World of Badass: Difference between revisions

{{examples}}

* This [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J8f4hpBGDYQ Stunt City] deodorant commercial.

== [[Anime]] and [[Manga]] ==

* ''[[Ben-To]]'', full stop. It helps that every single character is pretty much [[Made of Iron]], otherwise they'd all be in traction.

* ''[[High School DxD]]'' is a series where ''everyone'' is a [[Badass]].

== [[Comic Books]] ==

* Really, any major super hero comic universe fits here. [[Marvel Comics]], [[DC Comics]], [[Image Comics]], [[Valiant Comics]], [[Wildstorm]], etc. They all have hundreds of [[Superpower Lottery|super-powered characters]] and [[Badass Normal|martial artists]] running around planet Earth alone. That's ignoring the various [[Cosmic Entity|cosmic beings]] and [[Batman Can Breathe in Space|powerful aliens]] outside of Earth.

** And even side-characters and civilian allies can step up to the plate without being bitten by a radioactive ''anything.'' J. Jonah Jameson may be a jerk but he won't back down from Doc Ock when his people are in danger. Mary Jane does ''not'' make a cooperative damsel in distress (outside the movieverse.) The X-Men's scientist friend Moira [[Mc Taggert]] once pulled out a machine gun to battle a monstrosity calling itself Kierrok the Damned. Lois Lane knows kung fu. The list goes on.

== [[Fan Works]] ==

== [[Film]] ==

* Interestingly enough, in ''[[The Incredibles]]'', {{spoiler|this is Syndrome's end goal, to eliminate supers by making ''everyone'' super}}.

* The entire [[Marvel Cinematic Universe]] as a whole. But '''ESPECIALLY''' ''[[The Avengers (film)|The Avengers]]''.

== [[Literature]] ==

* In order to be a [[Time Scout]], you have to be a badass. Hell, just to associate with a time scout will probably require you to be a badass. The only people who aren't badasses are tourists. They're just kind of annoying.

* ''[[Warrior Cats]]''. Yes, nearly every single one of the [[Loads and Loads of Characters|700-some characters]] is trained to fight and can hold their own in a battle.

* ''[[Alias (TV series)|Alias]]''. Even relatively dorky characters like Mitchell got to save the day or make sassy remarks while being horrifically tortured from time to time.

* Anything [[Joss Whedon]] has ever done. (Except ''[[Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog]]''). You had to be badass to survive any of his worlds besides for that. One's infested with [[Buffy the Vampire Slayer|vampires, demons, useless Powers That Be, Hellgods and everything else]], [[Firefly|one is much like the Old West... with lazers, spaceships, compressed air instead of gunpowder and space zombies]].

* ''[[Prison Break]]'': If you didn't become a badass on [[Prison Break]] then most likely you would end up dead.

* The cast of ''[[Merlin (TV series)|Merlin]]'' is comprised of a [[Badass Abnormal]] (Merlin), a [[Badass Normal]] (Arthur), a [[Badass Princess]] (Morgana), a [[Badass Damsel]] (Guinevere), a [[Badass Grandpa]] (Gaius), a [[Authority Equals Asskicking|Badass King]] (Uther), a regular [[Badass]] (Lancelot), and a [[Badass Crew]] (the Knights of the Round Table). Oh, and a giant fire-breathing dragon.

== Professional Wrestling ==

* [[Professional Wrestling]] itself is a world of badass. Many wrestlers are legitimately badass outside of the ring, and [[Too Dumb to Live|some people]] have found this out the hard way.

== [[Tabletop Games]] ==

'''Girlfriend:''' Uhm, okay!}}

* The [[Nasuverse]] itself. If they have a name, they have badass points:

** In ''[[Fate/stay night]]'' every main character has severe badass credentials by the end except Shinji, really. Yes, even [[Badass Adorable|Ilya]] and [[Woobie, Destroyer of Worlds|Sakura]]. ''[[Fate/hollow ataraxia]]'' barely changes the cast, but even those few it adds are amazing, such as Bazett Fraga McRemitz, a human who can go toe to toe with Servants—in fact, {{spoiler|she has her own Noble Phantasm, which only Servants are supposed to have}}.

* In ''[[Maji de Watashi ni Koi Shinasai!|Maji De Watashi Ni Koi Shinasai]]'', there are very few characters who can't fight, and many who takes it to a ridiculous degree. The anime even opens with a war game which includes the entire school. The same event is also in one of the routes.

* Shock, on Stickpage.com, is a stick animation based in a world so badass, that [http://www.stickpage.com/shock2play.shtml ''this''] is what happens when you want to apply for a position ''AS THE FUCKING JANITOR''

* ''[[Girl Genius]]'' comes very close. Every character from top to bottom seems to get at least one moment of absolute [[Badass]], from the protagonist, to her [[Love Interest]], to a traveling show full of minor Sparks, to some [[Mook|random soldier]] who woke up to find his airship on fire, to that ''[[Princesses Prefer Pink|pretty pink princess]]''.

* In the world of ''[[Axe Cop]]'', if you have a name, chances are good that you are either a good guy with superpowers or a bad guy about to be destroyed.

{{quote|'''Peasant's wife''': How was work, honey?

'''Peasant''': (looking bored) Oh, you know... Undead, demons, a few heroes here and there. The usual.}}

== [[Web Original]] ==

'''Dwarven farmer''': Laddy, you never know what be lurking out on them fields!}}

* The world of Remnant from ''[[RWBY]]'' -- just about every named character in it is a [[Badass]] of one kind or another. Including the Corgi.

== [[Western Animation]] ==

{{quote|'''Ruckus:''' "What? You think you the ''only'' one to learn the ancient and deadly art of the Nunchaku?"}}

* The entire cast of ''[[Gargoyles]]''. The ''least'' [[Badass]] character would probably be the mutated flying [[Catgirl]] who can shoot electricity out of her hands. Yeah.

== Other ==

* [[Systems Malfunction]]: A [[Cyberpunk]] [[LARP]] which takes this trope [[Up to Eleven]].

* You're a badass and you know it!
