Line 86:
* Dorchenov from ''[[Metal Armor Dragonar]]'' is this, combined with [[The Starscream]]. A petty, arrogant and [[Dirty Coward|cowardly]] militaristic bully with an [[It's All About Me]] attitude who [[We Have Reserves|sacrifices his own soldiers]] without a care in the world, but nevertheless seems to think he's an incredibly [[Badass]] [[Magnificent Bastard]]. Unfortunately for him, it is pretty clear that he's a simpleton who is only dangerous because he's in a position of power - it is telling that even when his plans go the way he wants, it is only through brute strength or a stroke of dumb luck.
* [[Braiger|Khamen Khamen]]
* Ren Sohma from ''[[Fruits Basket]]''. She's [[Tall, Dark and Bishoujo|beautiful]], [[Manipulative Bitch|sly, manipulative]]...and not just [[Complete Monster|despicable]], but in the end, very ''incompetent''. {{spoiler|She has to manipulate Rin to get her late husband Akira's box (and Rin then fails and is horrifyingly "punished" by its owner, Ren's much hated and abused daughter Akito), is humiliated by Shigure when he tells her he only had sex with her because she looks like an older Akito, and once her plans crumble, she's left as an [[Empty Shell]] of her former self.}}
* [[Revolutionary Girl Utena|Touga Kiryuu]] ''is'' very handsome, charming and manipulative -- but ultimately, he's a horrendous [[Jerkass]] even to his sister Nanami, and he can't hold a candle to {{spoiler|the ''real'' [[Magnificent Bastard]] of the series, Akio Ohtori.}}
* Gouda of ''[[Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex]]'' is a quite intelligent man, but he has a massive inferiority complex which makes him quite a Smug Snake. He really likes to grate on people and put them down, and the protagonists get an idea of his plan fairly early on precisely because he's the kind of person that wants recognition of his cleverness.
