Being a man with an extra Y chromosome is a pretty common genetic variation (1 out of 1,000 humans assigned male at birth). Also known as Jacobs' syndrome, an XYY karyotype is currently believed to cause only two symptoms: above-average height and an increased tendency towards learning disabilities (although only around half of XYY males show diagnosable learning disorders). | |

In Soul, a character searches for an explanation as to why some men are predisposed to violence and murder. She considers that an extra Y chromosome may be involved, but this explanation doesn't pan out. | |

In Babel Fish, an X-Men fanfic, a character is revealed to have an extra Y chromosome. Beast explains that this may be responsible for lankiness and lower IQ, but states that the notion that XYY males are prone to becoming serial killers is nonsense. | |

At one point in the Dark Angel fanfic When the past comes ahaunting, a character is skeptical that a genetic abnormality could cause criminal behavior in an otherwise stable character, stating that only an extra Y chromosome could lead to violent behavior, but this would make them "a serial killer and quite asocial." | |

In the Doomwatch episode "By the Pricking of My Thumbs...", a teenager faces discrimination because he is XYY. The episode features a scientist who is convinced that having the extra Y chromosome predisposes a person to criminal behavior, but this position is meant to be seen as misguided. | |

The Terzi Medical Institute in The Cat o' Nine Tails is researching the supposed link between XYY chromosomes and criminality, while the murders happen around it. Everyone at the Institute has submitted blood samples to be tested for the research. The killer is one of the scientists, who tested positive for XYY chromosomes, revealing him as a sociopath. He first breaks into the Institute to hide this evidence, then murders a blackmailer, then keeps on killing to cover up his involvement in the ever-longer crime spree... | |

An episode of Forever Knight centers on a legend that a (female) vampire who mates with an XYY male "higher than high, under the light of the full moon" would become human. The XYY human does have extra violent tendencies. | |

The story "X-tra X" in Creepy Magazine #34 has a strange inverted example — here, violent behavior is linked to an extra X chromosome (known as Klinefelter syndrome), hence the title. To make matters more complex, the story focuses on a genetic mutant whose extra X chromosome is sensitive to the gravity of the full moon, producing a fluid that induces a physical transformation along with a violent psychological state — in short, making the man a werewolf. | |

In the Law & Order episode "Born Bad", a lawyer argues that her client should not be found guilty since his extra Y chromosome predisposes him to be violent. It goes horribly right; the client buys the argument so much that he begs to be jailed for life. It should be noted that the police and prosecution don't accept that theory, and a witness explicitly says that it's discredited. | |

This trope is averted in the Mystery Science Theater 3000 episode "Crash of the Moons". Although a joke is made about a character in the movie having an extra Y chromosome, it is more a reference to having a learning disability than being aggressive. | |

The CSI: Miami Season 5 finale episode "Born to Kill" references this trope. A couple knew that their son had this condition and constantly treated him with suspicion because of it. When their daughter accidentally kills their other daughter by pushing her down the stairs, she claimed he did it on purpose; this is what actually turned him violent. | |

In the Star Trek: The New Voyages 2 short story "The Procrustean Petard", the Enterprise crew is gender-flipped by an alien device which doesn't know how to deal with Half-Human Hybrid Mr. Spock, so it makes him XYY instead, making him see his two now female friends as weak and useless. | |

Played with in Criminal Minds when a killer claims that he's XYY, and that's why he kills. However, Rossi replies that the study linking that condition to criminal behaviour was debunked years ago. | |

In The Rockford Files: The Green Bottle by Stuart M. Kaminsky, a character states she believes that Jamie, as well as his father, carry an extra Y chromosome, based on their behavior. Jamie Hanson is a violent criminal, and his father is in prison for murder. This seems to be a common perception about Jamie, as another character also mentions that the criminal may have an extra Y chromosome. | |

Gravity Falls: In "Dipper vs. Manliness", Dipper meets a race of Manotaurs who are meant to embody all aspects of manliness, including extreme aggression. When Dipper suggests, in a bit of reverse psychology, that they aren't really manly, Testosteraur becomes enraged, claiming he has three Y chromosomes, pecs on his abs, and fists for nipples. | |
