Hero with an F in Good	comment	The Minion with an F in Evil became a Punch-Clock Villain because Evil is Cool, but his Pet the Dog personality foils his bosses' plans. The Hero with an F in Good is also (usually) a nice person deep down, and sometimes daydreams of becoming one of The Hero's True Companions, or being the hero by himself; but serious character flaws make it a poor career goal. He doesn't have a problem with doing heroic things, but he does have trouble when it comes to other aspects of being good. Typical Characteristics: The Heroes with an F in Good have redeeming qualities that make part of them want to be heroes out of a desire to do good or the right thing; in other words, Jerks With Hearts Of Gold rather than Jerkasses. They may also be close to Jerkass Woobies. These characters almost invariably have a checkered or mysterious past, or a bad reputation, which makes it difficult for authorities and other heroes to trust them. Perhaps the character was once a villain or Noble Demon who has more recently done a Heel–Face Turn. They often find that Being Good Sucks and just obeying the law and community decency standards can be difficult or trying at best. If the characters have recently done a Heel–Face Turn, because Evil Cannot Comprehend Good, "behaving themselves" is new to them, and it's hard to unlearn the old ways. Sometimes the characters Want A Prize For Basic Decency. The Heroes with an F in Good tend to get themselves kicked out of the Justice League of America, Rebel Alliance, etc. for 'minor' offenses (theft, destruction of property, etc.). This character differs from other related tropes as follows: Misunderstood Loner with a Heart of Gold: Both are genuinely well-intentioned characters with a negative reputation, but only the Hero with an F in Good deserves it. Designated Hero: Both want to be seen as the Ideal Hero, but while the Hero with an F in Good honestly tries and fails, the Designated Hero does not care and still gets away with laziness. Furthermore, the Designated Hero's flaws are obvious only to the audience, whereas the Hero with an F in Good's flaws are noticed by the other characters. The former character type is subjective, while the latter character type is objective. Knight Templar: Has a vision of "Good" that is fanatical and not compatible with actual good guys. Unlikely to want to be with the good guys unless it is as a Psycho Supporter. Mr. Vice Guy: both are hard to approach at first because of being flawed, yet have good hearts. Unlike the Mr. Vice Guy, however, the Heroes with an F in Good are never excused for their flaws as they directly interfere with their status as a hero. Noble Demon: while the Noble Demons cultivate their negative reputation, the Heroes with an F in Good dislike their negative reputation. However, if the former character types do a Heel–Face Turn and realize they do not know a thing about being a hero, they can become the latter character type. Punch-Clock Villain: neither character type is inherently malevolent; villainy is just a job. However, the Hero with an F in Good usually hates this job and does it because it is the only one that sufficiently pays the bills. Villain Ball Magnet: it isn't the universe that paints the Heroes with an F in Good as villains, it is their own flaws. Allowing them entry into a Super Hero organization, etc. may cause serious problems for the group's reputation, cohesiveness, etc., so instead they sometimes become Flanderized into recurring Ineffectual Sympathetic Villains who the heroes can still count on when the Big Bad crosses the Moral Event Horizon because Everyone Has Standards. Compare The Team Wannabe, Underling with an F in PR and Half-Baked Niceness. Contrast Nominal Hero and Token Evil Teammate.

Hero with an F in Good / int_10401be7	comment	In Season 2 of Batman: The Telltale Series, depending on your choices, you can see The Joker of all people become a vigilante like Batman, instead of a criminal. Unfortunately, because of his emotional instability and general Ax-Craziness, he eventually devolves into this, especially as he struggles with Batman's biggest rule. When he finally snaps, Batman has to take him down, after which he will tearfully admit that he just isn't cut out to be a hero. Thankfully, if you tell him that his friendship did genuinely mean something to you and you weren't just using him to infiltrate the Pact, it ends on a bittersweet note in the Post-Credits Scene where John is locked in Arkham Asylum and Bruce comes to visit him, showing that Bruce still believes in him and there's hope for him to be a good person yet.

