Line 26:
** Gil's evolution from a bored pupil constantly tested by his father for basic worth into a man capable of facing down his father, and an army of war clanks, is a clear example. See [http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20071121 here] for evidence.
** More recently, Boris, the Baron's personal secretary, has suddenly shown his ability {{spoiler|1=to not only take down a Jaegermonster, but actually [http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20100820 beat him until he gives up classified information]}}. This is actually a classic example, in that there was no on-screen intermediate development.
** Tarvek either [[Took a Level Inin Badass]] or been playing [[Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass]], surprising even his cousin-cum-bodyguard Violetta with his competance. Likewise, it appears Wooster, Gil's "valet", was doing much the same thing, as was [[Magnificent Bastard|Zola]]. Never mind The Unstoppable Higgs. Pretty much all the major and secondary characters in [[Girl Genius]] started as [[Badass]], [[Took a Level Inin Badass]], or aren't very important characters...yet.
*** One doesn't "play" [[Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass]]. After careful research, the trope that covers Tarvek is [[Obfuscating Stupidity]]; [http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20110425 this strip] makes it pretty clear.
** Moloch while acting as Agatha's minion. [http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20120402 Made clear to Sanaa here.]
Line 43:
* In ''[[El Goonish Shive]]'', Justin, after entire arcs of being one of the only main characters without using amazing superpowers or [[Where Does He Get All Those Wonderful Toys?|wonderful toys]], knocks back a flame golem [http://www.egscomics.com/?date=2010-09-27 with his bare fists] then kicks it [[Punched Across the Room|over a hundred feet]] [http://egscomics.com/?date=2010-10-08 into a river].
** Further evidence: [http://egscomics.com/?date=2011-05-12 Dragon]
* Lily from ''[[College Roomies from HellCRFH]]'' shows up to Dave and Mike's birthday party a full-fledged witch able to fly and summon ball lightning, swearing revenge for the death of her mother. Since [[Dramatic Irony|the audience knows Margaret to have done this and Roger to have already forgiven her]], and she hit it off with Diana at the party, her character arc is probably just getting started...
* Dies Horribly from ''[[Goblins]]'' is a self proclaimed coward. Now that he's getting control of [http://www.goblinscomic.com/04072006/ his arm that Klik restored] [http://www.goblinscomic.com/11182011/ Demon: I'm going to rip you apart. Dies: You already did that. It didn't work.]
** [http://www.goblinscomic.com/11222011/ And the next] [http://www.goblinscomic.com/11252011/ two pages].
* While already [[Badass]] before their [[Gender Bender|sex changes]], the T-Girls of ''[[Jet Dream (webcomic)|Jet Dream]]'' also received [[Bio Augmentation]] and [[Training Fromfrom Hell|extensive training]] in Combat Femininity, making them into an [[Amazon Brigade]] and quite effective in their new feminized bodies and roles.
