Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass: Difference between revisions

* Grace from ''[[El Goonish Shive]]'' can best be described as a bubbly, naive girl, which would almost make you forget she's a genetically engineered [[Super Soldier]] who, the one time she [[Unstoppable Rage|actually got angry]], {{spoiler|proceeded to toss megalomaniac arch-villain Damien around like a rag doll, only to turn around at the last moment and ask him to forgive ''her''}}.

* Mega Man in ''[[Bob and George]]''. Ordinarily he's a complete buffoon. But when he goes into battle, particularly against the Robot Masters, he becomes [[Badass]], often coming up with clever ways to defeat them. The fans figured out a reason for this, and the author said "[[Sure Why Not]]": In one of the early comics, the punchline is that Mega Man was accidentally programmed first to defeat evil robots, and second to be an idiot. He later retconned that this was the reason Mega Man was a default moron whenever there wasn't evil around, but when a bad guy shows up, he becomes an instant badass for the duration of the crisis.

* Fighter of ''[[8-Bit Theater|Eight Bit Theater]]'' is [[The Ditz|a childish dimwit who is blind to the obvious]] ([[Genius Ditz|for the most part at least]]) but is also a highly proficient swordmaster who can wield the [[Rule of Cool|Sword-Chucks]] (yo!) with enough proficiency to fight a six-armed demon of fire. Oh and if you're an enemy, [[Unstoppable Rage|watch yourself if you kill Black Mage...]]

{{quote|'''Fighter:''' Cool. Because friends look out for one another and '''we're''' friends, but Black Mage is my '''best''' friend. Also, I can block any attack and kill '''anything''' that bleeds. '''Hint'''.}}
