History Main / LovedByAll

* Franchise/MarvelUniverse
** ComicBook/CaptainAmerica is almost universally beloved in the Marvel Verse. To many, he is ''the'' superhero. This is deconstructed when [[spoiler:he is turned into a HYDRA agent by a RealityWarper. His fascist self takes advantage of his reputation to manipulate the American government into giving him power. The events of ''Comicbook/SecretEmpire'' ultimately result in HYDRA Cap tarnishing Steve Roger's reputation, meaning he no longer has a 100-percent adoration rating. Steve realizes this when a child he tries to help in the aftermath of the event is too scared of him to take his hand. Steve is actually somewhat ''relieved'' the people no longer unconditionally trust him. He has wanted them to stop blindly trusting authority figures and heroes all along because he is all too aware that can lead to fascism.]]
** Second to Cap in popularity in the Marvel Universe is the "The Ever-Lovin' Blue-Eyed Thing" of the ''ComicBook/FantasticFour''. Marvel citizens love him for his unquestionable heroism and charm, and every other hero in the universe, be they an Avenger, an X-Man, or otherwise, will aid him if asked.
** Mr. Fantastic is quite beloved as well, given his efforts to improve humanity and the countless times he's saved not just the Earth, but the whole universe from destruction. In ''ComicBook/CataclysmTheUltimatesLastStand'', Mysterio (who's from Universe 616 but stranded in the Ultimate universe) is absolutely stunned when he hears the heroes' utter contempt for that universe's Reed Richards, saying "He's like the most popular genius guy of all time. Hey, I even like him, and I don't like anybody."
* In Franchise/TheDCU, pretty much everyone who isn't a supervillain loves the heroes of their city, and some of the villains respect the heroes. Neither storyline elements nor executive mandates can ever truly change this in the long run.

* ComicBook/UltimateMarvel:

* ''Fanfic/CatarinaClaesMustDie'':
** Henrietta Garland is shocked to discover Catarina Claes is this, as she remembers from her past life that Catarina was a HateSink AlphaBitch in the world of ''Fortune Lover''. Despite so much evidence to prove the Catarina of this world is a dense sweetheart who wouldn't hurt a fly, Henrietta twists herself into knots rationalizing that Catarina is a [[ArcWords vile woman]] who is simply manipulating everyone into thinking otherwise. Even when Keith Claes and Maria Campbell angrily state that Catarina has ''never'' mistreated them, Henrietta misconstrues it as ingratitude towards her for "trying to help them." After Henrietta confesses that she tried to murder Catarina out of fear she would lead their kingdom to ruin should she marry Prince Geordo and would gladly do so again if given the chance, she's attacked by a group of enraged young women (with her former bestie Francine Ridgeway landing the first blow) who can't believe she'd hurt someone as kind as Catarina.
** Catarina herself is shocked to learn she's so beloved by her classmates ''and'' their families, as she still believes she's "the villainess" despite all she's done to help her family, friends, and those around her. She does think being called "The Academy Saintess" is a bit much.
* ''[[Fanfic/TheLamentSeriesChaoticNeutral Chloe's Lament]]'': Chloe wants to be this trope and thinks she deserves to be. She is the RichBitch who is HatedByAll and thinks the only reason for that is because she's the mayor's daughter, not because she is a SpoiledBrat who never thinks of others. When Chloe makes the Wish and swaps lives with Marinette, the ClassPrincess who actually is this trope, Chloe believes that their fortunes will be swapped too and she herself will finally be this trope. [[spoiler:She doesn't.]]

* ''Fanfic/FashionUpgrade'' (''WesternAnimation/MiraculousLadybug''): Marinette for the entire school. The teachers know how well-behaved she is and all want her in their class to the point they argue over it. The other students are intrigued and besotted with the idea of getting to know her. Her own class is rather disheartened to find out she's been moved out.
* ''Fanfic/InvaderZimABadThingNeverEnds'': Minimoose is adored by Zim and his minions, and even Tak and Dib like him despite being enemies.
* PlayedForDrama in ''Fanfic/TwoLetters''. The new Ladybug is widely, openly admired by everyone in Paris, to the point where practically everyone has some kind of button or token declaring they support her. Mainly because she's built up a CultOfPersonality around herself, fostering an environment where the character of anyone who ''doesn't'' openly support her is called into question. Don't they know she's their ''hero''...?