Hero with an F in Good / int_12fd5db0	comment	The titular character Megamind accidentally turns an ordinary cameraman named Hal Stewart into Titan so he can have a hero to fight. Unfortunately, what he didn't know was that Hal has a crush on his co-worker Roxanne Richie to almost stalker levels and he sees the powers as a way to finally be with her. When she justifiably tells him that they will never be together, he throws a temper tantrum and decides to become a villain instead. And when he finds out Megamind was the one who orchestrated everything, he tries to kill him.

That's right, not only did he get an F in good, but God gave him a cheat sheet, and he's still only getting Cs and Ds. The Hal Jordan version of the Spectre is a lot less vengeful but makes up for it by being incompetent, such as the time he restored Wally West's secret identity by making everyone in the world forget who the Flash was. Including Wally.

Hero with an F in Good / int_207208a9	comment	This was a persistent problem with Magneto's first Heel–Face Turn in the 1980s. THE Big Bad of the entire franchise, making way for the new villains by joining up with the heroes, on a permanent basis? Unprecedented in American Comic Books. That Big Bad going from a Magnificent Bastard who had ham as a side dish with every appearance to a whimpering mess who couldn't make a decision to save his life and deferred to the team leader without even acting as a Hypercompetent Sidekick, but rather just another — or even an underpowered and inexperienced — member of the team? Not so good. Thankfully, his Hazy-Feel Turn during the 2010s was much better handled.

Hero with an F in Good / int_23d2ea71	comment	Donkey Kong Country: In the episodes "Get a Life, Don't Save One!" and "Bluster the Benevolent," Bluster Kong tries to legitimately help DK and his fellow apes, but his attempts are so destructive (not to mention annoying and overblown) that We Want Our Jerk Back! ensues. In one episode, Bluster successfully steals the Crystal Coconut and loses it. He then proceeds to work against DK and Diddy to retrieve it because he wants to be the hero, but just hands it over when asked by Klump out of fear. When it comes down to it, Bluster's selfishness and cowardice overpower any good he's attempting to do. Also, Klump in "Klump's Lumps"; when allowed to stay with the apes after being fired by King K.Rool, proves to be just as big a bungler when it comes to doing them good as he was helping K.Rool's schemes.

Hero with an F in Good / int_30a5ebfd	comment	Naruto: Itachi Uchiha might not be what he appeared to be at the outset, but there's still the fact calling him "one of the good guys" is quite a stretch. While Itachi killed the Uchiha family to prevent a devastating civil war (although wholesale genocide as a peacekeeping measure is rather fucked up, too) rather than simply as a way to test his own powers, he made some rather complicated decisions regarding sparing his little brother Sasuke; rather than simply kill him, Itachi decided to spare his life and try and make Sasuke hate him enough that he could commit Suicide by Cop later to turn Sasuke into a hero and let him live free of the shadow-conflict that consumed their family. Unfortunately, he did this by inflicting horrific Mind Rape upon Sasuke on the night of the massacre and later on, emotionally crippling Sasuke for the rest of his life, and Itachi's eventual suicide at Sasuke's hands was implied to be just as much for Konoha's sake and his own self-loathing as it was out of any affection for Sasuke. Unsurprisingly, a lifetime conditioned into obsessive hatred for his brother to the exclusion of all else means Sasuke goes completely off the deep end once Itachi's gone and Tobi gives him a slanted account of Itachi's life, but Itachi turns out to have had a plan for this; using Sasuke's erstwhile best friend Naruto as the delivery system, if Sasuke failed to become the hero Itachi wanted him to be, Itachi left behind a posthumous genjutsu that would brainwash Sasuke into protecting Konoha with his dead best friend's mind-controlling eye. While he is depicted as a man who made many sacrifices and tough choices, Itachi is still dangerously close to just being a Manipulative Bastard with an Omniscient Morality Licence. When he was revived via Edo Tensei, he eventually acknowledged that he was wrong, and realized that the most he could do was hope Naruto would fix everything. Danzo is an even worse example, being the guy who influenced Itachi; he's a Well-Intentioned Extremist whose methods can be condensed into "If it's dangerous to the Leaf, destroy it" and "If it can be useful to me, force it under my control". Unsurprisingly, these coldhearted policies have given Konoha more enemies than allies, as basically every flashback involving Danzo shows that his actions are connected to the Start of Darkness for such villains like Pain and Kabuto. And Danzo's definition of "Village" goes only as far as what he controls directly; everyone else is "Acceptable losses". When he goes to an international summit as substitute Hokage, he causes an incident getting caught trying to hypnotize the meeting moderator.

