Line 17:
* Liz and Patti from ''[[Soul Eater]]'' are from Brooklyn. Living Weapons and criminals, before they chose a [[Mugging the Monster|very]] [[Physical God|inappropriate]] [[The Grim Reaper|target]] and their lives took a turn for the better.
* ''[[One Piece]]'': The 4Kids version of Sanji.
* Although she never shows the accent, Revy from ''[[Black Lagoon]]'' is from New York (it's implied she's from Harlem).
Line 24:
* Comic Book legend [[Jack Kirby]] (who ''himself'' exemplified this trope in real life) created a lot of characters in this mold, including [[Fantastic Four|Benjamin J. Grimm]], Dan "Terrible" Turpin, who in [[Superman: The Animated Series]] responds to [[Darkseid]]'s planet-wide [[Hannibal Lecture]] by ''insulting Darkseid to his face'' and proceeding to free [[Superman]].
* The phenomenon apparently crosses species barriers, because Dex-Starr the [[Ax Crazy|Red]] [[Green Lantern|Lantern]] is from Brooklyn. He's a cat.
* [[The Avengers (Comic Book)|The Avengers]] have the villain [[Taskmaster]] and he even speaks in a Brooklyn accent.
* [[Captain America (comics)]] is from Brooklyn. He doesn't seem to have the "rage" (usually) because he's very disciplined. However, he definitely has the determination and adamant refusal to back down from fighting the bad guys that comes with this trope.
* In ''[[G.I. Joe]]'', Cobra Alley Vipers, urban commandos, are confident in their ability to quickly take over any city without incident. Except maybe parts of New York.
* ''[[The Punisher]]''. While some men might seek vengeance on those who killed their family, Frank Castle doesn't settle that low. He wants to kill '''every criminal. Every single one.'''
** The Punisher [[Elseworld]] issue ''[[Exactly What It Says on the Tin|The Punisher Kills Everyone.]]'' HE DOES.
Line 75:
** Makes sense when you think about it. The Mafia is basically a premade Resistance organization, and they ''hated'' the Nazis historicall.
* Given that the 8th season of''Twenty Four'' is set in New York, its to be expected. Most notably Brain Hastings and few dodgey police officers.
* Also to be expected from time to time on [[CSI: NY]], which is set in New York. As far as main characters,Danny Messer can fit this at times. He's settled a little since becoming a family man, but he still has his short temper and liability explode from time to time. He tries to restrain it at work, but not always successfully. And he'll take it [[Up to Eleven]] if you [[Papa Wolf|go after Lindsay and Lucy]].Stella fell into it from time to time as well, and so did Aiden Burn. Another character who comes to mind is Sonny Sassone, who was a villain in two episodes.
* On ''[[Law and Order: Criminal Intent]]'', Robert Goren, who is from Brooklyn ([[Actor Allusion|as is his actor]]), generally averts this trope. When he plays the [[Good Cop, Bad Cop|bad cop]], however, he turns his Brooklyn accent [[Up to Eleven]], just to play into it.
* Many different characters on ''[[Boardwalk Empire]]'', particularly [[Al Capone]].
