* LukeCage gets some of this, owing largely to the infamous instance of him invading Latveria and attacking DoctorDoom on his lonesome because Doom owed him money (200 dollars). Several quotes from the issue are quite memetic by their own right, such as Luke's demand upon busting into the throne room: "Where's my '''money''', honey?"

* An in-universe example with ''ComicBook/KickAss''. Even though the clip clearly shows him being terrible at being a superhero, because he refuses to give up the fight, he becomes so popular that he inspires a comic based on himself as a legitimate superhero along the lines of GreenArrow or Franchise/{{Batman}}.

* [[ComicBook/TheAuthority The Midnighter]] is a literal version of this. His superpower is that he doesn't lose fights. ''Ever''. Seriously, Midnighter wins every fight, whether he's actually in it or not unless he's fighting [[CaptainAtom Captain "Why Don't You Try That Trick On Me" Atom]], at which point Midnighter (and Apollo, for that matter) becomes just another super-powered punching bag.

* Give [[BlueBeetle Paco]] an opponent and a stick to beat them with and he will ''fuck their shit up''. Anyone, ever.
* NickFury in ''ComicBook/SecretWarriors'': Surrounded by HAMMER agents and ordered to surrender, Fury replies, "Son, you got about five seconds before I take that gun away from you and beat you to death with it." The HAMMER agents give up.

* ''JudgeDredd''. When the Face of Fear kills anyone who gazes into it, Dredd is the only one it can't kill. Fear is not so resistant to the Fist of Dredd. Also, he once got an entire army to back down by simply ''appearing on a comm screen''.

Marvel Comics - Zeus

Added DiffLines:

* Zeus from MarvelComics is usually considered a badass because editors and stories stated him to be as powerful as [[TheMightyThor Odin]] and his few on panel feats show him as very powerful. This was blown to huge proportions when gave the IncredibleHulk one of the worst [[NoHoldsBarredBeatdown beatings of his life]]. A large part of it is because at the time the Hulk was being pushed as a virtually invincible force that could heal from anything, crack planets apart with ease and beat all of Earth's heroes on his own. Many fans were pleased to see a limit to the Hulk's power and finally put down after being treated as invincible.

** So {{Thanos}} the Mad Titan has won. He has collected all of the Infinity Gems and created the Infinity Gauntlet. He has wiped out half of the population of the UNIVERSE with a thought. He's toyed around with super heroes, defeated every cosmic being imaginable and he reigns supreme. You have a plan to take him out, but you need someone to distract him. Captain America calmly walks up in Thanos's face and dares to take him on. Plan doesn't work, but I'm sure this is a {{Crowning Moment of Awesome}}

** With the possible exception of DoctorDoom, depending on the fan.
*** Well, Batman would win, but it would turn out to be a Doombot. Not that Batman ''didn't'' know that...



** In the ''Marvel vs. DC'' CrisisCrossover, Batman said that if he fought Captain America, the fight would go either way. Therefore Batman's badassitude equals Captain America's.
*** Creator/KurtBusiek side-stepped the fight entirely in JLA-Avengers, although according to him, [[spoiler:Cap would have won after one of the longest comic book fights in history]].
** Some fans who are thoroughly sick of Batman being portrayed as utterly unbeatable, unstoppable, and omniscient without regard for human limitations (or for that matter, how he's usually portrayed in comics) refer to this as the "Batgod" phenomenon.

* SquirrelGirl. That is all.
** Pick a character, pick ''any'' character, even some cosmic super teams, against Squirrel Girl, and Squirrel Girl will be the accepted winner. Unicron and Galactus versus Squirrel Girl? Squirrel Girl.
*** Squirrel Girl versus Squirrel Girl? Universe implodes. [[CaptainObvious And then Squirrel Girl wins]].
**** Squirrel Girl versus Chuck Norris? Same result. But Chuck Norris wins.... Then Squirrel Girl wins. Because she has one big advantage, being [[ShapedLikeItself Squirrel Girl]].
*** Hell, even Deadpool thinks she's the greatest threat in the marvel universe.
*** Squirrel Girl Vs. Batman?
*** Well, in theory, Batman could defeat Squirrel Girl with Prep Time, but Squirrel Girl wins because she doesn't need prep time to beat Batman.
*** The amount of Prep Time he needs is longer than the lifespan of the multiverse.
