History BadassFamily / LiveActionTV

* The Queens from ''Series/{{Arrow}}''. Both Oliver and Thea became superheroes. 100% of your kids becoming professional crimefighters ain't bad. Likewise with the Lances. The father, Quentin, is a police detective and both daughters go on to be masked crimefighters.

* ''Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse'':
** The Koenig brothers in ''Series/AgentsOfSHIELD''. While they're all a little... [[{{Cloudcuckoolander}} odd]], all of them are high-ranking S.H.I.E.L.D. agents, trusted by Nick Fury to guard S.H.I.E.L.D.'s top-secret bases -- bases so secret that most S.H.I.E.L.D. agents weren't even made aware of their existence.
** Daisy Johnson's mother was the immortal leader of Earth's Inhumans, her father had the [[ComicBook/TheIncredibleHulk second worst]] temper in the MCU, and her half-sister's power was the key to saving Earth. She also considers all of Team Coulson to be her extended family.
** The royal family of Atalan all have powers and are trained to use them to fight, except for Maximus, who [[BadassNormal outsmarted them all]].
** All of the PRIDE families in ''Series/Runaways2017'' can be considered this between the mostly BadassNormal supervillain parents and their more heroic offspring.
** The Maximoff family in ''Series/WandaVision'', with ActionMom Wanda, ActionDad Vision, and their superpowered twin boys Billy and Tommy. Wanda also [[Film/AvengersAgeOfUltron had a brother named Pietro]] who was just as badass with SuperSpeed. This is especially exemplified in the ninth episode during the battle with SWORD and BigBad Agatha Harkness.
** ''Series/Echo2024'': Not only Maya here (who is as usual a very skilled fighter) but several of her Choctaw relatives along with her turn out to be badasses. This includes two female ancestors of hers we see, an athlete and later a police officer. Living relatives of hers include her uncle, a gangster like her, [[spoiler:while her grandmother and cousins briefly turn into them too fighting Fisk's men in the last episode]].

* ''Series/{{Smallville}}'' has two examples. The first is Clark and his extended [[HappilyAdopted families]] the Kents and the Els. On the Kent side we have BadassNormal [[KnightTemplarParent Johnathan]] [[PapaWolf Kent]], who will do anything to come to his son's defence, from [[DealWithTheDevil cutting deals]] with the Fortress AI, to threatening the BigBad with a shotgun; and [[MamaBear Martha]], a developing [[TheChessmaster Chessmaster]] later [[spoiler: outed as [[GovernmentConspiracy Checkmate]]'s adversary, the Red Queen]]. On the other side, there's his cousin ActionGirl [[ComicBook/{{Supergirl}} Kara Zor-El]], his scientist father Jor-El [[spoiler: and his clone]] who MinoredInAsskicking, and his MadScientist EvilUncle Zor-El, who among other things, helped [[OmnicidalManiac blow up Krypton]]. Then there's [[Franchise/{{Superman}} Clark]] himself. The other example would be the [[TheFamilyThatSlaysTogether villainous]] Luthors. Between BarbarianLonghair and MagnificentBastard [[CorruptCorporateExecutive Lionel]], his son [[ManipulativeBastard Lex]], a BadassNormal and EvilGenius who becomes Clark's {{Archenemy}}, [[spoiler: and illegitimate daughter [[DarkActionGirl Tess Mercer]]]] there's a lot of badass to go around.

* ''Series/Titans2018'':
** The Wilsons; the patriarch is world's most badass and dreaded assassin, the son is a HandicappedBadass who can BodySurf anytime and the illegitimate daughter is a [=McNinja=] metahuman with HealingFactor and enhanced physiology (SuperToughness, SuperStrength, super agility).
*** Averted by Slade's wife, Adeline, of all people; in the comics she was a military ActionGirl, and the one who trained Slade when he served in the army, before marrying him. In the show, she seems to be just a housewife.
** The Batfamily: Batman who is world's best detective and finest ''BadassNormal'' who can keep up against metahumans with god-like powers, and his adopted sons: Dick Grayson, former Robin, a CircusBrat who is the brave leader of the eponymous Titans; and Jason Todd, formerly a street kid who vandalized the Batmobile, now-the new more than [[BloodKnight trigger happy ]] Robin.
*** Barbara Gordon, who is an ActionGirl and a close friend of Batman.