There's a reason there's a death sentence over her head if she gets out of line. Her first use of her mind magic is understandable; she didn't know about the laws of magic and was trying to get her pregnant friend off drugs. Problem is, she screwed up and permanently damaged her friend's boyfriend's mind. And even after Harry explains things and she gets the Doom of Damocles (basically, one shot and if she screws up, that's it for her and Harry), she still gets the temptation to use mind magic every so often. Black Magic is addictive; there's a reason the White Council executes all Warlocks unless a council member is willing to put their own neck on the line.

Hero with an F in Good / int_5496195c	comment	In The Vigilante Boss and His Failed Retirement Plan this comes to bite Bakugo (again) in the ass even harder than in canon and the above example when he takes U.A.'s admission test because the teachers in charge of supervising it notice that while he got a near-perfect Villain Point score, he has absolutely zero Rescue Points. It is then mentioned that everybody else who has ever scored high on the test obtained at least a single Rescue Point, even if accidentally, by stopping to help some fellow test student that was going to get hurt out of basic decency. This raises a red flag, because they now believe that Katsuki gives absolutely zero shits about the rest of the world if it's not directly affecting him, so they decide to do some additional background research and, once they find his history as a bully, they refuse to enroll him because they fear he will be a disruptive student.

Being the Token Evil Teammate, he finds a way to do what the rest of the party expects of him, but in the most evil — usually violent — way possible. Elan plays the trope straight, sometimes because he's The Ditz (to the point at which Roy briefly abandons him to his fate) and sometimes because he's too Genre Savvy.

She led a successful coup d'etat against the brutally repressive corporatist oligarchy known as the Syndicate Worlds in the first chapter of Volume 1 and then spent the rest of the book trying very hard to stop herself behaving like a brutally repressive oligarch out of sheer force of habit, and not always succeeding. Her character arc throughout the rest of the trilogy is about bringing that F up to a passing grade and overcoming some of her trust issues in the process.

Last but not least, she subjected an entire town to an And I Must Scream situation by accident.

Hero with an F in Good / int_6c1d09b4	comment	Fallout 4: Token Evil Teammate Strong is a super mutant who learned about "the milk of human kindness" and wants to be a better person. Unfortunately, compared to super mutant companions from previous Fallout games, he sucks at it because he's too stupid to realize that cannibalism and random acts of murder aren't acceptable in most human company. It doesn't help that he's also too stupid to understand metaphors and thinks the milk of human kindness is an actual drink that will turn him into a good person once consumed, so he makes no effort to actually better himself beyond searching for it. Nonetheless, he does tend to approve of helping people and tends to be upset at selfish options, so there's that. The Institute is the game's Big Bad and is a faction of Stupid Evil Well-Intentioned Extremist Mad Scientists who claim to want to forge a better future for The Commonwealth... except they're the ones who destabilized the region in the first place. They habitually Kill and Replace people with Ridiculously Human Robots while sending the less human ones to raze towns for parts, destroyed the attempt to form a regional government and killed all the representatives present for no reason, and created the Always Chaotic Evil Super Mutants (again, for no reason) before unleashing them on the surface once they got bored of them. They spend the entirety of the game claiming to have humanity's best interests at heart, but for the entirety of their postwar history acted as nothing more than a detriment.

