History LeeroyJenkins / Webcomics

* In ''Webcomic/ElGoonishShive'', during the "Video Gaaaaaames" storyline, Grace plays as Adam Jensen and [[https://www.egscomics.com/egsnp/2016-08-06 runs]] into a fight in the style of the trope namer and ending up as a BandageMummy because of it.

* ''Webcomic/TheHandbookofHeroes'': In [[https://www.handbookofheroes.com/archives/comic/stupid-deaths "Stupid Deaths"]], just as Inquisitor is deeming that the bounty on a cloud giant doesn't cover the risks, Magus is seen in the background charging at its foot, rapier blazing with magic. The AltText lampshades it:

* ''Webcomic/ErikaAndThePrincesInDistress'' :

* ''Webcomic/{{Goblins}}'':
** The Chief is being tortured by the very scary antagonist paladin Kore, in order to bait the rest of the Goblin party into facing him. [[spoiler:Fumbles]] chooses that moment to [[spoiler:snap out of his HeroicBSOD]], and rushes to his Chief's aid, unarmed, against the paladin that the entire ''party'' was running from moments ago, screaming a battle cry as he goes.

* [[http://satwcomic.com/the-day-the-iraq-war-started The main page image]] comes from ''Webcomic/ScandinaviaAndTheWorld'', and is a single-panel comic directly homaging [[Machinima/LeeroyJenkinsVideo the original video]] with [[{{Eagleland}} America]] in the role of Leeroy. According to the comic's creator, most Europeans considered this trope an apt summation of the US' costly and ultimately short-sighted invasion of Iraq during UsefulNotes/TheWarOnTerror.

According to the comic's creator, this was more or less what most Europeans considered an apt descriptor of the ultimately short-sighted invasion of Iraq undertaken by the US during the beginning of UsefulNotes/TheWarOnTerror.

* ''Webcomic/{{Homestuck}}''
** Rose Lalonde shows increasing shades of this throughout the comic.
** John does it once as the result of some meddling on the part of the trolls convincing him it's a good idea. Normally he has enough sense to avoid it.
** Karkat doing this also had ''dire'' consequences, since he thought that the frog breeding in his session was taking too long. Turns out his impatience ''gave an entire universe cancer'' and directly resulted in his own session going OffTheRails. NiceJobBreakingItHero, indeed
** Vriska invokes this trope [[spoiler:in a doomed timeline]] by flying off solo to [[spoiler:fight Bec Noir]]. (Though the other trolls at this point did not have much of a plan for her to ruin).
* ''Webcomic/TheOrderOfTheStick'':
** Belkar Bitterleaf provides a near-perfect example of how a Leeroy can cause havoc.
*** He abandons his defense of Durkon and Vaarsuvius to fight goblins during the first battle with Xykon, and then later abandons Elan to fight the vengeful Yokyok.
** Roy is too brave for his own good.
*** Jumping on Xykon's dragon [[spoiler:only to fall to his death when the lich blows up the dragon being used as the fighting platform]].
*** There's also charging a half-ogre with feats designed specially to counter charging. [[note]] The repeat offenses were actually part of an expedient if esoteric strategy. [[/note]]
*** Jumping on the back of a slaver's giant beetle to rescue some slaves. Haley even lampshades the last example, scolding Roy for being so reckless.
** Miko has such a moment in [[http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0214.html "No Plan Survives Contact with One's Allies"]]. Subverted in the next strip -- she actually did have a genuine plan, despite her ignoring Roy's.
** Xykon is a genius and fully capable of forming plans, but he's very arrogant and gets bored easily, so he hardly ever bothers, preferring to rely on his vast power and army to overwhelm targets.

* Another ShoutOut: one of the [[TheUndead uncroaked]] warlords in ''Webcomic/{{Erfworld}}'' is named "Sir Leeroy Jenkins". Bonus: When Jenkins is destroyed in battle, Parson muses that "At least he has chicken." Not only that, shortly before then, Parson instructs the casters to have the warlords use a battle cry as he charges in: "LEEEEEEEEEEEEEROOOOOOOOOOOOY--"
%%* As this strip of ''Webcomic/CtrlAltDel'' demonstrates, the best thing to hope for is that [[http://www.cad-comic.com/cad/20080317 it handles itself]].

* As ''[[http://check.animeblogger.net/nanoha-gamers-index/ Nanoha GamerS]]'' is ''Anime/MagicalGirlLyricalNanohaStrikerS'' [[RemixComic remix]] as an MMORPG, this character type was inevitable. Here, the role was handed to [[CuteBruiser Subaru]], complete with "LEEEEEEERRROOOOOOYY JEEEEEEEEENKIIIIIINSS!!" BattleCry.

* One of the, let's just say they failed their psych examinations, CORE soldiers in ''Webcomic/{{SSDD}}'' being used to test the new augmentations is Lee Jenkin. He's a clone who grew at a normal rate so he's smarter than most of his [[RedshirtArmy cannon fodder]] siblings but that doesn't mean he's sane.

* ''Webcomic/KuroShouri'': Hisaki frequently jumps headfirst into battle, but specifically fulfills this trope in chapter 32 where he attacks a group of demons by himself, in an attempt to get stronger.

* Lokhar of ''Webcomic/BeardyBastards'', just as his comrades were thinking of an attack plan, [[http://www.beardybastards.com/comics/2012/07/17/basic-instinct/ charges ahead with gun blasting.]]
* Dizzee Jenkins of ''Webcomic/MyLifeAtWar'' has a reputation for being foolhardy and rushing into battle, losing at least one [[MiniMecha LIMB]] each deployment. After losing two in one particularly suicidal battle his boss informs him that his liability balance is so far in the red that it'll take him [[http://www.mylifeatwar.com/?p=440 67 years to pay it off]].
%%* What happened when some of the ''Webcomic/PvP'' gang teamed up with an [[http://www.pvponline.com/comic/2004/06/06/june-6-2004 outsider]].

* In ''Webcomic/{{xkcd}}'' strip [[https://xkcd.com/1112/ "Think Logically"]], an amateur TabletopGame/{{Chess}} player questions why a more experienced player is moving their pieces backward, arguing that since the goal of the game is to checkmate the enemy king, moving your pieces towards the king is the only strategy that makes sense. When the experienced player challenges him to a game and he loses, he blames the loss on [[NeverMyFault Chess being a badly-designed game.]]

* ''Webcomic/AnecdoteOfError'': This is Atshi Sonel's FatalFlaw, because of her desperation to prove that she is not a total failure. [[spoiler:The school is under attack, and everyone is told to make their way to the shelter where they will be safe while security handles it.]] So what does Atshi do? Run straight to the scene of trouble to try to stop it herself! Later on, she sneaks off campus and into an espionage mission in order to provide backup for her best friend, who is actually the one involved and who has a far better chance of making it out alive.
* In ''Webcomic/ElGoonishShive'', during the "Video Gaaaaaames" storyline, Grace plays as Adam Jensen and [[https://www.egscomics.com/egsnp/2016-08-06 runs]] into a fight in the style of the trope namer and ending up as a BandageMummy because of it.
