History Main / BadassLongcoat

* Riff from ''Webcomic/SluggyFreelance'' is a classic example. Usually, he wears a brown trenchcoat, but he's been known to [[http://www.sluggy.com/daily.php?date=020602 level up.]] His humanizing quirk is the tendency of his inventions to only ''mostly'' work, prompting his CatchPhrase: "Let me check my notes."

** Freya Crescent from ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyIX''. Coat, hat, [[BladeOnAStick spear]]. Talk about awesome costumes.

* Mr. R from [[BoysLove Boy Love game]] ''VisualNovel/KichikuMegane'' probably qualifies. The coat is in varying shades of black and tied shut with a belt piece. It also has a high collar that [[TheFaceless hides even more of this face]] than his [[KichikuMegane glasses]] (with their occasional [[ScaryShinyGlasses bonus points]]) and his [[PeekABangs bangs]].

* ''Franchise/CarmenSandiego'': The title character has that awesome red one!

* ''Franchise/CarmenSandiego'': The title character has that awesome red trench.

--> “One always overcompensates for disabilities. I’ve been thinking of having my entire body surgically removed. But until the day that happens, I’ll just stick to wearing awesome outfits; [[LampshadeHanging they make me feel cool]].”

* Helghast Stormtroopers in ''VideoGame/KillzoneLiberation'' also wear distinguishing black coats.

* ''VideoGame/WatchDogs'' Protagonist Aiden Pearce wore a knee length coat in all his outfits. The coat reappears as an unlockable outfit piece in the [[VideoGame/WatchDogs2 sequel]] after an episode in which he appears, though no other coats are available in that game.

* ''Fanfic/UnityFinmonster'': [[WesternAnimation/TheIncredibles Violet]] wears one as part of her new Ultraviolet costume.

->''Handcrafted fur and skin outer layer will keep you warm and remind wolves that they should keep their distance.''

* Aya and Yoji of ''Anime/WeissKreuz'' both wear long coats, but it's not until sequel series ''Weiss Kreuz: Gluhen'' that they upgrade to properly billowing Badass Longcoats.

* ''Anime/{{Pokemon}}'': Meowth wears a noir looking trenchcoat in ''[[Recap/PokemonS1E70GoWestYoungMeowth Go West Young Meowth]]'' giving him a mysterious, and tough look as he tells about his [[FreudianExcuse rough]] [[OriginsEpisode past]]. Along with his humanlike stance, it additionally helps to make him more distinct from the [[DittoAliens other]] Meowth in the episode.

* In ''Fanfic/TheNightUnfurls'', the longcoat is a common feature of the Good Hunter and his band of apprentices' attire, all of whom form a BadassCrew who kick ass with [[MixAndMatchWeapon trick weapons]].

* A couple of episodes of ''Anime/CowboyBebop'' feature Spike wearing a badass duster. Notably, he tends to go for the duster when things really get serious (usually when Vicious is involved), and mainly so he can carry more weapons. The BigBad of TheMovie, Vincent Volaju, sports a dark one as well.

* Claire Stanfield from ''LightNovel/{{Baccano}}'', in the anime he wear it with button closed, in the Light Novels he wears it open.

* Given the postapocaliptic ([[EarthThatWas on Earth, at least]]) setting of ''Manga/BattleAngelAlita'', it should come at no surprise how many of its Characters wear Badass Longcoats.
** [[BadassNormal Dr. Daisuke Ido]] wears a [[HellBentForLeather leather trenchcoat]]and fedora when going out as a [[BountyHunter Hunter-Killer]].

* [[BlackMagicianGirl Reina]] in ''LightNovel/DidntISayToMakeMyAbilitiesAverageInTheNextLife'' has a Baroque-era frock coat, which is black with gold trim and cut away at the front. It's a lot lighter than other mages' heavy robes, but still gives her the typical conical silhouette of a mage.

* Leonard Testarossa's auto-guarding coat from ''LightNovel/FullMetalPanic'' is a good example of one. It repels throwing knives and bullets by fluttering around for a bit while all you need to do is standing there with your hands in your pockets looking smug. It does not seem to protect him from bitchslaps however.

