** Harry can only hold a candle to the true master of this trope, Sorcerer Supreme Stephen Strange, whose MO basically revolves around this trope. For example, how does he react to a council of {{Physical God}}s deciding that Harry is a threat and needs to go? To take the Tesseract (Thor gives it to him--he could've stolen it from Asgard's highest-security vaults, but that would've taken too long), bring them all to the Rock of Eternity, which is basically the ''ultimate'' prison, give them a BadassBoast, stick an uppity Zeus (a peer of Odin's for raw power), and tell them that they will either actively assist his plans, stay out of his way, or get stuck in the Rock of Eternity for as long as he pleases and still serve his plans as "gigantic fucking batteries." It '''works.'''
** In the same book, Harry Thorson sourly notes that while Magneto's teaching philosophy is "let students figure out what's possible on their own," Strange's is "ignore reality and it will ignore you."
** When Strange's apprentice Wanda Maximoff was a teenager, she was really into ''Theatre/WestSideStory'', but couldn't go to a live performance due to her PowerIncontinence at the time. Eventually, as a present, Strange arranged for their own private live performance. How? He called in some favours from the Sidhe, blackmailed some demons, and used Mindless Ones as the backup dancers. Note that Mindless Ones are Hulk-sized, rocklike beings with a single visor-like eye. The street took a little fixing afterwards, but apparently it was worth it.

* ''Fanfic/ChildOfTheStorm'': Harry Dresden, as per usual. Examples include killing a particularly tough demon by impulsively grabbing a high voltage power line and channelling the power through himself and taking on Gravemoss with a soulfire lightsabre. Yes, ItMakesSenseInContext. Somehow. And, of course, [[Literature/DeadBeat riding the polka-powered zombie T-rex into battle.]]

to:
* ''VideoGame/TheWorldEndsWithYou'': Minamimoto. Not many villains can claim to activate their ultimate attack by reciting [[MouthfulofPi pi.''[[MouthfulofPi pi to 150 decimal places''.]]
Added DiffLines:
* ''VideoGame/WorldOfWarcraft'' has its share of crazy characters scattered around the worldspace, but the granddaddies of all things both awesome and completely batshit crazy are: ''the entire goblin race''. To wit, Azeroth's goblins are your run-of-the-mill green midgets hopped up on intelligence-boosting [[GreenRocks kaja'mite]] which turns them into a race of {{Mad Scientist}}s. They put that mad science to work being Azeroth's premiere hustlers, con-artists and extortionists, as well as being the reigning kings of [[StuffBlowingUp stuff which blows up]] as well as some of the wildest inventions you could possibly imagine; [[Film/AustinPowers shark-shaped submarines]] [[ShoutOut with head-mounted laser cannons]] are just the tip of the iceberg with these guys. You can find a fair few topics asking why the Cenarion Circle, or the Earthen ring hasn't decided to turn on any of the goblin franchises because of the repeated, guiltless, and blatant environmental damage assosciated with the entire race. The simple truth is, '''They can't'''. The economy on Azeroth is ''controlled by said goblins. If they were challenged, it would ruin the '''worldwide economy'''''. And this is assuming the combined might of both Horde And Alliance could withstand the sheer number of resources the goblins could level at them.
* This trope is seemingly mandatory if you want to be a Demon Hunter in ''VideoGame/DevilMayCry''.
** Topping the list we've got Dante. Even the most cheesy and narm-tastic lines sound badass when spoken by a red longcoat-wearing, gun-slinging, BFS-wielding half-demon Demon Hunter. Anyone who can [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3UeC6a-GveU&t=6m6s defeat a horde of hellbeasts with half a slice of pizza in his mouth]] deserves to be listed here. And in the trailer for ''VideoGame/MarvelVsCapcom3: Fate of Two Worlds'', he fights none other than the equally crazy awesome ComicBook/{{Deadpool}}. Lampshaded by Dante himself if he beats Deadpool:
--->''"Sometimes you gotta out-crazy the crazies if you wanna beat 'em."''
** ''VideoGame/DevilMayCry3'' introduces Lady, a young woman who casually saunters straight into hordes of demons that can rip the military apart armed with nothing but MoreDakka, StuffBlowingUp and a BFG and comes out completely unscathed nine times out of ten. On the crazy side of things, while definitely one of the more stoic and level-headed Demon Hunters, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-sf5A2WSdks she still employs the same]] RuleOfCool-based combat style as the rest of the cast, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4vprzZl7Ww8&t=4m40s and that's not even mentioning her]] UnorthodoxReload methods.
** Come ''VideoGame/DevilMayCry5'', Nero has grown into his role as a demon hunter and puts as much enjoyment into the work as old man Dante himself, and his Devil Breakers, a set of mechanical arms with a wide variety of outlandish gadgets built into them, starting with ShockAndAwe Blasters and {{Rocket Punch}}es and getting crazier from there, allows him to do stuff like jump up on his fired Rocket Punch and use it as a hoverboard, complete with skateboard tricks for attacks.
** Nico Goldstein is a non-action version of this trope introduced in the fifth title, being a craftswoman taking the personality of a teenage boy from a 90's sitcom mack dab into the middle of the apocalypse, she's Lady's arms dealer and the inventor of Nero's Devil Breakers. And the weapons she invents range from [[TimeStandsStill the logic defying]] to [[NiceHat the outright bizarre]]. She's also the living embodiment of DrivesLikeCrazy, often driving her van to places that should by all means be impossible for anything short of an aircraft to reach in ''precisely'' the way you'd have to drive a van in order for it to reach said places.
* ''VideoGame/TeamFortress2'':
** All of the characters take ViolationOfCommonSense not as the exception but the ''norm''. This means they have inane ideas such as using a neon light underwater, punching people with boxing gloves in a fight to the death, beating people to death with a fish, death by icicle, ''hacking your own arm off just for a prosthetic you had no need for in the first place'', shooting people with a crossbow to heal them, throwing "[[RunningGag Yellow Liquid]]" as a weapon, using a hand grenade as a club, fashioning a rocket launcher, flamethrower and [[BuffySpeak Heal-Gun thingy]] from random household items, holding bear claws over your hands in a fight, and we're just grazing the list.
** Some of the background characters, too. Saxton Hale (head of Mann Co—"We sell products and get in fights") in particular. [[http://www.teamfortress.com/1308.htm One letter from him that has been seen out there]] can be, depending on which boxes are ticked, either "thank you for your submitted product idea, we'll get back to you" or "you bastard, you tried to steal from me, I'm going to hunt you down and beat you to death with my own bare hands."
** The Medic, as revealed in "Meet The Medic", is totally insane. [[{{Squick}} He performs surgery on the Heavy without anesthesia or gloves]], keeps a BLU Spy's severed head in his fridge, ends up [[ForScience giving the Heavy the heart of a "Mega Baboon"]] after [[{{Squick}} accidentally exploding the Heavy's old heart]], and, finally, when he's preparing to Uber the Heavy for the first time?
---> '''Heavy''': Doktor! Are you sure dis will work?!\\
'''Medic''': ''AH-HAHAH! I HAFF NO IDEA!''
* Max from ''Franchise/SamAndMaxFreelancePolice''. For example:
-->'''Max''': [[HeroicComedicSociopath Gratuitous acts of senseless violence are my forte!]]
-->''(He turns to face an unconscious man hanging by his chin from the bannister. Max [[CherryTapping nudges him off]] and he hits the ground with a thud.)''
-->'''Sam''': You're such an adorable urchin, Max.
* President Howard Ackerman of ''VideoGame/CommandAndConquerRedAlert3'' running on the Attack Dolphin party with the slogan of "Screw 'Em All". His immigration policy? Attack Dogs! Those without health insurance? He'll donate a pint of his blood a week to render your immune system indestructible! Special Interests? None! He's too busy serving the DirtyCommunists a steaming platter of shame with a side order of suck it. Vote for him if you want to live! [[spoiler: He's also a Japanese android.]] [[http://cnc.wikia.com/wiki/Howard_T._Ackerman And he actually got a few votes in the RealLife 2008 elections.]]
* ''VideoGame/PokemonColosseum'':
** Miror B. in ''Colosseum'' and ''XD''. Disco dude with an [[FunnyAfro enormous Poké Ball-colored afro]] and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WuhqoZvyntA this]] for a battle theme. And the first time you meet him in ''Pokémon XD'', he moonwalks in. On lifts. The Pokémon most associated with him, Ludicolo, is a pineapple duck with a rain-collecting hat that dances.
* ''VideoGame/TheSims3'':
** You can give your Sims the "Insane" trait, which lets them to do all sorts of hilariously ridiculous things, like fishing in swimming pools (and actually [[AchievementsInIgnorance ''catching'' fish ]]this way!).
** Similarly, the "Neurotic" sims get compulsive, yet easily fulfilled wishes (like checking the oven) which put them in a positive mood, and have access to a special "Freak Out" command which puts them in a "happy place" mentally that means that for several hours, their Fun need meter won't degenerate no matter what kind of stresses they're subjected to. Quite a powerful ability in the Sims universe!
* ''VideoGame/BaldursGate'': Minsc, especially in the second game, as his already-tenuous grip on sanity seems to slip further and Creator/JimCummings really [[LargeHam throws himself into the role]]. This is, after all, a character who believes in solving problems with swords, thinks "shirking" is a painful sharp thing you do to people who would steal nuts from squirrels, and gets most of his inspiration from a ''hamster''. A miniature giant space hamster no less. Who is mighty and wise and probably quite stringy.
* ''Franchise/MassEffect'':
** In the first game, upon seeing that the Conduit is seconds from closing, Shepard decides that the only option available is to gun the throttle, charge through a ton of Geth including several Colossus and hurl the Mako through a Mass Relay. Considering that Shepard has no way of knowing if either they nor the Mako could even survive the trip.
** [[AxCrazy Jack]] is stark raving mad and awesome enough to tear apart three [[HumongousMecha YMIR mechs]] with her bare hands (despite the fact that they are still rather difficult boss monsters individually at that point in the game).
* [[ImpossibleThief Carmen Sandiego]]. [[MonumentalTheft She stole the Moon]]. And Gandhi's glasses. And an entire peninsula. And an entire ''country''. And ''the letter '''n'''.'' And these are some of the tamer ones. And her motivation? She ''used'' to be one of the best detectives in the world, but [[NoChallengeEqualsNoSatisfaction got bored with it]].
