Line 7:
 
== [[Anime]] and [[Manga]] ==
* [[Ghost in Thethe Shell|Major Motoko Kusanagi]]. It helps that she ''can'' walk through walls and anyone stupid enough to stand in her path.
 
== [[Comics]] ==
Line 18:
* [[Lord of the Rings|Aragorn.]]
* Used Narmfully in the already [[So Bad It's Good]] ''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i7gIpuIVE3k Silent Night Deadly Night 2]''
* Michael Myers of the ''[[Halloween (Filmfilm)|Halloween]]'' series' highest level of speed, at least when the [[Offscreen Teleportation|camera isn't on him]]. Even when his victims are running away from him, Michael manages to keep up with them with nothing more than a [[Menacing Stroll]].
** Deconstructed by ''[[Behind the Mask]]'', where Leslie reveals that he runs full-tilt when the victim isn't looking and switches to a power walk when they are. He does a lot of cardio to make the illusion work.
* Ivan Vanko in ''[[Iron Man (Filmfilm)|Iron Man]] 2'' has a moment like this in the beginning, moseying on over to Tony Stark in his Whiplash rig while racecars crash and explode behind him.
 
== [[Literature]] ==
Line 27:
== [[Live Action Television]] ==
* Spike from ''[[Buffy the Vampire Slayer]]''... and Buffy developed one too, for that matter.
* Sylar's done it once or twice on ''[[Heroes (TV series)|Heroes]]''.
 
== [[Video Games]] ==
* Simon Belmont and his kin from ''[[Castlevania]]''.
* Altair in ''[[Assassin's Creed]]''. It's genetic - Ezio and Desmond walk the same way.
* Jotaro in [[The Anime of the Game|The Game of the Anime]] ''[[Jo Jo's Bizarre Adventure (Manga)|Jo Jos Bizarre Adventure]]''.
* The Menacing Stroll is almost always part of the repertoire of an [[SNK Boss]].
* Dante from ''[[Devil May Cry]]''.
* Commander Shepard in ''[[Mass Effect]]''. Particularly notable when s/he walks into the Shadow Broker's lair despite knowing that he is "[[Large and In Charge|very large]]" and that anyone who has gone in there has never come back out. [[Badass|And then s/he points a gun at the Broker's head from 10 feet away.]]
* [[Tsukihime|Arcueid]] in ''[[Melty Blood (Video Game)|Melty Blood]]'', in both vanilla and [[Super-Powered Evil Side]] modes.
** Also, Nanaya.
