Line 10:
*** While the Necromancers of the Shintula clan, who channel the black Power of Death, can be quite violent and brutal and are not known for kindness, they are mostly desperate and try to save the land. The Bikta, who channel the white Power of Life, are however [[Knights Templar]] of the worst kind.
* In [http://www.faans.com/books1-6/index.php?p=1515 this strip] of ''[[Fans]]'', {{spoiler|after the 23-sider of power is recreated,}} Tim spells out this trope for Ally.
* The Light Warriors of ''[[Eight 8-Bit Theater (Webcomic)|Eight Bit Theater]]'' who despite being (or more accurately passing off as) [[The Chosen One|the Chosen Ones]] of destiny are a bunch of [[Villain Protagonist|Villain Protagonists]] who commit a bunch of atrocities [[For the Evulz]] and/or out of sheer incompetence. In fact, they've been straight up stated to be the most evil beings of the world, with Fighter being [[Token Good Teammate|the exception]].
* Blanc from ''[[Adventurers (Webcomic)|Adventurers]]'' had white hair, wore all white, and shot blasts of white energy.
* The main character Danny of ''[[Chess Piece]]'' uses Holy and is a [[White -Haired Pretty Boy]] (but didn't start out that way), but is a sadistic, amoral [[Evil Prince]] who may or may not have killed his great-grandfather. Ironically, in spite of this, (and his [[Take Over the World]] scheme) a short time when he ruled the country while his dad was gone saw him to be a fair ruler. Go figure.
** That's because it's purposely kept ambiguous on what he plans to do with the world once he takes over it.
* You know how ''[[The Adventures of Dr. McNinja (Webcomic)|Dr. McNinja]]'' recently got a new motorcycle? {{spoiler|That motorcycle is actually a polymorphed Unicorn, and ever since he got it, the Doc has been acting more and more erratically and amorally. Coincidence? You decide.}}
** Oh, and it was recently revealed that {{spoiler|the previous owner of the unicorn bike had gone on a bloody killing spree. That owner? ''An elderly antiques dealer'' who had no memory of even '''owning''' the thing. And as soon as he ''does'' remember, he's mysteriously murdered. Yeah...}}
** Recently brought to a head when King Radical reveals that {{spoiler|Sparklelord is an [[Evil Overlord]] and describes him as a combination of Genghis Khan, Adolf Hitler, atomic bombs and [[Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking|Seabiscut]].}}
** More recently revealed is that {{spoiler|King Radical was lying through his teeth, the motorcycle is only a little worse than he is. He then rides away on his own magic motorcycle, laughing.}}
* ''[[Shadowgirls]]'''s main villain, [[Cosmic Horror|Mother Hydra]]. In human host she/it has light-based powers, as a [[Foil]] to protagonist's shadow-based. It doesn't help that {{spoiler|her host is blonde girl who happens to speak in golden speech-bubbles.}}
Line 24:
* Two of ''[[Homestuck]]'''s characters are Heroes of Light, and they both play with this trope a little. [[Little Miss Badass|Rose]], as the Seer of Light, touches it by proxy, preferring to use dark-based magic (thus playing into [[Dark Is Not Evil]]), while [[Chronic Backstabbing Disorder|Vriska]], the Thief of Light, is...[[Base Breaker|"ambiguous"]].
** "Light" in the Homestuck mythos is actually the Aspect of Fortune, not goodness or literal light, which partially explains this.
** Eridan is the "Prince of Hope", yet has genocidal ambitions. He gets a white wand that lets him shoot blasts of light, {{spoiler|and becomes decidedly a [[Not -So -Harmless Villain]] by using them to blind his romantic rival and kill his love interest, an egg needed to revive his race's future chance of survival, and the friend in charge of keeping it}}. Later it's revealed that the Prince class is {{spoiler|one who destroys their Aspect or destroys with it}}.
** In fact, one of the posters on the MSPA forum has noticed that most "threats [to the trolls] feature or involve lights or brightness" ({{spoiler|Vriska's fairy sparkles, Eridan's [[Black Magic|"white science"]], vampire Kanaya (the troll undead are associated with the sun, and Kanaya ''glows''), the way Terezi becomes blind, and Bec Noir's white-green lightning.}}) "All pretty grim and chilling for a nocturnal race--very well-constructed".
** Feferi is the Witch of Life, the life aspect generally bringing healing powers. Assuming her ancestor, the [[Evil Overlord|Imperial]] [[Big Bad Duumvirate|Condesce]], has the same attribute (she ''was'' able to extend another troll's life-span, after all,) then she definitely qualifies for this.
