History PoliticallyIncorrectVillain / ComicBooks

** Near the end of the "Red Harvest" arc of Brian K. Vaughan's run, Agent Romero derogatively refers to the openly gay Agent Orange as a "nancy".

* ''ComicBook/SwampThing'': Nancy A. Collins' run had a part where Swamp Thing's archenemy Anton Arcane refers to Ya-Ya, the ghost of an African-American musician, as a "minstrel".

* ''ComicBook/TheAvengers'': Longtime foe Eric Williams, more infamously known as The Grim Reaper, once reformed his "Lethal Legion" criminal organization in a revenge effort against the Vision and his brother Simon (a.k.a. Wonder Man). Counted among them was the [[ComicBook/BlackPanther Wakandan]] M'Baku, also known as the Man-Ape. In an early issue of ''ComicBook/WestCoastAvengers'', the Reaper violently lashed out at M'Baku, calling him a "black savage", and telling him to "get his stinking gorilla costume out of here!", punctuating his invective with a blast from his energy scythe. What sparked this raging outburst? Man-Ape coming to ''[[DisproportionateRetribution deliver a status report]]''. Ironically, Williams' lover Nekra, an albino, but nevertheless African American by birth woman, was right by his side and witnessed the entire incident. The Reaper handwaved the seeming hypocrisy by stating that Nekra's pure white skin made her Caucasian in his eyes, and that seemed to satisfy her. But the Reaper got his in the end when both Man-Ape and the Black Talon, another Legion member who was of Creole descent, abandoned Williams and his revenge quest during the climactic battle with the Avengers.

** This massively backfired on the Skull during the CrisisCrossover ''ComicBook/ActsOfVengeance''. [[Characters/MarvelComicsLoki Loki]] was trying to organize a big [[VillainTeamUp supervillain team-up]] to take down the superheroes once and for all. This sounds good on paper, but he proceeded to invite Skull to the group, who is [[HatedByAll despised by most other villains]]. This put the Red Skull (who is, again, a Nazi) in the same room as [[Characters/MarvelComicsMagneto Magneto]] (a Jewish Holocaust survivor), Characters/DoctorDoom (of Romani descent and deeply hates bigotry), [[ComicBook/IronMan the Mandarin]] (Chinese), [[Characters/MarvelComicsTheKingpin the Kingpin]] (a lover of capitalism who also hates bigotry), and [[ComicBook/FantasticFour the Wizard]] (who doesn't have any real ideology [[EvenEvilHasStandards but still didn't want anything to do with Skull]]). Needless to say, the day wasn't even over before the whole plan collapsed in on itself due to in-fighting. The whole thing ended with Magneto [[PayEvilUntoEvil burying Skull alive]].

*** In ''ComicBook/CaptainBritainAndMI13'', Dracula is depicted as a virulent anti-Muslim bigot, which Characters/DoctorDoom mocks him for -- Doom derides racism, but from a 'mystically created viral package' like Dracula, it's almost funny. May be justified if you identify Dracula with the historical [[UsefulNotes/VladTheImpaler Vlad III Dracula]], who fought many wars against the Ottoman Empire. (In the Franchise/MarvelUniverse, this is explicitly the case.)

** Writers who don't like presenting Characters/DoctorDoom as a NobleDemon will [[DependingOnTheWriter sometimes]] make him more unsympathetic by having him voice racist and sexist sentiments. This is at odds with Doom's more frequent characterization as having meritocratic views (believing not that all people are equal, but that the elite can come from any background), and specifically loathing ethnic bigotry on account of his Roma ancestry -- or else being [[HatesEveryoneEqually equally contemptuous of everyone else]] on account of his ego. Fans [[FanonDiscontinuity tend to conclude]] that bigoted Dooms were [[ActuallyADoombot actually malfunctioning Doombots]].

* Implied with Mr. Mxyzptlk's son Mickey Mxyzptlk in ''ComicBook/DarkCrisis: World Without ComicBook/YoungJustice''. He's a reactionary StrawFan character, who not only wants Bart Allen, Conner Kent and Tim Drake to be recognised as ''the'' teen heroes again, but he wants them to act ''exactly'' the way they did in the nineties. At one point, his fake Batman tells Tim that he's "supposed" to be with Cassie Sandsmark (who was once his main love interest), and [[ClosetKey Bernard Dowd]] (his boyfriend established after he came out as bisexual) is just a phase, and at another he rants about all the new characters he doesn't care about and claims have no right to be here, all of them being some minority (including the lesbian Batwoman Katherine Kane, the Hispanic Wonder Girl Yara Flor, the Africa-American Batman Jace Fox and the Golden Age Green Lantern Alan Scott, who was established to be gay like his son Obsidian and his ''ComicBook/Earth2'' counterpart at the time). In addition, he demonstrates a flagrantly misogynist attitude towards Cassie Sandsmark.