'''Stan:''' [[SuddenlyShouting Bad?! Are you kidding me, kid?!]] [[HairTriggerTemper Things between me and her weren't just bad, they were--]] ''(He abruptly cuts himself off, especially as he glanced over at the twins who were looking to him with just as much curiosity as the young Gem was.)'' [[MoodSwinger You know what?]] [[SayingTooMuch Let's just say things were bad and leave it at that, ok?]]

* In ''Film/AntManAndTheWaspQuantumania'', for the role he played in helping undo the Snap, Scott has become a very beloved hero. In the beginning of the film, he can being happily greeted by people in San Francisco. He even gets seen as the one of the original Avengers.

** [[Characters/MiraculousLadybugMarinetteDupainCheng Marinette Dupain-Cheng]], both in and out of her hero mask, is this trope. As Ladybug, she is the city's savior who bravely defends the people against Hawkmoth and wins the SingleTargetSexuality of her partner. In her civilian life, she is the ClassPrincess who gets along with everyone and is always willing to help. She even wins the approval of the adults around her. The only two people who don't hold some sort of affection towards her are [[AlphaBitch Chloe]] and [[BitchInSheepsClothing Lila]] (and [[EvenTheLovingHeroHasHatedOnes the feeling's mutual]]).
** [[Characters/MiraculousLadybugAdrienAgreste Adrien Agreste]] is also this, in and out of his hero mask. As Cat Noir, he's a beloved hero who is well-liked by citizens, and even his partner Ladybug cares for him even though she doesn't return his romantic feelings. In his civilian life, he's a popular model and one of the most loved students at school. Unlike Marinette, he's liked even by Chloe and Lila, who both have an EntitledToHaveYou attitude toward him.

* PlayedForDrama in ''Fanfic/TwoLetters''. The new Ladybug is widely, openly admired by everyone in Paris, to the point where practically everyone has some kind of button or token declaring they support her. Mainly because she's built up a CultOfPersonality around herself, fostering an environment where the character of anyone who ''doesn't'' openly support her is called into question. Don't they know she's their ''hero''...?
* Zig-zagged with [[WesternAnimation/HazbinHotel Charlie Morningstar]] in ''Fanfic/ADivineRomanticComedy''. On the one hand, she's widely disliked by Sinners and the average Hellborn as a result of her optimistic worldview and pacifistic nature. However, she's well-loved and adored among the Seven Deadly Sins, being considered a lovable niece to the other six, including ''[[{{Jerkass}} Mammon!]]''

* ''Myth/ClassicalMythology'': Hestia is a person loved and adored by her divine family which ranges from the likes of [[TricksterGod Hermès]], [[ReallyGetsAround Zeus]] and [[GodOfChaos Eris]] among others. As demonstrated when [[EveryoneHasStandards they all united]] to beat the crap out of Priapus after he [[NearRapeExperience tried and failed to rape her]].
** Patroclus also seemed to be this; the entirety of the Greek army flips out when he dies, and even his various captured concubines mourn him.
* ''Myth/NorseMythology'': Baldr, the god of light, beauty, purity, and the summer sun. He was so loved that, when he died, all objects alive and dead wept for him (except the giantess Thökk, often presumed to be Baldr's murderer in disguise, Loki).
* "Myth/Arthurian Legend": Sir Gareth of Orkney is liked by all and his accidental killing by Sir Lancelot du Lac sparks a furious revenge quest.

* ''Franchise/SuperMarioBros'': Mario himself is extremely popular and loved by pretty much everyone who meets him. He's such a NiceGuy and is always willing to help anyone who is in danger. His heroism and bravery also make him loved by not just the citizens of the Mushroom Kingdom but even foreign countries like the BeanBean Kingdom and Isle Delfino. Heck even Bowser, his ArchEnemy, who hates him still has respect for him and admits he's the right guy to be his nemesis. It's quite telling that Mario is even able to make friends with people who were his enemies once, like Vivian and Donkey Kong, just because he is that nice.
** Princess Peach is another universally loved person. She is adored by every single one of her subjects but her kind and sweet nature makes it easy for people from other kingdoms to take an instant liking to her.

In HaremGenre plots and situations, the loved character is often TheEveryman, and sometimes his characterization doesn't justify the "Loved by all" trait that the character has, especially when it's WishFulfillment or a PowerFantasy.

** King Gavilar was beloved by all Alethi characters in the books, to the point where his assassination at the hands of Szeth led to the formerly divided Alethi highprinces forming a "Bloodpact" to go to war with the people responsible for Gavilar's death. However, it's slowly revealed that Gavilar was a much darker and more evil man than he first appeared, with megalomania and dreams of attaining godhood, and this causes his reputation to start crumbling.

