* This is SOP with [[DresdenFiles Harry Dresden]]. He's quite possibly the TropeCodifier (him or Spiderman, who he references every now and then, saying 'I follow the Tao of Peter Parker). At one point Harry was facing down a respectable fraction of the senior-most wizards on the planet, each one of them a paragon of destruction, and ''they're scared of him''. He knows that he's gotten by with some combination of this trope, luck, and having good friends, but all they know him as is a zombie-dinosaur-riding-potentially-dark-wizard ''who doesn't lose''. He's fought Demons, Fallen Angels, the Fae, trucked his way through a war consisting of the ''entirety'' of Fae on more or less this trope and pluck, and then executed [[spoiler: Aurora, Lady Summer]]. He's carved his way through armies of super-ghouls to rescue his friends, ''kicked off a war with the Red Court when they took his girlfriend by killing dozens of their lesser leadership'', he's lead an assault on Arctis Tor, the seat of Mab's (yes, ''that'' Mab) power. He's (essentially) won a duel with a Red Court Noble through the medium of Will, in a very HarryPotter-esque literalist take on this trope, fought off an EldritchAbomination that Lovecraft would be proud of, challenged the ''entire'' Senior White Council to a duel, and then showed up. [[BadAss Heroic. Damn. Resolve.]]
