Pure Good heroes who, while offered to be evil and turning from their heroic ways, or even have a corrupting quality (in which case they had subverted it), refused the offer and remained good no matter what. These heroes stick to their standards and were not tempted to do anything wicked that would harm others. They can also pretend to accept to trick the villains who try to corrupt them.

They are the complete opposite of heroes who are fallen and the heroic counterpart of Redemption Rejection.

For the sake of Pure Good, Redeemed Villains fall under this category by default since they choose to fully renounce their villainy. Since redeemed villains also fall under Wholly Reformed by default, many of the characters under this category are also under that one, even ones who aren't redeemed villains. However, not all Corruption Rejection characters are Wholly Reformed, as some were Pure Good from the start, with some exceptions.