* Cave Johnson of ''VideoGame/{{Portal 2}}'', CEO of Aperture Science, and a grade-A certified MadScientist whose inventions are both brilliant and ''hilariously'' dangerous. His finest moment, though, is his proposal on what to do when life hands you lemons...[[note]]"When life gives you lemons, don't make lemonade - make life take the lemons back! Get mad! I don't want your damn lemons! What am I supposed to do with these? Demand to see life's manager! Make life rue the day it thought it could give Cave Johnson lemons! Do you know who I am? I'm the man who's gonna burn your house down! WITH THE LEMONS! I'm gonna get my engineers to invent a combustible lemon that BURNS YOUR HOUSE DOWN!" ''And it's actually not out of the question that he did.''[[/note]]
* In a [[CutscenePowerToTheMax trailer]] of ''VideoGame/WorldInConflict: Soviet Assault'', the Russians paradrop a freaking ''heavy tank'' into a battle to [[BigDamnHeroes rescue]] a squad of paratroopers pinned down inside a mall. As someone on Website/{{Youtube}} commented, "only the [[MotherRussiaMakesYouStrong Soviets have balls to drop MBT off of an airplane]]".
* ''VideoGame/ChampionsOnline'' has one in the form of the lunatic Foxbat. Using a ping pong ball gun that launches custard pies, massive amounts of pre-chewed bubblegum, high exlosives, and the homing device for an orbitally launched ten ton weight (that says "Ten Tons" on it), as well as robot fan boys, he proceeds to: 1 ) Use voodoo dolls to mind control an entire clan of vampires as part of a bid to marry a Superhero / Pop Star, 2 ) Manage to get a time machine that (in an alternate timeline) required more power than the city's power grid to work to somehow work multiple times, grabbing cowboys, samurai, vikings, cavemen, and Roman legionaires to help fight fallen angels, and 3 ) Takes over a local TV Station so he can broadcast the Foxbat show, in "thrilling Fox-O-Vision". Oh, and lines he spouts when fighting you include asking you if you want to be his sidekick. Only Grond has become more of a meme in the CO universe than Foxbat.
* ''VideoGame/{{Persona2}}'':
** Michel in ''Innocent Sin''. He's a narcissist, to the point where he'll offer demons and even ''undead Nazis'' his autograph, and he carries around [[Film/{{Desperado}} a guitar case that turns into a machine gun]]. One of his other demon contacts, especially with other party members, is to put on an ''impromptu rock concert''.
** Then there's Baofu in ''Eternal Punishment'', who is a creepy guy with a perpetual smug smirk in sunglasses and a gold-colored suit. He never stops snarking at and insulting everyone around him, his choice of weapon is ''coins'' flung fast enough to hurt, and he can try to blackmail demons - and succeed! (Though some just think the mere attempt is hilarious.) Oh, and he's also on a personal crusade against the Taiwanese mafia.
* While most people in ''VideoGame/MonkeyIsland'' deserves a mention, Guybrush Threepwood, while appearing normal on the outside is crazy once you think about it (related to how the games themselves work), but he's killed zombie pirates by spraying him with root beer, he once locked a man in a coffin (which he sold, used) to steal a key, he took instructions to complete a maze by listening to his dead parents singing it to him in a dream, he purposely drank poison to kill himself, then coming back to life to claim a life-insurance all while [[KleptomaniacHero stealing]] just about anything he could see.
* ''VisualNovel/HatofulBoyfriend'':
** Oko San is a super-fast track star pigeon who's completely obsessed with finding the perfect pudding that will awaken the pudding god and banish sadness forever. No really; he accomplishes ''exactly'' that in one of his endings where he becomes the pudding god himself and turns the entire world into gooey happy pudding.
** And then there's Anghel Higure, a bleeding-heart bird who proclaims himself to be a [[FallenAngel fallen servant of God]] and the heroine to be his reincarnated lover who sealed him away eons ago, [[DynamicEntry enters through glass windows instead of doors]], and treats everything around him like some grand battle to be fought or some vile thing containing demon spores that must be eradicated to the tune of epic battle music. No one's quite sure [[WhatDoYouMeanItWasntMadeOnDrugs what this bird is doped up on]], but whatever it is, it's ''awesome''. [[spoiler: A side comment from Bad Boys Love says that Anghel's body secretes hallucinogenic pheromones that [[RequiredSecondaryPowers Anghel himself is not resistant to]].]] In fact, Anghel Higure's route is the only one in which [[spoiler: Dr. Shuu is actually ''defeated''; all the other routes have you escaping his attentions (knowingly or no) or getting murdered]].
* ''VideoGame/RealmOfTheMadGod'' has Oryx, the titular mad god and a DrunkenMaster, at least according to fanon. His exploits include taking pity on orphaned drakes by turning them into trees, creating the recursive MookMaker [[OddJobGods Cube God]], and reanimating his own puke (okay, it's bile, but you get the idea) to battle you if you trespass in his wine cellar.
* ''VideoGame/MetalGear'':
** Snake went up against a tank with grenades, alone, and winning, and not finding that remotely unusual. However, amongst other things, Snake has punched a man dressed entirely in metal plates, identified a female soldier by stalking her until she needed to use the bathroom, grabbed a statue's penis, deliberately enticed a wolf to pee on him to disguise his scent, blown up a rat with industrial explosives, disguised himself as a woman, disguised himself as a corpse, shot a bunch of hamsters with a machine gun, shook a woman to death using a psychic puppet, and hatched an owl from an egg to use its hoots to convince a guard that it was nighttime. Big Boss has murdered people with a fork, recharged his batteries by eating glowing mushrooms, disguised himself as a {{bishounen}}, an androgynous Japanese diety, a zombie, a monkey and a crocodile, and defeated enemies by tying them to helium balloons.
** Those times when [[VideoGame/MetalGearSolidPeaceWalker Big Boss held up an entire camp of soldiers]]... [[WithThisHerring With a banana]].
** Many bosses also qualify:
*** [[MadBomber Fat]][[VideoGame/MetalGearSolid2 man]], a bomb-slinging man in an oversized flak jacket who rides around on ''rollerskates.''
*** The soldier who fights while covered in bees and grows special bullet hornets in his body.
*** The cowboy-wannabe Speztnaz officer who fends off a horde of Baltic hornets by twirling his revolvers around.
*** The century-old veteran sniper who is part ''plant'' (and is even able to photosynthesise) and uses a tricked-out dart rifle because he wants to be a mentor to the guy who will inevitably kill him
*** [[VideoGame/MetalGearRisingRevengeance The US Senator so jacked up by nanomachines he can block a vibro-katana with his bare forearms]]?
* ''Franchise/StreetFighter'':
** ''[[VideoGame/StreetFighterIV Super Street Fighter IV]]'' gives us [[ChaoticEvil Juri]] [[EvilIsSexy Han]]. A [[KickChick Tae Kwon Do]] fighter who joins the tournament simply [[ForTheEvulz because]] [[BloodKnight she's bored]], and is nothing short of [[AxCrazy f'in insane]], as is evidenced in her ending, when she [[spoiler:overthrows [[PhlebotinumRebel Seth]] and takes over S.I.N]]. She also delivers classic villain lines such as [[DeathCryEcho "I'll have my]] [[WeWillMeetAgain reveeeennnnnggggggeee"!]] when she loses, which is nothing short of hilarious. She tones it down a bit in ''VideoGame/StreetFighterV'', though she's still plenty sadistic.
** Also from ''SSFIV'', Hakan. A blue-haired, ''[[AmazingTechnicolorPopulation red-skinned]]'' Turklish oil wrestler who lugs around a gigantic barrel of said oil with him everywhere he goes (think [[Manga/{{Naruto}} Gaara's giant gourd of sand]]), which he then proceeds to ''dump on himself at the beginning of every match''. His moveset revolves around using his oily body to slide around the arena, and one of his [[DesperationAttack Ultras]] has him almost literally ''launching you out of his ass''. His motives for joining the tournament are no less crazy. While most of the others are there to defeat a rival, destroy the world or some other dastardly plot, Hakan simply wants to travel the world to find the best olive oil. He's stated to be a multi-billion dollar Olive Oil Tycoon, so he could have done it without travelling the world beating people up. He also has a hot wife with 7 daughters he loves very much.
** With Season 3 of ''VideoGame/StreetFighterV'' came G, the self-proclaimed "President of Earth." Capcom decided to make their equivalent of Uncle Sam a [[LargeHam hammy]] AttentionWhore [[note]]he ''waves at the screen'' while striding forward[[/note]] with control over gold and magma who constantly proclaims the unity of mankind while striking all manner of poses in-battle, cultminating in his [[LimitBreak Critical Art]], [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IeeqIqE7aGI Pangaea Burst,]] having G pull the classic UncleSamWantsYou [[GivingSomeoneThePointerFinger pose]] as multiple bursts of lava immolate his foe. ("Light it up.") One of his special moves, Message to the People, consists of G giving [[RousingSpeech a rehearsed presidential address]]--[[PracticalTaunt and it charges his Critical Gauge]] [[MundaneMadeAwesome as long as he speaks]]. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OfKnCBNSssQ It even comes in three different variations!]]
* ''Franchise/TheElderScrolls'':
** Sheogorath, the series' [[OurGodsAreDifferent Daedric Prince]] of [[MadGod Madness]]. To note:
*** His quests in ''Morrowind'' and ''[[VideoGame/TheElderScrollsIVOblivion Oblivion]]'' respectively involve killing a [[LivingGasbag giant floating cattle-like jellyfish]] with a [[JokeItem cursed fork]] and fulfilling a prophecy involving stinky cheese and burning dog corpses raining from the sky, respectively.
--->"I once dug a pit and filled it with clouds... or was it clowns... come to think of it, it began to smell... must have been clowns. Clouds don't smell, they taste of butter. And tears."\\
"Time for a celebration! Cheese for everyone! Wait, scratch that, cheese for no one. That can be just as much of a celebration, if you don't like cheese. True?"\\
"I'm so happy, I could rip out your intestines and strangle you with them!"
*** In ''The Shivering Isles'' expansion for ''Oblivion'', attacking him causes him to paralyze the player, before teleporting them about a thousand feet over the island. If you can actually ''find'' the area he teleported you to, you find a man who was similarly executed... for the great crime of having a ''mustache''. Of course, this ''is'' the realm of a MadGod.
