History BadassFamily / VideoGames

* The Mishima family of ''Franchise/{{Tekken}}'', especially after ''VideoGame/Tekken5'' and the appearance of old Jinpachi Mishima. Even Heihachi's ADOPTED SON Lee is a badass! As well as being a [[TheRival Rival]] to the REAL son Kazuya. Hell, even [[spoiler:Heihachi's bastard son]] Lars (from ''Tekken 6: Bloodline Rebeillion'' is a total badass hero.
** The Kazama count as well, and might as well be merged with the Mishimas considering Jin is a product of Kazuya Mishima and [[MamaBear Jun Kazama]]. Jin's cousin, Asuka, does a pretty good job holding her own, even owning most of the students in her dojo. And if you want to include non-canon, Unknown counts as well.

*** Frelia: Daddy King Hayden is a ReasonableAuthorityFigure ''and'' an expert at BowAndSwordInAccord, son Innes is a former ChildProdigy turned into both GuileHero ''and'' ArcherArchetype, daughter Tana is a PluckyGirl who evolves into a badass Pegasus Knight and prospect DragonRider. Associates include the Pegasus Sisters Vanessa and Syrene, StoneWall GeniusBruiser Gilliam and Staff Dude Moulder who can be promoted into [[LightEmUp Bishop]] or [[PlayingWithFire Sage]] depending on your choice.

* ''VideoGame/FinalFight'' had several generations of the [[LawyerFriendlyCameo Andore]] family of wrestlers working as enforcers for the villainous Mad Gear gang, most often Andore Jr. and the "regular" Andore which was [[AscendedExtra retooled into the character of Hugo starting with]] ''[[VideoGame/StreetFighterIII Street Fighter III Second Impact]]''. Later on, a specific cage fight sequence brings Father, Uncle and ''Grandpa'' Andore into the fray. Weirdly enough, each Andore looks ''exactly'' alike [[PaletteSwap except for the color of their leopard-print shirt and pants]] and the eldest are actually tougher than their younger counterparts!

** The Reeds, from ''VideoGame/FireEmblemTheBlazingBlade''. Patriarch Brendan Reed is a WorthyOpponent who founded his own guild of assassins, and a pretty nice guy, if something of an UnwittingPawn, when he's not burying an axe in your head. His second wife ([[MayDecemberRomance much younger than he]]), Sonia, is a LadyOfBlackMagic [[EvilMatriarch Matriarch]] who's up there with [[Manga/FullmetalAlchemist Lust]] in terms of [[EvilIsSexy sexy evil]]. Brendan's two sons from his first marriage are disciplined master Lloyd and BloodKnight Linus, loyal only to their father and his best killers. Finally, Brendan and Sonia have a[[spoiler:n adopted]] daughter, Nino, a card-carrying [[TheWoobie Woobie]] MagicalGirlWarrior with MagikarpPower. [[spoiler:And if we're counting her biological family, her uncle Canas is the resident GameBreaker, and her dead biological family were very badass spellcasters.]] Brendan's first wife's identity is unknown, but she was probably very awesome indeed.

** The main family line starts with [[LadyofWar the Boss]] and [[ISeeDeadPeople the Sorrow]]. They had an honorary child ([[FallenHero Big Boss]]) and a biological child ([[spoiler: [[MagnificentBastard Ocelot]]]]). Big Boss was {{clon|ingBlues}}ed thrice to make [[GeniusBruiser Solid]], [[{{Determinator}} Liquid]], and [[DarkMessiah Solidus]] Snake. Solidus raised [[NinjaPirateZombieRobot Raiden.]] Solid and his partner [[TheSmartGuy Dr. Hal Emmerich]] adopted [[ChildProdigy Sunny Gurlukovich]], daughter of [[ActionMom Olga Gurlukovich]] and granddaughter of [[RenegadeRussian Sergei Gurlukovich]]. Hal's own father, [[GeniusCripple Dr.]] [[OnlyKnownByTheirNickname 'Huey']] Emmerich, was the creator of Peace Walker, his grandfather worked on the Manhattan Project, and his stepsister Emma [[spoiler: made the AI for Arsenal Gear.]] [[spoiler: And his mom might be Dr. Strangelove.]] [[LongList Whew!]]

** If ''VideoGame/{{Bayonetta}}'' is to be taken into account, Eva, Sparda's human bride and mother of Dante and Vergil, ''was an Umbra Witch''. She apparently fought off the forces of the inferno once or twice herself. And speaking of Eva, if you want to get really hazy with genetics, Trish was made in Eva's image by Mundus. She's currently part of Dante's BadassCrew with him and Lady, sharing a brother-sister like relationship with the devil hunter.

* In ''VideoGame/TheKingOfFighters'' universe, we have the Sakazaki family (Takuma, Ryo and Yuri, and several other accomplished students like Marco Rodriguez and Robert Garcia), the Bogards (Jeff Bogard, who adopted then-street urchins Terry and Andy), the Howards (Geese and his son Rock, who'd become Terry's adoptive son) and the Kusanagis (Saisyu, Kyo, Shouji, Aoi, and to a degree Shizuka who may not be a frontline fighter but has [[GuileHero the wits]] and the [[BladeOnaStick naginata]] to [[ActionMom handle herself well]]). Also count family friend and Kyo's fanboy Shingo, as well as Kyo's partners Daimon and Benimaru).