** When first introduced, the Red Skull was indeed a Nazi agent, but was written more as an "enemy of America" than a "Nazi" per se. Over time, however, he has been given more and more racist and eugenic dialogue, making him the rare Marvel villain who became ''less'' sympathetic over time. This trend peaked in the [[UsefulNotes/TheDarkAgeOfComicBooks late 1980s]], when he was portrayed as a [[CorruptCorporateExecutive lunatic anarcho-capitalist]] who was explicitly ''too evil'' for the Nazis, and then reversed somewhat; now, he is (for the most part) "merely" a Nazi again.

** Dating back to UsefulNotes/TheGoldenAgeOfComicBooks, [[DepravedDwarf Doctor Psycho]] was considered insanely misogynistic even when he was introduced, and unlike other venerable foes of Wonder Woman, his motivation hasn't really changed. He became a villain because he hates women, and though he doesn't shy away from harming men, either, he makes it a point of interest to MindRape, literally rape, torture, terrorize, enslave or [[ImAHumanitarian eat]] any woman who catches his attention.

** The ''ComicBook/UltimateXMen'' version of Magneto displayed, in addition to FantasticRacism, ableism (calling Professor Xavier a "spastic", a rather charged word in the UK), homophobia (calling Quicksilver "effeminate"), and sexism (calling Polaris a "harlot" -- though Polaris wasn't much better in this regard as it was in response to her going the PoliticallyIncorrectHero route by calling his codename "retarded").

* ''ComicBook/TheTombOfDracula'':
** Dracula himself is more than a bit of a sexist. He frequently compares men that he views as wimpy or spineless to women. Frank Drake was often the target of such insults. He also refers to ComicBook/{{Blade}} as a "savage" upon their first meeting, and addresses Blade as "Black" instead of by his name on some occasions. In Dracula's own defense, he [[WorthyOpponent has a healthy respect for Blade]] and in a later series compares him to a Moor General who he once fought -- 'Moor' being another of those outdated terms to refer to non-Caucasians that appear racist to modern readers.

May be justified if you identify Dracula with the historical [[UsefulNotes/VladTheImpaler Vlad III Dracula]], who fought many wars against the Ottoman Empire. (In the Franchise/MarvelUniverse, this is explicitly the case.)
** Deacon Frost, the man who bit ComicBook/{{Blade}}'s mother and caused Blade himself to become a {{dhampyr}} as a result, once expresses the belief if he hadn't bit Blade's mom, Blade himself would likely be dead or in jail. A doppelganger at one point even dons a Confederate uniform.

* In ''ComicBook/{{Miracleman}}'', Johnny Bates, after gruesomely murdering or mutilating half the population of London, still takes a second to KickTheDog by calling the African-American pyrokinetic hero Huey Moon a "nigger".

* ''ComicBook/AnimalMan'': "Hour of the Beast" has Mr. Van de Voort, a racist who takes sadistic pleasure in tormenting Dominic Mndawe after holding him prisoner.

* Implied with Mr. Mxyzptlk's son Mickey Mxyzptlk in ''ComicBook/DarkCrisis: World Without ComicBook/YoungJustice''. He's a reactionary StrawFan character, who not only wants Bart Allen, Conner Kent and Tim Drake to be recognised as ''the'' teen heroes again, but he wants them to act ''exactly'' the way they did in the nineties.

** Creator/KurtBusiek's story "Syndicate Rules" (dealing with the aftermath of ''ComicBook/JLAAvengers'') had the Crime Syndicate's Flash counterpart Johnny Quick twice demonstrate that he is a racist. The first time, before the CSA's siege on Qward and Krona destroying the antimatter universe, Johnny Quick boasted about defeating a Chinese rebellion and was in the middle of calling the people "yellow" when Owlman started beating the crap out of him (as he'd been funding the rebellion to ultimately relieve the CSA's boredom). The second time, after the universe is restored with some changes, Quick called Power Ring, who was {{Race Lift}}ed into a John Stewart counterpart by what happened, "[[{{Pun}} Black Power Ring]]", much to Power Ring's chagrin.

