== Anime and Manga ==
* ''[[Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann]]'' gives us [[Crazy Awesome|Kamina]] and his motto : "Go beyond the impossible and kick reason to the curb !" The trick : in a universe that runs on [[Hot -Blooded]]-ness, ''it works''. And it is contagious, as Simon and the whole Gurren Brigade demonstrate.
* This is essentially the overall main plot of [[The Irresponsible Captain Tylor]], both the titular character and the crew of the Soyokaze are either type 1 or type 2, or some combination of both (the series doesn't make it clear which).
* [[Legend of the Galactic Heroes|Yang Wen-Li]]: nicknamed "[[Red Baron|The Magician]]" for his ability to emerge victorious against ridiculous odds: the first time he {{spoiler|captured Iselhorn fortress}}, it was in fact a [[Suicide Mission]] given by superiors who wanted to get rid of him: he emerged successful from said suicide mission with insulting ease

== Live Action TV ==
* [[Doctor Who (TV)|The Doctor.]] He flies in a time machine that can go anywhere and any''when'' in the universe, has saved the Earth more times than he can count, saved the universe and all of reality itself repeatedly. He defeats intergalactic races of pure evil on a daily basis, thinks crippling dictatorships is a rather average outing, and can do all of this with a kettle, a piece of string, and a screwdriver.

"How impossible?"<br />
Line 72:
* ''[[Firefly]]'': Used by Mal Reynolds during the Battle of Serenity Valley to describe his unit:
{{quote| "We have done the impossible. And that makes us mighty."}}
* Jack Bauer of ''[[Twenty Four24 (TV)|Twenty Four]]''. Throughout the series he persevered through gunshot wounds, beatings, torture, explosions, plane crashes, drug addiction, biological weaponry and even clinical death.