** In ''[[VideoGame/TheElderScrollsIIIMorrowind Morrowind]]'', Divayth Fyr is considered this, due to him being a [[ReallySevenHundredYearsOld 4,000 year old]] wizard, the highest level NPC in the vanilla game, a collector of both [[OurDwarvesAreAllTheSame Dwemer]] artifacts as well as artifacts associated with the "Battlespire" event, and an eccentric genius who surrounds himself with OppositeSexClone wives/daughters, diseased zombie-esque maniacs, and [[spoiler:the last living Dwarf]]. He left the council of [[TheClan Great House]] [[TheMagocracy Telvanni]] and the [[MagicalSociety Psijic]] [[TheOrder Order]] in order to run his Corprusarium (a refuge for the aforementioned diseased zombie-esque maniacs) while also working on a cure for the disease, which he finds...sort of. (It only works on the PlayerCharacter, and also isn't really a "cure", as the PC still has the disease. It simply removes the negative effects, leaving the PC with the positive effects of being TheAgeless and IdealIllnessImmunity.) He would even become the unofficial mascot of the ''Elder Scrolls'' lore community for a time on the official forums.
--> ''"Good. Open your mouth, and close your eyes..." Continue "Good. Now swallow... Goodness... Good grief! Look! Look! It's... WORKING!" Continue [Disposition +10.] "Remarkable. Let me check your skin... your eyes... your tongue.... Amazing. I think it worked. No sign of the disease at all. Of course, you still have corprus disease, just like I planned. But all your symptoms are gone. Marvelous. I'll go try it out on some of the more desperate inmates..."''
** Cicero in ''[[VideoGame/TheElderScrollsVSkyrim Skyrim]]'' doubles as this and CreepyAwesome. Despite dressing as a jester and coming across as nuttier than Sheogorath, his insanity belies the fact that he's a highly skilled assassin of the Dark Brotherhood. The advantages of this are obvious - in fact, [[spoiler:in the Brotherhood questline, he uses his theatricality to pull a Wounded Gazelle Gambit ''and'' a Xanatos Gambit simultaneously. After he completely snaps and you're tasked with hunting him down, he pretends to be dying to make you either leave him alone or drop your guard trying to finish him off.]]
--->'''Cicero:''' [[spoiler:Haha! Behold the final trick of the Fool of Hearts! You think me near death? Haha! Think again.]]
* ''VideoGame/TalesSeries'':
** Anise Tatlin from ''VideoGame/TalesOfTheAbyss'' has the crazy awesome fighting style of riding on the back a giant, animated teddy bear, which then proceeds to plow enemies into the ground like it's nothing. '''HOLY SHIT.'''
** King Richard of Windor - Badass with a sword, King of a major nation, [[DudeLooksLikeALady extremely pretty]]...also [[spoiler: possessed by a space demon EnergyBeing and]] totally hell-bent on essentially destroying the planet. Watch any anime cutscene from ''VideoGame/TalesOfGraces'' and tell us he's no badass...then watch his infamous [[MemeticMutation TOMODACHIII HUAAAARGH]] breakdown and tell us he's not ''nucking futs.''
* ''VideoGame/{{Borderlands}}'':
** Patricia Tannis. She leaves a series of recordings you can listen to, following her quick descent into various forms of madness. For example, after killing an intruder, she then comes up with an entire backstory and name for him out of starvation for human contact. All this after a [[CargoShip rocky relationship with her personal audio recorder]]? Also, she was the person to actually discover the location of the Vault?
** Mister Torgue High-Five Flexington. The man is a genius weapons engineer...because of his obsession with StuffBlowingUp and severe TestosteronePoisoning. His company's best-known inventions include the [[GameBreaker Unkempt Harold]], which fires exploding bullets that split into more exploding bullets, and the [=KerBlaster=], a gun with bullets that drop grenades on impact.
** Gaige's effectiveness is predicated entirely on mad science. For example, her Action Skill only works because she ''sawed off her own arm'' and replaced it with a cybernetic one. That she built ''after the amputation''.
** Krieg. Two of his skill trees are "run around with your shields down hitting people with your buzz axe" and "be [[IncendiaryExponent ON FIRE]] as often as possible". The latter allows him to set himself on fire by setting ''other people'' on fire, with an upgrade at about level 15 that lets you ignite yourself with any elemental damage effect. The name of this upgrade? Delusional Damage. He also has lengthy arguments with the voice of his sane self in his head and [[TalkativeLoon yells non-sequiturs constantly]].
--->'''Krieg:''' I'M THE CONDUCTOR OF THE POOP TRAIN!
* VideoGame/GrandTheftAutoV has Trevor Phillips, quite possibly the most AxCrazy protagonist in the series' history. There is nothing Trevor won't do to his achieve his goals. Whether it be crashing a crop duster into the bay of a cargo plane (while still in flight!), or jumping atop a speeding train with a dirt bike, and crashing said train with another, Trevor's unhinged antics provide some of the game's most [[Awesome/GrandTheftAutoV Awesome Moments]]. But this ends up being a SubvertedTrope for the most part, as Trevor's hairbrained schemes always end with him [[CantGetAwayWithNuthin getting screwed out of any profit]] or [[RoaringRampageOfRevenge pissing people off enough to want him dead]].
* ''VideoGame/GuiltyGear'':
** [[MadDoctor Faust]] (formerly Dr. Baldhead) He's nucking futs, even after his HeelFaceTurn. Turning into a baseball player, swimming through air, attacking you with a giant scalpel, and implanting a nuke on you, all while trying to [[TheAtoner save the world]]. Gotta love him.
** Also Slayer, the dandy vampire whose [[OneHitKill Instant Kill]] involves ''punching you to a different galaxy '''using only the power of haiku'''.''
* ''VideoGame/BlazBlue'': Terumi Yuuki. [[AxCrazy Candy-flavoured]] zombie Jesus [[GeniusBruiser on a]] ''[[MagnificentBastard stick]]'', Terumi! He is a FallenHero who has decided to [[RageAgainstTheHeavens kill God]] and [[ToCreateAPlaygroundForEvil Create a Playground For Evil]], and to that end he initiated a GroundhogDayLoop that has pretty much destroyed the world some 700+ times over, and when finally someone who might actually be a threat to him and his plans appears, or even someone who ISN'T a threat appears, what does he do? He ''{{Troll}}s'' them.
* Father Grigori from ''VideoGame/HalfLife2''; a BadassPreacher armed with a shotgun, holed up in the zombie-infested city of Ravenholm, where he's not only survived against the monstrous hordes, but also built several traps to kill said hordes easier on his own. Including at least three cars suspended in the air that are bound by nothing more than a few ropes, that act as falling anvils of death. The "crazy" part comes from the fact that he views the zombies as his congregation, considers shooting them in the head their salvation (he's not wrong there, though), and seems to genuinely care about them.
* [[VideoGame/AlphaProtocol Steven Heck]]. It's not the fact that he's willing to torture his employees to find his car keys. It's not the insane conspiracy theories. Its not the penchant for fire, or [[WordSaladTitle the funny names he gives his operations]], and or his capacity for use of the ImprovisedWeapon (including decapiting people with soccer balls). No, it's the fact that he [[spoiler:[[CrazyPrepared welded a minigun onto a subway car and strafed a subway terminal when Mike Thorton hired him to play fire support.]]]] He's a fun guy.
* In ''VideoGame/JustCause'', [[DashingHispanic Rico Rodriguez]] has this as part of his job description. Part of the ''tutorial'' for the second game involves a carsurfing gunfight and two fights against helicopters with only his pistols and [[GrapplingHookPistol Grappling Hook Gauntlet]]. The hook itself allows for absolutely insane things (such as strapping a bad guy to a passing jumbo jet). The craziness keeps ramping up throughout the story, including a fights against an [[AwesomePersonnelCarrier APC]] and a KillSat.
* This trope is seemingly mandatory if you want to be a Demon Hunter in ''VideoGame/DevilMayCry''.
** Topping the list we've got Dante. Even the most cheesy and narm-tastic lines sound badass when spoken by a red longcoat-wearing, gun-slinging, BFS-wielding half-demon Demon Hunter. Anyone who can [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3UeC6a-GveU&t=6m6s defeat a horde of hellbeasts with half a slice of pizza in his mouth]] deserves to be listed here. And in the trailer for ''VideoGame/MarvelVsCapcom3: Fate of Two Worlds'', he fights none other than the equally crazy awesome ComicBook/{{Deadpool}}. Lampshaded by Dante himself if he beats Deadpool:
--->''"Sometimes you gotta out-crazy the crazies if you wanna beat 'em."''
** ''VideoGame/DevilMayCry3'' introduces Lady, a young woman who casually saunters straight into hordes of demons that can rip the military apart armed with nothing but MoreDakka, StuffBlowingUp and a BFG and comes out completely unscathed nine times out of ten. On the crazy side of things, while definitely one of the more stoic and level-headed Demon Hunters, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-sf5A2WSdks she still employs the same]] RuleOfCool-based combat style as the rest of the cast, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4vprzZl7Ww8&t=4m40s and that's not even mentioning her]] UnorthodoxReload methods.
** Come ''VideoGame/DevilMayCry5'', Nero has grown into his role as a demon hunter and puts as much enjoyment into the work as old man Dante himself, and his Devil Breakers, a set of mechanical arms with a wide variety of outlandish gadgets built into them, starting with ShockAndAwe Blasters and {{Rocket Punch}}es and getting crazier from there, allows him to do stuff like jump up on his fired Rocket Punch and use it as a hoverboard, complete with skateboard tricks for attacks.
** Nico Goldstein is a non-action version of this trope introduced in the fifth title, being a craftswoman taking the personality of a teenage boy from a 90's sitcom mack dab into the middle of the apocalypse, she's Lady's arms dealer and the inventor of Nero's Devil Breakers. And the weapons she invents range from [[TimeStandsStill the logic defying]] to [[NiceHat the outright bizarre]]. She's also the living embodiment of DrivesLikeCrazy, often driving her van to places that should by all means be impossible for anything short of an aircraft to reach in ''precisely'' the way you'd have to drive a van in order for it to reach said places.
* ''VideoGame/TeamFortress2'':
** All of the characters take ViolationOfCommonSense not as the exception but the ''norm''. This means they have inane ideas such as using a neon light underwater, punching people with boxing gloves in a fight to the death, beating people to death with a fish, death by icicle, ''hacking your own arm off just for a prosthetic you had no need for in the first place'', shooting people with a crossbow to heal them, throwing "[[RunningGag Yellow Liquid]]" as a weapon, using a hand grenade as a club, fashioning a rocket launcher, flamethrower and [[BuffySpeak Heal-Gun thingy]] from random household items, holding bear claws over your hands in a fight, and we're just grazing the list.
** Some of the background characters, too. Saxton Hale (head of Mann Co—"We sell products and get in fights") in particular. [[http://www.teamfortress.com/1308.htm One letter from him that has been seen out there]] can be, depending on which boxes are ticked, either "thank you for your submitted product idea, we'll get back to you" or "you bastard, you tried to steal from me, I'm going to hunt you down and beat you to death with my own bare hands."
