** Said owner was a mr. Dolph Lundgren.

* A group of men once tried to rob a house, tying up the owner's wife. After taking one look at a picture of [[DolphLundgren the owner]], they dropped everything, untied her and ''ran''.

* People used to lose their shit over Michael Jackson just standing on stage.
** And before him, Elvis. And before ''him'', Frank Sinatra.

** In the two-parter "Pandemic", Craig Tucker saves the world from giant guinea-pigs by refusing to be a plaything of the universe (the way everybody else had been doing in those episodes) - he accidentally steps on a special tile and stands there ''shooting paralysing lasers from his eyes.''

--> '''Craig:''' ''(with flat surprise)'' Okay, now there are sparks shooting out of my eyes...

--> '''Craig:''' ''(with flat surprise)'' Okay, now I'm shooting sparks from my eyes.

** In ''Imaginationland'' Butters Stotch brings an entire sub-universe back into existance after it is blasted into non-existance by a nuke. With nothing to work with but his own imagination.

** In the movie, Cartman takes control of the bullying V-Chip and ends up saving the world from an invasion by Hell.

* ''SouthPark'' has some undeniable moments of PureAwesomeness with a few ChosenOnes.

** In the movie, Cartman takes control of the bullying V-Chip and ends up saving the world from an invasion by Hell - he isn't stated to be a ChosenOne like Butters or Craig but since they clearly exist in the world of SouthPark, if shooting lightning from your body and driving back the hordes of Hell doesn't make you a ChosenOne in some way I don't know what does.

* Gildartz from FairyTail has this and it bring [[spoiler:Natsu]] to tears.

* The mere presence of the Servants in FateStayNight has a little bit of this. And when a character like Lancer gets ''serious'', the pure awesome makes both you and the air freeze in fear.

* The TropeNamer is ''KungFuPanda'', from the quote above, where the legendary warrior's pure awesomeness alone is sufficient to blind enemies. [[AllJustADream At least in his dreams]]. Also, the Sword of Heroes is [[AbsurdlySharpBlade so sharp]] you can get cut just by looking at it. An extreme case of AudibleSharpness.
* In ''TronLegacy'', during the battle at the End Of Line club, the good guys are getting thoroughly trounced by Clu's [[EliteMooks Black Guards]]. At least until [[spoiler:[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yY5ecnUA5dc#t=01m59s Kevin Flynn walks into the room, kneels and touches the floor.]]]] Simply ''being there'' is enough for [[spoiler: Kevin to completely turn the tide, thanks to his PhysicalGod status in the Grid, by being a User with possession of the master disk.]]

* In ''OnePiece'', especially powerful individuals can strike weaker ones unconscious through their mere presence, through the power of "Haki" (Ambition). Two other types of Haki enable users to gain split-second precognition and harden their defenses or strengthen attacks to harm immaterial or Haki-using enemies, but only one in a million [[Badass inherently awesome people]] can use the Conqueror's Haki.

* In ''OnePiece'', especially powerful individuals can strike weaker ones unconscious through their mere presence, through the power of "Haki" (Ambition). Later on, Haki becomes more and more of a GreenLanternRing, letting its users create force-fields that can strike at Logia users, predict moves in split seconds, control animals, etc.

** If someone is powerful enough, his or her spiritual pressure can't be sensed at all, taking this trope full circle.

->'''Enemy:''' "Ahh! My eyes! ''He's too awesome!''"

* Under the ancient “extramission theory” of sight, rather than light entering the eyes, one's ability to see was supposed to work by the exact opposite means, with “beams of sight” literally radiating from the eyes to collide with objects.

-->''So deadly in fact, that his enemies would [[AwesomenessIsVolatile go blind]] from over-exposure to [[TropeNamer pure awesomeness!]]''\\
-- Po narrating his dream from ''KungFuPanda''

* In ''AHDotComTheSeries'', Super55 and [[ElvisPresley The King]] are characters of this type.

* Under the ancient “extramission theory” of sight, rather than light entering the eyes, one's ability to see was supposed to work by the exact opposite means, with “beams of sight” literally radiating from the eyes to collide with objects. This is thought by some scholars to be the origin of the salute: Literally shielding your eyes from the sheer awesome of your superiors.

* [[BigBad DMK]] is finally defeated at the end of the MSPaintAdventures series ''ProblemSleuth'', solely due to the eponymous character's [[http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=4&p=001760 glowing personal charm.]]

* A {{Pokemon}} with the ability "Intimidate" automatically lowers the attack stat of all opposing Pokemon at the start of a battle.

** [[RuleOfCool Spiral Energy]] in general allows the heroes' hot-bloodedness to manifest itself as anything from giant drills to [[spoiler: galaxy-sized giant robots]]. Essentially, Pure Awesomeness is a law of physics.
*** Which is why the Anti-Spirals are against the use of Spiral Energy: the universe [[AwesomenessIsVolatile won't be able to handle so much awesome and, as such, collapse.]]