* During Creator/KurtBusiek's ''ComicBook/JLA1997'' story "Syndicate Rules" (dealing with the aftermath of ''ComicBook/JLAAvengers''), the Crime Syndicate's Johnny Quick twice displays racism. The first time, before the CSA's siege on Qward and Krona destroying the antimatter universe, Johnny Quick boasted about defeating a Chinese rebellion and was in the middle of calling the people "yellow" when Owlman started beating the crap out of him (as he'd been funding the rebellion to ultimately relieve the CSA's boredom).

* In ''ComicBook/Champions2016'', the team ends up dealing with a small-town sheriff who was heavily bigoted and (unknown to most people) was actually inspiring various hate crimes by causing them. [[ComicBook/TheUnbelievableGwenpool Gwenpool]] drops in and attempts to reveal that there's no way someone could be this bigoted without supervillain assistance because this is a comic book, but [[ComicBook/MsMarvel2014 Kamala Khan]] attempts to get through the girl's skull that people can be bigoted without supervillain influence.

* Implied with Mr. Mxyzptlk's son Mickey Mxyzptlk in ''Comicbook/DarkCrisis: World Without Comicbook/YoungJustice''. He's a reactionary StrawFan character, who not only wants Bart Allen, Conner Kent and Tim Drake to be recognised as ''the'' teen heroes again, but he wants them to act ''exactly'' the way they did in the nineties. At one point, his fake Batman tells Tim that he's "supposed" to be with Cassie Sandsmark (who was once his main love interest), and [[ClosetKey Bernard Dowd]] (his boyfriend established after he came out as bisexual) is just a phase, and at another he rants about all the new characters he doesn't care about and claims have no right to be here, all of them being some minority (including the lesbian Batwoman Katherine Kane, the Hispanic Wonder Girl Yara Flor, the Africa-American Batman Jace Fox and the Golden Age Green Lantern Alan Scott, who was established to be gay like his son Obsidian and his ''ComicBook/Earth2'' counterpart at the time).

* ''ComicBook/TomStrong'': Ingrid Weiss is an immortal Nazi, so it's a given she'd be a bigoted enemy of Tom Strong's, but she's especially rotten because she won't stop making racist statements about Tom's dark-skinned wife Dhalua.

* Implied with Mr. Mxyzptlk's son Mickey Mxyzptlk in ''Comicbook/DarkCrisis: World Without Comicbook/YoungJustice''. He's a reactionary StrawFan character, who not only wants Bart Allen, Conner Kent and Tim Drake to be recognised as ''the'' teen heroes again, but he wants them to act ''exactly'' the way they did in the nineties. At one point, his fake Batman tells Tim that he's "supposed" to be with Cassie Sandsmark (who was once his main love interest), and [[ClosetKey Bernard Dowd]] (his boyfriend established after he came out as bisexual) is just a phase, and at another he rants about all the new characters he doesn't care about and claims have no right to be here, all of them being some minority (including the lesbian Batwoman Katherine Kane, the Hispanic Wonder Girl Yara Flors, the Africa-American Batman Jace Fox and the Golden Age Green Lantern Alan Scott, who was established to be gay like his son Obsidian and his ''ComicBook/Earth2'' counterpart at the time).

At one point, his fake Batman tells Tim that he's "supposed" to be with Cassie, and [[ClosetKey Bernard]] is just a phase, and at another he rants about all the new characters he doesn't care about -- and every single one pictured is an AffirmativeActionLegacy.

** Earthpride is a hate group of former white supremacists who've extended their bigotry to aliens.

** If somebody says anything even remotely homophobic in [[Characters/TheAuthorityMidnighter Midnighter]]'s comic book series, they're evil. Period.
** The sole exception is Kev, who [[CharacterDevelopment in the end admits to himself]] that he repeats homophobic slurs because he got his idea how tough guys should act from TV and movies.

** The G7 version of the Authority gives us the Colonel, who fits this trope to a T. He's a repugnant misogynistic asshole and damn proud of it, plus he attempts to rape his teammate Rush when she makes it clear that she isn't attracted to men. And then there's Last Call, a reactionary homophobe who at one point severely beats a captured and depowered Apollo while taunting him over the unlikelihood that Midnighter survived Seth's attack on the Authority.
** The Renegade Doctor downplays the fact that he killed 12 million people the last time he had his powers by dismissing that most of his victims were "Sambos", addresses Apollo and Midnighter using homophobic slurs and goes back in time to sexually assault the Engineer when she was a teenager -- and the first thing he does when he gets back is to engage in a PostRapeTaunt.
** A CorruptedCharacterCopy of Nick Fury who Jack Hawksmoor deals with during Creator/MarkMillar's first arc is openly and proudly racist and xenophobic.
-->'''Soldier''': Feels kinda weird torching civilians.\\
'''Nick Fury Expy''': Civilians are civilized, soldier. These people are French. As much as I hate Mexicans, Asians and Blacks, no racial group boils my blood more than these sweaty, horse-eating yahoos.

