Seriously Good heroes are heroes that are largely on the very serious side in the way to go about their heroism, rather than being comedic or as enjoyable and loved as a Love Exalted. Instead, they have a very serious presence, act like your strict law enforcer, and are not silly nor played for laughs, lack humorous aspects, and whenever they do something entertaining, it is usually for an important purpose that needs to be done, not so much the other way around. They are particularly averse to acting playful and overly joyful; rather, they tend to act very solemn and pleasant.

Unlike their evil counterpart Game Changers, Seriously Good heroes do not darken the story and keep it lighthearted, regardless of origin. They are the opposite of Laughably Evil, and the Pure Good equivalent to Game Changers.

Samurai Jack, Ben, Qui-Gon Jinn, Monty Uno, Black Panther, Peeta Mellark, Soichiro Yagami, Optimus Prime, Cyno and James Gordon are prime examples of what a Seriously Good Pure Good should be (at least as far as PG heroes are concerned).

Comic Reliefs NEVER qualify due to the fact that those Pure Goods are meant to be much less serious than this category.

It is rare for a Love Exalted to qualify as Seriously Good due to how it's meant for characters who are as pleasant as possible. Seriously Goods don't always go this route given how they are too serious to be that enjoyable.

They can be in some cases if they have multiple serious moments along with a lot of moments where they're as enjoyable to be around as possible involving:

• Heroes who are designed to be adored, yet frequently come across as serious (e.g. Mark Evans, Atreyu, Maddie, John Coffey, Spider-Man from the Sam Raimi trilogy, Mr. Knight, and Qui-Gon Jinn).
• Heroes who use a serious persona to hide their more playful nature (e.g. All Might, Raine Whispers, Haku, Padmé Amidala, and Shanks).
• Heroes who initially start off as serious but slowly become more lighthearted (e.g. Buzz Lightyear, EVE, Anne Boonchuy, Rosalina, Amity Blight, Yoda, Momo Yaoyorozu, and Raya).
• Heroes who are serious when fighting against enemies while keep a light-hearted attitude towards family and friends (e.g. Jonathan Joestar, Angel Gabby).
• Heroes who are serious in one role and are more admirable in the other. (e.g. Ginger)