Hero with an F in Good / int_72262aee	comment	Avatar: The Last Airbender: Zuko yells "Why am I so bad at being good?" after he accidentally burns Toph, but he may not fit the trope. Zuko did waver between bad and good, but it was more a case of wavering between My Country, Right or Wrong and Defector from Decadence than wavering between Anti-Villain and Anti-Hero. Probably helps that he was pretty ineffective as a villain too. In the episode "Zuko Alone", he fits the bill better than usual, though. He's just beginning to find himself in that episode and gets reluctantly drawn into a conflict with some corrupt Earth Kingdom soldiers that are abusing their position in a small village. He struggles with not wanting to get involved (and of course hiding that he is a firebender), but in the end, saves the day. When he tells the earthbender EXACTLY WHO just beat his ass, turns sour when the townsfolk (including the little boy he just saved) no longer want anything to do with him after seeing his firebending. On top of that, the reason the boy was in trouble at all was that Zuko gave the child his own dagger as a parting gift and the boy threatened a guard with it.

Hero with an F in Good / int_72ccaa5b	comment	Henchgirl: Mary Posa's attempts at heroism or letting her conscience rule her actions end up backfiring spectacularly. Her leaking the orphanage corruption scheme with Mannequin prompts the Butterfly Gang to smash him to pieces, forcing her to put him back together....badly. He's injured, bleeding, and in pain for the rest of the series. Mary trying to save her parents from Gunpowder in Issue 9 ends up with Mary blowing Gunpowder to smithereens, showering the crowd in the ballroom with Ludicrous Gibs. Mary doesn't help matters by beating up and Butterfly Zapping a whole SWAT team until she's finally arrested. Mary going back in time in Issue 10 to become a better person. Mary does become a near-perfect child – using her adult knowledge in elementary school to be thought of as gifted, befriending the new kid, putting a bully in her place, being kind to her little sister, tipping off her superhero parents to villains' schemer, and becoming famous as Psychic Tot. Which unravels disastrously when the time travel wears off and a clueless seven-year-old Mary is exposed as a fraud, embarrassing her parents and forcing them to leave town. Fred shows poor use of his powers; his astral projection is useless in confronting villains; Mary has to save him from robbers in Issue 1. He does use his powers to escape twice, but he ends up being broken to pieces, but put back together by Mary in Issue 5, then broken permanently in Issue 11. However, Tina, Sue, and Consuelo help him use his powers for surveillance effectively in Issue 11. Consuelo rushes recklessly into battle against villains....and gets curb-stomped by Coco in Issue 4 and put in the hospital by Mary in Issue 6. But she does help the police capture Mary in Issue 9, bloodies Coco in Issue 10, and is effective in the lab raid in Issue 11. Amelia recklessly uses magic once she gets to Crepe City in Issue 8. While it's effective on common criminals, Roadmeister, and in a fight against Mary, she naively walks into Coco and Mary's trap in Issue 9, then uses her most powerful magic artifact as a death ray, killing Coco in cold blood, trying to kill Mary, wounding Paige, smashing Fred's body, and killing 11 homeless people and an actor researching being a hobo who gets caught in the shoehorn factory collapse. Perhaps use your magic to bind Coco and Mary and turn them over to the police?

He'll occasionally go through periods of conquering his demons enough to be a worthy hero, such as leading the Mighty Avengers team who, in-universe, nearly overshadowed Norman Osborn's Dark Avengers. However, just as often Hank falls into old habits and his tendency to screw up things flares up. Not helping matters is that no one, in-universe or out, is ever going to forget the wife-slapping incident, which exacerbates Hank's belief that he's a No-Respect Guy and has to do something big to fix everything. And, of course, there's creating Ultron. It's something he'll likely regret for the rest of his life.

While the Heterodyne Boys were the first truly good Heterodynes, there is some evidence that their father, Saturnus Heterodyne, was trying to be good in order to impress his wife — he was just terrible at it. For example, during the Year of Three Winters, he kept the town from freezing to death by building a nice big bonfire... out of the town hall. The Corbettite monks are a religious order who provide free transportation everywhere and are insistent about always being on time. Saturnus built them a sapient train that doesn't need rails and can even build more of itself at any time... except it's a glutton that hates schedules.

