Not The Trope. The Pirate Who Dont Do Anything is a character who is stated to have a job or occupation that they\'re never actually seen doing, not a character who isn\'t as awesome as they\'re cracked up to be.

* Mina Murray gets one in the first volume; after she slaps Dr. Jekyll to provoke his transformation, Hyde -- in full, grotesque form -- grabs her hand and looms over her in typical terrifying fashion to inform her of how little he appreciates it.

!!The Black Dossier
* The entire space-port sequence in the Black Dossier for the rejuvenated Alan Quatermain. In short order, he knees Bulldog Drummond in the groin, slams a suitcase into Emma Peel's face, and blows up the car James F-ing Bond is pursuing him and Mina in with a well-aimed shot of his elephant gun. One gets the feeling that Alan Moore thought the "British adventure hero" archetype peaked with Quatermain, and he wanted to make a point of this by showing him to be superior to his "successors".
** This is pretty much stated outright the first time Quatermain and Murray beat up Bond (which is a moment of awesome itself); Quatermain looks down at the prone form of Bond and is prompted to sneer:
--->'''Quatermain''': So this is what it's come to? The British adventure hero? Pathetic.
* Right at the end of "Black Dossier", Alan Moore suddenly proved that all of fiction means ''all'' of fiction, when Allan and Mina are rescued by a blimp piloted by [[spoiler:... no, I can't say.