** The main family line starts with [[LadyofWar the Boss]] and [[ISeeDeadPeople the Sorrow]]. They had an honorary child ([[FallenHero Big Boss]]) and a biological child ([[spoiler: [[MagnificentBastard Ocelot]]]]). Big Boss was {{clon|ingBlues}}ed thrice to make [[GeniusBruiser Solid]], [[{{Determinator}} Liquid]], and [[DarkMessiah Solidus]] Snake. Solidus raised [[NinjaPirateZombieRobot Raiden.]] Solid and his partner [[TheSmartGuy Dr. Hal Emmerich]] [[HasTwoMommies adopted]] [[ChildProdigy Sunny Gurlukovich]], daughter of [[ActionMom Olga Gurlukovich]] and granddaughter of [[RenegadeRussian Sergei Gurlukovich]]. Hal's own father, [[GeniusCripple Dr.]] [[OnlyKnownByTheirNickname 'Huey']] Emmerich, was the creator of Peace Walker, his grandfather worked on the Manhattan Project, and his stepsister Emma [[spoiler: made the AI for Arsenal Gear.]] [[spoiler: And his mom might be Dr. Strangelove.]] [[LongList Whew!]]

* The Yakumo family of ''Franchise/TouhouProject'' is one of these, although the members are all effectively adopted. The Scarlet family is comprised of very old, very powerful [[OurVampiresAreDifferent vampires]], making theirs InTheBlood. The {{miko}} Sanae Kochiya lives with her ancestor and [[PalsWithJesus Goddess she worships]] (as well as her roommate and fellow Goddess Kanako) as a family, as well. All three families are at PhysicalGod levels of power.
** Then there are the Komeiji sisters and their pets. Only one of them -- pet hell-raven Utsuho -- is at PhysicalGod level, but you'll still be taking your life in your hands going up against the others.

* John Romero and Tom Hall have stated that [[VideoGame/{{Wolfenstein}} B.J. Blazkowicz]], [[VideoGame/CommanderKeen Billy Blaze]], and VideoGame/{{Doom}}guy are all part of the same family, with Billy being the grandson of B.J. and Doomguy being Billy's son. The only gap in the badassery of the Blazkowicz clan is Billy's father Arthur, who is a talk show host. [[spoiler: How canon this is is unclear given B.J.'s shift into AlternateHistory and the implications in ''Videogame/Doom2016'' suggesting that the Doom Marine hails from an alternate dimension.]]

* In ''VideoGame/GoldenSunTheLostAge'', BadassNormal {{Pirate}} [[AsskickingEqualsAuthority captain]] Briggs would like to introduce Felix & Co. to [[TeamMom his wife]], his [[GooGooGodlike baby]] [[LittleProfessorDialog boy]], and his [[PlayingWithFire Adept]]-[[TheBlacksmith blacksmith]] [[NeverMessWithGranny grandmother]]. [[DefeatMeansFriendship They end up as allies.]]

* ''VideoGame/LeagueOfLegends'': As a few of the political powers (mainly [[ArchEnemy Demacia and Noxus]]) practise some level of AsskickingEqualsAuthority, numerous Champions have long lineages of Badassery. Known relations include Ashe and Tryndamere (marriage) Garen and Lux, Darius and Draven, Katarina and Cassiopeia, Kayle and Morgana, and Nasus and Renekton (siblings) Ashe, Lissandra and Sejuani are distantly related as are Sivir and Azir. Shen and Zed are adopted siblings.

** ''[[VideoGame/FireEmblemGenealogyOfTheHolyWar Genealogy of the Holy War]]'' could be defined by this trope. (Well, this, BrotherSisterIncest and GameBreaker. And occasionally ShipToShipCombat (No Really, that happens. In Game.))
*** The Odo bloodline is the most famous one, comprised ''entirely'' of [[MasterSwordsman extremely skilled sword users]]. It includes: {{Tsundere}} Ayra, [[FallenPrincess Fallen Prince]] Holin, FutureBadass Shanan, CuteBruiser Larcei, and Seliph's {{Lancer}} Ulster. [[spoiler: And in Thracia we see two more members, the insanely badass [[GameBreaker Galzus]] and his ActionGirl daughter Mareeta.]]

*** Ulir bloodline now. We don't really know if daddy Ring fitted in, but the eldest daughter Bridget and WhiteMage younger daughter Adean definitely do. Their kids (Faval, Patty, Lana and Lester[[spoiler: (and Mareeta, Briggid/Eyvel's adoptive daughter and resident GameBreaker of Thracia 776)]]) depend a lot on their dad's heritage, but if the Dads are the right ones [[spoiler: (Mareeta father is fixed, since she's from ''Thracia 776'', but her father is still insanely overpowered)]] they definitely count, and like Leen and Corpul they ''still'' are badass enough to help Seliph directly.

*** Frelia: Daddy King Hayden is a ReasonableAuthorityFigure ''and'' an expert at BowAndSwordInAccord, son Innes is a former ChildProdigy turned into both GuileHero ''and'' ArcherArchetype, daughter Tana is a PluckyGirl who evolves into a badass Pegasus Knight and prospect DragonRider. Associates include the Pegasus Sisters Vanessa and Syrene, StoneWall GeniusBruiser Gilliam and Staff Dude Moulder who can be promoted into [[LightEmUp Bishop]] or [[PlayingwithFire Sage]] depending on your choice.

