In every [[Badass]]'s life, there may come a time when going berserk simply does not work. In this case, many people choose to turn to Tranquil Fury. This state of mind allows much whoop-ass to be uncanned without undue stress. When the time comes for the showdown between the [[The Hero|Hero]] and the [[Big Bad]], do not expect to see furious angry rage. Instead, expect [[The Hero]] (or [[Anti-Hero]])'s face to be serenely, eerily calm. They will not appear to be even slightly put out with the villain. Of course, that won't stop them from trying to hack the villain to hundreds of tiny pieces. A defeat by someone in the grip of Tranquil Fury is likely to be more comprehensive than others, as the job ''will'' [[There Is No Kill Like Overkill|be done in a properly thorough fashion.]]
