Line 276:
* Tom Goodman from ''[[No One Lives Forever]]''. Subverted {{spoiler|because he's already dead, and the one you meet is an impostor}}.
* By reading his CV, it is clear Santino from ''[[Tales of Monkey Island]]'' was every bit the ace... [[Dem Bones|Just too bad that by the time you meet him, he's been dead for decades]]. None of his crew-members seem to have realized this, however, as they still think he's awesome.
* Subverted by ''[[
* Deconstructed in ''[[Fire Emblem:
** [[Fire Emblem Tellius]] has a few of them. Ike qualifies in his Radiant Dawn incarnation, the Black Knight is busy {{spoiler|being the best general for both Daein and Begnion ''at the same time,''}} and Bastian seems to be a man of many talents.
* The protagonist of ''[[Radiant Historia]]'' is this; he was able to learn an invisibility spell after seeing an enemy use it ''once''. From the perspective of the non-time travelers, its even more ridiculous. "We need a one-of-a-kind magic item protected by the most powerful army in the world!" "Oh, I have that right here in my pocket." Of course, he had to jump between two different timelines a few dozen times to get it, but they don't see that.
Line 318:
* Ace from [[The Insane Quest]] was ([[Meaningful Name|fittingly]]) one of these at first, but as time went on his team began to lose respect for him when he started becoming less of an ace and more of a traditional [[Marty Stu]]. Lori could also be considered a female example.
** This has given [[Blob Monster|Mortal]] enough basis to accuse them both of being a [[Mary Sue]], of course.
** Though the author is [[Rescued
* [[Chuck Norris]], via [[Memetic Mutation]].
** And every other [[Memetic Badass]]/[[Memetic Sex God]].
Line 350:
** Jonas Venture Jr. also qualifies... and only gets more infuriating as the series progresses.
** Jonas Venture Sr. too, albeit posthumously. Everyone who ever knew him considered him a god among men. Even Rusty, who knows full well what a self-absorbed asshat he was, can't bring himself to break out of his father's shadow.
* Experiment 262 from ''[[Lilo
* [[Aladdin (Disney film)|Aladdin]] disguises himself as the completely over-the-top Prince Ali to woo Princess Jasmine, and he's introduced with a preposteously [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YM5VGfiSd3s epic song] that's one long hymn to his awesomeness.
* Brian Boitano is presented as The Ace on ''[[South Park]]'', despite never appearing on the show. According the musical number about him in ''[[South Park Bigger Longer and Uncut]]'', he has magical fire-breath and once punched out Khublai Khan.
Line 369:
* Jet from ''[[Avatar: The Last Airbender]]'' is portrayed like this; he's strong, he's a good leader, he sweeps Katara off her feet, and Aang doesn't even seem to notice because he thinks Jet is awesome too. Only Sokka is suspicious of him, and for good reason; they later find out that Jet is rather psychotic and was willing to kill innocent people in order to wipe out a few fire nation soldiers.
* Mei Ling in ''[[Kung Fu Panda]]: Secrets of the Furious Five''. She was the top student at the martial arts academy where Crane worked as the janitor and is a [[Nice Guy|true blue friend]] who helped the underconfident bird achieve his dream to enroll in the school.
* Reggie Bullnerd in ''[[
* ''[[SpongeBob SquarePants]]'' has 3 of them. Spongebob is this compared to Squidward, as are Mr. Krabs to Plankton and Squillium to Squidward.
** Smitty Werbenjagermanjensen. He was number 1!
