 ** Jack Noir ''[[Bait the Dog|starts]]'' as this. Later into the story...he's [[Complete Monster|significantly less ineffectual or sympathetic]].
 * Dr. Kinesis in [http://www.evilplan.thewebcomic.com Evil Plan]. His technology gets stolen, the other villains laugh at him, and on his minions' first mission, they bump into a brand new superhero.
-* In ''[[El Goonish Shive]]'', technically, {{spoiler|Magus}} was apparently behind the {{spoiler|v-five Elliot incident}}, and tried to manipulate Ellen within some plot that sounds [[Squick|quite dubious]]. And is not very good at this. But he's in desperate straits, which isn't even his own fault (unlike Abraham's case). And he's still reluctant to kill a guy who stands in his way even when pushed hard to do it.