Rachel's the most powerful example, but really, they all get this way after a while, particularly Marco and Jake. It's one of the running themes of the series — and the great thing about a series that's 54 books longnote 62 if you count the Megamorphs and Chronicles side-stories is that it happens so slowly and gradually that there's never really a moral event horizon. It just happens. One of the themes is that War Is Hell and you become less... you... as time goes on, one I Did What I Had to Do moment at a time. Worse, (well, best in terms of writing, worst in terms of what it's like to live in that world) it's hard to say that any of the things they ended up doing were unnecessary.

Best seen in season 3, where Matt's first two fights with Dex end up being the result of these. Matt and Karen's effort to bring in Jasper Evans to speak to being paid by Wilson Fisk to shank Fisk culminates in Fisk sending Dex to the Bulletin, with the end result being a bunch of Karen's coworkers being killed, Ellison hospitalized, Jasper being executed with Karen's gun, Matt and Foggy both being wounded, and Matt's reputation being disgraced due to Dex impersonating him. Karen's response to this attack is to visit Fisk in his penthouse and try to provoke Fisk into attacking her by revealing how she killed his best friend James Wesley, which culminates in Fisk putting a hit on her, sending Dex to the church where she hides, and Father Lantom being killed trying to protect Karen.

Hero with an F in Good / int_bdbcdadf	comment	Neither a Bird nor a Plane, it's Deku!: As shown in the anime folder above, Katsuki Bakugo remains this way in this story. It actually bites him in the ass much earlier than in canon, since while he scored the highest Villain Point count in the UA entry exam, his complete lack of Rescue Points led him to be knocked down to the bottom of the Top 10 ranking by Izuku and "eight random nobodies", as he puts it. His explosive temper and abrasiveness make it hard to believe that he could ever be saving people and almost nobody wants to approach him. Shouto Todoroki is a less obvious example, but also arguably a worse one. On top of being smug, cold, and distant, he's insistent on doing everything his way and brushes aside attempts to compromise or make friends. He also uses his powers to vent, causing property damage in the process, with no signs of remorse or reflection. It's telling when Bakugou of all people compares him to Two-Face, an outright supervillain. This reaches its logical apex at the USJ incident when he continues the fight Nomu despite it being clearly out of his league and refuses Izuku's attempts to extract him, to the point of outright attacking him. His actions cause Izuku to be severely injured, which the rest of the class blame on him, and gets him suspended on top of that. And when he gets back, he's completely unapologetic about nearly getting Izuku killed and even embarrassed him by spreading the rumor that he's All Might's son — which is something he just theorized by sheer Insane Troll Logic.

He tries his hardest to be The Paragon but his insane Misery Builds Character ideology frequently causes him to play right into Monokuma's hands. In the very first case it's revealed that he attempted to murder the first victim but was beaten to it by the real killer who he manipulated into doing it, and he spends the entire rest of the game offering to help the others plan murders (which nobody takes him up on). Near the end of the game, he pulls a Thanatos Gambit in the hopes of killing everyone but the "traitor", but only ends up "killing" the only innocent member of the group shortly before it's revealed that had his plan worked it would've led to the Junko AI taking over everyone's bodies and destroying the world again.

