Line 63:
* Writers who don't like presenting [[Doctor Doom]] as a [[Noble Demon]] will sometimes make him more unsympathetic by having him voice racist and sexist sentiments. This is at odd with Doom's more frequent characterization as having egalitarian views (in the anti-bigotry, not (obviously) in a pro-democracy sense), and who loathes bigotry on account of his Roma ancestry. Fans [[Fanon Discontinuity|tend to conclude]] that bigoted Dooms were [[Actually a Doombot|actually malfunctioning Doombots]].
* [[Norman Osborn]] is one. He is sexist, violent xenophobe, admires Hitler and the [[Red Skull]]. White supremacists believe he is a true hero of white Americans.
* The Norsefire Party in ''[[V for Vendetta]]''. Whether they are opportunists who simply took advantage of the apocalyptic disaster (as they were in the graphic novel) or purposely caused it (as in the movie) this organization are [[A Nazi Byby Any Other Name|Nazis by Any Other Name]], seizing control of Britain after using minorities, gays, and other "undesireably" groups as scapegoats.
** Downplayed with their leader, as while both are incredibly evil, his motives depend on the version. Adam Susan (from the comic) is indeed a fascist who is devoted to his extremist ideas. Adam Sutler (from the film) is simply a greedy, power-hungry despot who seems to be a zealot, but would abandon the ideals of the Norsefire Party if they proved unsuccessful. Exactly which version is worse is debatable.
* Call-Me-Kenneth, from ''[[Judge Dredd (comics)|Judge Dredd]]'', the leader of [[Turned Against Their Masters| a robot rebellion]] who was literally inspired by Hitler and the Nazis, though he tended to treat robots the way he did everyone else - like garbage.
