Line 5:
* Fighter from [[8-Bit Theater (Webcomic)|Eight Bit Theater]]. A warrior so stupid that he stopped himself and the party from dying after a huge fall by BLOCKING THE GROUND!
* The characters in ''[[Penny Arcade (Webcomic)|Penny Arcade]]'' both often have [[Crazy Awesome]] moments. In fact, Gabe is given that exact title in [http://www.penny-arcade.com/comic/2005/8/19/ this comic].
* Tedd of ''[[
** Tori Vector from ''[http://danshive.deviantart.com/gallery/982852 DES Comics]''. Aside of being cute [[Mad Artist]], she [http://danshive.deviantart.com/art/Some-Comic-of-Mine-009-81483916 advertised] [[Mad Scientist|Amanda]]'s Velocitoaster.
* Eddie from ''[[Emergency Exit]]''.
Line 31:
* ''[http://www.jaydenandcrusader.com Jayden and Crusader's]'' resident mad scientist Smic is known for his crazy awesome moments including, but not limited to, harnessing the power of sunspots to fill the house with pizza, firing a cannon using cream as gun powder and defeating an alkaline super-monster using his bare hands. He is also extremely British.
* Dude Guy in the Nsider comic ''[[Shy Guy Tale]]'' was regarded by fans as the most awesome thing ever. This was lampshaded in one comic by Dude Guy poofing away a would-be attacker, and replying "I'm just that awesome" when asked how he did it.

{{quote| '''Heat Man:''' Alright. As a token of my [[A God Am I|awesomeness]], I'm going to give you twenty seconds to answer my questions. '''1)''' Who in the name of ''ME'' are you? '''2)''' In what way are you NOT a complete Me-damn fairy? And most importantly... '''3)''' Why are you not on your knees and bowing before my greatness? You have ''twenty seconds'', lower being! Get a-answerin'.<br />
'''Freeze Man:''' Oi oi, just twenty? That seems like a very low amount of time to be "a-answerin'" your inquiries. '''1)''' The name I am known by is '''BATMAN'''. '''2)''' I don't say '[[Ninja Butterfly|HEY! LISTEN!]]' every 3.1415 seconds! '''3)''' Probably because I have a [[Sprite Comic|limited amount of poses]], and so I don't have a 'bow down before your greatness' pose. }}
* Katarakis from ''[[Starslip]]''. He tried to take over the world with art, visited the formation of the universe, and destroyed the timeline ''and the site itself'' with a spork.
* Both Killroy and Brandon in ''[[Killroy And Tina]]'', which is probably why they get along so well.
* Elan of ''[[The Order of the Stick
** Also Belkar, from the very beginning. Sexy shoeless god of war indeed...
** Xykon has some aspects of this as well. Dude tossed a bouncy ball with a Symbol of Insanity spell inscribed on it into a room full of paladins. The outcome contained a balance of Hilarious and Horrific worthy of the Joker.
* Jim of ''[[Darths and Droids]]'' with his [[Mind Screw]] plan for freeing Anakin in episode 1.
** Better yet, General Grievous. His dialogue was written to give the impression that he is stark raving mad of the completely and totally ''nuts'' variety, yet he is still a four-armed lightsaber-wielding giant bone-colored cyborg.
* In ''[[
** He disguises it as an ant farm!
*** And by high explosives, we mean anti-matter.
** He's not a corporal. He's [[Batman]], and [[Shortpacked
*** He once made a gun that can put a hole in the world. A permanent, very impressive, hole in the world. And it was a pistol.
** Schlock himself, as well.
Line 50:
* ''[[Path to Greater Good]]'' has Burk. He would like you to know that he is "The Future".
{{quote| '''Bandit Leader:''' "THAT DOESN'T EVEN MEAN ANYTHING!"}}
* '''Everyone''' in ''[[
** Then you have the supporting characters -- his entire ninja family, his raptor-riding 12-year-old sharpshooter sidekick, his mentor the Ben Franklin clone, Dracula himself, the time-traveling ex-astronaut Mayor, his college superhero team and his motorcycle. The only person who isn't crazy awesome is his ex-girlfriend, and ''she'' once skyjacked an airplane while dressed up as an ancient Incan robot.
** Dan McNinja, the Doctor's father, gets bonus points for lighting himself on fire because [[Memetic Mutation|ninjas can't catch you when you're on fire]]. Frans Rayner also gets points for testing out that theory by [http://drmcninja.com/page.php?pageNum=18&issue=4 lighting two of his mooks on fire].
Line 58:
* How about Joe Chaos, from ''[[Another Gaming Comic]]''? He's notorious for holding onto anything—''anything'', including cursed items—and using it against the DM later, such as using the slightly-broken rules for choking to give himself time against a poison attack with a cursed Necklace of Choking. On top of all the rest, he's also [[Crazy Prepared]], ridiculously intelligent, and recieved [[Training From Hell]] in the art of ''playing [[Dungeons and Dragons]]''. His nickname comes from the time he used a cursed Gauntlet of Rust to completely negate a kyton—a demon that attacks with metal chains. Joe's name isn't even Joe. It's Irving.
