Line 72:
* Both Shinji Ikari and Kaworu Nagisa in ''[[Shinji and Warhammer40K]]'' are upgraded to nigh-[[Physical God]] [[Magnificent Bastard]]s on a Xanatos collision course.
* Hey, remember how [[Non-Action Guy|Yuuno]] was in ''[[Lyrical Nanoha]]'' canon? In ''[[Blood That Flows]]'', he's easily as [[Badass]] as any of the main characters and can hold his own against Gods and Demons just as well as any of the other characters in the story.
* This trope is a staple for the villains of ''[[Ultimate Sleepwalker|Ultimate Sleepwalker: The New Dreams]]'' and ''[[Ultimate SpiderWoman
* In ''[[Ore no Imouto ga Konna ni Kawaii Wake ga Nai!|Oreimo]]'' canon, Kousaka Kyousuke is the type of person who lets [[Tsundere|his sister]] walk all over him. Contrast this to the [[Fix Fic]] ''[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/7330418/1/My_Life_Cant_Lose_Its_Normality My Life Can't Lose Its Normality]'' where he (as well as Ayase, Akagi, and Miura) are a team of martial-arts mastering, [[Yakuza]]-killing vigilantes who pull off stunts normally reserved for [[Badass Crew|paramilitary organizations and special operatives]]. [[Holy Shit Quotient|Holy shit.]]
* Possibly the entire cast of ''[[That Guy with the Glasses in Space]].''
Line 217:
* ''[[Legion of Super-Heroes (TV series)|Legion of Super Heroes]]'' upgrades Ron-Karr, who in [[Legion of Super-Heroes (comics)|the comics]] merely has the power to [[What Kind of Lame Power Is Heart, Anyway?|make himself flat]]. In the cartoon he's a [[Shapeshifting|Shape Shifter]] and [[Evil Counterpart]] to Chameleon Boy (until {{spoiler|his [[Heel Face Turn]]}}).
** From the same series, Grimbor and Terra-Man. The former in the comics was just chain-weapon themed villain who sought revenge for his wife's death, while the cartoon one was a skilled mercenary who owned the team (sans Karate Kid). The latter was originally a environmental terrorist who dressed in a cowboy-inspired battlesuit (and was exclusively a Superman foe, no less), while the cartoon version was a [[The Terminator|Terminator]]-like robot who was [[Determinator|nearly unbeatable]].
** Brainiac Five. Originally [[The Smart Guy]] with a force field gadget, he is now a descendant of a ''[[Superman: The Animated Series]]-style'' Brainiac 1.0, meaning he is a super-genius and super-powerful [[Do-Anything Robot]], though some fans felt that it was an unnecessary beef-up that came of underestimating and not really respecting the original character enough. The series finale finds him under Brainiac 1's influence, and he basically becomes ten times the god of destruction that S:TAS Brainiac 1 was, ''killing freaking '''Imperiex,''' a [[Galactic Conquerer]] and [[Big Bad]] of the season, dead,'' and taking apart the Thanagarians, a whole world of [[Proud Warrior Race
* Speaking of Terra-Man, in ''[[Justice League Unlimited]],'' he appeared under his civilian name Tobias Manning. Manning was ''actually'' a cowboy, living in the 1800s, until he got his hands on Chronos' time travel tech. Now (well, not [[Time Travel Tense Trouble|now-now]]) he and his thugs rule the west with an iron fist using future technology. Not too shabby.
* ''[[Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles]]'' is a franchise that has spanned comic books, cartoons, toys, and live action movies, and there have been many variations of the characters throughout the years.