** The Medic, as revealed in "Meet The Medic", is totally insane. [[{{Squick}} He performs surgery on the Heavy without anesthesia or gloves]], keeps a BLU Spy's severed head in his fridge, ends up [[ForScience giving the Heavy the heart of a "Mega Baboon"]] after [[{{Squick}} accidentally exploding the Heavy's old heart]], and, finally, when he's preparing to Uber the Heavy for the first time?
---> '''Heavy''': Doktor! Are you sure dis will work?!\\
'''Medic''': ''AH-HAHAH! I HAFF NO IDEA!''
* Max from ''Franchise/SamAndMaxFreelancePolice''. For example:
-->'''Max''': [[HeroicComedicSociopath Gratuitous acts of senseless violence are my forte!]]
-->''(He turns to face an unconscious man hanging by his chin from the bannister. Max [[CherryTapping nudges him off]] and he hits the ground with a thud.)''
-->'''Sam''': You're such an adorable urchin, Max.
* President Howard Ackerman of ''VideoGame/CommandAndConquerRedAlert3'' running on the Attack Dolphin party with the slogan of "Screw 'Em All". His immigration policy? Attack Dogs! Those without health insurance? He'll donate a pint of his blood a week to render your immune system indestructible! Special Interests? None! He's too busy serving the DirtyCommunists a steaming platter of shame with a side order of suck it. Vote for him if you want to live! [[spoiler: He's also a Japanese android.]] [[http://cnc.wikia.com/wiki/Howard_T._Ackerman And he actually got a few votes in the RealLife 2008 elections.]]
* ''VideoGame/PokemonColosseum'':
** Miror B. in ''Colosseum'' and ''XD''. Disco dude with an [[FunnyAfro enormous Poké Ball-colored afro]] and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WuhqoZvyntA this]] for a battle theme. And the first time you meet him in ''Pokémon XD'', he moonwalks in. On lifts. The Pokémon most associated with him, Ludicolo, is a pineapple duck with a rain-collecting hat that dances.
* ''VideoGame/TheSims3'':
** You can give your Sims the "Insane" trait, which lets them to do all sorts of hilariously ridiculous things, like fishing in swimming pools (and actually [[AchievementsInIgnorance ''catching'' fish ]]this way!).
** Similarly, the "Neurotic" sims get compulsive, yet easily fulfilled wishes (like checking the oven) which put them in a positive mood, and have access to a special "Freak Out" command which puts them in a "happy place" mentally that means that for several hours, their Fun need meter won't degenerate no matter what kind of stresses they're subjected to. Quite a powerful ability in the Sims universe!
* ''VideoGame/BaldursGate'': Minsc, especially in the second game, as his already-tenuous grip on sanity seems to slip further and Creator/JimCummings really [[LargeHam throws himself into the role]]. This is, after all, a character who believes in solving problems with swords, thinks "shirking" is a painful sharp thing you do to people who would steal nuts from squirrels, and gets most of his inspiration from a ''hamster''. A miniature giant space hamster no less. Who is mighty and wise and probably quite stringy.
* ''Franchise/MassEffect'':
** In the first game, upon seeing that the Conduit is seconds from closing, Shepard decides that the only option available is to gun the throttle, charge through a ton of Geth including several Colossus and hurl the Mako through a Mass Relay. Considering that Shepard has no way of knowing if either they nor the Mako could even survive the trip.
** [[AxCrazy Jack]] is stark raving mad and awesome enough to tear apart three [[HumongousMecha YMIR mechs]] with her bare hands (despite the fact that they are still rather difficult boss monsters individually at that point in the game).
* [[ImpossibleThief Carmen Sandiego]]. [[MonumentalTheft She stole the Moon]]. And Gandhi's glasses. And an entire peninsula. And an entire ''country''. And ''the letter '''n'''.'' And these are some of the tamer ones. And her motivation? She ''used'' to be one of the best detectives in the world, but [[NoChallengeEqualsNoSatisfaction got bored with it]].
* Cave Johnson of ''VideoGame/{{Portal 2}}'', CEO of Aperture Science, and a grade-A certified MadScientist whose inventions are both brilliant and ''hilariously'' dangerous. His finest moment, though, is his proposal on what to do when life hands you lemons...[[note]]"When life gives you lemons, don't make lemonade - make life take the lemons back! Get mad! I don't want your damn lemons! What am I supposed to do with these? Demand to see life's manager! Make life rue the day it thought it could give Cave Johnson lemons! Do you know who I am? I'm the man who's gonna burn your house down! WITH THE LEMONS! I'm gonna get my engineers to invent a combustible lemon that BURNS YOUR HOUSE DOWN!" ''And it's actually not out of the question that he did.''[[/note]]
* In a [[CutscenePowerToTheMax trailer]] of ''VideoGame/WorldInConflict: Soviet Assault'', the Russians paradrop a freaking ''heavy tank'' into a battle to [[BigDamnHeroes rescue]] a squad of paratroopers pinned down inside a mall. As someone on Website/{{Youtube}} commented, "only the [[MotherRussiaMakesYouStrong Soviets have balls to drop MBT off of an airplane]]".
* ''VideoGame/ChampionsOnline'' has one in the form of the lunatic Foxbat. Using a ping pong ball gun that launches custard pies, massive amounts of pre-chewed bubblegum, high exlosives, and the homing device for an orbitally launched ten ton weight (that says "Ten Tons" on it), as well as robot fan boys, he proceeds to: 1 ) Use voodoo dolls to mind control an entire clan of vampires as part of a bid to marry a Superhero / Pop Star, 2 ) Manage to get a time machine that (in an alternate timeline) required more power than the city's power grid to work to somehow work multiple times, grabbing cowboys, samurai, vikings, cavemen, and Roman legionaires to help fight fallen angels, and 3 ) Takes over a local TV Station so he can broadcast the Foxbat show, in "thrilling Fox-O-Vision". Oh, and lines he spouts when fighting you include asking you if you want to be his sidekick. Only Grond has become more of a meme in the CO universe than Foxbat.
* ''VideoGame/{{Persona2}}'':
** Michel in ''Innocent Sin''. He's a narcissist, to the point where he'll offer demons and even ''undead Nazis'' his autograph, and he carries around [[Film/{{Desperado}} a guitar case that turns into a machine gun]]. One of his other demon contacts, especially with other party members, is to put on an ''impromptu rock concert''.
** Then there's Baofu in ''Eternal Punishment'', who is a creepy guy with a perpetual smug smirk in sunglasses and a gold-colored suit. He never stops snarking at and insulting everyone around him, his choice of weapon is ''coins'' flung fast enough to hurt, and he can try to blackmail demons - and succeed! (Though some just think the mere attempt is hilarious.) Oh, and he's also on a personal crusade against the Taiwanese mafia.
* While most people in ''VideoGame/MonkeyIsland'' deserves a mention, Guybrush Threepwood, while appearing normal on the outside is crazy once you think about it (related to how the games themselves work), but he's killed zombie pirates by spraying him with root beer, he once locked a man in a coffin (which he sold, used) to steal a key, he took instructions to complete a maze by listening to his dead parents singing it to him in a dream, he purposely drank poison to kill himself, then coming back to life to claim a life-insurance all while [[KleptomaniacHero stealing]] just about anything he could see.
* ''VisualNovel/HatofulBoyfriend'':
** Oko San is a super-fast track star pigeon who's completely obsessed with finding the perfect pudding that will awaken the pudding god and banish sadness forever. No really; he accomplishes ''exactly'' that in one of his endings where he becomes the pudding god himself and turns the entire world into gooey happy pudding.
** And then there's Anghel Higure, a bleeding-heart bird who proclaims himself to be a [[FallenAngel fallen servant of God]] and the heroine to be his reincarnated lover who sealed him away eons ago, [[DynamicEntry enters through glass windows instead of doors]], and treats everything around him like some grand battle to be fought or some vile thing containing demon spores that must be eradicated to the tune of epic battle music. No one's quite sure [[WhatDoYouMeanItWasntMadeOnDrugs what this bird is doped up on]], but whatever it is, it's ''awesome''. [[spoiler: A side comment from Bad Boys Love says that Anghel's body secretes hallucinogenic pheromones that [[RequiredSecondaryPowers Anghel himself is not resistant to]].]] In fact, Anghel Higure's route is the only one in which [[spoiler: Dr. Shuu is actually ''defeated''; all the other routes have you escaping his attentions (knowingly or no) or getting murdered]].
* ''VideoGame/RealmOfTheMadGod'' has Oryx, the titular mad god and a DrunkenMaster, at least according to fanon. His exploits include taking pity on orphaned drakes by turning them into trees, creating the recursive MookMaker [[OddJobGods Cube God]], and reanimating his own puke (okay, it's bile, but you get the idea) to battle you if you trespass in his wine cellar.
* ''VideoGame/MetalGear'':
** Snake went up against a tank with grenades, alone, and winning, and not finding that remotely unusual. However, amongst other things, Snake has punched a man dressed entirely in metal plates, identified a female soldier by stalking her until she needed to use the bathroom, grabbed a statue's penis, deliberately enticed a wolf to pee on him to disguise his scent, blown up a rat with industrial explosives, disguised himself as a woman, disguised himself as a corpse, shot a bunch of hamsters with a machine gun, shook a woman to death using a psychic puppet, and hatched an owl from an egg to use its hoots to convince a guard that it was nighttime. Big Boss has murdered people with a fork, recharged his batteries by eating glowing mushrooms, disguised himself as a {{bishounen}}, an androgynous Japanese diety, a zombie, a monkey and a crocodile, and defeated enemies by tying them to helium balloons.
** Those times when [[VideoGame/MetalGearSolidPeaceWalker Big Boss held up an entire camp of soldiers]]... [[WithThisHerring With a banana]].
** Many bosses also qualify:
*** [[MadBomber Fat]][[VideoGame/MetalGearSolid2 man]], a bomb-slinging man in an oversized flak jacket who rides around on ''rollerskates.''
*** The soldier who fights while covered in bees and grows special bullet hornets in his body.
*** The cowboy-wannabe Speztnaz officer who fends off a horde of Baltic hornets by twirling his revolvers around.
*** The century-old veteran sniper who is part ''plant'' (and is even able to photosynthesise) and uses a tricked-out dart rifle because he wants to be a mentor to the guy who will inevitably kill him
*** [[VideoGame/MetalGearRisingRevengeance The US Senator so jacked up by nanomachines he can block a vibro-katana with his bare forearms]]?