** ''Batman/Houdini: The Devil's Workshop'': Montenegro is shown to be a misogynist and he addresses Harry Houdini (who is Jewish) using the K-word.
** ''ComicBook/BatmanDarkAllegiances'': [[AdaptationNameChange Caldecott Pewtie, Milton Biggsley and Reverend Jones (this continuity's versions of Two-Face, Penguin and the Joker)]] are affiliated with the White Legion, a stand-in for the Ku Klux Klan.

** Manchester Black made racist remarks towards people of African and Korean descent in the original "ComicBook/WhatsSoFunnyAboutTruthJusticeAndTheAmericanWay". His breakdown, also kept for ''WesternAnimation/SupermanVsTheElite'', involved calling Superman a homophobic slur after [[spoiler:Superman reveals that his BewareTheSuperman moment was merely an act and how he truly beat the Elite without resorting to their own methods]].

** ''ComicBook/SupermanSmashesTheKlan'', based on an episode of the 1940s ''Radio/TheAdventuresOfSuperman'', has Superman protecting an Asian-American family from the [[UsefulNotes/KuKluxKlan KKK]].
*** Of particular note is a case of division between two Klan leaders over ''what to be politically incorrect about.'' [[spoiler:Dr. Wilson, the leader of the Klan, freely admits that [[StrawHypocrite his racist rhetoric is a bunch of hogwash]] to scam dumb racists into paying hefty membership fees and buying merchandise so he can [[OnlyInItForTheMoney fleece them]]. He gloats that the world is divided by power, and that racism is just a smokescreen that powerful men like him use to control people beneath him. In other words, he's classist. Unfortunately, his [[TheHeavy right-hand man]] is a believer in One Nation, One Religion, One Race, and ''immediately'' kills him for being a "traitor to the cause."]]

* ''ComicBook/TomStrong:'' Ingrid Weiss is an immortal Nazi, so it's a given she'd be a bigoted enemy of Tom Strong's, but she's especially rotten because she won't stop making racist statements about Tom's dark-skinned wife Dhalua.
* In ''ComicBook/TheTombOfDracula'':
** Dracula himself was more than a bit of a sexist. He frequently compares men that he views as wimpy or spineless to women. Frank Drake was often the target of such insults. He also referred to ComicBook/{{Blade}} as a "savage" upon their first meeting. On some occasions, he would address Blade as "Black" instead of by his name.

Moor being another of those outdated terms to refer to non-Caucasians that appear racist to modern readers.

* ''ComicBook/TransformersMoreThanMeetsTheEye'' has [[spoiler:Chief Justice Tyrest]] and Star Saber, who both believe Transformers that were [[BizarreAlienReproduction constructed cold]] are "predisposed to sin" and thus all evil. While Star Saber is just a straight-up bigot, [[spoiler:Tyrest]] at least has the excuse of having been driven insane prior to the events of the comic. [[spoiler: Their EvilPlan is to use a device called the Universal Killswitch to kill every single cold-constructed Transformer in the galaxy (which is about half of the population). It almost succeeds but thankfully the crew stops it]].

* ''ComicBook/LesTuniquesBleues'': Constantly. It's an anti-war series and general satire set in UsefulNotes/TheAmericanCivilWar, which relentlessly lampoons the absurdities of military life and society in general (often with none-too-subtle TakeThat moments implied for modern society). As such, villains like these are common: soldiers on frontier outposts prejudiced against Indians, Confederate soldiers prejudiced against blacks, ''Union'' soldiers prejudiced against blacks, Protestant settlers prejudiced against Mormons, and so forth. It's notable, however, that the villains are not unique in their prejudices; those are generally shown as ubiquitous in society, with the villains being at most an extreme example of them. Even Chesterfield, one of the two protagonists, often falls prey to them (Blutch much less so, but that's mostly due to his extreme cynicism towards the entire world).
* ''ComicBook/WonderWoman''':

** Captain Boomerang made a number of racist and sexist remarks during his time on ''ComicBook/SuicideSquad''. Shortly after [[DeathIsCheap his death]] in ''ComicBook/IdentityCrisis'', it was implied he also made a number of homophobic remarks to the openly gay Pied Piper.
