Memetic Badass/Web Comics

"adiosToreador eats nails for breakfast. Of course, Nails is a brand of breakfast cereal in his world, but that doesn't make it any less awesome."
 * Axe Cop and his team
 * Drow Tales fans have turned Quain'tana into this. Chuck Norris fears Quain's abs.
 * A piece of fan art for Narbonic made the distinctly non-Badass Dave Davenport out like Bruce Willis. The non-canonical Sunday comics, which were used to have the characters show off fan art, fan fiction, and side stories, meant Dave got to directly see himself rendered as a Badass, began demanding the comic change artists, and gave him a (somewhat implied, but outright mentioned once) canonical man-crush on Willis. Coincidentally, the comic's artist eventually married this fan artist. And Dave ultimately went on to
 * Via Zach Weiner of SMBC, we have Ryan North. Oh sorry, that should be RYAN!!!!! NORTH!!!!!!!!!!
 * O-Chul from Order of the Stick has become one of these, along with a list of "O-Chul facts". To be fair, he did survive being tossed into a spiked tank with an acid-breathing shark in it, and (off-screen) won a Staring Contest against a basilisk...
 * He was tied up when thrown in, broke the ropes while he was impaled on the spike, punched the teeth out of the shark, was carried out of the tank by shark bite, and had enough hit points remaining to attack the evil mastermind.
 * "O-Chul is Chuck Norris' character."
 * - No, Chuck Norris is O-Chul's character in Real Life.
 * "O-Chul does not have a constitution score. Constitution has an O-Chul score."
 * And then he  He affected The Unseen, nudging the most powerful character in the comic from evil by simply being a respectful friend.
 * "That Guy With A Halberd", a nameless Red Shirt type from the battle for Azure City who got his own fan thread in the forums as a social experiment and is rapidly growing to Memetic Badass status.
 * V's Mate can beat anyone just by using a pointy stick.
 * Belkar: Sexy. Shoeless. God of War.
 * Kazumi Kato: Who cares how many people she has to kill? She can just make more in her tummy.
 * Something Positive had this strip featuring Alan Moore that portrayed him as one of these.
 * In the universe of Girl Genius, the Heterodyne Boys are indubitably Memetic Badasses. In the fandom, it's probably Baron Klaus Wulfenbach. Who conquered Europe in a matter of months -- uphill -- both ways -- in a zeppelin castle -- with a lollipop-sucking baby on his back.
 * Let me tell you about Airman Higgs.... The man is.. well... at this point, he's almost an in-universe Memetic Badass. One of the Girl Genius forums has taken the next logical step; Airman Higgs facts. According to said facts, he participted in the Running of the Bulls and walked, cannot lose his hat even if it's knocked off, didn't get drunk after drinking 'lots of rum' because the alcohol didn't dare enter his bloodstream, won a staring contest against his own reflection, and bathes in Jaegerdraught, amongst other things.
 * Othar Tryggvassen, GENTLEMAN ADVENTURER!
 * Doris, with one appearance as of this writing, has become this in the forums for Misfile.
 * Only heightened by an Angel of Heavenly Vengeance saying that Doris would create a greater punishment than he would.
 * The Gunnerkrigg Court forums have Boxbot as sort of an anti-badass ("Boxbot's terrible"), to the point where he features heavily in Remix Comics. Similarly his "competent" counterpart, Robox, is a more classic Memetic Badass. As is Mr. Thorn (and his beard, not that they don't deserve it in this case), the previous BFS wielding Dragon Slayer/Gym Teacher.
 * Irregular Webcomic brings us Jane. Freakin'. Goodall.
 * The Allosaurus!
 * After an apparent Grampa "Hass the Flame" Harley from Homestuck rapidly became one of these in the MS Paint Adventures fandom.
 * Speaking of which, Tavros also has a thread dedicated to parodying Chuck Norris facts by listing ways in which Tvaros (aka adiosToreador) is badass... rapidly followed up by a disclaimer. For example:


 * A more villainous example would be
 * FedoraFreak, one of John's Dad's internet contacts, has survived the craziness of Sburb despite not being a player. His only appearances have been via one-sided message logs and a brief chat-log with another minor character. His current whereabouts are unknown, but it's implied that
 * Within a day of his debut and with maybe three panels and no speaking roles to his name at that point, Jake English became one very quickly. That he's an alternate universe version of the aforementioned Grandpa probably helps.
 * It's still true!
 * Keychain of Creation's Ten Winds. "JUSTICE!" Ten Winds made a permanent charm that lets him deal aggravated damage to anyone less badass than he is. He has never dealt bashing or lethal since. Ten Winds scared a pair of bandits so badly that it is likely that they will not stop fleeing until they end up in the Order of the Stick universe.
 * Max Facepuncher can't wait for 2012 to get here, SO HE CAN KICK ITS ASS!!! He can punch a man so hard only his shoes are left, tear a man in half with his bare hands, can use a canoe as a melee weapon, and is actually what killed the dinosaurs. Don't believe me? Check his Twitter. Also, he could dodge INSTANT MURDER if he had to. And he's a champion boatfighter. As in fighting boats, not fighting on boats. Although he can also kick ass while on a boat as well.
 * Sue killed a bear.
 * In El Goonish Shive, starting with the fight with the fire monster, the author began ascribing this status to Justin.
 * From Questionable Content, we have Steve. He joined the U.S. Department of Kicking Your Ass. And won.
 * I am RICHARD! Chief Warlock of the Brothers of Darkness! Lord of the Thirteen Hells! Master of the Bones! Emperor of the Black! Lord of the Dead! And mayor of a little village up the coast. (Later pages would add Lord of the Dance and Mistress of Magma to his titles.)
 * King Urtica in Exiern with a combination of Batman like planning skills, Vetinari level people-reading skills, and Chuck Norris level fighting skill.
