* The Captain from ''[[Nextwave]]'' was a random drunken thug from Brooklyn until [[Sufficiently Advanced Aliens]] decided he was [[The Chosen One]] and gave him superpowers. He's your hero!
* Comic Book legend [[Jack Kirby]] (who ''himself'' exemplified this trope in real life) created a lot of characters in this mold, including [[Fantastic Four (Comic Book)|Benjamin J. Grimm]], Dan "Terrible" Turpin, who in [[Superman: The Animated Series]] responds to [[Darkseid]]'s planet-wide [[Hannibal Lecture]] by ''insulting Darkseid to his face'' and proceeding to free [[Superman]].
* The phenomenon apparently crosses species barriers, because Dex-Starr the [[Ax Crazy|Red]] [[Green Lantern|Lantern]] is from Brooklyn. He's a cat.
* [[The Avengers (Comic Book)|The Avengers]] have the villain [[Taskmaster]] and he even speaks in a Brooklyn accent.