* ''Franchise/StreetFighter'':
** ''[[VideoGame/StreetFighterIV Super Street Fighter IV]]'' gives us [[ChaoticEvil Juri]] [[EvilIsSexy Han]]. A [[KickChick Tae Kwon Do]] fighter who joins the tournament simply [[ForTheEvulz because]] [[BloodKnight she's bored]], and is nothing short of [[AxCrazy f'in insane]], as is evidenced in her ending, when she [[spoiler:overthrows [[PhlebotinumRebel Seth]] and takes over S.I.N]]. She also delivers classic villain lines such as [[DeathCryEcho "I'll have my]] [[WeWillMeetAgain reveeeennnnnggggggeee"!]] when she loses, which is nothing short of hilarious. She tones it down a bit in ''VideoGame/StreetFighterV'', though she's still plenty sadistic.
** Also from ''SSFIV'', Hakan. A blue-haired, ''[[AmazingTechnicolorPopulation red-skinned]]'' Turklish oil wrestler who lugs around a gigantic barrel of said oil with him everywhere he goes (think [[Manga/{{Naruto}} Gaara's giant gourd of sand]]), which he then proceeds to ''dump on himself at the beginning of every match''. His moveset revolves around using his oily body to slide around the arena, and one of his [[DesperationAttack Ultras]] has him almost literally ''launching you out of his ass''. His motives for joining the tournament are no less crazy. While most of the others are there to defeat a rival, destroy the world or some other dastardly plot, Hakan simply wants to travel the world to find the best olive oil. He's stated to be a multi-billion dollar Olive Oil Tycoon, so he could have done it without travelling the world beating people up. He also has a hot wife with 7 daughters he loves very much.
** With Season 3 of ''VideoGame/StreetFighterV'' came G, the self-proclaimed "President of Earth." Capcom decided to make their equivalent of Uncle Sam a [[LargeHam hammy]] AttentionWhore [[note]]he ''waves at the screen'' while striding forward[[/note]] with control over gold and magma who constantly proclaims the unity of mankind while striking all manner of poses in-battle, cultminating in his [[LimitBreak Critical Art]], [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IeeqIqE7aGI Pangaea Burst,]] having G pull the classic UncleSamWantsYou [[GivingSomeoneThePointerFinger pose]] as multiple bursts of lava immolate his foe. ("Light it up.") One of his special moves, Message to the People, consists of G giving [[RousingSpeech a rehearsed presidential address]]--[[PracticalTaunt and it charges his Critical Gauge]] [[MundaneMadeAwesome as long as he speaks]]. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OfKnCBNSssQ It even comes in three different variations!]]
* ''Franchise/TheElderScrolls'':
** Sheogorath, the series' [[OurGodsAreDifferent Daedric Prince]] of [[MadGod Madness]]. To note:
*** His quests in ''Morrowind'' and ''[[VideoGame/TheElderScrollsIVOblivion Oblivion]]'' respectively involve killing a [[LivingGasbag giant floating cattle-like jellyfish]] with a [[JokeItem cursed fork]] and fulfilling a prophecy involving stinky cheese and burning dog corpses raining from the sky, respectively.
--->"I once dug a pit and filled it with clouds... or was it clowns... come to think of it, it began to smell... must have been clowns. Clouds don't smell, they taste of butter. And tears."\\
"Time for a celebration! Cheese for everyone! Wait, scratch that, cheese for no one. That can be just as much of a celebration, if you don't like cheese. True?"\\
"I'm so happy, I could rip out your intestines and strangle you with them!"
*** In ''The Shivering Isles'' expansion for ''Oblivion'', attacking him causes him to paralyze the player, before teleporting them about a thousand feet over the island. If you can actually ''find'' the area he teleported you to, you find a man who was similarly executed... for the great crime of having a ''mustache''. Of course, this ''is'' the realm of a MadGod.
** In ''[[VideoGame/TheElderScrollsIIIMorrowind Morrowind]]'', Divayth Fyr is considered this, due to him being a [[ReallySevenHundredYearsOld 4,000 year old]] wizard, the highest level NPC in the vanilla game, a collector of both [[OurDwarvesAreAllTheSame Dwemer]] artifacts as well as artifacts associated with the "Battlespire" event, and an eccentric genius who surrounds himself with OppositeSexClone wives/daughters, diseased zombie-esque maniacs, and [[spoiler:the last living Dwarf]]. He left the council of [[TheClan Great House]] [[TheMagocracy Telvanni]] and the [[MagicalSociety Psijic]] [[TheOrder Order]] in order to run his Corprusarium (a refuge for the aforementioned diseased zombie-esque maniacs) while also working on a cure for the disease, which he finds...sort of. (It only works on the PlayerCharacter, and also isn't really a "cure", as the PC still has the disease. It simply removes the negative effects, leaving the PC with the positive effects of being TheAgeless and IdealIllnessImmunity.) He would even become the unofficial mascot of the ''Elder Scrolls'' lore community for a time on the official forums.
--> ''"Good. Open your mouth, and close your eyes..." Continue "Good. Now swallow... Goodness... Good grief! Look! Look! It's... WORKING!" Continue [Disposition +10.] "Remarkable. Let me check your skin... your eyes... your tongue.... Amazing. I think it worked. No sign of the disease at all. Of course, you still have corprus disease, just like I planned. But all your symptoms are gone. Marvelous. I'll go try it out on some of the more desperate inmates..."''
** Cicero in ''[[VideoGame/TheElderScrollsVSkyrim Skyrim]]'' doubles as this and CreepyAwesome. Despite dressing as a jester and coming across as nuttier than Sheogorath, his insanity belies the fact that he's a highly skilled assassin of the Dark Brotherhood. The advantages of this are obvious - in fact, [[spoiler:in the Brotherhood questline, he uses his theatricality to pull a Wounded Gazelle Gambit ''and'' a Xanatos Gambit simultaneously. After he completely snaps and you're tasked with hunting him down, he pretends to be dying to make you either leave him alone or drop your guard trying to finish him off.]]
--->'''Cicero:''' [[spoiler:Haha! Behold the final trick of the Fool of Hearts! You think me near death? Haha! Think again.]]
* ''VideoGame/TalesSeries'':
** Anise Tatlin from ''VideoGame/TalesOfTheAbyss'' has the crazy awesome fighting style of riding on the back a giant, animated teddy bear, which then proceeds to plow enemies into the ground like it's nothing. '''HOLY SHIT.'''
** King Richard of Windor - Badass with a sword, King of a major nation, [[DudeLooksLikeALady extremely pretty]]...also [[spoiler: possessed by a space demon EnergyBeing and]] totally hell-bent on essentially destroying the planet. Watch any anime cutscene from ''VideoGame/TalesOfGraces'' and tell us he's no badass...then watch his infamous [[MemeticMutation TOMODACHIII HUAAAARGH]] breakdown and tell us he's not ''nucking futs.''
* ''VideoGame/{{Borderlands}}'':
** Patricia Tannis. She leaves a series of recordings you can listen to, following her quick descent into various forms of madness. For example, after killing an intruder, she then comes up with an entire backstory and name for him out of starvation for human contact. All this after a [[CargoShip rocky relationship with her personal audio recorder]]? Also, she was the person to actually discover the location of the Vault?
** Mister Torgue High-Five Flexington. The man is a genius weapons engineer...because of his obsession with StuffBlowingUp and severe TestosteronePoisoning. His company's best-known inventions include the [[GameBreaker Unkempt Harold]], which fires exploding bullets that split into more exploding bullets, and the [=KerBlaster=], a gun with bullets that drop grenades on impact.
** Gaige's effectiveness is predicated entirely on mad science. For example, her Action Skill only works because she ''sawed off her own arm'' and replaced it with a cybernetic one. That she built ''after the amputation''.
** Krieg. Two of his skill trees are "run around with your shields down hitting people with your buzz axe" and "be [[IncendiaryExponent ON FIRE]] as often as possible". The latter allows him to set himself on fire by setting ''other people'' on fire, with an upgrade at about level 15 that lets you ignite yourself with any elemental damage effect. The name of this upgrade? Delusional Damage. He also has lengthy arguments with the voice of his sane self in his head and [[TalkativeLoon yells non-sequiturs constantly]].
--->'''Krieg:''' I'M THE CONDUCTOR OF THE POOP TRAIN!
* VideoGame/GrandTheftAutoV has Trevor Phillips, quite possibly the most AxCrazy protagonist in the series' history. There is nothing Trevor won't do to his achieve his goals. Whether it be crashing a crop duster into the bay of a cargo plane (while still in flight!), or jumping atop a speeding train with a dirt bike, and crashing said train with another, Trevor's unhinged antics provide some of the game's most [[Awesome/GrandTheftAutoV Awesome Moments]]. But this ends up being a SubvertedTrope for the most part, as Trevor's hairbrained schemes always end with him [[CantGetAwayWithNuthin getting screwed out of any profit]] or [[RoaringRampageOfRevenge pissing people off enough to want him dead]].
* ''VideoGame/GuiltyGear'':
** [[MadDoctor Faust]] (formerly Dr. Baldhead) He's nucking futs, even after his HeelFaceTurn. Turning into a baseball player, swimming through air, attacking you with a giant scalpel, and implanting a nuke on you, all while trying to [[TheAtoner save the world]]. Gotta love him.
** Also Slayer, the dandy vampire whose [[OneHitKill Instant Kill]] involves ''punching you to a different galaxy '''using only the power of haiku'''.''
* ''VideoGame/BlazBlue'': Terumi Yuuki. [[AxCrazy Candy-flavoured]] zombie Jesus [[GeniusBruiser on a]] ''[[MagnificentBastard stick]]'', Terumi! He is a FallenHero who has decided to [[RageAgainstTheHeavens kill God]] and [[ToCreateAPlaygroundForEvil Create a Playground For Evil]], and to that end he initiated a GroundhogDayLoop that has pretty much destroyed the world some 700+ times over, and when finally someone who might actually be a threat to him and his plans appears, or even someone who ISN'T a threat appears, what does he do? He ''{{Troll}}s'' them.
* Father Grigori from ''VideoGame/HalfLife2''; a BadassPreacher armed with a shotgun, holed up in the zombie-infested city of Ravenholm, where he's not only survived against the monstrous hordes, but also built several traps to kill said hordes easier on his own. Including at least three cars suspended in the air that are bound by nothing more than a few ropes, that act as falling anvils of death. The "crazy" part comes from the fact that he views the zombies as his congregation, considers shooting them in the head their salvation (he's not wrong there, though), and seems to genuinely care about them.
