Rorschach in The Watchmen
Ozymandius is an idealistic terrorist, and the normie Watchmen just give up because it's easer in the penultimate chapter then in the final chapter live normie idyllic suburban lives.
For as far as I can recall, Rorschach seems to be the start of this trend in popular media -- I'm sure it may have happened in a previous novel or film (I suppose an argument could be made for Albert Camus' Meursault in The Stranger, but I don't ever hear anyone talk about that in broader circles).
...But Moore is the first author I know of who went on record basically admitting he tried to make Rorschach a parody of Conservatism, but he just ended up making him based... and right.
Also Starship Troopers makes jingoistic fascism look cool.
