History AdaptationalBadass / CitadelOfTheHeart

* While ''Recap/DiaryOfAnAnalog'' is otherwise non-canon to ''Citadel of the Heart'', some of it's cases of Adaptational Badass are still noteworthy enough to be listed here.

* [[WesternAnimation/CodeLyoko William Dunbar]] was already a RatedMForManly character in his own series, but here he ends up having most of his Lyoko powers in the real world[[note]](a concept borrowed from the ''Garage Kids'' pilot, which showcased Yumi's {{Telekinesis}} in the real world)[[/note]], including the borderline superhuman strength, both offensive and defensive and just flat out making him into an ImplacableMan who flat out unnerves both friends and foe in the long-term because of the possibility of him going through a HeWhoFightsMonsters crisis. By the time the first arc has reached its halfway point, he's pointed out as having the single strongest avatar on Lyoko to the point [[spoiler:the until this point OrcusOnHisThrone Garuda tries to actively kill William directly, which is the plot regarding just two days before the events of the prologue begin to occur.]]

* Sirius Ketchum. The OCStandIn for Ash's DisappearedDad from the canon. If you were just some random schmuck on the street InUniverse who thought Sirius was anything like what his canon self was implied to be in ''LightNovel/PocketMonstersTheAnimation'', everyone will just slap you silly and tell you to stop kidding yourself because they are also simultaneously legitimately terrified of what he might do now that you've insulted his strength. Sirius' ungodly level of power with his AuraVision isn't just something that makes him a living legend; he's literally the bane of everyone else who even so much has seen just a ''fraction'' of his battling experience. When Cheren reads off the moveset of Ash's newly hatched Pichu in ''Truth and Ideals'', Cheren is floored to see what moves are on said Pichu to the point he hastily asks what kind of trainer Sirius must've been to have a powerful moveset like that right off of the bat.[[note]]Reversal, Volt Tackle, Disarming Voice, and Thunder Wave.[[/note]]

Creator/MF217 sure loves his WorldOfBadass reinterpretations of canon characters of the works he writes for. Trying to list every single example would take an eternity to sort out. This is a list of the more noteworthy examples seen thus far.

* The moment he first awakens his AuraVision abilities, [[Anime/PokemonTheSeries Ash Ketchum]] terrifies the Gym Leaders sans Iris because of the possibility of him being a repeat of his father who was a complete InvincibleHero whose power on the battlefield made him an ungodly terror despite his NiceGuy exterior. For the most part, Ash does indeed TurnOutLikeHisFather, but stays heroic overall whereas Sirius was implied to be at least ''somewhat'' AntiHero in nature by comparison. The author described Ash's journey up from the beginning to its inevitable conclusion as effectively as a situation similar to the ''Godzilla Unleashed'' Tyrant Ending, in which Ash goes completely UpToEleven FromNobodyToNightmare. [[spoiler:Even into the sequel two years later he sticks to his heroic traits, [[DarkerAndEdgier but he's suffering a lot of angst because he's fearing his own power at this rate because after two years if he keeps going at it the way he has, his own power will destroy him faster than anybody else could even make the attempt.]]]]

* While we don't yet see him in action in this form, [[spoiler:Sugou Nobuyuki was originally an Ultimorian Emissary; an archangel covered head to toe in white and sapphire armor with six heavenly wings, only to have been cast out by Ultima for "defiling his creations". At the end of Chapter 26, Nobuyuki has his mortal self destroyed to restore him to his original Ultimorian heritage namesake of "Oberon", meaning in this case, Oberon was more than just an avatar for him in a [=VRMMORPG=] and was basically him in a past incarnation until being reborn anew as him.]]

** [=WarGreymon=] inherits some of his moveset from the ''Anime/DigimonAdventure2020'' series, which results in him using a miniature, handheld Terra Force after ramming his Dramon Destroyer into [[spoiler:Lady Sigma's]] chest and ignites it, promptly blowing the target up to smithereens to the point they only wind up surviving by virtue of this being [[spoiler:Lady Sigma, as in, Royal Knight Alphamon]], who isn't going to die all that easily.

* The moment he first awakens his AuraVision abilities, [[Anime/{{Pokemon}} Ash Ketchum]] terrifies the Gym Leaders sans Iris because of the possibility of him being a repeat of his father who was a complete InvincibleHero whose power on the battlefield made him an ungodly terror despite his NiceGuy exterior. For the most part, Ash does indeed TurnOutLikeHisFather, but stays heroic overall whereas Sirius was implied to be at least ''somewhat'' AntiHero in nature by comparison.

* Victor, AKA "Victor Veloci" as [[WesternAnimation/DinoSquad his canon name goes]], qualifies, but more special mention goes to his Beast Mode; the unnamed, genetically engineered species of RaptorAttack dinosaur he can turn into. It stands 9 feet tall, it weighs almost 500 lbs., it has a bone crushing bite akin to a Hyena's, it's claws are akin to a Bear's even down to having five digits of razor sharp killing and butchering, and he is capable of running up to 100 MPH and can keep up with and outpace a Cheetah in long term speed due to having more stamina. So is Victor meant to be what the ''[[Film/JurassicWorldFallenKingdom Indoraptor]]'' could've been had it been the final product instead of a prototype? Considering Victor was a generic RaptorAttack dinosaur in the show he's from, and he didn't have much of a good track record in fights, this is definitely a step up in terms of being a legitimately dangerous opponent whose butchering ability can make even a TyrannosaurusRex think twice about attacking it.

* An unusual example with the Digimon Kimeramon, who in newer media featuring it is an Ultimate Level. As far as the entirety of ''Citadel of the Heart'' is concerned, canon or otherwise, Kimeramon here are all classified as Mega Level. This has to do with a GrandfatherClause sort of effect, as Kimeramon was actually intended to be Mega Level originally as seen [[https://wikimon.net/Digimon_World_2 here]] and [[https://wikimon.net/Digimon_Adventure:_Anode_Tamer here]].

* '''[[Anime/{{Pokemon}} Ash Ketchum]], full [[PrecisionFStrike fucking]] stop.''' The moment he first awakens his AuraVision abilities, he terrifies the Gym Leaders sans Iris because of the possibility of him being a repeat of his father who was a complete InvincibleHero whose power on the battlefield made him an ungodly terror despite his NiceGuy exterior.

** [[WesternAnimation/Ben10AlienForce Humungousaur]] is a {{Subverted}} case of this in this continuity. It's less so a case of PlayedStraight AdaptationalBadass so much as instead a ForgotFlandersCouldDoThat; his SizeShifter ability from his debut series, which is seldom used in comparison to his SuperStrength, is utilized far more often here to the point Humungousaur can turn battles that are otherwise CurbStompCushion against him into a CurbStompBattle in his favor with this ability. Due to the fact he uses this ability far more often, he actually can overpower Vilgax even if Vilgax is normally using his stimulated arm boosts, which is normally what puts Vilgax and Humungousaur on more or less equal footing [[LetsGetDangerous until Humungousaur busts out the]] SizeShifter ability.