* ''Series/Echo2024'': Not only Maya here (who is as usual a very skilled fighter) but several of her Choctaw relatives along with her turn out to be badasses. This includes two female ancestors of hers we see, an athlete and later a police officer. Living relatives of hers include her uncle, a gangster like her, [[spoiler:while her grandmother and cousins briefly turn into them too fighting Fisk's men in the last episode]].

* ''Series/DogTheBountyHunter''. That also have pretentions to RealMenLoveJesus.

* ''Franchise/UltraSeries'': Series/UltramanTaro forms the centerpiece of one. His dad is the Ultra Father/[[SpellMyNameWithAnS Father of Ultra]], the BigGood of the Land of Light; his mom is the Ultra Mother/[[SpellMyNameWithAnS Mother of Ultra]], a healer capable of even reviving the dead; his adopted brother is Series/UltramanAce; his son is Series/UltramanTaiga; and his cousin is Series/{{Ultraseven}}, who has a son of his own named Franchise/UltramanZero.

** The Koenig brothers in ''Series/AgentsOfSHIELD''. While they're all a little... [[{{Cloudcuckoolander}} odd]], all of them are high-ranking S.H.I.E.L.D. agents, trusted by Nick Fury to guard SHIELD's top-secret bases -- bases so secret most SHIELD agents weren't even made aware of their existence.

* [[Series/TwentyFour The Bauers]]. [[DamselScrappy Kim]] included after she [[TookALevelInBadass she busted a cap in a wife-beater and helped capture]] the BigBad in Season 3.

* [[Series/{{Alias}} The Bristows]].
** Also, run if you hear the name "Derevko".
* [[Series/{{Angel}} Angel Investigations]]. Much like the Toretto’s in The Fast and the Furious, Angel Investigations may not be a biological family, but deep down, they love each other very much, and take perceived betrayal as personal as you would take from a family. As early as season 1, when fixing breakfast, Cordelia gives Angel some blood in a container and tells him point blank “Don’t be embarrassed, we’re family.” Later on, when he finds out she’s in the hospital, he drops any and all pretenses of even pretending to not be in a bad mood. It’s telling that Kate, the former friend on the force, who previously had no problem pushing his buttons, backs off immediately upon seeing what a mood he’s in. This exchange sums it up pretty well:
Hospital Nurse: Are you a friend?
Angel: No, I’m family.

* The Adamas, both in ''Series/{{Battlestar Galactica|2003}}'' and its prequel ''Series/{{Caprica}}'':

** The Koenig brothers in ''Series/AgentsOfSHIELD''. While they're all a little... [[{{Cloudcuckoolander}} odd]], all of them are high-ranking Comicbook/{{SHIELD}} agents, trusted by Comicbook/NickFury to guard SHIELD's top secret bases -- bases so secret most SHIELD agents weren't even made aware of their existence.

** All of the PRIDE families on ''Series/{{Runaways}}'' can be considered this between the mostly BadassNormal supervillain parents and their more heroic offspring.
** The Maximoff family in ''Series/WandaVision'', with ActionMom [[ComicBook/ScarletWitch Wanda]], ActionDad Vision, and their superpowered twin boys Billy and Tommy. Wanda also [[Film/AvengersAgeOfUltron had a brother named Pietro]] who was just as badass with SuperSpeed. This is especially exemplified in the ninth episode during the battle with SWORD and BigBad Agatha Harkness.
* ''Series/{{Merlin|2008}}'' has Arthur Pendragon's family. Uther and Morgana are both shown to be pretty handy with swords, and there's Morgana's sorcery.

** Daisy Johnson's mother was the immortal leader of Earth's Inhumans, her father had the [[Comicbook/TheHulk second worst]] temper in the MCU, and her half-sister's power was the key to saving Earth. She also considers all of Team Coulson to be her extended family.

** Also the Volkoff family, including a multi-millionaire ArmsDealer, his daughter whom he groomed to inherit his company, and [[spoiler: [[NeverMessWithGranny even his elderly, gun-toting mother.]]]]]