*** Canas, his mom Niime, and his son Hugh. [[spoiler: And if we trust Niime and Canas's words, then Canas's wife was a pretty good anima spellcaster (Hugh inherited his anima skills from her) ''and'' she was Nino's biological maternal aunt, since Nino's dead mom Iris was her (Canas's wife's) sister.)]]
*** Other families would include the Lords families (Lyn, Eliwood and Hector, as well as their entourages) given who they can marry, and their kids. It applies to all Pegasus rider sisters as well (Thany, Thite, Yuno, and (in name mostly) Yuno's husband Zealot in the sixth game; Fiora, Farina and Florina in the seventh), and Karel's family (Karel himself, younger sister Karla, Karla's rival-turned-husband Bartre, and daughter Fir).
** Greil, Ike and Mist from the ''VideoGame/FireEmblemTellius'' Saga. To start, Greil was [[spoiler: RetiredBadass General Gawain]] who severed the tendons in his hand at some point [[spoiler: as self-punishment for accidentally killing his PluckyGirl and WhiteMage wife Elena)]] and [[HandicappedBadass yet still held his own]]. Daughter Mist is a pretty decent WhiteMagicianGirl (and notice that the Greil Mercenaries [[TagalongKid kept her out of the battlefield]] but she PluckyGirl-ied her way in) and [[MagikarpPower can go to awesome if well-raised]], and she's still badass ''and'' emotionally stable enough to [[spoiler: wield Lehran's Medallion aka the Fire Emblem ''without'' going crazy... like her MissingMom Elena also did.]] And son Ike is, well, TheHero and a freaking awesome one.

*** Aside of them we the have BrotherSisterTeam Geoffrey and Lucia, the long-separated sisters [[spoiler: Sanaki and Micaiah (though Micaiah's case ''very'' much depends on you]]), as well as [[spoiler: Soren's real family (with the physical exception of Almedha, but she was still no-nonsense enough). There's MagnificentBastard Ashnard, Almedha's brothers Rajaion and Kurthnaga, possibly Rajaion's lover Ena... and ''definitely'' the father of Rajaion, Amedha and Kurthnaga, King Dheginsea. (Oh, and Eda's grandfather Nasir.)]]

** ''VideoGame/FireEmblemFates'' takes it '''even further''' than it's predecessor. In the third path of the game, [[spoiler: it is possible for at least one pair out of the possible eight combinations of the Hoshido and Nohr royalty to marry each other and in turn have an extended royal family that fight together. And like Awakening, their children can fight alongside their parents, siblings, aunts/uncles, and cousins.]]
* In ''VideoGame/GoldenSun: The Lost Age'', BadassNormal {{Pirate}} [[AsskickingEqualsAuthority captain]] Briggs would like to introduce Felix & Co. to [[TeamMom his wife]], his [[GooGooGodlike baby]] [[LittleProfessorDialog boy]], and his [[PlayingWithFire Adept]]-[[TheBlacksmith blacksmith]] [[NeverMessWithGranny grandmother]]. [[DefeatMeansFriendship They end up as allies.]]

* The Seyfarth clan in ''VideoGame/{{Rosenkreuzstilette}}'' counts as quite a Badass Family: they've wielded the Demon Sword Grollschwert and the Devil Scythe Grassense and have been [[BloodKnight Blood Knights]] over the years, after all.

* The Mishima family of ''VideoGame/{{Tekken}}'', especially after ''Tekken 5'' and the appearance of old Jinpachi Mishima. Even Heihachi's ADOPTED SON Lee is a badass! As well as being a [[TheRival Rival]] to the REAL son Kazuya. Hell, even [[spoiler:Heihachi's bastard son]] Lars (from ''Tekken 6: Bloodline Rebeillion'' is a total badass hero.

** ''VideoGame/FireEmblemAwakening'' takes the trope UpToEleven, since in this game parents can fight along their children and even grandchildren. [[TheHero Chrom]]'s family takes the cake: if you marry the right characters and draw their whole potential, you can fill the entire party just with his family tree, and kick major ass!

* The Starlings of ''VideoGame/LollipopChainsaw'' are a family of zombie hunters. [[PlayerCharacter Protagonist]] Juliet is a [[TheCheerleader cheerleader]] by day, and [[ChainsawGood chainsaw-wielding]] undead slayer by night. Her two sisters are a [[DrivesLikeCrazy recklessly destructive driver]] and [[FriendlySniper expert sniper]], respectively, and dear ol' Dad can [[GoodOldFisticuffs punch things]] [[MegatonPunch really freakin' hard]].

* The family of Yume Koujou mascots, whatever their surname is supposed to be, in ''[[VideoGame/DokiDokiPanic Yume Koujou: Doki Doki Panic]]''.

* The Mishima family of ''VideoGame/{{Tekken}}'', especially after ''Tekken 5'' and the appearance of old Jinpachi Mishima. Even Heihachi's ADOPTED SON Lee is a badass! As well as being a [[TheRival Rival]] to the REAL son Kazuya. Hell, even [[spoiler:Heihachi's bastard son]] Lars (from ''Tekken 6: Bloodline Rebeillion'' is a total badass hero.
** The Kazama count as well, and might as well be merged with the Mishimas considering Jin is a product of Kazuya Mishima and [[MamaBear Jun Kazama]]. Jin's cousin, Asuka, does a pretty good job holding her own, even owning most of the students in her dojo. And if you want to include non-canon, Unknown counts as well.
** Kunimitsu has a husband and daughter that are also ninjas. The latter would even eventually become her successor.

