* The character [[AccidentalPervert Akuto]] [[NiceGuy Sai]] from [[IchibanUshironoDaimaou Ichiban Ushiro no Daimaou]] is an incredibly misunderstood character who wants nothing more than to do good despite being [[SelfFullfillingDestiny the future Demon King]]. Because of this status, nearly all of the school despises him.

But he just doesn't ''feel'' like it. Maybe the relationship between him and Dad is strained. Maybe he was [[RaisedByNatives raised by humans]] and [[UpbringingMakesTheHero shown the ways of love and justice.]] Perhaps there are just more interesting things to do? Of course, the sheer ''{{irony}}'' of [[RebelliousRebel the ultimate rebel's offspring rebelling against him]] is delicious.

* ''TeenTitans''' Raven, or at least the closest you can get away with in a family-rated show. Notable in that she doesn't succeed in averting her apocalyptic destiny, but instead helps the world [[ResetButton get better]] afterward.

** Merlin's mother was raped/seduced by either the Devil or some random demon, however she had Merlin baptized as soon as he was born, relieving him of his Antichrist status but still giving him nifty magical powers. Since Medieval Christianity generally thought any sort of power must come from either [[HijackedByJesus God or Satan]], this story [[RetCon explained]] how Merlin perform his magical acts without being a saint.

*** Oh all that super natural genetic modifying ended up being more successful than thought, as "Satan" had a daughter too!... or not as Satana (eventually) turned on her fathers became a hero too. [[TheDevilIsALoser Yeah evil is stupid]]. She's kind of a bitch, though.

* In the ChickTract [[http://www.chick.com/reading/tracts/1047/1047_01.asp?wpc=1047_01.asp&wpp=a First Bite]], Satan's ChosenOne gets converted to Christianity on his ''[[EasyEvangelism first mission]]''. {{Epic fail}}, [[HollywoodMeaningfulName Igor]]!

* Carmilla (Sara Waite), in the WhateleyUniverse. She's supposed to be The Kellith, grand-daughter of [[CosmicHorror Shub-Niggurath]], who will wipe the Earth of humans and repopulate it with her spawn. She doesn't want to. She's already fought The Kellith to the death.

* [[MeaningfulName Nagisa]] Kaworu from ''NeonGenesisEvangelion'' fits this trope, especially in the manga. He was born to destroy humanity, but he ultimately decides not to out of love for Shinji. (In the manga, he knows that if he doesn't, he will be killed anyway, so he wants to choose how he dies. He also has the nerve to privately say a fight is fixed so that ''he'' can destroy humanity, not Armisael.)

* In ''Son of Rosemary'' -- a direct sequal to the ''Rosemary's Baby'' novel, hence unrelated to the film-sequal above -- Satan-sired baby Andy has grown up to run a global charitable foundation, and claims to be struggling to cancel out his evil side by doing good. Descendents of the cult from the first book seek to undermine his attempts to ScrewDestiny and be a good man. [[spoiler: In the end, his mother wakes up in 1965, to find that her child's conception and entire life were AllJustADream. This is implied to be a RetCon that Andy willed upon the world, once his full powers as the Antichrist manifested, so he wouldn't have to bring on the apocalypse.]]

* MarvelComics has this character named Daimon Hellstrom, '''Son of Satan'''!

** Nice nod to The Omen with Daimon's name, too...
*** The Omen was released in 1976, Hellstrom's first appeared in 1973. So either the nod was [[OlderThanTheyThink the other way around]] or it was only a coincidence.

Of course, the Forces of Evil[[TradeSnark ™]] often [[VillainousDemotivator make it really difficult for themselves;]] by demanding that their champion [[IfYoureSoEvilEatThisKitten kill their lover, their friends, and anyone who is nice to them]]. Seriously, the AntiAntichrist didn't want to join their club in the first place; how is this supposed to convince them? What did they [[WhatWereYouThinking think]] the response was going to be? Of course, they don't consider it at all. It's part of the [[AndYourLittleDogToo rules]], dagnabit. If they actually promised and delivered BetterLivingThroughEvil they might have had more success.

* Rin from ''Ao No Exorcist''. He only learns his true parentage after Satan himself comes to claim him, killing the exorcist who was his foster-father in the process. Determined to avenge his father, Rin vows to become an exorcist himself. Naturally he can't tell anyone at [[WizardingSchool exorcist academy]] about this, least of all his classmates (at least one of whom has devoted himself to killing Satan). [[spoiler:His "headmaster", Mephisto, may also qualify as he prefers to side with the exorcists rather then join his father and brother in Gehenna.]]

* Raven from ''Comicbook/TeenTitans''

** Nice nod to The Omen with the Daimon's name, too...

* Arguably, the Silver Surfer from ''FantasticFour''.

* In ''{{Exalted}}'', it's always possible for an Abyssal or Infernal Exalted to defy the will of their [[OmnicidalManiac respective]] [[TheLegionsOfHell masters]] and do the right thing. Unfortunately, this tends to bite them in the ass -- Abyssals gain Resonance for adopting mortal trappings, and must bleed it off by adopting the trappings of death (e.g. sleeping in crypts, performing funerary rights) lest it explode and kill everyone close to them, and Infernals build Torment that can only be bled off by [[CardCarryingVillain doing villainous things such as monologuing, sticking people in death traps, etc]].

* Vanessa, daughter of the evil MadScientist Dr. Doofenschmirtz, from ''PhineasAndFerb'' dresses in a black catsuit but insists she is not evil (with the one occasion of slippage being the Mary MacGuffin doll).

***That one's up for interpretation -- it's never actually stated, and Piccolo Daimyo called him "my son" when he spat out the egg.[[hottip:*:In the FUNimation dub, at least]]. YourMilageMayVary.