** The Maximoff family in ''Series/WandaVision'', with ActionMom [[ComicBook/ScarletWitch Wanda]], ActionDad Vision, and their superpowered twin boys Billy and Tommy. Wanda also [[Film/AvengersAgeOfUltron had a brother named Pietro]] who was just as badass. This is especially exemplified in the ninth episode during the battle with SWORD and BigBad Agatha Harkness.

* ''Series/{{Garo}}'' has the Saejima family, though we only see three members; [[BadassGrandpa Taiga]], [[PapaWolf Kouga]], and [[NiceGuy Raiga]]. All three of them have inherited the armor of the [[KnightInShiningArmor Golden Knight]] [[TheAce GARO]], and are feared among [[TheHeartless Horrors]] for their well-earned reputation as protectors of mankind.

* The Queens from ''Series/{{Arrow}}''. Both Oliver and Thea became superheroes. 100% of your kids becoming professional crimefighters aint bad. Likewise with the Lances. The father, Quentin, is a police detective and both daughters go on to be masked crimefighters.
* The West-Allens from ''Series/{{The Flash|2014}}''. Father, Joe, is a police detective, Barry is, of course, The Flash, Iris, is an investigative reporter, and Wally is Kid Flash.
* Sam and Michelle Hanna from ''Series/NCISLosAngeles''. Sam is a former Navy SEAL turned NCIS investigator. Michelle is a CIA operative. Their son is a military cadet and their daughter is already eying the family business, applying to the same military academy as her dad and brother.
* The Lannisters, Baratheons, and Targaryens from ''Series/GameOfThrones'' all aspire to embody this trope, in various flavors and with various levels of success. The Cleganes, Umbers, and Mormonts seem to produce nothing ''but'' badasses. House Stark is full of legendary heroes, warriors and wargs. The direwolves are siblings and they're vicious fighters.
* [[Series/{{Supernatural}} The Campbell-Winchesters]]
** The Campbells are hunters of the Supernatural going back to ''at least'' medieval times and the Winchesters are BadassBookworm Watchers who have been at it for just as long. And both sides are direct descendants of the Nephilim.
** This includes those the Winchesters consider family such as the Harvelles and Bobby Singer and
** The Angels: Castiel, Gabriel and Annael.
* The Cartwrights of ''{{Series/Bonanza}}''.
* [[Series/TwentyFour The Bauers]]. [[DamselScrappy Kim]] included after she [[TookALevelInBadass she busted a cap in a wife-beater and helped capture]] the BigBad in season 3.

* [[Series/{{Chuck}} The Bartowskis]]
* The Reagans of ''Series/BlueBloods'', a family where every adult male member is either a serving or retired NYPD officer, with Creator/TomSelleck as ThePatriarch and current police commissioner. Oh, and his adult daughter is an ADA. When one of [[CowboyCop Danny Reagan's]] elementary-school-age sons asks if a robber would target them:
--> '''Great-Grandpa Henry:''' Are you kiddin'? He'll get one look at this table and run the other way.
* [[Series/TerminatorTheSarahConnorChronicles The Connors]]: Sarah (the ActionMom), Kyle & Derek Reese ([[LaResistance the resistance]] fighters), and John who becomes the [[FutureBadass leader of mankind]]. Then, depending on whether you consider them a part of the family, there are [[Creator/ArnoldSchwarzenegger Ahnold]] and [[NotBloodSiblings Cameron]], the reprogrammed terminators.

** Even Bill's father Joseph, initially a NonActionGuy, gets in on the action when he goes PapaWolf on a DragBar filled with gangsters that is standing between him and finding Tamara. The flashback episode ''The Dirteaters'' shows little Joseph Adama, killing three soldiers with a handgun, then performing a MercyKill on his father. The same episode has Grandpapa Adama describing the Adama [[BadassCreed family motto]] to Joseph and Sam, which amounts to "When we start a war, we end it. We don't quit halfway through". Thats right folks. The Adama badasserry is [[LamarckWasRight hereditary]].