* [[VideoGame/AlphaProtocol Steven Heck]]. It's not the fact that he's willing to torture his employees to find his car keys. It's not the insane conspiracy theories. Its not the penchant for fire, or [[WordSaladTitle the funny names he gives his operations]], and or his capacity for use of the ImprovisedWeapon (including decapiting people with soccer balls). No, it's the fact that he [[spoiler:[[CrazyPrepared welded a minigun onto a subway car and strafed a subway terminal when Mike Thorton hired him to play fire support.]]]] He's a fun guy.
* In ''VideoGame/JustCause'', [[DashingHispanic Rico Rodriguez]] has this as part of his job description. Part of the ''tutorial'' for the second game involves a carsurfing gunfight and two fights against helicopters with only his pistols and [[GrapplingHookPistol Grappling Hook Gauntlet]]. The hook itself allows for absolutely insane things (such as strapping a bad guy to a passing jumbo jet). The craziness keeps ramping up throughout the story, including a fights against an [[AwesomePersonnelCarrier APC]] and a KillSat.

Added DiffLines:
* ''Manga/BattleAngelAlita'': Desty Nova is the kind of guy who saws the top of his head off to prove a point, gives random people bodies that account for weapons of mass destruction, makes a backup of his brain (and head) on his belly, or becomes inmortal in a way that turns him into a literal plague, and with at least 3 of himself with separate agendas and working against each other; all for [[strike:the lulz]] [[ForScience KARMATRON DYNAMICS]], and meanwhile he eats flan, laughs madly, and wears spectacles that makes him look like a maniac.
* Kogarashi, the titular Maid Guy of ''Manga/KamenNoMaidGuy'', is Rule of Coolin spades. He has 37 senses, multiple superpowers, a body of steel, used to teach math at MIT, is a complete sociopath, but wears a maid dress and frilly mask.
* [[SuperStrength Shizuo Heiwajima]] from ''LightNovel/{{Durarara}}''. For one, he can punch people out of their clothes, his favorite weapons tend to be vending machines and street signs, one of which he uses to slice a car's roof off.
* The Principal is easily a CrazyIsCool character despite his being in the charmingly cutesy ''Manga/HidamariSketch''. The Principal appears completely out of place compared to the other characters, and his actions make him appear more so. For example as The Landlady for the Hidamari apartments strolls by the school gates from across the street she abruptly stops to see The Principal dash towards the gate perfoming three full front flips as he leaps over, perfectly landing next to her and proceeds to thank her for taking care of the students. Another is when Yoshinoya is spraying him with a water gun several times over before The Landlady tosses him his own to which he reacts by dodging Yoshinoya's shots at rapid speed before firing directly at her forehead. In these scenes The Principal's animation style changes drastically from Cutesy to Extremely Serious.
* Pretty much everyone in ''Manga/TheLegendOfKoizumi''; it's basically a CrazyIsCool ''world''. This begins to set in with chapter one, but is firmly established by the point where Junichiro Koizumi sets himself on fire scraping a mahjong tile made of depleted uranium with his fingernail hard enough to scratch the top half millimeter off in a room with too much oxygen.
* Hiruma Youichi of ''Manga/Eyeshield21''. Has taken over his school from the shadows, [[spoiler: throws a long pass as a quarterback with his broken arm]], runs across America for 40 days without showing any fatigue until the end, Has blackmail material for half the people in the world, and throws together a high-school American football team within a year [[spoiler: that manages to beat an all-star high school team that has never lost before]], among other examples.
* ''Manga/FutureDiary'':
** Yuno, who is [[AxCrazy just]] [[{{Yandere}} plain]] [[MurderTheHypotenuse crazy]] to boot. When a MadBomber takes over the school and forces the hostages to attack Yuno and her boyfriend/[[StalkerWithACrush stalkee]]? Yuno decides that this makes the hostages her enemies and starts ''setting the bombs off''. She also firmly believes MurderIsTheBestSolution and has a tendency to appear out of nowhere with a [[GirlWithPsychoWeapon knife, ax]] or [[ImprovisedWeapon similar object]].
** Yomotsu Hirasaka AKA Twelfth is a whole handful of crazy awesome. A total whackjob, who dresses like a deranged Sentai character, and steals a bomb, just so he can make a flashy entrance. Did we mention he does all this, while being ''totally blind?''
* Team Rocket in the ''Anime/{{Pokemon}}'' anime. Some of their plans are just INSANE. And more often than not, involve gigantic mechs. Not to mention the fact that they seem to just enjoy dressing up so much they work weird disguises into every plan. And when all else fails, they just dig a hole and wait for the protagonists to fall into it.
* ''Manga/FullmetalAlchemist'':
** Taken to extremes with Kimblee: to sum, a SociopathicSoldier BloodKnight {{Troll}} crossed with the SocialDarwinist and ThePhilosopher. [[spoiler: Even before his death]], he's an unsettlingly realistic example of high-functioning [[TheSociopath sociopathy]]. [[spoiler: He also proves that, in ''Manga/FullmetalAlchemist'', both badassery and Crazy Awesomeness need not be influenced by silly things such as death. After being devoured by Pride, he surfaces momentarily, maintaining his identity specifically ''because'' he LovesTheSoundOfScreaming, and pulls off a VillainousRescue, delivering a crushing ReasonYouSuckSpeech to Pride before disappearing into the mass of tortured souls.]] In the flashbacks, he inspired the heroes to redeem themselves and Amestris, and unlike most NiceJobFixingItVillain cases, he probably would have been genuinely proud of their success. Yes, his sense of morality is just [[BlueAndOrangeMorality that screwed up]].
** Ling as well. He actually let [[spoiler:himself become the host of the new Greed to gain a Philosopher's Stone, knowing that he'd have to fight the spirit of a homunculus for control of his own body, for the sake of saving his country (and become the emperor of said country).]]
* Drosselmeyer in ''Anime/PrincessTutu''. His character design is surreal, and he's first introduced to the audience and the main character as an ominous, booming voice, then materializing upside-down in front of her bit-by-bit in a Cheshire Cat fashion. As the series goes on, it becomes QUITE clear that he's absolutely off his nut, and quite enjoying the tragedy playing out in the story. And then, as the series nears its end, it's revealed that [[spoiler:while dead, he exists in a netherworld filled with gears and mocking puppets he controls, has been pulling the strings of everyone in the hopes of making the story have a ShootTheShaggyDog ending, and when his hands were cut off before his death, ''wrote the story controlling the town with his own blood using the stumps of his arms''.]] And he finds the whole thing hilarious.
* ''LightNovel/{{Baccano}}'': Graham Specter enjoys "breaking" things (including ''people''), uses a wrench to catch a flying bullet, and idolizes [[AxeCrazy Ladd]] [[BloodKnight Russo]]. Oh, and one of ''the'' most popular characters, possibly due to the insane rambling philosophy he has.
* ''Manga/BoboboboBobobo''. The entire cast ([[OnlySaneMan sans Beauty]]) could fit under this heading, but the main trio of Bobobo, Don Patch, and Jelly Jiggler get top honors for being practitioners of an actual ''fighting style'' whose main purpose is to utterly bewilder the enemy into submission. It really says something when you have two characters merge into a MagicalGirl and beat the enemy by singing, and you accept it because it's still not as crazy as the time Bobobo pulled [[Anime/YuGiOh Yami Yugi]] out of his afro.
* ''Manga/KenichiTheMightiestDisciple'':
** Siegfried. As his martial arts form is essentially unique, he could not find a master to teach him more. So he decided to imitate a spinning stone that Tibetan monks use... for forty days straight. Spinning. Also sings constantly, will stop fighting to write music and can use his loud voice as an attack while singing. Despite this, Kenichi's masters describe him as a genius with abilities that are already nearly at the master level.
** Master Fuurinji also has his moments, like entering a tournament intended for teenagers as "[[PaperThinDisguise Mysterious Teenager Garyu X]]" by putting a mask on and changing nothing else about his appearance. He also took on a fully armed combat force by throwing their own soldiers back at them.
** Some of the stuff [[LadyOfWar Shigure]] does also counts. Like defeating a squad of assassins with a ribbon, or disarming all the members of a gang of delinquents in one hit... with a spoon. And doing ClothingDamage in the process by ''accidentally'' cutting their clothes with said spoon. She then request that they attack her again. The result is the same except this time she's wielding a plastic sword controller.
* ''Manga/SoulEater'':
** Crona. Their weapon of choice is [[spoiler:an enormous shrieking black puppet made of congealed blood that erupts out of her back and can turn into a sword.]] Also their eyes are always, always moving. [[spoiler:This isn't actually by choice, more as a result of having Medusa for a mother, who experimented on them.]]
** There's also the Death Scythe Tezca Tlipoca, a man in a suit wearing a giant fluffy bear mask who turns into a mirror wielded by a monkey wearing clothes and a baseball-cap. This guy creates copies of himself and merges with them in order to turn into an extremely weird-looking but devastatingly powerful attack form. Oh, and he [[FakingTheDead fakes his own death]] and operates in disguise by...''replacing the bear mask with a mouse mask'', changing absolutely nothing else about his behavior or appearance.
* Juzo Kabuto from ''Anime/ShinMazinger'' is one of the most awesome {{Mad Scientist}}s around, performing many ridiculous stunts and generally being CrazyPrepared in the most bizarre ways. The highlight of this was when he snapped his grandson (a HumongousMecha pilot) out of a HeroicBSOD by ''surfing a rocket punch'' through the air and jumping off it into the cockpit.
* From ''Manga/MyHeroAcademia'', Midoriya earned the title of [[FanNickname The Absolute Madman]] for his ability to withstand inhuman amounts of pain to come up with insane plans and moves in order to defeat his opponent. In-universe, there have been times where people have questioned his sanity based on his crazy plans that always end up working, especially considering the fact that he is willing to tear himself apart to save people. [[spoiler: A special mention goes to using Eri's uncontrollable rewind quirk to use One For All at 100% and hurt himself in the same speed she is rewinding him, therefore suffering no injuries while neither being erased from existence.]]
* ''Manga/DemonSlayerKimetsuNoYaiba'': Inosuke wears a googly-eyed boars head as a mask. His default response to any situation is violence. He believes so earnestly in his own InsaneTrollLogic that if he wasn't a LargeHam he could be TheComicallySerious. And he'd probably be completely useless except that these traits have combined to make him a terrifyingly effective fighter.
* ''Manga/FairyTail'': Quite a few characters:
** Fukuro is a cross between an owl and a man, sees himself as a superhero, has MegaManning powers and, most of all, uses two missiles as a jetpack.
