* [[HypercompetentSidekick Shego]] from ''WesternAnimation/KimPossible''. She works as Drakken's [[PunchClockVillain mercenary]] [[TheDragon enforcer]], but her primary reason for villainy seems to be reacting against her LawfulStupid brothers after [[FaceHeelTurn quitting their superhero team]].

When the [[UpToEleven Lawful Stupid]] nature of the brothers is commented on, Shego responds "Why do you think I left!?"