** If we go to ''VideoGame/FatalFury'' we can also include the Kims (patriarch Kim Kaphwan, sons Jae Hoon and Don Hwang, and by extension: family friend Jhun Hoon; disciples Chae Lim and Jinju May Lee, recruits Choi Bunge and Chang Koehan), the Shiranuis (never shown but always mentioned leader Hanzou, granddaughter and star pupil Mai, disciples Andy Bogard and Hokutomaru, family friend Jubei Yamada), and the Heinleins (leader Kain, his blood brother Grant, and his nephew [[spoiler: Rock Howard]])
* ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'' do this a few times in their video game adaptions. The earliest being ''VideoGame/TheSimpsons Arcade Game''.
* ''VideoGame/DevilMayCry'' gives us Dante, his twin brother in blue Vergil, and their father Sparda who sealed the evil demons out of the human world.
** ''4'' introduces us to Nero, who is also said to hold Sparda's blood. He's either a distant relative or one of the twins' kids, with more than a few hints suggesting that [[spoiler:he's Vergil's son]]. Within the first five minutes of the game, [[DynamicEntry dude dropkicks Dante in the face]] and it gets crazier from there.
** If ''VideoGame/{{Bayonetta}}'' is to be taken into account, Eva, Sparda's human bride and mother of Dante and Vergil, ''was an Umbra Witch''. She apparently fought off the forces of the inferno once or twice herself. And speaking of Eva, if you want to get really hazy with genetics, Trish was made in Eva's image by Mundus. She's currently part of Dante's BadassCrew with him and Lady, sharing a brother-sister like relationship with the devil hunter.
* While the family is kind of screwed up, ''Franchise/BlazBlue'''s three main protagonists, Ragna, Jin and Noel are a family. The Grim Reaper, the Hero of Ikaruga and the Eye of the Azure are siblings. Several openings, namely the Chronophantasma Extend opening, show them fighting together. To make it even cooler, Ragna and Jin were inspired by the previously mentioned Dante and Vergil respectively.
* The Azzameens of the ''VideoGame/XWing'' games. You kill the patriarch and oldest son? Well, their youngest son shoots down dozens of fighters, fucks up half your fleet of warships, and blows up your superweapon while your Emperor's on board, ''[[ThisIsForEmphasisBitch bitch]]''. You don't want to know what the middle son, the daughter, and the family droid get up to.

* Desmond Miles of ''Franchise/AssassinsCreed'' comes from a long line of [[strike:Badasses]] Assassins, from Altair of the Crusades to Ezio of the Renaissance. The Kenways in particular consists of three generations of badasses.

* ''Franchise/FinalFantasy'':
** In ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyIV'', you have Cecil, strongest knight in the world, his girlfriend (wife in the ending) Rosa, the most powerful white mage in the world, his uncle Fusoya, alien master magus, [[spoiler:his father Kluya, who put the seal on the SealedEvilInACan, his brother Golbez, who could shrug off the most powerful black magic spell out there]], and the sequel puts [[SpinOffspring his and Rosa's son in the main role]]. Also, while you only really get to see Edge in action, he does come from a long line of {{Ninja}}s.
** The Beoulve family of ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyTactics''. Barbaneth, [[ThePatriarch the patriarch]] of the family, was so widely feared on the battlefield that even in the last moments of his life, his mere presence was enough to force Ordalia into a peace treaty with Ivalice. [[RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething Dycedarg]] is a brilliant tactician and no slouch in battle himself, leading the Order of the Northern Sky following his father's death. [[ReasonableAuthorityFigure Zalbaag]] is one of Ivalice's greatest commanders whose record in battle is rivaled only by his father and [[StoryBreakerPower Orlandeau]]. [[TheHero Ramza]] ends up carving his way through the demon hierarchy up to and including [[spoiler:[[SatanicArchetype Ultima]], their leader]]. Even [[NonActionGuy Alma]], the youngest sibling and only noncombatant in the family, is able to [[spoiler: force Ultima out of her body through sheer force of will]], as well as potentially learn a variant of [[spoiler: the Ultima spell]] more powerful than Ramza's.
* ''VideoGame/DragonQuest'':
** In ''VideoGame/DragonQuestII'', the three heroes - the Prince of Midenhall, the Prince of Cannock and the Princess of Moonbrooke- are cousins, as well as grandchildren of the Hero who defeated the Dragonlord in ''VideoGame/DragonQuestI'' and descendants of the legendary hero Erdrick of ''VideoGame/DragonQuestIII''.
** In ''VideoGame/DragonQuestV'', your player character is not just the son of a king and a saint, your very own children even end up fighting the forces of evil on your side. A nice plot twist in this regard is that [[spoiler: you are not the legendary hero destined to save the world, your son is.]]
* The Worzen family of ''VideoGame/LegacyOfTheWizard'', also known as the "Drasle Family." The grandfather, since deceased, [[SealedEvilInACan trapped a powerful dragon in a painting]], and his descendants (and [[TeamPet their pet creature]]) are the ones who make sure it gets destroyed once and for all. They all throw around magic; while dad can [[SuperStrength crush boulders]], mom [[{{Flight}} can fly]], the daughter [[InASingleBound can leap the entire height of the screen]], and their pet dog is [[TheDogIsAnAlien more than just a dog]]. Meanwhile, the son is TheChosenOne who can wield the sword that can actually kill the dragon.
* The Yakumo family of ''Franchise/TouhouProject'' is one of these, although the members are all effectively adopted. The Scarlet family is comprised of very old, very powerful [[OurVampiresAreDifferent vampires]], making theirs InTheBlood. The {{miko}} Sanae Kochiya lives with her ancestor and [[PalsWithJesus Goddess she worships]] (as well as her roommate and fellow Goddess Kanako) as a family, as well. All three families are at PhysicalGod levels of power.
** Then there are the Komeiji sisters and their pets. Only one of them - pet hell-raven Utsuho - is at PhysicalGod level, but you'll still be taking your life in your hands going up against the others.
* Some of the installments in the ''Franchise/TheLegendOfZelda'' series imply that this is the case with Link's family; for example, ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaALinkToThePast'' clearly states that he is the last surviving member of a family of prestigious knights.
** Also, in ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaFourSwords'' Link's dad is the head of the Hylian knights and towards the end of ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaTheWindWaker'', Tetra is [[spoiler: revealed to be descended from the original Princess Zelda.]]
** The Zora royal family in ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaBreathOfTheWild''. King Dorephan once took on [[TheDreaded a Guardian]] by himself, Princess Mipha was described as being without equal in combat with her trident, [[WarriorPrince Prince Sidon]] slew a massive Octorok from the inside after it swallowed him and was instrumental in helping defeat Vah Ruta, and [[spoiler:the man Mipha intended to marry before her death (Link) is the WorldsBestWarrior.]]

