Line 26:
* In [[Marvel Comics]] the Champion of the Universe goes around to various worlds looking for a good boxing match. His first defeat ever comes from [[Fantastic Four|The Thing]], who refuses to stay down. He can ''beat'' the Thing but he can't ''defeat'' him, so the Champion concedes.
* Also from [[Marvel Comics]], [http://marvel.com/universe/Grandmaster the Grandmaster.]
{{quote| The Grandmaster has spent his extraordinary long life in pursuit of amusement through the playing of games. He has traveled throughout the known universe studying many civilizations' forms of games and play to the point of mastering them. He then began to devise his own types of tournaments and contests, challenging various opponents to games of skill and chance for high stakes.}}

* Despite having ulterior goals, [[The Chessmaster|Augustus]] from ''[[Last Scenario]]'' treats his striving for power like a game.
{{quote| {{spoiler|I proved my superiority. I have already won. [[I Regret Nothing]].}}}}
* Vyse fits certainly the bill. In ''[[Skies of Arcadia]]'', he repeatedly tackles challenges others deem impossible: such as escaping the Grand Fortress and crossing the Dark Rift. He even has a special ability called "challenge lover" in ''[[Valkyria Chronicles]]''. Vyse is not only made of this Trope, he eats it for breakfast.
{{quote| '''Vyse (to Marco):''' "Impossible" is a word people use as an excuse when they want to give up. Whenever someone says something's impossible, it makes me want to prove them wrong.}}
* Othello, from ''[[Unreal Tournament 3|Unreal Tournament III]]''. From his [[All There in the Manual|backstory]]:
{{quote| ''Othello was born into a family of means, and never had to work to support himself. Instead, he challenged himself with the most deadly jobs and in adrenaline-fueling adventures around the galaxy - climbing the ice floes of Mt. Karanish, participation in the Liandri Grand Tournament, even mercenary work in against-all-odds military conflicts.''}}
 
== Western Animation ==
* The ''[[Dial M for Monkey]]'' episode "Rasslor". The title character comes to Earth and challenges its superheroes to wrestle him. He says, "For eons I have scoured the cosmos searching for the one adversary who could provide me with suitable sport." If none of the heroes can defeat him, he will destroy the planet. All of the superheroes go down to defeat except Monkey, who refuses to give up even after Rasslor beats him up.
{{quote| '''Rasslor:''' I could crush your body, I could smash your bones, but I could never break your spirit. You are a marvel, little monkey! Any world that could spawn one as noble as you is truly blessed. I spare your Earth!}}
* Stinkoman from ''[[Homestar Runner]]''. "Are you asking for a CHALLEEEEEEEEEEENNNNNNNNNNNGGGGGGGGGEEEEEEEEEEEEE?!!!"