* ''WesternAnimation/HouseOfMouse'': WesternAnimation/MickeyMouse is universally loved by almost everyone ''in the entire Disney-universe'' (with CrankyLandlord Pete and the jealous {{Butt-Monkey}}s Mortimer Mouse and WesternAnimation/DonaldDuck being the rare exceptions), succesfully running a club which main purpose is to show cartoons of himself.

** Then right next to Best Jeanist is Hawks, and it isn't hard to see how people adore him for his easygoing nature and charismatic attitude. He is most likely to get [[JustForPun crowded]] on the street and spend the time taking selfies and giving out autographs.

* ''WesternAnimation/AmericanDad'': In the episode "I Can't Stan You", Stan ''thinks'' he's this, but when he brings home CIA-grade eavesdropping equipment, he overhears their neighbors repeatedly insulting and criticizing him and realizes it's [[HatedByAll quite the opposite]]. The rest of the episode centers on Stan trying to get such an approval rating, and when he fails, [[DisproportionateRetribution he settles for simply having everyone deported]]. This ultimately backfires when he nearly chokes to death [[HoistByHisOwnPetard and there's literally no one around to help him]], until one of the neighbor kids arrives to save him, proceeding to show how [[HardTruthAesop the neighbors also insult and criticize each other, not just Stan in particular]].

* ''WesternAnimation/HeyArnold'': Arnold’s kindness and helpfulness over the years have made him the most beloved kid in his neighborhood. Come ‘’WesternAnimation/HeyArnoldTheJungleMovie'' people who helped over the help show a video of how he has helped them, so he could win a trip to San Lorenzo.

** Marinette, both in and out of her hero mask, is this trope. As Ladybug, she is the city's savior who bravely defends the people against Hawkmoth and wins the SingleTargetSexuality of her partner. In her civilian life, she is the ClassPrincess who gets along with everyone and is always willing to help. She even wins the approval of the adults around her. The only two people who don't hold some sort of affection towards her are [[AlphaBitch Chloe]] and [[BitchInSheepsClothing Lila]] (and [[EvenTheLovingHeroHasHatedOnes the feeling's mutual]]).
** Adrien is also this, in and out of his hero mask. As Cat Noir, he's a beloved hero who is well-liked by citizens, and even his partner Ladybug cares for him even though she doesn't return his romantic feelings. In his civilian life, he's a popular model and one of the most loved students at school. Unlike Marinette, he's liked even by Chloe and Lila, who both have an EntitledToHaveYou attitude toward him.

* ''WesternAnimation/StevenUniverse'': Steven is an AllLovingHero and everyone loves him back. He's been able to deal with jerks, bullies, and [[BreadEggsMilkSquick Homeworld Gems]], reforming them in the process. Zig-zagged, however, as by the end of the franchise, the only characters left that Steven has not been able to reason with/befriend are [[spoiler:Aquamarine/Eyeball (aka Bluebird Azurite), Kevin, and Marty]]. Steven is ultimately able to win over [[spoiler:Jasper]], albeit in a ''very'' messed-up way. He also becomes [[spoiler:beloved by the Diamonds]].

** Franchise/GreenLantern Hal Jordan can request people to leave his city to protect them: they'll just rally the city in a green display in support of him amidst a Sinestro Corps invasion.

** ''ComicBook/TheUltimates'': Captain America, as in all incarnations. The president of the US and most of the people in the presidential line of succession are killed by ComicBook/TheMaker, so new elections are called amid a civil war. Captain America did not run for the presidency, he was busy protecting refugees, which was filmed on live television... and so, many people voted for him as a write-in candidate. Sometime later, tired of the protocols, Captain America wanted to step down from the presidency. Stark tried to talk him out of it, saying that he's "the most popular president since... well, ''ever''".

* ''WesternAnimation/AmericanDad'': In the episode "I Can't Stan You", Stan ''thinks'' he's this, but when he brings home CIA-grade eavesdropping equipment, he overhears their neighbors repeatedly insulting and criticizing him and realizes it's [[HatedByAll quite the opposite]]. The rest of the episode centers on Stan trying to get such an approval rating, and when he fails, [[DisproportionateRetribution he settles for simply having everyone deported]].

* Manga/StarStrikeItRich: Hina is universally loved by members of the Army of God, even those who completly left the cult behind. This clues Hana that there's something unnatural going on, since no matter how popular someone is, there's always going to be a few people who don't like them.
