Line 566:
* Ray from ''[[Achewood]]'' happens to be the son of Ramses Luther Smuckles, an all-around badass and one of the most celebrated brawlers in American history. He enters the Great Outdoor Fight with essentially no training but manages to destroy a number of stronger men when his best friend Roast Beef is apparently in danger and his latent fighting instincts are aroused.
** For example: during the GOF, another army leader (in the GOF, the first few days involve groups of fighters forming ad-hoc armies led by the most badass members) approached Ray at night, knocking him to the ground and calling him a coward and a liar. Ray's response? He ''ripped the dude's face off with his bare hands.''
* Zap Vexler from ''[[Zap]]'' is a prime example. Huge [[Psychic Powers]] are usually triggered by threats towards his crush, Reona. The first example is [https://web.archive.org/web/20161012184805/http://www.zapinspace.com/d/20040326.html here]. [https://web.archive.org/web/20161012185111/http://www.zapinspace.com/d/20061019.html Don't make fun of his hair, either]. Recently revealed to suffer from [[Amnesiac Dissonance]], with his former self being a powerful psychic out to [[Take Over the World]].
* Trace from ''[[Twokinds]]'' is basically the same, only substituting [[Functional Magic]] for [[Psychic Powers]]. His powers mostly makes an appearance when he needs to protect Flora, his [[Catgirl]] girlfriend. Had a full-blown [[Amnesiac Dissonance]] meets [[Super-Powered Evil Side]] episode, but is currently tending towards [[The Messiah]].
* Arguably Liquid Snake of ''[[The Last Days of Foxhound]]'' also applies, considering it's been implied that despite his borderline idiotic behavior he is in reality a killing machine, but has lost the majority of his skills due to an accident caused by his overly aggressive behavior. He gets more intelligent as the comic moves closer to the events of the Shadow Moses rebellion of ''[[Metal Gear Solid]]''.

'''Big Boss:''' Three.
'''Professor Doc:''' Well, I'm holding out for five. }}
** Walky meanwhile is an excellent example that the trigger doesn't ''have'' to involve an immediate threat to yourself or your loved ones. [https://web.archive.org/web/20110404001146/http://www.itswalky.com/d/20000523.html This], for example, is what happens if you mess with his favorite snack food.
* Ping from ''[[Megatokyo]]'' is a dating-sim accessory who is just a regular [[Ridiculously Human Robot]] girl...whose way of dealing with rejection involves [[Super-Powered Robot Meter Maids|throwing buses and uprooting telephone poles to use as clubs]] (Largo once used this to save the city of Tokyo from a drunken, rampaging, giant turtle).
* 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''}}.