** Also from AGC: Nuclear Dan, who can solve any problem by fireball and concussion.
* ''[[
** [[Beyond the Impossible|He just keeps topping himself after that]]. In [S] Jack: Ascend: he fights some sort of giant octopus monster and wins effortlessly. [S] Descend: he rides a giant meteor to Dave's house, neatly cuts in twain, then leaves to fight a [[One-Man Army]] [[Big Bad]] to a standstill. On a giant turntable. In a sea of lava. To [[Crowning Music of Awesome|Atomyk Ebonpyre]]. In a rematch with said [[Big Bad]], he came very close to defeating him (using both a katana and Li'l Cal ''at the same time'') {{spoiler|and it takes said [[Big Bad]] abruptly becoming a [[Physical God]] mid-fight to [[Killed Off for Real|finally kill Bro]].}}
** {{spoiler|Post-flipout, [[Monster Clown|Gamzee Makara]] picks up the [[Crazy Awesome]] slack. His [[Weapon of Choice|Strife Specibus]] is Jokerkind. What kind of weapon does Jokerkind consist of? WHATEVER THE MOTHERFUCK HE WANTS. Including the [[Infinity+1 Sword|WARHAMMER OF ZILLYHOO]]. When he isn't brutally murdering people, he's [[Flash Step|Flash Stepping]] around, tricking people into gathering in one place so he can kill them easier later, swapping items while people are holding them, generally [[Hell Is That Noise|scaring the shit]] out of Karkat, and [[Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking|apparently kissing Tavros's severed head]]. Then there's the [[Decapitation Presentation|MOTHERFUCKIN JURY]].}}
* [[Badass|Hat]] [[Fan Nickname|Guy]] from ''[[
** Randall Munroe himself. The guy made a map of the internet. ''[[Beyond the Impossible|Twice.]]''
* ''[[Mob Ties]]'': Sidney Burns and his booziness were what got this whole mess started, have continued to propel him through much of the story, and is actually a vital part of his character. The fact that {{spoiler|the booze is self medication to keep the trauma of several months being a prisoner of war from turning him into a rage filled monster}} only makes it more awesome. Of course, there are [http://www.drunkduck.com/Mob_Ties/index.php?p=231017 a few side effects.]
** That the guy frequents a bar called the Trainyard that is full of crossdressers (and not the pretty kind) because he likes the margaritas, throws bottles of beer with devastating accuracy to silence loud students in class, renamed an entire yakuza clan after a high school mascot, and improved his boxing skills by training with a giant panda. Oh, and he often communicates via puppet.
* ''[[Last
* The main character of the ''[[
** Max Facepuncher, as with everything else, takes it to eleven, introducing himself to the main character by jumping out of a plane that's doing a swoop at high speeds, then immediately starting a fight. That's pretty much how he says hello.
* ''[[
* Hanners of ''[[Questionable Content]]'' is a neurotic [[Neat Freak]] with [[Super OCD|crippling OCD]] in addition to being the resident [[Cloudcuckoolander]]. She is also one of the strip's most memorable and popular characters. When she swings into action, it's usually awesome and somewhat unusual.
* It varies from individual to individual, but most of the cast of ''[[A Magical Roommate]]'' is crazy awesome to at least a small degree. [[Half-Human Hybrid|And]] [[Made of Explodium|then]] [[The Stoic|there's]] [[Names to Run Away From Really Fast|X...]]
* ''[[Yet Another Fantasy Gamer Comic]]'' has Captain Fang, the Dread Pirate. He either utterly insane, or have near-terminal case of dyslexia which he doesn't try to circumvent and is easily distracted. He's also either absurdly lucky or a good enough pilot to go into tricky waters, get even with a crack crew in an artillery duel ([http://yafgc.net/?id=677 while sitting on the cannon] ''face to the breech'') [http://yafgc.net/?id=897 and... somehow...] got into semi-final of a great tournament. All the while rambling and apparently not paying attention to anything.
* The captain from ''[[
** And may be the person solely responsible for World War 3. Maybe. We only have his word for it.
* [[Everythings Nuttier With Squirrels|Scarlet]] from ''[[Sequential Art (
* [[Walkyverse|Robin]] [[Shortpacked
* The entire main cast of [[Narbonic]]. Helen {{spoiler|Beta}} Narbon, mad scientist who went insane in an Italian restaurant: nearly a dozen people died from the monsters she created using just what she found in the ladies' room. Mel Kelly, intern and gun nut, who in another timeline {{spoiler|took over the world in order to destroy it.}} Dave Davenport, minion, who is too good at fixing things, including the [[Kill Sat]] death ray he built from what turned out to be a broken mail sorter. Artie, the superintelligent gerbil whose good-natured attempts at making things better have led to an uprising of robot copies of a rival mad scientist, and a pack of evil hamsters.
* [[Wholesome Crossdresser]] Tip Wilkin of ''[[Skin Horse]]''. Wears designer dresses on field assignments. Uses his appearance to seduce [[Anything That Moves]].
** He went to Canada to investigate missing U.S. soldiers and boinked the town sheriff, who handcuffed him to her bed. Just before she and everyone in the town turned into werewolves. At which point he escaped and saved his temmates. His teammates are an unstoppable fast zombie and a genetically engineered battledog, and ''he'' got the [[Big Damn Heroes]] moment. And he got an [[I Call It Vera]] moment at the same time.
* Madeline the paladin from ''[[Rusty and Co
* [[Exterminatus Now]] gives us Morth The Betrayer, who, while normally not in this category, manages to gain this status due to an unusual tactic: not only will he summon a demon lord and ascend to a demon himself, he'll gain thousands of new followers for his master as well. How? [http://exterminatusnow.co.uk/2012-05-06/comic/the-bookend-of-unimaginable-power/the-revolution-will-be-televised/ By broadcasting the entire thing online.]
* Sydney of [[Grrl Power]] has the ability to substitute confuse for any attribute when making a skill check.
