A specific form of MemeticMutation when the fandom of a series exaggerates a character that is simply {{badass}}, or sometimes not all that impressive, to preposterously epic god-like levels. Despite the name, it doesn't necessarily have to be a widely known {{Internet}} {{meme}}, and is sometimes just an in-joke among the fan-base. In some cases, [[PopularityPower the writers agree]].

\\
BJ blocks bullets with his manly ass chin, and shakes off shrapnel like a dog after a bath. A Nazi general was once told by one of his officers that BJ Blazkowicz was coming, and his heart exploded from fear.\\
\\
If a Nazi is constipated, then just say "BJ Blazkowicz" while he's on the toilet. For every Allied soldier and innocent civilian killed, BJ kills a hundred Nazis. BJ's idea of a vacation is a Nazi occupied war zone.\\
\\
There's only one BJ Blazkowicz, and as long as he's breathing air, no Nazi is safe. BJ's not worried about how many there are, he's just worried about where the next box of ammo is.''

->''"What have you heard? That bad guys would rather confess than be interrogated by him? That his steely gaze can cool a room by five degrees? That he can only be killed by a silver bullet, like a werewolf? They're all true, except for the silver bullet part. Might give him indigestion or heartburn, but I don't think it'd kill him. Any other questions?"''
