Implacable Man: Difference between revisions

* In the ''[[Discworld]]'' book ''[[Discworld/Going Postal|Going Postal]]'', having one of these sent after him (in the form of Mr. Pump, a golem) is what convinces Moist von Lipwig to give in and serve as postmaster. Golems do have a weakness, though: {{spoiler|they can handle fire, and they can handle water, but being living clay, they can't handle both at the same time}}.

** Another, earlier golem example comes in ''[[Discworld/Feet of Clay|Feet of Clay]]'', in which Angua remarks that, despite its cracks, the golem {{spoiler|king}} would probably keep attacking even if it became nothing more than floating dust.

* [[Assassin's Creed|Altaïr]] is a mortal man. Altaïr is [[Blatant Lies|apparently susceptible to regular weapons]] such as swords, arrows, daggers, and [[Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking|small thrown rocks]]. Altaïr will slaughter his way through an ''ambush'' of roughly fifty [[Elite Mooks]] in about fifteen to twenty minutes without bothering to rest afterwards because he has sworn to [[Never Say "Die"|remove you from this mortal coil in a timely fashion]], and anything that gets in his way is just one more thing to cut down. There is a reason he is a [[Memetic Badass]], and there is a point where a "normal person" just can't be defined as a [[Determinator]] anymore. For Altaïr, that point is probably about when he mercilessly cuts fifty-plus men into chunks (or runs them through, if he wants to spice things up), including the archers who are ''shooting him as he fights''. Then, just to make completely certain that you know he's an Implacable Man, he goes straight from the trail of bodies to [[The Dragon]], stopping only to accuse the man of treason and kill ''another'' twenty [[Elite Mooks]] before finally taking on [[The Dragon]] one-on-one and administering a fatal [[Curb Stomp Battle]]. Yes, that's right. Altaïr [[Curb Stomp Battle|Curb Stomps]] ''[[The Dragon]]'' after having spent probably the last half-hour fighting off over ''seventy soldiers''. If you see [http://i34.tinypic.com/bedhmq.jpg this man] heading in your direction, [[Don't Ask, Just Run|don't ask. Just run]].

Whether he's aiming for you or not, it generally seems like a good idea to flee from a man [[Fight Magnet|whose very existence]] tends to incite bloody battles to the death that often rage across multiple streets in a frenzy of blades and blood. You might not be his target, but you should probably get the hell out of his path.

* O-chul from ''[[Order of the Stick]]'' [[Subverted Trope|''nearly'']] does this in [http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0542.html #542], in which he, in order, throws one of his hobgoblin captors into an acid-tolerant shark's cage without using his hands, stabs himself using the spikes at bottom of said cage (filled with acid) to free himself from a rope bond, gets caught by the shark but pushes himself out, then tricks the shark into grabbing him so its momentum can throw him out of the tank, and still has enough "oomph" left in him to rush at [[Big Bad]] Xykon while drawing back a fist... at which point Xykon uses the weakest of the spells in his [[Functional Magic]] arsenal to push O-chul into negative hit point territory, which causes him to finally faint. He's still pretty good though, given that by the look of the scars on him, O-chul has probably gone through similar [[Death Trap]]s multiple times, and Xykon's parting comment seems to suggest that each time he's gotten as far as rearing back for the punch. Justified, despite O-chul being a [[Badass Normal]], in that the comic holds to the [[Dungeons & Dragons]] game's use of [[Critical Existence Failure]].
