* ''Anime/VoltesV'': [[AlienPrince Prince]] [[PrettyBoy Heinel]] is a dark example, as his idea of "patriotism" is extreme nationalism where "lesser" races are forcibly enslaved and neighbouring planets are forcibly integrated into the Boazanian Empire. He also believes in CapitalPunishment for those who turn their backs on the Empire. [[spoiler: When [[TheHero Kenichi]] claims to be half-Boazanian, Heinel flies into a rage and begins slashing things with his sword.]]

This archetype was most popular in UsefulNotes/TheGoldenAgeOfComicBooks and almost vanished during UsefulNotes/TheDarkAgeOfComicBooks. Compare TheCape; often there is overlap, sometimes he is both.

* The 2021 film ''Gūdǎn Xíngdòng'' (Roughly translated as "Brave One-Man Action", formerly named '''Captain China'' but unrelated to the eponymous comic book) features Zhōngduì (l''it. "[[OneManArmy Squadron]]"''), a Chinese-themed superhero. The story follows him, the first and only successful subject of a super-[[IdolGenre idol]] who [[IdentityAmnesia forgets his origins]] but turns into a popular yet shallow media superhero... At least until the evil [[JapanTakesOverTheWorld Japanese]] [[EvilInc media company]] that created him manages to complete their upgraded product, an army of GasMaskMooks with literal {{Anime}}[=-=]themed superpowers and get rid of him. Thankfully, Effendi (from ''[[https://m.imdb.com/title/tt6861180/ The Tales of Effendi]]'', who is looking for a new Chinese hero [[GodsNeedPrayerBadly since they're becoming forgotten]], saves Zhōngduì from irrelevance and teaches him virtuous morals, [[martial arts]] and gives him a [[SpellBook magic book]] to summon classic Chinese heroes like [[Literature/RomanceOfTheThreeKingdoms Guan Yu]], [[Literature/JourneyToTheWest Sun Wukong]], [[Literature/TheReturnOfTheCondorHeroes Yang Guo]], [[Literature/TheSmilingProudWanderer Dongfang Bubai]] or the Animation/CalabashBrothers.

* ''Film/KickAss2'' had Colonel Stars-and-Stripes, a former mob enforcer who had a HeelFaithTurn and joined the titular hero's team of vigilantes as the dependable TeamDad. He dressed in Army fatigues and fought with an [[BatterUp American flag patterned axe handle]] alongside an [[HeroesLoveDogs attack dog]] named [[UsefulNotes/DwightDEisenhower Eisenhower]]. [[spoiler:He becomes a SacrificialLion, as he suffered DeathByIrony at the hands of the supervillain [[MotherRussiaMakesYouStrong Mother Russia]].]]