** Also Gajeel, here's a short list of problems and his solutions:
*** Want to be accepted by friends? Hijack the stage and sing a song of friendship in a silly NiceHat.
*** Encountered one of the most badass furries ever? Tell him you are going to make him [[spoiler:your cat.]]
*** A freaking [[spoiler: HumongousMecha]]? [[spoiler: Eat]] the damn thing!
** Natsu as well:
*** Faced with a AntiMagic SphereOfPower? Use your magic outside to propel yourself and punch the guy in face.
*** How to stop a [[{{Lunacy}} powerful moon beam]] from entering a pyramid? Break the pillars on one side and tilt it.
*** Dealing with an enemy who can [[{{Telepathy}} read your mind]]? STOP THINKING.
*** In a bonus chapter, Natsu ''uproots an entire tree of flowers'' and promptly sends it to Lucy because she wanted to see it.
*** Bonus points in that he is completely oblivious to the fact it would be taken as a romantic gesture to most females. Good chances are, Natsu would instantly rise to No.1 on the "most desired bachelor mage" list on Sorcerer Weekly if word ever got out about the incident.
*** [[spoiler: Before finding out the guy shared a backstory and friendship with Igneel, he intended to '''EAT''' Atlas Flame, a humongous fire dragon, and use that power up to kick Future!Rogue's ass. From what it looked like, one could believe his plan would have ''worked'']].
* ''LightNovel/ACertainMagicalIndex'':
** Accelerator exists for this trope. His face and his laugh when maiming his victims, and the way he killed a squad of soldiers, including shotgunning a woman in the face will forever be in the minds of any fan of this series. They don't show this in the anime, but when he shotguns her in the face, a piece of her jaw gets blown off and lands on his face. You know what he does with it? "...Oh hoh hoh, so your face turned to something good for a fuckin' pacifier."
** A more humorous example from ''Index'' is the #7 Level 5, Gunha Sogiita. Nicknamed the "Attack Crash", the guy thinks he is and act like a textbook {{Shounen}} hero. His powers include incredible durability, SuperStrength, shockwave creation, and other assorted things... but nobody knows how they work. Even ''he'' doesn't know how they work! He doesn't care either. All he ever does is shout about "GUTS!" and run around beating up troublemakers.
** [[EnsembleDarkhorse Not wanting to be outdone]], Mikoto pulls out some seriously awesome shit in the finale of ''Railgun'''s second anime season. The first season finale already demonstrated that she can use objects much bigger than coins as ammo for her signature attack; here, Kongo launches Mikoto and Kuroko into low Earth orbit on-board a HumongousMecha, the two eject into vacuum in their school uniform and Mikoto promptly fires her ride at an incoming missile before Kuroko teleports them both back to Earth. Repeat, '''''Mikoto went into space for the sole reason of using a HumongousMecha as railgun ammo.'''''
* Issei Hyodou in ''LightNovel/HighSchoolDXD'' is this seeing as almost everything he does post-transforming into a devil has so much crazy stuff he can think on the fly that it ''actually works.'' [[TheNudifier Shred clothing?]] No problem. [[spoiler: [[HearingVoices Hear breasts talk?]] Sure he can do that. [[WeDoTheImpossible Summon a god from another dimension]] that ''other mythologies don't even know about?'' Even ''gods'' thought that was crazy.]]
* [[EnsembleDarkhorse Jin]] [[BadassDriver the Taxi Driver]] from ''Anime/{{Canaan}}''. Most people would probably get scared and freaked out when two people who were pursued by numerous bad guys shooting at them got inside your taxi. Jin? He thinks it's just a good opportunity to show off his [[DrivesLikeCrazy crazy driving skills]] while singing along with a cheerful J-pop song. "[[LargeHam CHINA STYLE]], [[HotBlooded with HIGH TENSION]]", indeed.
* ''Manga/{{Hellsing}}'': Alucard. The crazy part can't be argued; entire pages of the manga are his posturing and maniacal laughter. His typical fighting strategy is to invite his opponent to kill him, ''let them do it'', and then come back to finish them off. He also enjoys impaling his opponents. Preferably with their own weapons.
* ''Anime/CodeGeass'':
** [[EnsembleDarkhorse Jeremiah]] counts, somewhat. Maybe not at the beginning, but the character slowly evolves from a forgettable and unlikeable foe to a {{Woobie}} to a [[AxCrazy deranged, ferocious]] mild version of this trope in the first season finale. Eventually he calms down and fully evolves into his own in R2 as a somewhat unhinged, but ridiculously competent pilot and fighter.
** Some of [[MagnificentBastard Lelouch/Zero]]'s plans count. The first major example is in Stage 4, where Lelouch first pops up as Zero. He shows up, in a convincing fake of Prince Clovis's car, ''burns the flag of Britannia to reveal himself'', deliberately does the most reckless thing possible and even ''confesses to having killed Clovis'' on live TV! All to put himself in [[CompellingVoice Geass]] range, claiming that he will spill "Orange" (which he made up off the top of his head, possibly because his target - the above Jeremiah - has orange eyes) to let Suzaku go and help him and his group escape.
* ''Manga/{{Bleach}}'':
** Kuukaku Shiba is a pyromaniac who loves fireworks and crazy buildings so much she's almost an outcast. People like her, but no-one wants live near a house so bizarre. Even Ichigo's group doesn't want to be seen entering it. However, her crazy home-turned-firework-launcher is precisely what's required to break through Seireitei's normally impenetrable shield by effectively turning the group into a human cannonball. [[spoiler:The launcher's true purpose is to help the Royal Guard return to the Royal Realm whenever they leave it. Even the PraetorianGuard needs her insanely awesome talents.]]
** To say Urahara has a unique way of looking at things is an understatement. His [[TheWonka quirky]] view of the world helps him invent things other people might never think of. It also helps him play the role of EccentricMentor. He tells Ichigo his only chance of survival is to put on a silly bandana and boxing gloves. Ichigo refuses to submit to the humiliation as he argues with Urahara while dodging his very dangerous opponent. Eventually he takes Urahara's advice... and learns Urahara was joking, they're just an ordinary (and very silly) bandana and gloves after all. What Urahara was actually doing was distracting Ichigo so much that he couldn't focus on his opponent and was therefore forced to keep dodging her, [[WaxOnWaxOff teaching him without him realising it]], how to move his new ghost body when he previously could barely even manage to breathe in that form.
* Kogarashi, the titular Maid Guy of ''Manga/KamenNoMaidGuy'', is Rule of Coolin spades. He has 37 senses, multiple superpowers, a body of steel, used to teach math at MIT, is a complete sociopath, but wears a maid dress and frilly mask.
* [[SuperStrength Shizuo Heiwajima]] from ''LightNovel/{{Durarara}}''. For one, he can punch people out of their clothes, his favorite weapons tend to be vending machines and street signs, one of which he uses to slice a car's roof off.
* The Principal is easily a CrazyIsCool character despite his being in the charmingly cutesy ''Manga/HidamariSketch''. The Principal appears completely out of place compared to the other characters, and his actions make him appear more so. For example as The Landlady for the Hidamari apartments strolls by the school gates from across the street she abruptly stops to see The Principal dash towards the gate perfoming three full front flips as he leaps over, perfectly landing next to her and proceeds to thank her for taking care of the students. Another is when Yoshinoya is spraying him with a water gun several times over before The Landlady tosses him his own to which he reacts by dodging Yoshinoya's shots at rapid speed before firing directly at her forehead. In these scenes The Principal's animation style changes drastically from Cutesy to Extremely Serious.
* Pretty much everyone in ''Manga/TheLegendOfKoizumi''; it's basically a CrazyIsCool ''world''. This begins to set in with chapter one, but is firmly established by the point where Junichiro Koizumi sets himself on fire scraping a mahjong tile made of depleted uranium with his fingernail hard enough to scratch the top half millimeter off in a room with too much oxygen.
* Hiruma Youichi of ''Manga/Eyeshield21''. Has taken over his school from the shadows, [[spoiler: throws a long pass as a quarterback with his broken arm]], runs across America for 40 days without showing any fatigue until the end, Has blackmail material for half the people in the world, and throws together a high-school American football team within a year [[spoiler: that manages to beat an all-star high school team that has never lost before]], among other examples.
* ''Manga/FutureDiary'':
** Yuno, who is [[AxCrazy just]] [[{{Yandere}} plain]] [[MurderTheHypotenuse crazy]] to boot. When a MadBomber takes over the school and forces the hostages to attack Yuno and her boyfriend/[[StalkerWithACrush stalkee]]? Yuno decides that this makes the hostages her enemies and starts ''setting the bombs off''. She also firmly believes MurderIsTheBestSolution and has a tendency to appear out of nowhere with a [[GirlWithPsychoWeapon knife, ax]] or [[ImprovisedWeapon similar object]].
** Yomotsu Hirasaka AKA Twelfth is a whole handful of crazy awesome. A total whackjob, who dresses like a deranged Sentai character, and steals a bomb, just so he can make a flashy entrance. Did we mention he does all this, while being ''totally blind?''

Added DiffLines:
* Riff from ''Webcomic/SluggyFreelance''. His [[MadScientist insane inventions]] malfunction about as often as they work and are usually used for [[MundaneUtility incredibly mundane]] activities, but they're just so ''awesome''. [[http://www.sluggy.com/daily.php?date=060728 A paintball gun that drowns the enemy team in paint.]] [[http://www.sluggy.com/daily.php?date=070824 The "Gworg" monster]].

[[http://www.sluggy.com/daily.php?date=060914 A catapult that launches "censorizing black bars" to block a female assassin's "distracting nudity."]]
* Largo from ''Webcomic/MegaTokyo''. Actually the whole series could be crazy awesome, but those three look crazy even to the other inhabitants. He [[http://megatokyo.com/strip/1040 decapitated a zombie]]...with a giant radish...from the seat of a three-wheeled muffin cart. He also managed to somehow [[http://megatokyo.com/strip/1262 WEAPONIZE]] a JustForFun/{{Rickroll}}. Top that.
* ''[[http://www.jaydenandcrusader.com Jayden and Crusader]]'''s resident mad scientist Smic is known for his crazy moments, including, but not limited to, harnessing the power of sunspots to fill the house with pizza, firing a cannon using cream as gunpowder and defeating an alkaline super-monster using his bare hands. He is also extremely British.
* ''Webcomic/TheOrderOfTheStick'': Xykon. Dude tossed a bouncy ball with a Symbol of Insanity spell inscribed on it into a room full of paladins. The outcome contained a balance of Hilarious and Horrific worthy of the Joker.
* Hanners of ''Webcomic/QuestionableContent'' is a neurotic NeatFreak with [[SuperOCD crippling OCD]] in addition to being the resident {{Cloudcuckoolander}}. She is also one of the strip's most memorable and popular characters. When she swings into action, it's usually awesome and somewhat unusual.
