* The [[Ultimate Marvel]] version of [[Captain America (comics)|Captain America]] has many outdated views since he is a [[Fish Out of Temporal Water]] but he gets over it for the most part.
* Marv from ''[[Sin City]]'' once told his lesbian parole officer that it was a shame she was gay since she had such a great body. She slugged him for it.
* In ''[[The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen]]'', Captain Nemo of actually hates the English, despite working for them. Being an Indian prince ([[Alan Moore]] actually [[Shown Their Work|went back and researched]] and discovered [[Jules Verne]] had never intended Nemo to be [[Ink Stain Adaptation|white]]), he's understandably bitter about [[The British Empire]] [[The Raj|dominating his Homeland]], bus takes his homicidal rage [[Up to Eleven]] when there's a crowd of English Mooks to mow down. Most of the casual racism and sexism is pretty much [[Played for Laughs]] or [[Deliberate Values Dissonance]], [[Sociopathic Hero|Griffin and Hyde]] notwithstanding.
* Lance Blastoff from [[Frank Miller]]'s ''Tales to Offend''. It's probably intended as parody but, with Miller, it's sometimes hard to tell.
* In a ''[[Runaways]]'' story arc where the group finds themselves in the 1800s, a number of the "talented" street urchins they stay with refer to the Asian-American Nico as "the oriental" (she corrects one person with "I'm Japanese, by way of Glendale"). When Klara sees Karoline being intimate with Xavin (who is in his/her usual body of a black human woman), she freaks out at how "wrong" it is and refers to Xavin as a "negress". {{spoiler|She seems to get past it when they bring her to present times.}}
* A few [[Underground Comics]] from the 1960s had satirically ultra-conservative "heroes" like this, such as ''Wonder Wart-Hog'' and ''Captain Guts'', that portrayed groups like minorities and foreigners (usually communists) as villains. The protagonists would certainly not be considered heroes in a traditional sense, but are depicted that way in the comics.