* ''VideoGame/DynastyWarriors'' gives us the Sun family: patriarch Sun Jian and his children Sun Ce, Sun Shang Xiang and Sun Quan are all formidable fighters. You could also count Da Qiao and Liu Bei by marriage, although Da Qiao is discontinued as a playable character as of the sixth installment. As for Liu Bei, his relationship with the Sun family goes pretty spectacularly to hell after a certain incident at Fan Castle... Since ''VideoGame/DynastyWarriors'' is based on ''Literature/RomanceOfTheThreeKingdoms'' which is in turn based on history, there is some TruthInTelevision to this one.
** By the eighth installment, the Shu also has its own, if you count that Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are sworn brothers. First there's Guan Yu's children, all capable fighters on their own: Guan Ping, Guan Xing, Guan Suo and Guan Yinping. Suo is also a BattleCouple with Bao Sanniang. Then there's Zhang Fei's kids: Zhang Bao (also sworn brother to Guan Xing) and Xingcai. And even if he was a SuckSessor in the original, Liu Bei's son Liu Shan has been more capable in fighting when he puts efforts into it.
** In Dynasty Warriors 8: Empires, you can either make your own character or pick one from the established cast, and enter into a campaign. You can proceed to romance any NPC of the opposite gender given they propose to you and are in your army. You will eventually have a child who is a mixture of both parents and can be saved to the game as a custom character. Said character can also be put into your army. Thus a husband, wife, and child can all enter into combat together on any mission.
* ''VideoGame/{{Bioshock}}'':
** While not a straight example, in ''VideoGame/BioShock2'', [[spoiler:Subject Delta and Eleanor Lamb]] become this in the end when you get the final plasmid. Which is called ''"Bring your Daughter to Work Day"''.
** ''VideoGame/BioshockInfinite'' has [[spoiler: [[OneManArmy Booker]] [[PapaWolf DeWitt]] and [[RealityWarper Eliza]][[LukeYouAreMyFather beth]]]].
* ''Franchise/SuperMarioBros'':
** Mario and Luigi, the titular Mario Bros., are the certified ass kickers of the Mushroom Kingdom. Their {{Implied Love Interest}}s Peach and Daisy are also shown capable of ass kicking sometimes. And if Wario and Waluigi are interpreted as their cousins, then they are part of it as well.
** Bowser's family. A [[RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething Royal Who Actually Does Something]], an OverlordJr, and seven additional co-horts that, although WordOfGod says are not Bowser's children, are still very tightly knit with the family.
** Rosalina and the Lumas make for an InterspeciesAdoption version. In ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBros'', the [[TheHighQueen Mother of the Cosmos]] and her [[RidiculouslyCuteCritter star children]] join forces to kick some ass.
* Two families in ''VideoGame/BraveSoul'': Rudy and his father, who are the best Hunters of their respective generations; also Claire and their father (and by extension Alicia), [[spoiler: who managed to re-seal [[BigBad Demon King Caraile]] before it escapes again in the game]] only to be finally killed by the combined effort of (depending on your party choice) Rudy, Alicia, and Claire. As a bonus, [[spoiler: in Claire's ending, Rudy married her, ''in effect creating his own badass family''.]]
* The ENTIRE Raglen family line can be seen as this in the ''VideoGame/RecordOfAgarestWar''. ''Five'' generations of the Raglen family can sure kick ass.
* In the Nasuverse, any family is this. [[VisualNovel/FateStayNight Shirou's]] TrueCompanions, and the [[VisualNovel/{{Tsukihime}} Tohno]] family both qualify. The latter also counts as a BigScrewedUpFamily, though.
* In ''VideoGame/GoldenSun: The Lost Age'', BadassNormal {{Pirate}} [[AsskickingEqualsAuthority captain]] Briggs would like to introduce Felix & Co. to [[TeamMom his wife]], his [[GooGooGodlike baby]] [[LittleProfessorDialog boy]], and his [[PlayingWithFire Adept]]-[[TheBlacksmith blacksmith]] [[NeverMessWithGranny grandmother]]. [[DefeatMeansFriendship They end up as allies.]]
