** John Stewart was a bit of a jerk as an AngryBlackMan in his first story. He was belligerent enough for Hal Jordan to question the Guardians' judgement about having him recruited as his new backup. However, Stewart quickly proves himself and Jordan happily concedes at the end of the story that while Stewart's outspoken style might be off-putting, he's still an excellent recruit.

** Even in his darkest iterations, Batman does what he does so that one day, there'll never be another little boy forced to watch his parents get killed in the street.
** Also, Damian Wayne, Batman's son. In ''Batman'' #666, as a FutureBadAss, he is shown having a pet cat he named Alfred. And in canon, he was [[EvenEvilHasStandards visibly disgusted and threw up]] when he saw hundreds of dead bodies of children. Also from canon, he has been visiting Hush (who had surgery to make him look like Bruce Wayne), who was imprisoned in the Wayne Tower, and playing chess with him. Hush suspects that he does this because Damian is grieving for his father and it's a way for him to spend some time with his father.
** Jason Todd, despite the things he's done and the murders he's committed, [[PetTheDog takes in Sasha]], a young girl whose face was mutilated by villain Professor Pyg. When she feared that the mask that Pyg had stuck to her face would make it that no doctor could fix it, he assured her that it wouldn't make her any less special. In ''ComicBook/RedHoodAndTheOutlaws'' it's shown that he deeply cares for the All-Caste, considering them his family and hesitating when confronted with their zombie forms, and once saved a village.
** ComicBook/PoisonIvy as well. Despite being a fanatical ecoterrorist who gets entertainment out of throwing living people to giant flesh eating plants, she deeply cares about her friend Harley Quinn, and has been a jealously protective and loving MamaBear to the stray children who fell under her care while Gotham City was ravaged by an earthquake.

However, his side of the SlapSlapKiss relationship between him and teammate Ice is genuinely tender and sensitive, a fact that Ice's friend Fire flat out ''refuses'' to believe. Additionally, originally he consciously put on his tough guy facade to cope with being TheUnFavorite with an overachieving big brother.
*** And underneath his bad attitude is a true hero, a man willing to fight and die to protect the universe from harm [[spoiler:and deemed best suited to lead the GL Corps as the #1 Lantern.]]
*** In his early, pre-Green Lantern days he was a kindergarten teacher. Hal had to save him when he hurt himself rescuing a busload of his students he was taking on a field trip.
*** The bus rescue happened at the beginning of the issue that introduced John Stewart in 1971, the JerkAss persona came about later with the Crisis on Infinite Earths in 1985. It was apparently attributed to brain damage caused by his many misfortunes in the previous decade or so, starting with the injury he suffered at the aforementioned bus rescue when the bus fell on him and culminating with a few years in a coma before the Guardians revived him.