-->'''Martin:''' Multi-millionaire. Decorated war hero. Wrote a spy novel. "Survived by his wife Florence - a former Miss Washington - and two sons, Joe, a Marine Corps colonel, and professional baseball player Mickey Crane." Nothing like starting the day off jealous of a dead guy.
* ''Franchise/UltraSeries'': Series/UltramanTaro forms the centerpiece of one. His dad is the Ultra Father/[[SpellMyNameWithAnS Father of Ultra]], the BigGood of the Land of Light; his mom is the Ultra Mother/[[SpellMyNameWithAnS Mother of Ultra]], a healer capable of even reviving the dead; his adopted brother is Series/UltramanAce; his son is Series/UltramanTaiga; and his cousin is Series/{{Ultraseven}}, who has a son of his own named Franchise/UltramanZero.
* Unlike most seasons (which only get as far as a pair of siblings), ''Series/PowerRangersMysticForce'' had a mother-father-son-niece combo of White-[[HeelFaceTurn Purple]]-Red-ally, an unrelated set of fraternal twin girls as Pink and Blue, and the Queen of Vampires and her daughter.
** And the origin series, ''Series/MahouSentaiMagiranger'', is a family: The main five Magirangers are siblings, Magimother is... du'h, [[spoiler: Wolzard is the dad]] and Magishine is their sensei/student of their dad [[spoiler: who ended married to Magiblue before the final arc]].
** ''[[Series/KyukyuSentaiGoGoV Kyuukyuu Sentai GoGoFive]]'' also had the entire team be siblings. (American counterpart ''Series/PowerRangersLightspeedRescue'' limited it to two siblings with dad as the team's mentor, and the brother filled a CanonForeigner role not in ''[=GoGoV=]''.)
** And let's not forget the very first all-sibling Sentai team, ''Series/ChikyuuSentaiFiveman''.
** While none of the team in ''Series/SamuraiSentaiShinkenger'' or ''Series/PowerRangersSamurai'' are related as far as we know, [[spoiler: aside from the Reds in Samurai,]] they represent the 18th generation of the group. Which means that there are five families that have been kicking {{obake}} ass for that long at the very least.
** The main five rangers of ''Series/ShurikenSentaiNinninger'' are two siblings and three cousins of the Igasaki ninja clan who battle {{youkai}} every week. Additionally, their grandfather is the Last Ninja who had defeated the BigBad before the series began.
* The Charmed Ones in ''Series/{{Charmed|1998}}''. They are sisters who fight demons on a weekly basis. One can blow stuff up. One can move anything. And the third can do kung fu.
** Then there's the half-sister, with various Whitelighter powers, including orbing (tranporting), healing, and other angelic/white mage-esque powers.

* The Argents on ''Series/TeenWolf''. Even (or especially) Mrs. Argent, whom we never actually see in combat, but who is consistently described by fans as the most terrifying character, in spite of being on a show about WEREWOLVES.
** What's left of The Hales, Derek and Peter. Peter is season one's BigBad, Derek becomes the Alpha after killing him.
* ''Series/Titans2018'':
** The Wilsons; the patriarch is world's most badass and dreaded assassin, the son is a HandicappedBadass who can BodySurf anytime and the illegitimate daughter is a McNinja metahuman with HealingFactor and enhanced physiology (SuperToughness, SuperStrength, super agility).
*** Averted by Slade's wife, Adeline, of all people; in the comics she was a military ActionGirl, and the one who trained Slade when he served in the army, before marrying him. In the show, she seems to be just a housewife.
** The Batfamily: Batman who is world's best detective and finest ''BadassNormal'' who can keep up against metahumans with god-like powers, and his adopted sons: Dick Grayson, former Robin, a CircusBrat who is the brave leader of the eponymous Titans; and Jason Todd, formerly a street kid who vandalized the Batmobile, now-the new more than [[BloodKnight trigger happy ]] Robin.
*** Barbara Gordon, who is an ActionGirl and a close friend of Batman.
* The Originals in ''Series/TheVampireDiaries''. Also doubles as a BigScrewedUpFamily

