Line 3:
* Fighter from [[
* The characters in ''[[Penny Arcade (Webcomic)|Penny Arcade]]'' both often have [[Crazy Awesome]] moments. In fact, Gabe is given that exact title in [http://www.penny-arcade.com/comic/2005/8/19/ this comic].
* Tedd of ''[[El Goonish Shive (Webcomic)|El Goonish Shive]]''. [http://egscomics.com/?date=2007-02-02 Observe].
Line 50:
* ''[[Path to Greater Good]]'' has Burk. He would like you to know that he is "The Future".
{{quote| '''Bandit Leader:''' "THAT DOESN'T EVEN MEAN ANYTHING!"}}
* '''Everyone''' in ''[[The Adventures of Dr. McNinja (Webcomic)|The Adventures of Dr. McNinja]]'' lives and breathes this trope. Start with Dr. McNinja, who runs a medical practice with a gorilla for a secretary, regularly fights hundred-foot-tall giants, [[Did You Just Punch Out Cthulhu?|punched out Death]], air-surfed a robotic Dracula, battled laser-eyed cyborgs, saved the world with tennis, and massacred countless [[Send in The Clones|clones]], [[Sky Pirate|Sky Pirates]], and [[Mooks]].
** Then you have the supporting characters -- his entire ninja family, his raptor-riding 12-year-old sharpshooter sidekick, his mentor the Ben Franklin clone, Dracula himself, the time-traveling ex-astronaut Mayor, his college superhero team and his motorcycle. The only person who isn't crazy awesome is his ex-girlfriend, and ''she'' once skyjacked an airplane while dressed up as an ancient Incan robot.
** Dan McNinja, the Doctor's father, gets bonus points for lighting himself on fire because [[Memetic Mutation|ninjas can't catch you when you're on fire]]. Frans Rayner also gets points for testing out that theory by [http://drmcninja.com/page.php?pageNum=18&issue=4 lighting two of his mooks on fire].
{{quote| '''Minion''': You're not trying to catch them, sir?<br />
'''Rayner''': * Sips his coffee* No. [[You Have Failed Me|I guess they were right]]. }}
** Having noticed his own reputation for creating such characters, the author finally said "screw it" and created King Radical. He's a king of the "cereal mascot" variety from an alternate universe called the Radical Land who became the leader of the Cumberland<ref>Population: 21,518</ref> mafia after sealing away the evil unicorn king Sparklelord. He routinely rides his motorcycle over alligator pits, has trumpeters on skateboards announcing his presence, and [[Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking|eats only fresh, locally produced organics, prepared simply and with passion]].
* How about Joe Chaos, from ''[[Another Gaming Comic]]''? He's notorious for holding onto anything—''anything'', including cursed items—and using it against the DM later, such as using the slightly-broken rules for choking to give himself time against a poison attack with a cursed Necklace of Choking. On top of all the rest, he's also [[Crazy Prepared]], ridiculously intelligent, and recieved [[Training From Hell]] in the art of ''playing [[Dungeons and Dragons]]''. His nickname comes from the time he used a cursed Gauntlet of Rust to completely negate a kyton—a demon that attacks with metal chains. Joe's name isn't even Joe. It's Irving.
** Also from AGC: Nuclear Dan, who can solve any problem by fireball and concussion.
* ''[[Homestuck (Webcomic)|Homestuck]]'': [[Everyone Calls Him "Barkeep"|Bro]]. Like Dave, he has a katana too, but prefers to kick Dave's ass with a different weapon: '''[[Demonic Dummy|Li'l Cal]]'''. And when said [[Curb Stomp Battle|ass-kicking]] is over, he flies away on a ''rocket-skateboard''. In a series that runs off the sheer absurdity of the characters and situations, it really says something when this guy is the Crazy-Awesomeest of them all.
** [[Beyond the Impossible|He just keeps topping himself after that]]. In [S] Jack: Ascend: he fights some sort of giant octopus monster and wins effortlessly. [S] Descend: he rides a giant meteor to Dave's house, neatly cuts in twain, then leaves to fight a [[One
** {{spoiler|Post-flipout, [[Monster Clown|Gamzee Makara]] picks up the [[Crazy Awesome]] slack. His [[Weapon of Choice|Strife Specibus]] is Jokerkind. What kind of weapon does Jokerkind consist of? WHATEVER THE MOTHERFUCK HE WANTS. Including the [[Infinity
* [[Badass|Hat]] [[Fan Nickname|Guy]] from ''[[Xkcd (Webcomic)|Xkcd]]''. He may not always count, But he has his moments, Like when he became Secretary of the Internet just so that he could turn the Capital Rotunda into a giant ball pool. Or when he commandeered a Russian submarine so he could go get his hat back.
** Randall Munroe himself. The guy made a map of the internet. ''[[Beyond the Impossible|Twice.]]''
Line 70:
* ''[[Axe Cop (Webcomic)|Axe Cop]]'': The comic rivals ''Dr McNinja'' in Crazy Awesome territory due to the fact that the story is based on the imagination of the artist's six-year old brother (which also makes ''him'' Crazy Awesome, as the comic is quite popular).
* Hanners of ''[[Questionable Content]]'' is a neurotic [[Neat Freak]] with [[Super OCD|crippling OCD]] in addition to being the resident [[Cloudcuckoolander]]. She is also one of the strip's most memorable and popular characters. When she swings into action, it's usually awesome and somewhat unusual.
* It varies from individual to individual, but most of the cast of ''[[A Magical Roommate]]'' is crazy awesome to at least a small degree. [[Half
* ''[[Yet Another Fantasy Gamer Comic]]'' has Captain Fang, the Dread Pirate. He either utterly insane, or have near-terminal case of dyslexia which he doesn't try to circumvent and is easily distracted. He's also either absurdly lucky or a good enough pilot to go into tricky waters, get even with a crack crew in an artillery duel ([http://yafgc.net/?id=677 while sitting on the cannon] ''face to the breech'') [http://yafgc.net/?id=897 and... somehow...] got into semi-final of a great tournament. All the while rambling and apparently not paying attention to anything.
* The captain from ''[[Romantically Apocalyptic (Webcomic)|Romantically Apocalyptic]]'' [[Ambiguous Gender|(s)he]] wanders the post apocalyptic landscape with his two subordinates looking for humans and monsters. Makes sure along the way that the [http://www.romanticallyapocalyptic.com/home?page=6 trains run on time], gets the worship of [http://www.romanticallyapocalyptic.com/home?page=9 TWO][http://www.romanticallyapocalyptic.com/home?page=10 cults] to worship him/her, picks up some [http://www.romanticallyapocalyptic.com/home?page=13 fast food] and rescues his subordinate from aliens with a [[Improvised Weapon|cup with a red heart]] and some stale cake. Yes, [[It Makes Sense in Context|really.]] Zhee Captqainn is also highly radioactive, and his/her [[Death Glare|angry stare]] can literally [[Your Head Asplode|make a person's head explode.]]
