* ComicBook/CaptainAmerica in the 1970s grew increasing disenchanted with America until it climaxed with him becoming Nomad for a few adventures. Fortunately, he soon realized that he can still be Cap and fight for America's ''ideals'', rather than its government. He ended up doing it ''again'' (this time without a name change) in the 2000s after a reporter told him that America was about Facebook and voting for the girl with the biggest boobs on ''Series/AmericanIdol'', and not silly things like truth and justice and being able to trust in your government without looking like a fool.

* ''Webcomic/{{Forward}}'': Subverted: Lee has an extreme mistrust of authority figures, but given the kind person they are, nobody could call them "cool". As well, Doc notes that their mistrust of all authority figures is extremely unhealthy, and almost certainly a factor in why Lee is unable to interact with the world.
--> '''Doc''': A certain amount of mistrust of authority is recognized as healthy, and has, at times, helped to prevent abuse. But to view ''all'' authority as inherently malicious is a form of antisocial paranoia that would make it nigh-impossible for you to function in nearly any society.

* Many games about delinquents fall under this trope. ''VideoGame/JetSetRadio'' and its heavily inspired brother ''VideoGame/BombRushCyberfunk'' depict the protagonists as free-spirited rebels who like causing mischief and throwing up ink wherever they can. None of them like the police, with the latter game explicitly having [[spoiler:former antagonist Iris Rietveld defecting from the New Amsterdam police after becoming disgusted with their war on delinquents and finding that she could not reform the organization from the inside]].

* ''VideoGame/ShantaeAndTheSevenSirens'': The Spectacular Superstar Update contains [[https://youtu.be/YQaKqjMvzPg?t=9 Rule Breaker Mode]], which implies this trope with its showcase image, that she's rebelling against the authority of "The Rules", with CoolShades.

* ''{{Series/Firefly}}'' has this going on with the crew of the Serenity. They rebel by avoiding their not exactly well-meaning government while earning a living in a number of morally ambiguous ways.
* Hawkeye from ''{{Series/MASH}}'' might fall under this, although he usually only rebels against authority when authority is being stupid. Which is, admittedly, [[OnceAnEpisode every episode]]. This is the whole purpose of the show, to rebel against authority. Hawkeye even interrupts the peace talks because he feels they aren't doing enough.
** Other episodes play with this trope. For instance, Frank Burns was left in temporary command and decided that the medical staff were verging on alcoholism, and declares the 4077th 'dry'. By the end of the episode, despite Hawkeye's furious protests and rants, it's become clear and is portrayed as such that Frank ''did'' have a point, he just took it a bit too far. More brutally, on a later occasion Hawkeye himself is left in temporary command of the 4077th, and rapidly gains a different perspective on the sort of shenanigans he himself often pulls, to the point that he actually muses over charging B.J. Hunnicutt with being AWOL because he wasn't there when Hawkeye needed him for a medical crisis (he was responding to a different problem on his own, without authorization). Margaret even calls Hawkeye out about this by saying, "It's not so easy to be the clown when you have to run the whole circus. If Frank Burns could see you now."
* Played for laughs with Britta Perry on ''Series/{{Community}}''; she clearly ''believes'' cool people rebel, about herself especially, but her overall cluelessness about many of the things she protests about (or life in general) and the fact that deep down she's basically sweet no matter how much she wishes she wasn't means that she generally tends to come across as self-righteous, annoying and not nearly as cool as she believes.