* Walter and Peter Bishop of ''Series/{{Fringe}}''. Walter's a genius, albeit not entirely sane, whose work is part of what caused the whole story arc of the show. Peter is equally smart, but also very street-smart, and he can fight. [[spoiler: Walter even traveled to a parallel universe when his son died to get a new version which apparently had to happen because Peter is the Destroyer of Worlds]] The Bishop family badassery has been fully expanded in Season 5 with the addition of a third generation (granddaughter Henrietta) and the whole family turned into outright resistance fighters against the Observers.
* ''Series/DogTheBountyHunter''. That also have pretentions to RealMenLoveJesus.
* While in ''Series/BurnNotice'' Michael Westen is the main badass of the Westen family, both mom Madeline and brother Nate occasionally show some badassery. [[MamaBear Especially Madeline]], who's gone from a chain-smoking hypochodriac to taking at ''least'' [[TookALevelInBadass three levels in badass]].
* The Teller/Morrow family of badass bikers in ''Series/SonsOfAnarchy,'' including Clay, Jax and mama Gemma, none of whom you'd want to cut off on a California highway.
* ''Series/{{Smallville}}'' has two examples. The first is Clark and his extended [[HappilyAdopted families]] the Kents and the Els. On the Kent side we have BadassNormal [[KnightTemplarParent Johnathan]] [[PapaWolf Kent]], who will do anything to come to his son's defence, from [[DealWithTheDevil cutting deals]] with the Fortress AI, to threatening the BigBad with a shotgun; and [[MamaBear Martha]], a developing [[TheChessmaster Chessmaster]] later [[spoiler: outed as [[GovernmentConspiracy Checkmate]]'s adversary, the Red Queen]]. On the other side, there's his cousin ActionGirl [[ComicBook/{{Supergirl}} Kara Zor-El]], his scientist father Jor-El [[spoiler: and his clone]] who MinoredInAsskicking, and his MadScientist EvilUncle Zor-El, who among other things, helped [[OmnicidalManiac blow up Krypton]]. Then there's [[Franchise/{{Superman}} Clark]] himself. The other example would be the [[TheFamilyThatSlaysTogether villainous]] Luthors. Between BarbarianLonghair and MagnificentBastard [[CorruptCorporateExecutive Lionel]], his son [[ManipulativeBastard Lex]], a BadassNormal and EvilGenius who becomes Clark's {{Archenemy}}, [[spoiler: and illegitimate daughter [[DarkActionGirl Tess Mercer]]]] there's a lot of badass to go around.
* ''Series/DoctorWho'' has The Pond family. Amy fights pirates and tells an army to be afraid of what's coming for them [[spoiler: and, in an alternate timeline, lead her own army]]. Rory is known as the Last Centurion, blew up a Cyberman fleet and generally kicked ass, also he punched out Hitler. And Melody [[spoiler: grew up to become a woman who makes Daleks beg for mercy]]. [[spoiler: And guess who is married into the family now...]]
* ''Series/{{Firefly}}'': The Tams. Simon broke into a high security Alliance facility to rescue his sister, who by the way can kill you with her brain.
* ''Series/MarriedWithChildren'': The Bundys are not afraid to kick ass individually or as a family. Even Peggy and Seven get their shots in.
* ''Series/AgainstTheWall'': The Kowalski cops. Don is ThePatriarch beat cop, Donnie is the eldest brother and a beat cop (later SWAT team member), Richie and Steve are the two other beat cops and the youngest sister and protagonist Abby is the InternalAffairs detective. Not to be trifled with.
* ''Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer'': Buffy and Dawn Summers. Buffy is a Slayer, kicking all kinds of vamp and demon butt. And Dawn steps up her game in learning to fight from Buffy. [[spoiler: Technically Dawn isn't really a sister so much as a clone but the mystics that created her from Buffy's blood implanted Buffy (and everyone else) with a full set of kid sister memories]]. Mother Joyce may be a regular amidst the supernaturals, but when Spike threatens Buffy in season 2 she goes MamaBear and floors him. They also have a badass extended family with Witch Willow, Vamps Angel and Spike, ex-demon Anya, Badass Normals Xander and Giles (who do save the day once or twice) and eventually [[spoiler: a whole gang of fellow Slayers]]