** The Mercury Clan. Don't let the fact that they're all healers fool you; [[EvilGenius Alex]] is quite possibly the series' BigBad, and Mia ''frightens [[TheBrute Agatio]]'' while being ''nothing more than a stock WhiteMagicianGirl''. Mia's children show up in ''Dark Dawn'', one of whom we see and play in action and [[OneSceneWonder the other of whom]] we see [[EstablishingCharacterMoment telling that game's villains point-blank not to mess with her]]. [[spoiler: While it's debatable whether [[HeroicBastard Alex's offspring]] qualifies as "family"-- he's certainly [[WarriorPrince badass]].]]
** By [[VideoGame/GoldenSunDarkDawn the third game in the series]], all the previous heroes have settled down and now have families. In particular, Isaac married [[VictoriousChildhoodFriend Jenna]] and is [[HeterosexualLifePartners living with Garet]], making Matthew's family a "who's who" of some of the most important characters in the series.
* ''Franchise/DragonAge''
** The Amell Family appears in ''VideoGame/DragonAgeOrigins'' and ''VideoGame/DragonAgeII''. The Human Magi orgin was our first introduction to this family, and considering how GameBreaker mages are in that game... Then we find out what Hawke's mother's maiden name is, which adds both him/herself and his/her younger siblings Bethany and Carver.
** Given that their father was an apostate mage who apparently stayed one step ahead of the Templars his whole life, even with another mage (possibly two) as a child, the Hawkes count too. Making Hawke a melding of two badass families, [[OneManArmy which explains a lot.]]
** The Couslands, at least before Howe's betrayal, have been a BigGood in Ferelden for ''centuries''. A Female Cousland can eventually marry Alistair Theirin, unite the two lines and jointly rule Ferelden.
** The Theirins, the ruling family of Ferelden and RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething. Alistair is the last surviving heir of this family, his grandmother Moira started a rebellion during the Orlesian occupation of Ferelden, and his father Maric eventually won that war and regained the throne. According to the Qunari, [[spoiler:the Theirins are all [[ThePowerOfBlood Reavers]] due to Calenhad drinking dragon blood after [[DealWithTheDevil making a deal with Flemeth]]]], which might explain a few things (though how they know this is unclear).
** A villainous example exists with Flemeth and her daughters, who are all powerful apostates and shapeshifters. Aside from Morrigan, another daughter called Yavana is depicted in a comic tie-in, attempting to use [[spoiler: Theirin]] blood to resurrect High Dragons. [[spoiler: If the Dark Ritual is performed, Morrigan herself will give birth to child with the soul of an Old God, adding to their badass quotient.]]
** The Trevelyan family, which includes the human Inquisitor, traditionally gives its younger children to the Templars. They are also related to the Pavus family of Tevinter, which currently holds a spot on the Magisterium.
** The Cadash clan, which includes the dwarf Inquisitor, became intertwined with the Carta after they were exiled. Before that exile, one of the great warriors they produced was [[spoiler:Shale]].
* ''VideoGame/WorldOfWarcraft'' gives us [[MemeticBadass the Saurfangs]] and [[SmallGirlBigGun the]] [[GoodOldFisticuffs Crowleys.]]
** There's also Durotan and Draka's families. Durotan and Draka both openly defied super-powered demon warlock Gul'dan (in-universe the most powerful warlock to have ever existed), Durotan's brother fought an army by himself knowing that it was suicide and thought it was fun. Draka was born weak and sickly, but basically forced herself to become a badass and managed to attract the chieftan of the Frostwolves as her mate. Oh, and their son, Thrall/Go'el, is basically the messiah of two planets, Azeroth and Draenor. He's also the Earth-Warder (god-like powers over the elements, control of the earth, etc), the World-Shaman (most power shaman to have ever lived), and former warchief (basically he's a MagicKnight Messiah).
** The Hellscream family, despite their penchant for evil. Grom single-handedly killed a demon lord, freeing his entire race from evil. His son either bent the will of or convinced an EldritchAbomination into working for him, almost took over all of Azeroth AND Draenor, and was able to hold his own in a battle against Thrall (until Thrall whipped out his god-powers and smashed him).

