* Alejandro from ''[[Total Drama World Tour]]''; at least by the usual standards of ''Total Drama''. He manipulates more successfully than other antagonists in the past, and is responsible for more eliminations than anyone else. Declaring to take the contestants down "one by one", Alejandro first targets Team Victory, playing on Harold's sense of honor to get him to quit and leaving Bridgette stuck to a flagpole. When Team Victory dwindles down to only DJ, he easily wins over DJ's trust after painting a fake Egyptian symbol on Irene, in an attempt to make him believe his animal curse has been "lifted", before "accidentally" confessing that the whole thing was fake. When Duncan returns, Alejandro wastes no time exposing Duncan's infidelity, putting a target on Duncan's back as well as weakening Team Amazon. Making it to the finale of the season, despite being [[Out-Gambitted]] by Heather. Alejandro makes up for it in ''All Stars'' by stealing her immunity idol, turning her own manipulation of the team against her. Charming, devious and ruthless Alejandro's [[Villain Song]]; This is How We Will End It, fittingly depicted him as a puppetmaster pulling at everyone's strings to the end.

** ''Total Drama's'' original manipulator, [[Alpha Bitch|Heather]], as mentioned above, is the only one who is able to match him (and beat him, in the US ending) in the same series.

* Kyle Katz from ''[[Totally Spies]]'' is a thief who was unable to be captured by WOOHP after several successful several jewelry heists he performed across the world. Targeting to steal the Uzbekistan Pearl for his next heist, Katz then seduce the three spies that was sent to stop him with his manly charm to the point that he could easily stole the key to the vault that contains the jewelry. When the spies entered the vault, Katz took the pearl and then locks the girl in the vault while he escaped. Although being caught and defeated in the end, Katz still keeps his manly charm to the point he threw the rose to the road so that the three spies could get it. Despite one time appearance, Katz remains one of the most compelling enemies that the girls had faced in the series.
* In ''[[The Simpsons]]'', the organized crime community as a whole shows signs of this, but outside of the organized crime community there's also Sideshow Bob, Hank Scorpio, and the Springfield Cat Burglar.

** [[Gentleman Thief|The Springfield Cat Burglar]], real name Malloy, from "Homer The Vigilante," though a one-shot character, unarguably qualifies as this. He manages to steal from several homes very sneakily, (the in-story newspaper states that he struck at least 15 homes) and is implied to have done so without waking up any of their occupants; he also distracts the pets with food. He leaves a [[Calling Card]], too, and yet this doesn't lead back to him. {{spoiler|His identity is revealed when Abe Simpson finds a suspiciously large gem on Malloy's coffee table, but [[Alternate Character Interpretation|that he would even think to look could probably be attributable to "mistaking" Malloy coming into his room for the cat burglar coming into his room earlier on]]. Also, once caught, he [[Affably Evil|returns the items he stole and speaks very kindly about the rest of Springfield]]. He gets put in jail anyway, and tells the police that he buried millions of dollars' worth of money under a big T. [[What an Idiot!|Idiotically enough]], the police as well as the whole town rush to the site, not bothering to leave anyone behind to supervise his cell. As such, when they get to the big T, instead of finding the money, they find a letter [[Batman Gambit|stating that the money isn't really there and that he's used this time to escape from jail]].}}
