Line 2: '''Took A Level In Badass''': An otherwise average character suddenly becomes a lot more powerful. * '''Straight''': Bob goes from being an average hero into being a kickass superhero who can beat up bad guys easily. * '''Exaggerated''': Bob goes from being the weakest pansy one could possibly come across, to being able to ~~crush~~ [[Did You Just Punch Out Cthulhu?\|crush Cthulhu]] with a blink of an eye. * '''Justified''': Bob went to a ninja academy which taught him loads of badass skills. * '''Inverted''': Bob undergoes [[Badass Decay]]. * '''Subverted''': We think Bob is beating people up, but the people he beats up are even more pathetic than the original Bob. * '''Double Subverted''': He then promptly goes and beats up a whole bunch of insanely tough bad guys. * '''Parodied''': Bob used to be a nerd, complete with a [[Geek Physiques\|geek physique]]. He retains this appearance, and yet is able to beat people up like a [[One -Man Army]]. * '''Deconstructed''': In an effort to [[I Just Want to Be Badass\|become more badass]], Bob goes through [[Training ~~From~~from Hell]] to make himself stronger. The torment he undergoes destroys his psyche, which is only revealed later, at a pivotal point in the story. * '''Reconstructed''': Bob willingly subjects himself to [[Training ~~From~~from Hell]] to become strong enough to save his beloved Alice. When all is said and done, he decides it was [[Worth It]]. * '''Zig Zagged''': Bob appears to be extra badass, but by beating up kittens. Then he takes on some real enemies...and loses. But then we discover he [[I Am Not Left -Handed\|was holding back his power all along!]] * '''Averted''': All characters stay at about the same [[Badass]] level throughout the story. * '''Enforced''': "This Bob character is a bit pathetic. Let's spice him up and improve the ratings by adding a few fight scenes!" * '''Lampshaded''': "My God, Bob, you used to be pathetic, but you've gotten good at fighting all of a sudden!" * '''Invoked''': [[The Obi -Wan\|Bob's mentor]] sends him to a ninja school in order to make him a better fighter. * '''Defied''': Bob is happy to remain [[Too Clever Byby Half\|using his intellect]] to fight battles, and refuses to work out or learn new skills. ** [[The Pen Is Mightier]] * '''Discussed''': "Oh, look, the [[Big Bad]] is coming - guess Bob is going to show him he's not what he used to be." * '''Conversed''': "That Bob is a hell of a lot tougher than he was last episode..." ---- Oof! You aren't the same wimp you were two seasons ago...I take it you [[Took a Level Inin Badass]] during the break? {{reflist}} [[Category:~~Took A Level In Badass~~{{BASEPAGENAME}}]] [[Category:~~Playing With~~{{SUBPAGENAME}}]]
