* One ''DC Comics Holiday Special'' features a strip in which Santa Claus breaks through the formidable defences of the [[Polluted Wasteland]] Apokalips in order to deliver to its ruler, the evil god [[Darkseid]], a lump of coal for being naughty. It's implied he does this every year. And then he escapes to do it again next year. And what makes this especially badass is that the Santa who does this is just the traditionally jolly, friendly old man version.
** [[Complete Monster|Knowing Darkseid]], that coal was very well deserved.
Line 71:
'''Santa:''' Ha! That was just expression. }}
* The 2020 film ''[[Fatman (film)|Fatman]]'' is about an an unorthodox Santa Claus (played by [[Mel Gibson]]) who must fight off an assassin sent by a [[Spoiled Brat]] who didn't like getting coal for Christmas.

* [https://plarium.com/forum/en/raid-shadow-legends/904_sacred-order/612262_sir-nicholas/ Sir Nicholas] in ''[[Raid: Shadow Legends]]'', a Legendary Champion of [[Church Militant|the Sacred Order]] Faction. According to lore [[Excuse Plot| (such as it is)]], he defeated the Giant King and turned the villain's palace into a shrine to Lumaya. While the citizens of Teleria often exaggerate his heroic deeds, it seems no coincidence that some of the worst demons to plague the land have disappeared on Winter Solstice...

Line 138 ⟶ 140:

Line 152 ⟶ 154:
* One year on ''[[Fur Affinity]]'', the Christmas banner showed the site's mascot beating up Santa Claus. After many complaints, the following year's banner did not include Santa himself, but a group of angry, muscular reindeer. Guess there're more than one reasons no one should mess with Santa.
* Two words. [[That Guy With The Glasses|Santa. Christ.]]
* A series on Newgrounds is all about Zanta Claws, a fake zombie

* Parodied in ''[[Pucca]]'', where Santa once was a badass ninja thief but then pulled a [[Heel Face Turn]] and became Santa... and the [[Butt Monkey]].
* ''[[Fairly Oddparents]]'' - Santa was like this at the end of Christmas Every Day and Have a Merry Wishmas.

Line 175 ⟶ 177:
** 'James Bond-like'? It was straight from Casino Royale. (The newer one)
* Santa Claus from "The Fight Before Christmas" ''[[Powerpuff Girls]]'' Christmas special. We might not see him fight any baddies, but the verbal beat down and [[Cool and Unusual Punishment]] he gave Princess was made of win.