She is a genuinely sweet and nice pony, but she is thin-skinned and her aggressive awkwardness comes off as creepy or threatening. When she is rejected, she has a tendency to lash out with hordes of spiders and lightning storms, then desperately try to cover it by joking about getting the spiders in the net. She later decides to embrace Evil is Cool and Rule of Scary by playing herself up as a fake, pretend villain. Because life's no fun without a good scare. In Luna's case, she is genuinely good at heart and doesn't have trouble doing things that are good, but there is the slight problem that (a) she used to be the setting's version of the devil, and (b) she is scarily powerful, to the point that the weather changes with her mood, her hooves cause the ground beneath her to crack, and if she forgets herself and uses her real voice it will send you flying, and that is when she is actually trying to be friendly. She has got a B+ in good and an F at reassuring the populace until Twilight helps her with that. Starlight Glimmer tries to complete friendship lessons by brainwashing Twilight's friends into doing her bidding. Also Discord, who often means well, but constantly ends up letting his nature as an immature, sociopathic Master of Chaos get the better of him. Despite wanting to be good and have friends, he retains a rather sadistic sense of humor, a jealous and possessive attitude towards his closest friend (Fluttershy), and a nasty temper. This does not help his case. Then there is his well-intentioned but misguided actions in Season 9 regarding the Legion of Doom, namely that he organized it in the first place, under the alias of Grogor. Discord saw that Twilight needed a confidence boost, and decided the best way to accomplish this was to break several previous villains out of prison so the Mane Six could defeat them once and for all. Unfortunately, he fails to keep a close eye on them, allowing the villains to steal his chaos magic and expose the ruse, leading to Equestria almost getting destroyed in a Near-Villain Victory.

Hero with an F in Good / int_c43df4d8	comment	Doctor Who: The First Doctor is this for most of the first season. He grows out of being the Token Evil Teammate after his first story (where he abducts two schoolteachers, dumps them in the Stone Age and tries to bash a man's brains out with a rock because he might slow him down) but even in "The Daleks", where he takes a more heroic role and uses his brains to defeat a bunch of horrible racist tanks, he deliberately sabotages his own TARDIS to persuade the teachers to explore a ruined city with him and expects them to forgive him for it once he admits it. In "The Aztecs", he does his best to save the other travellers from the results of Barbara's meddling but still gives a warrior a sleeping drug to use to cheat in a fight, only deciding this might have been wrong when he finds out the opponent is Ian. He negotiates peace between two warring races, ousts a corrupt politician, and gets proper treatment for a victim of Mind Rape in "The Sensorites", but still ends the story by attempting to dump Ian in the middle of nowhere just because Ian made a sarcastic comment about his driving skills. It's not really until "The Dalek Invasion of Earth" when he declares himself "a protector of Earth" while yelling at a Dalek, that he graduates to hero status.

What makes him a "hero" is that though he is genuinely Ax-Crazy and lives to tear people to shreds simply for the joy of it, he has no interest in killing those who cannot defend themselves, finds children to be amusing distractions (especially since those feelings are usually returned), and treats those that do kill the defenseless as animals.

Hero with an F in Good / int_d709b969	comment	Elric Womanslayer from The Elric Saga wishes to turn his kingdom of Melnibonea and its cruel, hedonistic inhuman inhabitants away from its indulgences and usher in a new age of Enlightenment, with Melnibonea becoming a byword for justice. And to his credit, Elric is idealistic and concerned with morality (which he alone of his people understands - because he's the only one that reads much beyond spell books, exotic art and whatever else a Melnibonean is interested in) plus he's one of a tiny handful of Melniboneans who find torture to be distasteful. Unfortunately, he's got the Melnibonean trait of being cruel when angered and he's very vengeful. While most Melniboneans are indolent, Elric is rash and has resultant lapses in judgement such as installing his cousin Yrkoon, who earlier tried to kill him and lusts after his own sister Cymoril (Elric's fiance), as regent while Elric goes to learn more about morality. Elric's issues make him such a poor hero, that soon after he's revealed to be an avatar of the Eternal Champion and supposed to keep Chaos from wiping out the world - he fails and is reduced to just banishing Chaos and using an artifact that allows a new world to eventually be born. Sadly most other Eternal Champion avatars aren't much better.

Walker's orders are to simply find survivors, pull back, and report to his superiors, but when Walker blunders into a civil war between the rogue soldiers, he decides to get involved to try to fix things. He fails — first Walker kills US soldiers in self-defense when they mistake him for a CIA operative inciting the civil war, then he uses banned white phosphorus mortars on a camp between him and his next objective (inadvertently massacring civilians in the process), and when he decides to help the local (also possibly rogue) CIA team put an end to the conflict, they trick him into destroying the city's water supply, dooming thousands to die of thirst. In short, everyone would have been better off if Walker had simply turned around after the game's first chapter.

