** Serling, a butler robot in ''Fast Forward'', actually saved his master's life in probably one of the most [[Moment of Awesome|impressive]] fashions.

* In the animated version of ''[[Legion of Super-Heroes (TV series)|The Legion of Super Heroes]]'', the entire ''series'' takes a level in badass between the first season and the [[Darker and Edgier]] second season. Several of the male characters bulk up significantly, especially Superman, Brainiac 5, Timber Wolf, and Lightning Lad (who also [[Growing the Beard|Grows the Beard]]). On top of that, it also introduces a second [[Future Badass]] version of Superman. At least in the case of Superman (the original one) this is justified as Brainiac intentionally went back in time to get him, but not as far back in time, so the Superman he brings back is older and more experienced.

* Ofdensen in ''[[Metalocalypse]]'', starting with the first season finale. Because sometimes a [[Liz Lemon Job]] requires you to kick some ass.

* Here's a fun game: take some buddies who are familiar with the ''[[Superfriends]]'' and show them either the ''[[Justice League]]'' episode "The Enemy Below" or "The Terror Beyond". Once they're done, tell them that the crazy blonde [[Badass]] dude with the hook for a hand is, in fact, the once [[What Kind of Lame Power Is Heart, Anyway?|incredibly lame]] Aquaman. We would like pictures of their reactions.

* The [[Godzilla: The Series|cartoon version]] of the American ''[[Godzilla]]''. Sure, it's technically his last-surviving offspring. But, the fact that he has nuclear breath and fights other monsters like his Japanese counterpart [[Rescued from the Scrappy Heap|really helps]].

* Don't expect the [[Contested Sequel|show's]] [[Fan Dumb|haters]] to admit it, but [[Ben 10|Ben Tennyson]] ''did'' took some level in badass in [[Ben 10: Alien Force]]; in the original show, he was a 10 years old immature kid with a very limited control on his powers, who would easily make himself look ridiculous or ending up in distress when the Omnitrix stopped working. In Alien Force, he has grown up into a responsible leader, has much better control over the Omnitrix, and is a competent fighter even without the Omnitrix, as well as much skilled to use the aliens. As an annoying side effect however, it resulted in some of his allies and enemies, especially [[Redemption Demotion|Kevin 11]] and [[Arch Enemy|Vilgax]], to suffer [[Villain Decay]]. Presumably because of fans' reaction, Ben then [[Took a Level In Dumbass]] in season 3 due to a fail attempt to make him more like his original series' self.
