* Franchise/GreenLantern Hal Jordan's younger brother, Jim Jordan.
* Franchise/{{Batman}}:
** [[ComicBook/{{Nightwing}} Dick Grayson.]] Creator/DCComics' official position is that he's the most beloved superhero in the community (yes, even moreso than ''Superman'') and that almost any member of it would instantly drop what they were doing to help if he were in trouble. He's also been shown to get along famously with Superman even after the events of ''[[ComicBook/SupermanTruth Truth]].''
** [[ComicBook/RedRobin Tim Drake]] is also a nice guy, especially early in ''ComicBook/RobinSeries''. He took care of his girlfriend who was pregnant with her ex-boyfriend's child, thinks of others before himself and is good at babysitting kids. In the new DCU, he was also called a nice guy by Wondergirl (although he's considerably less likable in the new continuity).
** Speaking of his girlfriend, Stephanie "Spoiler" Brown [[note]]who has also been both Batgirl and Robin [[/note]], she is one of the nicest members of the Batfamily. She has never once lost [[PluckyGirl her positive, upbeat attitude]], never [[DarkerAndEdgier descended to the same levels as the people she fought]], and also never so much as cheated on a test. She is the only Bat-character to never {{angst}} or approach psychosis because of her affiliation with the icon.
* Mr. Tawky Tawny in the ''ComicBook/{{Shazam}}'' franchise sometimes causes a scare for being a humanoid tiger, but anyone who takes the time to know about him will realize that he is a perfect gentleman and a wonderful person to know.
* [[ComicBook/{{Shazam}} Captain Marvel]] is this in most incarnations, despite a fairly rough childhood. Billy Batson is usually a really sweet guy, often remarked on by other characters as being polite, friendly, kind and 'sunny'. And despite being able to turn into a superpowered demi-god, he is just as polite, friendly and kind as Captain Marvel. The Nu-52 version of Billy averts this, being a JerkWithAHeartOfGold, with said heart being buried waaaaay down beneath a whole lot of jerk.
* Jaime Reyes' ComicBook/BlueBeetle is basically Spider-Man without the world crapping on him as much. Thankfully, he has a strong supporting cast he could play off of.
* And of course, Franchise/TheFlash. No matter which one, The Flash will be this. Golden Age Jay Garrick, Silver Age Barry Allen, Bronze Age Wally West (though he bounced between this, JerkWithAHeartOfGold and ChivalrousPervert), DorkAge Bart Allen, all of them are consistently great guys who can and will become the best friend and surrogate brother of anyone they're with.
* Hollis Mason, in ''ComicBook/{{Watchmen}}'', doubles as the OnlySaneMan. He's humble, friendly, and took up his career because he wanted to be a superhero. About the only thing he did in the story that could even count as ''mean'' was calling out a few people in his autobiography, and even then, the only person who really got it was [[PsychoForHire The Comedian]].
* In ''ComicBook/{{Fables}}'', Boy Blue is possibly the nicest character in the series, being eternally friendly, polite, hard-working and caring. However, BewareTheNiceOnes is in full effect; in his past he was a brave soldier, but [[RetiredBadass he deliberately chose to be a boring office clerk]] because he simply didn't like adventure and fighting. When circumstances demand his return to action, however, he reminds everyone just what he can do, and even when he's not in action he's not afraid to call people out if they're behaving stupidly. The problems of the NiceGuy character in a romance arc actually get discussed in-story; Rose Red was definitely attracted to him after his adventures, but the attraction wanes when she realises he doesn't actually want to be an exciting person and was quite content to be an unpretentious nice guy, [[AllGirlsWantBadBoys which didn't mesh well with her own preferences for danger and excitement]].
** The Frog Prince Ambrose is another example, though in a slightly different way; Ambrose at first gave off the DumbIsGood vibe, while Blue's intelligence, courage and skill were known quite early on in the series, making his niceness more of a deliberate choice. However, it's later discovered that Ambrose takes it all the way up to IncorruptiblePurePureness levels, [[spoiler: and the MessianicArchetype powers he later gets are dependent on him maintaining this]]. He is best friends with Boy Blue, who points out that Ambrose was the ''only'' fable who had absolutely no crimes to be absolved of under the amnesty.

* [[ComicBook/TheHulk Bruce Banner]], is a kind hearted, well intentioned, self sacrificing person as long as you don't piss him off. The Hulk can also be considered one although he leans more towards a GentleGiant and a BruiserWithASoftCenter.
* ComicBook/{{Starfire}} is [[DependingOnTheWriter sometimes]] this. She comes from a culture of love and often helps her fellow heroes with their personal problems. Although she is often also a case of GoodIsNotSoft.