* In ''VideoGame/BaldursGate'' ''Throne of Baal'', you, a Bhaalspawn capable of turning into an embodiment of murder, can team up with your half-sister Imoen, a decent thief and more powerful wizardess who also gains Bhaalspawn powers, and your BackFromTheDead half-brother Sarevok, the strongest fighter you can recruit. If you are a male and romance Aerie, she will be a PregnantBadass cleric/mage, a very powerful character if used correctly. Your late foster father Gorion was also a badass Harper who teamed up with the likes of Elminster and once fought and wounded a red dragon.
** Some of the main character's extended family can count as well. While a lot of Bhaalspawn are fairly average, there's also The Five from ''Throne of Bhaal'', a quintet of Bhaalspawn out to slaughter the rest of their kin and seize their father's power, and includes members such as a half-dragon and an invincible fire giant.
* The Seyfarth clan in ''VideoGame/{{Rosenkreuzstilette}}'' counts as quite a Badass Family: they've wielded the Demon Sword Grollschwert and the Devil Scythe Grassense and have been [[BloodKnight Blood Knights]] over the years, after all.
* ''VideoGame/SuikodenV'' gives us the Royal Falenan Family: Father Ferid fought on the front lines in a war and was considered one of the four reasons Falena won the war. Mother Arshtat bears the [[ThePowerOfTheSun The Sun Rune]], and can vaporize people into particles with merely a thought. The eldest child is the [[PlayerCharacter protagonist]], and becomes a military commander over the course of the game [[spoiler: and comes to bear the Dawn Rune, a powerful magical artifact]]. Arshtat's younger sister Sialeeds is a sorceress and political genius [[spoiler: who bears the Twilight Rune, the Dawn Rune's counterpart.]] Only Lymsleia isn't a badass with violence, although that could be because she's only ten. She is a political genius, though.
* In ''VideoGame/AlQadimTheGeniesCurse'', the entire Al-Hazrad family are quite the badasses. The player character is a corsair and plows through pirates, genies, sorcerer's dungeons and evil plots [[OneManArmy all by his lonesome.]] While your family is not playable, your elder brother Tarik is a corsair and Merchant Rogue himself, your elder sister Aliya is a sorceress who can fly, and your father and aunt are both accomplished sorcerers themselves. Only your mother is a quiet homemaker. Although she does command a genie, as does the rest of your family.
* In ''VideoGame/HyperPrincessPitch'', the family of the protagonist, a [[BloodKnight pugnacious]] princess who decided to become the personal nemesis of [[NinjaPirateZombieRobot Mecha]][[BadassSanta Santa]], her mother, the [[OddJobGods Goddess of Explosions]] and her father, the [[MythologyGag Bear Miner]].
* The Simpsons family ''definitely'' become this while on their quest to [[SaveThePrincess save Maggie]] in ''VideoGame/TheSimpsons'' arcade game.
* ''VideoGame/NekketsuOyako'', a Playstaion/Saturn BeatEmUp game, has this consisting of a [[MightyGlacier mighty father]] [[DamselInDistress whose wife has been distressed]] and two kids who are respectively an [[JackOfAllStats average assistant]] and a [[FragileSpeedster fragilistic daughter]].
* The Belmont clan from ''Franchise/{{Castlevania}}'' have whipped {{Dracula}} to hell every century without having to raise an army. Helps that one of them finally [[DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu DESTROYED DRACULA]].
* The Starlings of ''VideoGame/LollipopChainsaw'' are a family of zombie hunters. [[PlayerCharacter Protagonist]] Juliet is a [[TheCheerleader cheerleader]] by day, and [[ChainsawGood chainsaw-wielding]] undead slayer by night. Her two sisters are a [[DrivesLikeCrazy recklessly destructive driver]] and [[FriendlySniper expert sniper]], respectively, and dear ol' Dad can [[GoodOldFisticuffs punch things]] [[MegatonPunch really freakin' hard]].
* ''Franchise/{{Halo}}'':
** Captain Jacob Keyes is a total badass, and proves himself to be one of the best strategists and captains the UNSC has. His daughter Miranda is also a total badass and master strategist, but has some trouble [[WellDoneSonGuy living up to her father's legacy]]. They are both considered among the war's greatest heroes. [[spoiler:Catherine Halsey]] the former's wife and latter's mother, isn't a fighter, but probably qualifies due to her unparalleled brilliance.
** The Spartans aren't actually related, but they consider each other family, and they are the most badass characters in the franchise. Since the second generation of Spartans including Master Chief were created/raised by Catherine Halsey, they could technically be considered her children [[spoiler:and thus related to the Keyes as well]].
** In ''VideoGame/HaloWars'', [[BadassNormal John Forge]] comes from a family that has served in the military all the way back to WWII. [[spoiler:That may have been what allowed him to waste the Arbiter's sorry alien ass.]]
* The [=McClouds=] from ''Franchise/StarFox''. Courageous, determined, and they could give Anakin Skywalker a run for his money in starfighter combat.
* In ''VideoGame/RatchetAndClankIntoTheNexus'', [[AttackDrone Mr. Zurkon]] can be upgraded so that his wife and son can be summoned to fight alongside him.
* ''VideoGame/LeagueOfLegends'': As a few of the political powers (mainly [[ArchEnemy Demacia and Noxus]]) practise some level of AsskickingEqualsAuthority, numerous Champions have long lineages of Badassery. Known relations include Ashe and Tryndamere (marriage) Garen and Lux, Darius and Draven, Katarina and Cassiopeia, Kayle and Morgana, and Nasus and Renekton (siblings) Ashe, Lissandra and Sejuani are distantly related as are Sivir and Azir. Shen and Zed are adopted siblings.
* Johnny Cage, his daughter Cassie, and (ex)wife Sonya Blade in ''VideoGame/MortalKombatX''. Prior to the events of the game Johnny and Sonya were a pretty close BattleCouple who helped seal Shinnok and end the Netherrealm War and free the trapped revenant souls of Jax, Sub-Zero, and Scorpion from Quan Chi's dark magic. However because of Sonya's duty to the Special Forces (and thus becoming general), she was out of Cassie's life a lot of the time and Johnny was the one who raised their daughter (which eventually led to their divorce). Cassie joined the Special Forces as well when she was of age and Johnny is designated the leader of her squadron (which also includes Jacqui Briggs, Jax's daughter). The Cages are playable in chapters 1 (Johnny), 5 (Sonya), and 12 (Cassie) of the Story Mode. [[spoiler:By the end of the game things seem to be working out as Sonya and Johnny seem to be getting closer to being on the same page again]].
* Downplayed in ''VideoGame/{{Overwatch}}'' with Ana Amari and her daughter, Fareeha. While they're a rather small family, they're exceptionally badass, with Ana being an ace sniper belonging to the Egyptian army and the original Overwatch strike team, and Fareeha being a career soldier, equipped with experimental flight armor and a rocket launcher.

