Line 4:
{{quote|"Why do I work for you people again?"
"Because your heart is strong and full of love. Let's fly." }}
* Ito, the God of Trust and Betrayal from ''[[A Moment of Peace]]'', [https://web.archive.org/web/20210317020533/http://www.momentarypeace.com/comic.php?num=116 steals dreams and crushes hopes]{{Dead link}} for a living, and has prosthetic hands forged from moments of despair by crows that grew hands to strangle people. Despite all this, he seems to be a nice guy when you get to know him.
* Ben from ''[[Loserz]]''. See [http://the-qlc.com/loserz/go/405 this strip] for his jerk tendencies and [http://the-qlc.com/loserz/go/480 this one] for his golden heart.
* Abel from ''[[Dan and Mab's Furry Adventures]]''. Though sometimes it's hard to tell whether he's a [[Jerk with a Heart of Gold]] or just a plain ol' jerk.
Line 11:
* ''[[Buck Godot: Zap Gun for Hire]]'' has the Klegdixal ambassador from the Gallimaufry arc. Possibly also [[Planet of Hats|the Klegs as a whole]]. The way the ambassador tells it, the Beemahs are their albatross, and they desperately want to fix the mistakes they made with the poor fuzzy little weapons.
* Davan from ''[[Something*Positive]]'', a sarcastic, cynical jerk but nonetheless is capable of great caring and fearsomely loyal to his close friends. In fact, most of the cast are like that.
*
** Susan adopts the angry [[Straw Feminist]] role mostly because it's an easy way to handle her daddy issues, but she's both smarter and nicer than that. So when something touches her where this convenient mask is too stretched, the next moment it's torn and you can see the real Susan (a cynical [[Deadpan Snarker]], but not without compassion), while jerks still face "The [[Hyperspace Mallet|Hammer]] [[Ice Queen|Queen]]".
** Diane is [[Alpha Bitch|a lying, haughty manipulative bitch]]... but she takes care of what friends she has, and helps Grace when she's in need. Also, "[https://www.egscomics.com/comic/party-186 Permission to hug?]" She changed her behavior after seeing her friends have bad reputation and having to reassess baseline for "cool" (when Susan killed an abomination and sent another running, Diane happened to be around and was plainly told she got the same magical affinity, possibly stronger).
* Rumisiel from ''[[Misfile]]'' is sleazy, sexist, drunken, stupid, incompetent... (the list goes on) until someone needs some [http://www.misfile.com/index.php?page=273 advice] about the [http://www.misfile.com/index.php?page=1003 human heart] or a [[Talking the Monster to Death|vengeful spirit placated]].
* Dandy from ''[[Dandy and Company]]''.
Line 27 ⟶ 28:
*** [http://www.sdamned.com/2010/01/01222010/ Except when] [http://www.sdamned.com/2010/01/01242010/ he does].
* Thanatos from ''[https://web.archive.org/web/20110825082411/http://kougawuvs.deviantart.com/gallery/ Gallows Humor]''
* Brent Sienna from [[PvP]]. Now [https://web.archive.org/web/20201028234130/http://pvponline.com/comic/family-matters-2 official].
* Mora and Rachael from ''[[Las Lindas]]''. The writer ''tries'' to portray Miles as one, but most consider him just a regular jerk.
* Cpt. Dahl from [[Air Force Blues]]. At least, when he gets into serious "Danger Zone" mode.
Line 53:
** Michio and Kento Kusagawa may be [[Trickster Twins]], but if someone is genuinely nice to them, they will help without second thoughts, and are pretty much [[Fan of the Underdog|fans of Jiro]].
* Sniper from ''[[Romantically Apocalyptic]]''. [[Word of God]] says he's actually a [[Nice Guy]], but considering [[Man Child|who he]] [[Cloudcuckoolander|has as]] [[Only Friend|company]], and all the [[Chew Toy|utter crap]] he gets put through (left hanging upside-down in an abandoned train, abducted by aliens, sent off on a quest [[Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking|with only a]] [[Hello Kitty]] [[Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking|handbag for protection]]), can you blame him for acting that way?
* Layla from ''[[Eerie Cuties]]''. She's rude to almost everyone and is convinced that she have to act haughty. But she loves her sister and her boyfriend and can be nice to random people... until she remembers the "need" to posture. Then it goes [https://
{{quote|'''Layla''': You should ''thank me!'' [[Hypocritical Humor|I wouldn't do that for just any- Hey! Who are you?]]}}
** Amusingly enough, ''[[Magick Chicks]]'' made it clear that Melissa is [[Not So Different]] - though they'd probably tear to shreds anyone who told it to them, except Tiffany who managed to befriend both while knowing they are theoretically on the "enemy" team. At least, she did add (if with some effort) Faith to the list of people whose imminent demise she considers undesirable, despite the trouble in question being a result of Faith's attempts to [[Mind Rape|turn her into]] one more adoring servile sex toy.
* In ''[[Gunnerkrigg Court]]'' Zimmy turns out to be like this. She snaps at people all the time and mocks anyone she can. And is irritated when someone tiptoes around her, as well. Then again, mostly she is jealous very about Gamma (or maybe deeply terrified to lose her), and knows that her condition is a danger for almost anyone around. Other than this, she cares at least about the people who can afford to hang out with her, and won't mind to help the others, given an opportunity.
