History MemeticBadass / WebComics

* ''Webcomic/StandStillStaySilent'': Being a TaughtByExperience HunterOfMonsters captain from a future UsefulNotes/Norway that seems to have returned to its ancient Viking lifestyle, Sigrun gets this a lot.

** V's Mate can beat anyone just by using a pointy stick.

* A piece of fan art for ''Webcomic/{{Narbonic}}'' made the distinctly non-BadAss Dave Davenport out like Bruce Willis. The non-canonical Sunday comics, which were used to [[FourthWallMailSlot have the characters show off]] fan art, fan fiction, and side stories, meant Dave got to directly see himself rendered as a {{Badass}}, began demanding the comic change artists, and gave him a (somewhat implied, but outright mentioned once) canonical man-crush on Willis. Coincidentally, the comic's artist eventually married this fan artist. And Dave ultimately went on to [[spoiler:become amazingly BadAss in a [[MadScientist completely different, somewhat nerdy]] way.]]

*** As [[http://ariyannaxshiku.deviantart.com/art/Random-Homestuck-Troll-Character-Facts-316952914 this fic]] explains it, ''"[[DrowningPool Let The Bodies Hit The Floor]]"'' was originally written to be his theme song. (Also, Tavros can set ants on fire with a magnifying glass. At night.)

** [[TwoWordsObviousTrope Two Words:]] Dragon Kicker.

* [[TheAwakened Sue]] [[http://www.mousekaroos.com/theawakened/whoneedssleeppage16.html killed a bear]].

*** And then he [[spoiler: breaks out of his cage by kicking away a loose bar, snaps the bar off for a weapon, charges at Redcloak (a cleric of level 16 plus), takes a disintegrate to the FACE! (a spell that when cast by a lower level wizard, nearly takes out a dragon) then saves Vaarsuvius and helps get rid of Xykons phylactery. Later he gives Roy a partial list of Xykons' spells. How did he get this? "One saving throw at a time"]] He affected TheUnseen, nudging the most powerful character in the comic from evil by simply being a respectful friend.

** Also, Bro Strider, when he's not portrayed as a MemeticMolester.

* ''Webcomic/AxeCop'' and his team
* {{Drowtales}} fans have turned Quain'tana into this. Creator/ChuckNorris fears [[http://www.drowtales.com/mainarchive//20090813c18p017.jpg Quain's abs.]]

* Via [[SaturdayMorningBreakfastCereal Zach Weiner]] of SMBC, we have [[Webcomic/DinosaurComics Ryan North]]. Oh sorry, that should be [[http://www.qwantz.com/index.php?comic=1484 RYAN!!!!!]] [[http://www.qwantz.com/index.php?comic=1774 NORTH!!!!!!!!!!]]

* ''SomethingPositive'' had [[http://somethingpositive.net/sp02132008.shtml this strip]] featuring Creator/AlanMoore that portrayed him as one of these.

* Webcomic/IrregularWebcomic brings us Jane. Freakin'. '''[[PunctuatedForEmphasis Goodall]]'''.

* After an apparent [[spoiler:return from the grave to save John from monsters,]] Grampa [[FanNickname "Hass the Flame"]] Harley from ''Webcomic/{{Homestuck}}'' rapidly became one of these in the Webcomic/MSPaintAdventures fandom.

* KeychainOfCreation's [[OldMaster Ten Winds]]. "[[CatchPhrase JUSTICE]]!" Ten Winds made a permanent charm that lets him deal aggravated damage to anyone less badass than he is. He has never dealt bashing or lethal since. Ten Winds scared a pair of bandits so badly that it is likely that they will not stop fleeing until they end up in the [[Webcomic/TheOrderOfTheStick Order of the Stick]] universe.
* [[Webcomic/TheFancyAdventuresOfJackCannon Max Facepuncher can't wait for 2012 to get here, SO HE CAN KICK ITS ASS!!!]] He can punch a man so hard only his shoes are left, tear a man in half with his bare hands, can use a canoe as a melee weapon, and is actually what killed the dinosaurs. Don't believe me? [[http://twitter.com/MaxFacepuncher Check his Twitter.]] Also, he could dodge INSTANT MURDER if he had to. And he's a champion boatfighter. As in fighting boats, not fighting on boats. Although he can also kick ass while on a boat as well.