* ''Series/{{Merlin|2008}}'' has Arthur Pendragon's family. Uther and Morgana are both shown to be pretty handy with swords, and there's Morgana's sorcery.
* ''Series/TheBorgias'', upon whom Film/TheGodfather's Corleones are based. There's [[SinisterMinister Pope]] [[TheChessmaster Alexander VI]]; his MagnificentBastard firstborn, [[EvilGenius Cesare]] [[VillainProtagonist Borgia]]; his FemmeFatale daughter, [[SilkHidingSteel Lucrezia]] [[LadyMacbeth Borgia]]; and the mother of his children, [[TheConsigliere Vannozza]]. Juan doesn't quite count, but he can sword fight. Sort of. Don't bother with [[PutOnABus Gioffre]].
* ''Series/PeakyBlinders'' has the Shelby family. Three badass war-veteran brothers ([[TheDragon Arthur]], [[BigBad Tommy]], and [[HotBlooded John]]), LittleMissBadass snarky younger sister Ada, and EvilMatriarch [[TheConsigliere Aunt Polly]]. Even ten-year-old Finn gets in on the action.
* The Cooper's in ''Series/KCUndercover'', with ActionGirl KC, ActionDad Craig, ActionMom Kira and LittleMissBadass Judy. Being a family of spies, this goes with the territory. Its revealed to go back at least three generations to KC and Ernie's Maternal Grandparents, with [[RetiredBadass Retired badasses Pops]] and [[NeverMessWithGranny Grandma Gayle]]. Even [[NonActionGuy Ernie]] has his moments.
* ''Series/{{Grimm}}'' runs with this trope, every single Grimm is in someway related to each other, and they are effectively a race of [[TheDreaded greatly feared]] EmpoweredBadassNormal [[ProudWarriorRaceGuy Warriors]] and [[HunterOfMonsters Hunters]] who possess incredible powers such as TrueSight, SuperStrength, AdaptiveAbility and incredible [[OneManArmy combat prowess]]. They have been keeping Wesen under control for thousands of years. Their family stretches across the entire world and through the chapters of history. Their reputation is so great that all but the most powerful Wesen fear them (and even them either hate them or [[WorthyOpponent respect them]]) and its a reputation they can easily live up to. Even the members of their families who don't [[MuggleBornOfMages inherit there gifts]], still normally end up being an ActionSurvivor to deal with there inheritance. Every single recorded Grimm qualifies as having done something Badass or other. Going into more direct family we have Nick's Aunt Marie, who was still hunting Wesen into her [[NeverMessWithGranny sixties]] and ended up killing her own assassin while bedridden and dying of cancer. Kelly Burkhardt, Nick's [[ActionMom mother]] and the undisputedly most Badass character in the show ([[WorldOfBadass which really says something]]) Nick Burkhardt who has not only fought and killed several of the rarest, oldest, most dangerous and powerful Wesen, but has also unlocked several unique (or at least incredibly rare) [[SuperSenses powers]] of his own.
* ''Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse'':
** The Koenig brothers in ''Series/AgentsOfSHIELD''. While they're all a little... [[{{Cloudcuckoolander}} odd]], all of them are high-ranking Comicbook/{{SHIELD}} agents, trusted by Comicbook/NickFury to guard SHIELD's top secret bases - bases so secret most SHIELD agents weren't even made aware of their existence.
** Daisy Johnson's mother was the immortal leader of Earth's Inhumans, her father had the [[Comicbook/TheHulk second worst]] temper in the MCU, and her half-sister's power was the key to saving Earth. She also considers all of Team Coulson to be her extended family.
** The royal family of Atalan all have powers and are trained to use them to fight, except for Maximus, who [[BadassNormal outsmarted them all]].
** All of the PRIDE families on ''Series/{{Runaways}}'' can be considered this between the mostly BadassNormal supervillain parents and their more heroic offspring.
* What can we say about ''Series/TheAddamsFamily''? They seem to be inmune to pain and injury, expert swordfighters even as kids, even their youngest member Wednesday is a competent Judoka capable of defeiting a grown man, and they have an adult lion as pet; what more badass than that? Good thing they are pacifists though.
* ''Series/{{Banshee}}'': [[spoiler:The Hopewell]] parents team up to give a spectacular beating to some delinquents in season 3. Not only it's a rare scene of them fighting together but [[spoiler:Gordon]] holds his own against a much younger armed opponent.

* The Koenig brothers in ''Series/AgentsOfSHIELD''. While they're all a little... [[{{Cloudcuckoolander}} odd]], all of them are high-ranking Comicbook/{{SHIELD}} agents, trusted by Comicbook/NickFury to guard SHIELD's top secret bases - bases so secret most SHIELD agents weren't even made aware of their existance.
