"Hoo-Boy! Now I've heard it all! And there was Genghis Khan. And Nero. Throughout history cheap punks have tried to make themselves leaders. But in spite of their titles, they were still cheap punks!"
-Green Arrow
A sort of "Heroic Rebel", these are characters who do believe in doing good and set out to do the right thing, but also believe that the law gets in the way of doing the right thing and as such deliberately operate outside of authority and are usually either contemptuous of or distrustful of authority. Chaotic Good characters will only work with authority figures if absolutely necessary and are much more comfortable working outside of it and fighting evil on their own terms. Basically they're more "screw the rules" as opposed to Neutral Good characters, who don't care if they happen to break the rules but also don't set out to do so. It's also worth mentioning that Chaotic Good characters tend to be just a bit more prone to ruthless behavior than other Good characters.

Source of the page quote and one of the absolute best examples of this around. Fitting given who he's based off of...
On that note we come to another text-book example of this. Robin Hood is the heroic outlaw who in most versions of his story continues to operate as an outlaw even after the rightful king returns precisely because Robin Hood believes that he does the most good when he's not being tied down by any kind of authority.
Like his fellow archers Robin Hood and Green Arrow Hawkeye's got little to no respect for authority, even when serving on either SHIELD or the Avengers. He's a loudmouth who doesn't like taking orders from others, and frequently butts heads with his peers and challenges Captain America and Iron Man's leadership.
Another excellent example of this, being a man who almost never plays by anyone's rules and usually grumbles a lot whenever he does. Definitely a loose cannon, but one who nevertheless desires to do good.
Well given that she's a member of the Chaotic Good organization X-Force AND Wolverine's clone, it's perhaps inevitable that she comes out being this alignment.
During her punk mohawk-wearing b***-on-wheels phase where she became a lot more resistant to authority but was nevertheless still technically a hero.
The merciless vampire hunter who is pretty much forced to operate outside of society just by virtue of being who he is. Besides that he does not take orders well and is difficult to work with in a team environment.
Somewhere in-between this and Neutral Good I'd say. As the Sorcerer Supreme Doctor Strange deals with magical and supernautral threats to the planet, and due to the nature of both his powers and the foes he fights he is often forced to operate outside of society. In fact in the character's early years the general public didn't even know Doctor Strange existed!
Like Blade he's a tireless crusader against supernatural forces and as such is pretty much forced to operate outside of society. He's also never depicted as being particularly considerate of rules and authority and is also an Anti-Hero, so...
Cocky, immature, reckless, and hot-headed. Needless to say given all of those things it's no surprise that he also sometimes has authority issues. But despite all of that he is also still one of Marvel's most major heroes, so he fits this.
