Papa Wolf/Western Animation: Difference between revisions

* ''[[Darkwing Duck]]'', whose [[Tomboy]] daughter Gosalyn has a habit of getting into trouble like making a [[Deal With the Devil]] or releasing an evil [[Trickster]] spirit. He even finds himself unable to leave the [[Mirror Universe]] without [[Merged Reality|merging the two]] because he can't help thinking of Gosalyn's counterpart as his own daughter. And yes, he has worried about his enemies using her to get to him.

** In general, threatening Gosalyn is an easy way to make him quickly [[Let's Get Dangerous|get over his ego]] and kick your ass five ways at once.

** The Emir probably also counts. He used magic to [[Death Takes a Holiday|force Death into taking a holiday]], all in an attempt to resurrect his young son.

** And when Elisa was shot in her apartment (accidentally by Broadway), Goliath tore through the city to get the gangster he believed did this. When he did find the gangster Tony Dracon, he was willing to kill the guy right then and there for what he (supposedly) did to Elisa.

* [[Aquaman (Comic Book)|Aquaman]] in the ''[[Justice League]]'' TV series [[Life or Limb Decision|chopped off]] ''[[Life or Limb Decision|his own hand]]'' [[Life or Limb Decision|to save his infant child's life and get out of a]] [[Death Trap]]. And then he returned home with the baby tucked under his good arm, had his people put a hook on his stump, came back to action and [[Handicapped Badass|helped the Justice League kick the culprit's ass]]. Conclusion? Do NOT mess with Aquaman's kid. You'll be '''VERY''', '''''VERY SORRY'''''.

** To drive that point even further, the villain was ''[[Cain and Abel|his own brother]]'', Orm. And Aquaman didn't give a single thought about kicking his ass and {{spoiler|letting him die}}.

** It should be mentioned for the un-initiated, that Ratchet is both an old man and a medic, with no offensively designed equipment. Yet you still don't doubt that he could very well hand them their asses on a plate if pressed.

* In the animated series ''[[Kissyfur]]'', Gus, Kissyfur's dad is this to his son as well as to the other children. Simply put, if you put them in danger, you'd better be prepared to be thrown halfway across the swamp. You would think that Floyd and Jolene, the 2 gators on the show, would have learned their lesson.

* ''[[Star Wars the Clone Wars]]'': You do ''not'' want to threaten Ahsoka when Anakin's around.

** Considering [[Berserk Button|the threat of losing someone he cares for]] is what eventually causes him to turn into Vader, this is understandable.

** And Ben grows up into one in at least one timeline. Kevin 11,000 hurts Ben's son Ken. Cue Ben going Way Big and pummeling Kevin into the ground in an [[Unstoppable Rage]].

* ''[[SpongeBob SquarePants (Animation)|SpongeBob SquarePants]]'': ''Spongebob'' of all people has this for his pet snail Gary. He's only stood up to his boss Mr. Krabs on a few occasions, one of which involved him not being himself at the time and two others being him being pushed over the edge by a great deal of abuse the entire episode. However, on one occasion, Krabs used Gary to steal money for him thanks to him somehow being a living change magnet, something that Spongebob had already told Krabs hurts Gary. When Spongebob finds out, he ''instantly'' chews Krabs out for it without a second thought. On another occasion, Spongebob became the adopted father of a bunch of baby worms and this part of him awakened once again. He tackled Larry (the strongest guy in town) when he tried to eat them, then disabled a truck by ''tearing the engine block out of it '''with his bare hands''''' to stop it from running over them. Also manages an inversion in one episode when his criminal cousin Blackjack apparently kidnapped his parents, overcoming his crippling childhood fear of Blackjack to confront him. {{spoiler|Turns out he hadn't kidnapped them but it still counts.}}

* Inverted in ''[[Godzilla the Series]]'' where Godzilla Jr will go to crazy lengths to protect his adopted father Nick.

** But played straight with Nick. If you are human and you do something that harms Godzilla Jr, Nick will end you.