** Within the Creator/MachineGames timeline, B.J Blazkowicz gains a BadassFamily in the form of a SerialKiller turned resistance fighter (who wrecks a [[NinjaPirateZombieRobot fire-breathing Nazi robot dog]] [[GunsAkimbo with dual machine-guns]] [[FanDisservice while screaming shirtless and bloodsoaked]] - it's that kind of game). With her, B.J ends up with two daughters, Jessica and Sophia, who have become tough-as-nails ActionGirl Nazi killers just like papa by the time of ''VideoGame/WolfensteinYoungblood''.
* ''VideoGame/SlyCooper'' has the Cooper Clan, a long line of Master Thieves spanning back to even the prehistoric era. While Sly is the only active Cooper for most of the games (until [[VideoGame/SlyCooperThievesInTime time-travelling]] enters the mix), his family's history sets the background for all of their plots, whether it involves the [[GreatBigBookOfEverything Thievius Raccoonus]] that details all of their thieving techniques, or the [[TreasureRoom Cooper Vault]] that holds all the treasures they've accrued over the centuries.
* ''VideoGame/{{Bayonetta}}''[='=]s eponymous protagonist is an [[HotWitch Umbran Witch]] who goes around beating up powerful [[OurAngelsAreDifferent angels that look more like aliens]] using her own physical prowess and some help from the demons of Inferno and even [[spoiler:the series' equivalent of God]]. In ''VideoGame/{{Bayonetta 2}}'', we see that it runs in the family: [[spoiler:her mother Rosa is an Umbran Witch just like her daughter, while her father Balder is a Lumen Sage, the SpearCounterpart to the Witches, who takes on all corners with a two-pronged staff and a variety of elemental powers.]]
* In ''VideoGame/RuneFactory4,'' your child inherits certain abilities from [[RelationshipValues your spouse]] and certain ones from your character. Despite your child only being [[BadassAdorable 5 years old,]] they can still kick butt. If the three of you go adventuring together, you can even find a hidden area containing the materials needed to make the Dolphin Pendant--an equipment that makes your family's stats match yours, which, given the game's AbsurdlyHighLevelCap, makes them very badass indeed.
* ''VideoGame/RainbowSixSiege'' has the two [[UsefulNotes/PolesWithPoleaxes GROM operators]], sisters Zofia and Ela, and their father. Zofia is a {{Determinator}} with a customized GrenadeLauncher, and Ela is a GlassCannon who can throw {{Trick Bomb}}s. Both of them were raised by the former commander of GROM, and both of them joined it in his honor; Zofia to carry on his legacy, and Ela to [[WellDoneDaughterGirl posthumously earn her father's respect]].
* The ''VideoGame/{{Aleste}}'' series has the Waizen family. Three of them, Ellinor, Alice, and Luna, [[ActionGirl are all female]], and they're apparently a family of {{Ace Pilot}}s.
* ''VideoGame/CryptOfTheNecrodancer'': Cadence's mom, dad, grandma and uncle are all playable characters, and all are just as capable of kicking ass as Cadence.
* ''VideoGame/ValkyrieProfileCovenantOfThePlume'' has Reinhilde and Auguste Haughn and their children, Valmur and Phiona. All four of them are powerful warriors, but only two of them can join Wylfred's party -- on the B route, it's Valmur and Phiona because [[spoiler:Reinhilde and Auguste are killed in an ambush]], while on the C route, Reinhilde and Auguste join [[spoiler:after [[OutlivingOnesOffspring Phiona dies]] and Valmur [[BreakTheCutie goes mad from losing his other sibling.]]]]

** The Mercury Clan. Don't let the fact that they're all healers fool you; [[EvilGenius Alex]] is quite possibly the series' BigBad, and Mia ''frightens [[TheBrute Agatio]]'' while being ''nothing more than a stock WhiteMagicianGirl''. Mia's children show up in ''Dark Dawn'', one of whom we see and play in action and [[OneSceneWonder the other of whom]] we see [[EstablishingCharacterMoment telling that game's villains point-blank not to mess with her]]. [[spoiler: It's debatable whether [[HeroicBastard Alex's offspring]] qualifies as "family"-- he's certainly [[WarriorPrince badass]].]]

** ''[[VideoGame/FireEmblem:GenealogyOfTheHolyWar Genealogy of the Holy War]]'' could be defined by this trope. (Well, this, BrotherSisterIncest and GameBreaker. And occasionally ShipToShipCombat (No Really, that happens. In Game.))
