They may even have been [[The Load]] to their companions - such is their supposed uselessness in combat - but should they be the [[Last Man Standing (graphic novel)|Last Man Standing]] when all their warrior companions have fallen to the invincible might of the [[Big Bad]], busy giving their obligatory [[Hannibal Lecture]] and gloating at their impending doom, the [[Power of Love]] or [[Power of Friendship]] will kick in and kick it hard.
 
Staggering from his or her own grievous physical (and often emotional wounds), the good -hearted [[Every Man]] takes a deep breath and shouts on the top of his or her breath "You leave him/her/them alone!" and gains the [[Heroic Resolve]] to righteously kick the ass of evil that dared to lay its hands on their [[Protectorate|beloved friends]].
 
This is the turning point of a character that will can earn the respect of the other characters ([[Crowning Moment of Awesome|not to mention the audience]]) often combined with [[Crowning Moment of Heartwarming]]. They may end up as the [[Chekhov's Gunman]] or at least be using a [[Chekhov's Skill]]. Tragically, this burst of heroic resolve will often not be able to compensate for their lack of pratical combat experience and/or lack of power, so this trope will also often overlap with [[Heroic Sacrifice]].
