Memetic Badass/New Media

"According to Wolf, it had been given as down payment to a demon in exchange for invincibility in battle, and the day it came back for the other was the day he would die."
 * Badass of the Week is a whole website devoted to profiling historical and fictional bad-asses, from Erwin Rommel to Ash Williams. They've even covered beef jerky, the B-2 Bomber, the country of Australia, and This Huge-Ass Beetle.
 * Most Internet forums have a tendency to make out their Admins and Moderators to be this if they're around for any solid stretch of time; see also Forum Pecking Order.
 * On Golden Sun Realm, pretty much anything is fair game. It ranges from a moderator's beard, to a regular's fedora, to even an otherwise unknown Japanese old lady. And they're all out to kick your ass.
 * Dr. Tran has a PhD in KICKING YOUR ASS!
 * You gotta hack teh gibbson if you are anything like a 1337 hax0r.
 * Wands don't kill people. Jason Frost kills people.
 * John Freeman in Half Life: Full Life Consequences, particularly as a result of the Djy's machinima adaptation of Free Man, which shows him pile driving a train, among other feats. In the climax of Free Man, he keeps killing Combines despite being shot with rockets and stabbed, (using his "bear hands" because bullets aren't fast enough).
 * In Stray, Big Boss is a Memetic Badass to the rest of FOXHOUND. Of course, he is a formidable warrior, but the rumors about his missing eye alone get into mythic territory.


 * Nobody Dies makes Shinji Ikari one in-universe after being the only one left conscious after a Bar Brawl... Specifically, a Bar Brawl at a UN banquet, where the two main combatants were Gendo Ikari and the President of the United States... who in this fanfic is Stephen Colbert. It's a long story
 * Let's not forget Shinji and Warhammer40K.
 * In Magica Madoka Veneficus Puella, Homura is becoming this (after being Brought Down to Normal no less).
 * A Hero: Chuck Norris Facts are fictional and wishful thinking. Dalek Inquisitor General Facts are real.
 * The fact that its canonical accomplishments (scares other Daleks, survived an Earthshattering Kaboom that killed a fleet...) sound like Chuck Norris facts does not help matters.