Hero with an F in Good / int_f06707a7	comment	The Chronicles of Thomas Covenant: Thomas Covenant becomes one of these in the first trilogy, after an act that many consider a rare "heroic" Moral Event Horizon. Covenant himself is sickened and guilty over what he's done and tries to make up for it where he can, but he generally just winds up making things worse. For example, he's trying to atone for his rape of the village girl Lena. He knows that Lena loves the Ranyhyn, so when he's able to command them at one point, he tells them to visit her annually. Problem is, they're still held by this command when the Big Bad is on the verge of destroying the world, and it keeps them from fleeing to safety. This nearly leads to the extinction of the Ranyhyn. It's worth noting that while Covenant does turn out to be a good person, (very) deep down, it takes three whole books for either him or the reader to admit it. In a very real sense, the entire point of the first trilogy is the psychological redemption of an utterly broken man into someone who can live with himself — the first book setting him up as someone the audience very likely hates as a reflection of how badly he already hates himself. And since the series very strongly straddles the line between reality and psychological allegory (and occasionally argues that both answers are valid), by definition saving the Land saves his own soul — and vice-versa. This entire framework continues into the second trilogy — except instead of being Covenant's redemption, it's the story of how Linden is ultimately tested and redeemed (and no, all the references in the series to alloys and forging aren't coincidental at all). It's hard to tell if the third (and final) tril... err, tetralogy follows the same pattern, and if so, precisely WHO is being redeemed. As of the third book, it's clearly not Joan, Jeremiah shouldn't need to be redeemed, and Roger shows absolutely no sign of showing an ounce of remorse or growth. If anything, the true harrowed character (if any) might be Lord Foul himself, "She Who Must Not Be Named", or the entire world of The Land as a whole.

He's not very good at it, generally wreaking so much incidental havoc that the peasantry desperately hopes he won't try to help them with their problems.

Hero with an F in Good / int_f088d641	comment	From Flander's Company, you have environmentalist superhero Recycle-Man. Before a full Face–Heel Turn, his "heroing" consisted in violently beating up innocent people just for not recycling properly. He admits himself that maybe he had been slightly lacking in... tact.

Hero with an F in Good / int_f2041376	comment	Charmed (1998): Cole Turner. While, admittedly, he is the victim of double standards, he does have trouble doing good, even during the times he isn't being treated unfairly. Often ends up solving problems using violence.

Hero with an F in Good / int_f3368832	comment	Buffyverse: Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Spike from seasons 5 and 6 frequently falls into this trope, often doing things not because it's right but because it's what Buffy would want. It starts back in season 4 when he's "forced" by his condition (he only could hurt monsters, but not humans) to fight alongside the good guys. Angel: In the comics, Illyria's road to heroism hits a few roadblocks. To prevent a demon from leeching off Jeremy's energy, she dutifully punches a hole clean through Jeremy's chest. Ouch. In the climax of "After the Fall", she reverts to her primordial demon form due to the machinations of Gunn and starts wrecking Los Angeles. The Senior Partners fix her so she returns to "normal".

Hero with an F in Good / int_fcf34eec	comment	Sōsuke from Full Metal Panic! on his worst days. He's mostly a good person at heart, but he's also a Child Soldier who was trained as an assassin by the KGB, brought up as a freedom fighter in "Khazakhstan", and was working as a freelance mercenary by the time he reached his teens. As such, he approaches every situation as a battlefield operation and is completely incapable of understanding civilian life, with the result that outside of actual combat situations he frequently does more harm than good with his disproportionate applications of violence.

Hero with an F in Good / int_fd314ec1	comment	Tsukasa, the titular Kamen Rider Decade, is a Jerk with a Heart of Gold at the best of times, but when he tries manipulating other people for the greater good, his rather extreme methods place him squarely in this trope.
