** Largo [http://megatokyo.com/strip/1040 decapitates a zombie]... with a giant radish... from the seat of a three-wheeled muffin cart.
*** Largo has also managed to somehow [http://megatokyo.com/strip/1262 WEAPONIZE a RickRoll]. Top That.
* ''[[Girl Genius]]'' runs on this -- see also mini-arcs called ''"X flips out"''. Any of the major Sparks probably qualify.
** One memorable quote: "What kind of sparks are you guys? Not one death ray among the lot of you!"
** Also, "calming pies". You don't eat them. You throw them. They work, too, as long as the amount of nutmeg is correct.
{{quote|"Take that, Brillat-Savarin!"}}
** "''No!'' Are you ''crazy?!'' Oh, wait! ''of course [http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20090902 you are]!''"
** "We're just going to '''kill you''', and then you'll be '''fine'''!"
** Then we have the Jägermonsters, a ''whole race'' of [[Crazy Awesome]] individuals created by Sparks (More precisely, the [[Mad Scientist|Heterodynes]]). Quite frankly, a race of [[The Toblerone|loud]] [[Taste the Rainbow|Multi-colored]] [[TheSuper Toblerone|TobleronesSoldier]]s that have [[Nice Hat|Nice Hats]] as a symbol of status simply ''can't'' be other thing if not [[Crazy Awesome]].
*** "Vait! Hy is not done mit tryink de sottle!!"
* ''[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.
* ''[[In Wily's Defense]]'' gives us the one and only Freeze Man! To name a few things, his first line in the comic is [http://iwd.fetchquest.com/archives.php?type=iwd&c=373 "Hello, ground! Nice to see you again!"], he's [[Comedic Sociopathy|hilariously violent]] for the sole reason that he's ''just plain insane'', [[Satan]] lives in his head, he constantly refers to himself as "[[Batman]]", and he's [[Medium Awareness|aware]] that he's both in a [[Animated Actors|TV show]] ''and'' a webcomic.
{{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 '[[NinjaExposition ButterflyFairy|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|Order of the Stick]]'', as demonstrated in [http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0551.html the arc starting here].
** 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 ''[[Schlock Mercenary]]'', wethe haveresident Corporal[[Mad Pibald,Scientist]] aKevyn soldierAndreyasn. who"Kevyn's eitherleft completelyepaulet insane orwas a verymiracle goodof actornano-engineering.. Oh, and he makes high explosives in his cabin."
** Corporal Pibald, a well-educated and [[Properly Paranoid]] mercenary who's either completely insane or a very good actor. Oh, and he makes high explosives in his cabin. He disguises it as an ant farm!
** He disguises it as an ant farm!
*** He's not a corporal. He's [[Batman]], and [[Shortpacked|he can]] [[Batman Can Breathe in Space|breathe in space]].
*** And by high explosives, we mean anti-matter.
*** 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. There's a reason even Kevyn tries to keep Pi from antimatter.
** He's not a corporal. He's [[Batman]], and [[Shortpacked|he can]] [[Batman Can Breathe in Space|breathe in space]].
*** 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.
{{quote|'''Thurl''': I don't know what Schlock would do. You just said you're unarmed... Well, I suppose that depends on how many of them you can eat in one sitting.}}
* ''[[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!"}}
Line 54 ⟶ 53:
** 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].
{{quote|'''Minion''': You're not trying to catch them, sir?
'''Rayner''': * (Sips his coffee*) No. [[You Have Failed Me|I guess they were right]]. }}
** Having noticed his own reputation for creating such characters, the author finally said "screw it" and created King Radical. He's a king of the "cereal mascot" variety from an alternate universe called the Radical Land who became the leader of the Cumberland<ref>Population: 21,518</ref> mafia after sealing away the evil unicorn king Sparklelord. He routinely rides his motorcycle over alligator pits, has trumpeters on skateboards announcing his presence, and [[Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking|eats only fresh, locally produced organics, prepared simply and with passion]].
* 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.
Line 81 ⟶ 80:
* Madeline the paladin from ''[[Rusty and Co.|Rusty and Co]]''. She's a "Ditzy do-gooder". How ditzy? The first time we meet her, she [http://rustyandco.com/comic/level2/level-2-1/ wields a hoe] and is convinced it's Holy Avenger -- because the gnome who sold it to her said so. Only to return later with a spade she called vorpal halberd. She also [http://rustyandco.com/comic/level2/level-2-11/ frequently] [http://rustyandco.com/comic/level-6-5/ fights] with [[Blind Weaponmaster|closed eyes]]. Which somehow makes her attacks ''more'' precise, allows to [[Spin to Deflect Stuff|deflect thrown daggers]] and apparently lets "magical" agricultural equipment work as advertised -- paladitz did beat a tavern-ful of various armed creatures and a pirate crew with that hoe, while the spade was used to the same effect as if it ''was'' a vorpal halberd. [http://rustyandco.com/comic/level-6-15/ And she can SMELL evil.]
* [[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.]
** And then Eastwood and Lothar managed to outbastard him.
* Sydney of [[Grrl Power]] has the ability to substitute confuse for any attribute when making a skill check.