* The eponymous character of ''LightNovel/ShakuganNoShana'' wears a long coat that also doubles as HammerSpace.

* ''LightNovel/{{Slayers}} NEXT's'' Gaav sports a suitably badass orange longcoat.

* In ''LightNovel/SundayWithoutGod'', both Hampnie and Julie sport this. The ends of Hampnie's coat are rather tattered, while Julie's is in better condition.
* In ''LightNovel/SwordArtOnline'', when Kirito lands the killing blow on the first floor boss, he gets a unique item drop -- the Black Cloak of Midnight. He keeps this for the rest of the series, and it is one of the reasons he becomes known as [[RedBaron the Black Swordsman]].

* Abel Nightroad in ''LightNovel/TrinityBlood'' wears a black-with-silver-trim greatcoat that billows nicely [[spoiler:when he activates his Crusnik powers]].

** In ''Film/GuardiansOfTheGalaxy'', Star-Lord, Yondu Udonta, and the other Ravagers wear red, ankle-length coats.

* [[Series/TheMeetingPlaceCannotBeChanged Gleb Zheglov]] often wears [[HellBentForLeather black leather]] [[http://www.interfax.by/files/2013-05/20130508-181912-214.jpg trenchcoat]] and fedora befitting his role of a CowboyCop in the post-war crime-riddled Moscow. [[BuddyCopShow His buddy]] [[ByTheBookCop Vladimir Sharapov]] mostly still wears his army uniform, so is also often seen in the Red Army issue greatcoat.

* In ''Film/GhostRider'', Carter Slade wears a long black duster. The flowing-out-behind-him aspect shows up best in the "Final Ride" scene ([[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-dgWhYIDabk starting at about 1:00 in]]), and makes a striking contrast to Johnny's waist-length tight-fitting motorcycle jacket.

* The eponymous hero of the movie ''Film/{{Hellboy|2004}}'' wears a brown trenchcoat over black clothes as he does in the comics, though in the comics it's intended to help portray his average, blue-collar joe sensibilities.

** ''Film/{{The Avengers|2012}}'':

** MickeyMouse. Seriously. Also anyone else wearing Organization XIII's uniform. All of them and Riku and [=DiZ=]. You can purchase a [[http://abbyshot.com/products/ps-enigma.php long coat replica]] or a [[http://abbyshot.com/products/ps-kingdom-hoodie.php hoodie version]].

* ''Literature/AesirCrossWars'': Azrael wears one that looks rather priestly.

** Soma Cruz from ''VideoGame/CastlevaniaChroniclesOfSorrow'' duology has a white long coat that manages to be badass, especially with the pimp qualities. The 21st Century is obviously the era of Badass Fashion.

Going back even further is a coat called a [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Justacorps]] (essentially the long coats of the 17th and 18th centuries; think Pirates of the Caribbean) though it has to be worn a certain way to pull off the badass look.

* Mr.X (Tyrant 00) from ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil2'' is wearing one of these and he really looks very badass with that coat. the same can be said of Vitorez Mendez from ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil4'' and also Nemesis in ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil3Nemesis'', just to mention the three character have their coats burn off to reveal horrendous transformations.
* Albert Wesker in ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil5'' and ''VideoGame/ResidentEvilTheUmbrellaChronicles''. Both his spiffy black trench-coat and his entire tight-fitting outfit are completely [[HellBentForLeather made out of leather]]. He just [[CoolShades knows how to look cool]].

Going back even further is a coat called a [[http://webspace.webring.com/people/ma/ancasta1/French_justeaucorps_c._1690_Stockholm_Army_Museum.jpg justaucorps]] (essentially the long coats of the 17th and 18th centuries; think Pirates of the Caribbean) though it has to be worn a certain way to pull off the badass look.

* ''ComicBook/TheSandman'' -- Dream wears one. It's black, long enough to drag on the floor, and has a really great collar. It also billows strangely, regardless of wind or movement. {{Justified|Trope}}: Dream is a very dramatically inclined AnthropomorphicPersonification, and making his coat billow dramatically in the wind (even without wind) would be right up his alley. Depending on his mood, who's drawing the comic and which character is perceiving him, it can change into a BadassLongRobe.