* ''Webcomic/YetAnotherFantasyGamerComic'' has Captain Fang, the Dread Pirate. He is either utterly insane or has a near-terminal case of dyslexia which he doesn't try to circumvent (and is easily distracted). He's also either absurdly lucky or a good enough pilot to go into tricky waters, get even with a crack crew in an artillery duel ([[http://yafgc.net/comic/0677-ghost-busting/ while sitting on the cannon]] ''face to the breech'') and ''[[http://yafgc.net/comic/0897-now-entering-the-final-round/ somehow]]'' got into the semi-final of a great tournament. All the while rambling and apparently not paying attention to anything.
* The captain from ''Webcomic/RomanticallyApocalyptic''. [[AmbiguousGender (S)He]] wanders the post apocalyptic landscape with his two subordinates looking for humans and monsters. Makes sure along the way that the [[http://www.romanticallyapocalyptic.com/home?page=6 trains run on time]], gets [[http://www.romanticallyapocalyptic.com/home?page=9 TWO]] [[http://www.romanticallyapocalyptic.com/home?page=10 cults]] to worship him/her, picks up some [[http://www.romanticallyapocalyptic.com/home?page=13 fast food]] and rescues his subordinate from aliens with a [[ImprovisedWeapon cup with a red heart]] and some stale cake. Yes, [[ItMakesSenseInContext really]]. Zhee Captqainn is also highly radioactive, and his/her [[DeathGlare angry stare]] can literally [[YourHeadAsplode make a person's head explode]].
** Pilot is, if anything, almost as crazy as his superior officer. In his time off, he reenacts the balcony scene from ''[[Film/Titanic1997 Titanic]]'' with Zee Captain, on his working hours, he dutifully obeys Zee Captain's orders to "find me a flying machine" by tying helium balloons to seemingly everything he can find: a chair, a clock, a pair of headphones, a pineapple, [[SerialEscalation one of the giant worm monsters]], and a '''boat.''' That's frozen in a lake of ice. Oh, and he [[FluffyTamer adopts the giant worm monster as a pet]], and names it "[[MakesJustAsMuchSenseInContext Photoshop]]".
* ''Webcomic/{{Freefall}}'' makes repeated mentions of Dr. Bowman, some manner of programming, computational, and biochemical genius (in that he designed the brain maps for the setting's {{Uplifted Animal}}s and, unexpectedly, its robots) who is also implied to be incredibly secretive and stubborn--there are over 10,000 false identities claiming to be him. That's weird, but that's not why he's crazy awesome. [[spoiler:We're finally [[http://freefall.purrsia.com/ff2500/fc02467.htm introduced to him]], and he turns out to be an ''uplifted chimpanzee''. He's kept in an isolated base at the south pole of planet Jean, has a shock collar attached to him, has his own "tantrum room" to vent his frustrations, and is considered so dangerous that he requires toxic gas, barbed wire, and capture drones to contain. It turns out that these are entirely necessary, as not only does he have a bit of an ego but he proves both clever and dexterous enough to pick a high-security metal door inside 30 seconds and ''[[http://freefall.purrsia.com/ff2500/fc02464.htm hack a coffee machine]]'' so he can back-talk the base's commander. In spite of this, he happily offers to wear the shock collar so Florence doesn't feel threatened by his species' notoriously uncouth behavior, and when the base commander tries to take Florence back (her presence alone is ''causing'' a GambitPileup), Dr. Bowman holds ''[[http://freefall.purrsia.com/ff2500/fc02469.htm himself]]'' hostage so that he can take a moment talk to Florence, and it's implied he's held himself hostage before]]. Wow.
* ''Webcomic/InWilysDefense'' gives us the one and only Freeze Man! To name a few things, his first line in the comic is [[http://iwd.fetchquest.com/archives.php?type=iwd&c=373 "Hello, ground! Nice to see you again!"]], he's [[ComedicSociopathy hilariously violent]] for the sole reason that he's ''just plain insane'', {{Satan}} lives in his head, he constantly refers to himself as "Franchise/{{Batman}}", and he's [[MediumAwareness aware]] that he's both in a [[AnimatedActors TV show]] ''and'' a webcomic.
-->'''Heat Man:''' Alright. As a token of my [[AGodAmI awesomeness]], I'm going to give you twenty seconds to answer my questions. '''1)''' Who in the name of ''ME'' are you? '''2)''' In what way are you NOT a complete Me-damn fairy? And most importantly... '''3)''' Why are you not on your knees and bowing before my greatness? You have ''twenty seconds'', lower being! Get a-answerin'.
-->'''Freeze Man:''' Oi oi, just twenty? That seems like a very low amount of time to be "a-answerin'" your inquiries. '''1)''' The name I am known by is '''BATMAN'''. '''2)''' I don't say '[[NinjaButterfly HEY! LISTEN!]]' every 3.1415 seconds! '''3)''' Probably because I have a [[SpriteComic limited amount of poses]], and so I don't have a 'bow down before your greatness' pose.
* ''Webcomic/MobTies'': Sidney Burns and his booziness were what got this whole mess started, have continued to propel him through much of the story, and is actually a vital part of his character: [[spoiler:the booze is self-medication to keep the trauma of several months being a prisoner of war from turning him into a rage-filled monster]]. Of course, there are [[http://www.drunkduck.com/Mob_Ties/index.php?p=231017 a few side effects]]. Moreover, the guy frequents a bar called the Trainyard that is full of crossdressers (and not the pretty kind) because he likes the margaritas, throws bottles of beer with devastating accuracy to silence loud students in class, renamed an entire yakuza clan after a high school mascot, and improved his boxing skills by training with a giant panda. Oh, and he often communicates via puppet.
* ''Webcomic/TheAdventuresOfDrMcNinja'':
** Start with Dr. [=McNinja=], who runs a medical practice with a gorilla for a secretary, regularly fights hundred-foot-tall giants, [[DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu punched out Death]], air-surfed a robotic Dracula, battled laser-eyed cyborgs, saved the world with tennis, and massacred countless [[SendInTheClones clones]], [[SkyPirate Sky Pirates]], and {{Mooks}}.
** Then you have the supporting characters--his entire ninja family, his raptor-riding 12-year-old sharpshooter sidekick, his mentor the Ben Franklin clone, Dracula himself, the time-traveling ex-astronaut Mayor, his college superhero team and his motorcycle. The only person who isn't crazy awesome is his ex-girlfriend, and ''she'' once skyjacked an airplane while dressed up as an ancient Incan robot.
** Dan [=McNinja=], the Doctor's father, gets bonus points for lighting himself on fire because [[MemeticMutation ninjas can't catch you when you're on fire]]. Frans Rayner also gets points for testing out that theory by [[http://drmcninja.com/comic/4p18 lighting two of his mooks on fire]].
--->'''Minion:''' You're not trying to catch them, sir?
--->'''Rayner:''' ''[sips his coffee]'' No. [[YouHaveFailedMe I guess they were right]].
** Having noticed his own reputation for creating such characters, the author finally said "screw it" and created King Radical. He's a king of the "cereal mascot" variety from an alternate universe called the Radical Land who became the leader of the Cumberland[[note]]Population: 21,518[[/note]] mafia after sealing away the evil unicorn king Sparklelord. He routinely rides his motorcycle over alligator pits, has trumpeters on skateboards announcing his presence, and [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking eats only fresh, locally produced organics, prepared simply and with passion]].
* How about Joe Chaos, from ''Webcomic/AnotherGamingComic''? He's notorious for holding onto anything--''anything'', including cursed items--and using it against the DM later, such as using the slightly-broken rules for choking to give himself time against a poison attack with a cursed Necklace of Choking. On top of all the rest, he's also CrazyPrepared, ridiculously intelligent, and received TrainingFromHell in the art of playing ''TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons''. His nickname comes from the time he used a cursed Gauntlet of Rust to completely negate a kyton--a demon that attacks with metal chains. Joe's name isn't even Joe. It's Irving.
* [[Webcomic/{{Walkyverse}} Robin]] [[Webcomic/{{Shortpacked}} DeSanto]]: [[GenkiGirl Hyperactive]] [[SuperSpeed speedster]]. [[SuperSoldier War hero]]. Was elected to Congress three times, twice because she appealed to the desires of toy collectors and once because she flashed her boobs out a balcony. Tried to pass a bill to outlaw cancer. Once built a RubeGoldbergDevice to [[ShipperOnDeck get two men to bang each other]]. [[http://www.shortpacked.com/2008/comic/book-7/10-palin-comparison/wolves/ Tried to upstage Sarah Palin by hunting wolves with rocket launchers and machine guns while jumping out of a helicopter on a surfboard wearing nothing but a jetpack and a camouflage bikini]]. And later won a fight by shoving Faz ''up Sarah Palin's ass''. If all that doesn't qualify her, than the definition is clearly broken.
* Largo from ''Webcomic/MegaTokyo''. Actually the whole series could be crazy awesome, but those three look crazy even to the other inhabitants. He [[http://megatokyo.com/strip/1040 decapitated a zombie]]...with a giant radish...from the seat of a three-wheeled muffin cart. He also managed to somehow [[http://megatokyo.com/strip/1262 WEAPONIZE]] a JustForFun/{{Rickroll}}. Top that.
* ''[[http://www.jaydenandcrusader.com Jayden and Crusader]]'''s resident mad scientist Smic is known for his crazy moments, including, but not limited to, harnessing the power of sunspots to fill the house with pizza, firing a cannon using cream as gunpowder and defeating an alkaline super-monster using his bare hands. He is also extremely British.
* ''Webcomic/TheOrderOfTheStick'': Xykon. Dude tossed a bouncy ball with a Symbol of Insanity spell inscribed on it into a room full of paladins. The outcome contained a balance of Hilarious and Horrific worthy of the Joker.
* Hanners of ''Webcomic/QuestionableContent'' is a neurotic NeatFreak with [[SuperOCD crippling OCD]] in addition to being the resident {{Cloudcuckoolander}}. She is also one of the strip's most memorable and popular characters. When she swings into action, it's usually awesome and somewhat unusual.
* ''Webcomic/YetAnotherFantasyGamerComic'' has Captain Fang, the Dread Pirate. He is either utterly insane or has a near-terminal case of dyslexia which he doesn't try to circumvent (and is easily distracted). He's also either absurdly lucky or a good enough pilot to go into tricky waters, get even with a crack crew in an artillery duel ([[http://yafgc.net/comic/0677-ghost-busting/ while sitting on the cannon]] ''face to the breech'') and ''[[http://yafgc.net/comic/0897-now-entering-the-final-round/ somehow]]'' got into the semi-final of a great tournament. All the while rambling and apparently not paying attention to anything.