* From QuestionableContent, we have Steve. He joined the U.S. Department ''of Kicking Your Ass''. And won.
* ''I am [[LookingForGroup RICHARD!]] Chief Warlock of the Brothers of Darkness! Lord of the Thirteen Hells! Master of the Bones! Emperor of the Black! Lord of the Dead! And mayor of a little village up the coast.'' (Later pages would add Lord of the Dance and Mistress of Magma to his titles.)
* King Urtica in ''{{Exiern}}'' with a combination of Franchise/{{Batman}} like planning skills, [[Literature/{{Discworld}} Vetinari]] level people-reading skills, and Creator/ChuckNorris level fighting skill.

** Speaking of which, Tavros also has a thread dedicated to parodying Chuck Norris facts by listing ways in which Tvaros (aka adiosToreador) is badass... rapidly followed up by a disclaimer. For example:

* King Urtica in ''{{Exiern}}'' with a combination of {{Batman}} like planning skills, [[Literature/{{Discworld}} Vetinari]] level people-reading skills, and ChuckNorris level fighting skill.

* Doris, with one appearance as of this writing, has become this in the forums for ''{{Misfile}}''.
** Only heightened by an Angel of Heavenly Vengeance saying that Doris would [[http://www.misfile.com/?page=1255 create a greater punishment than he would]].

* In the universe of ''GirlGenius'', the Heterodyne Boys are indubitably {{Memetic Badass}}es. In the fandom, it's probably Baron Klaus Wulfenbach. Who conquered Europe in a matter of months -- uphill -- both ways -- in a zeppelin castle -- with a lollipop-sucking baby on his back.
** [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20070330 Let me tell you about Airman Higgs]].... The man is.. well... at this point, he's almost an in-universe ''MemeticBadass''. One of the GirlGenius forums has taken the next logical step; Airman Higgs facts. According to said facts, he participted in the Running of the Bulls and walked, cannot lose his hat even if it's knocked off, didn't get drunk after drinking 'lots of rum' because the alcohol didn't dare enter his bloodstream, won a staring contest against his own reflection, and bathes in Jaegerdraught, amongst other things.

* The ''Webcomic/GunnerkriggCourt'' forums have [[http://www.gunnerkrigg.com/archive_page.php?comicID=205 Boxbot]] as sort of an [[ButtMonkey anti-badass]] ("Boxbot's terrible"), to the point where he features heavily in Remix Comics. Similarly his "competent" counterpart, [[http://www.gunnerkrigg.com/archive_page.php?comicID=510 Robox]], is a more classic MemeticBadass. As is [[http://www.gunnerkrigg.com/archive_page.php?comicID=543 Mr. Thorn]] (and his beard, [[http://www.gunnerkrigg.com/archive_page.php?comicID=548 not that]] [[http://www.gunnerkrigg.com/archive_page.php?comicID=556 they don't]] [[http://www.gunnerkrigg.com/archive_page.php?comicID=558 deserve it]] [[http://www.gunnerkrigg.com/archive_page.php?comicID=559 in this case]]), the previous {{BFS}} wielding Dragon Slayer[=/=][[MundaneUtility Gym Teacher]].

* After an apparent [[spoiler:return from the grave to save John from monsters,]] Grampa [[FanNickname "Hass the Flame"]] Harley from ''Webcomic/{{Homestuck}}'' rapidly became one of these in the MSPaintAdventures fandom.

* King Urtica in ''{{Exiern}}'' with a combination of {{Batman}} like planning skills, [[{{Discworld}} Vetinari]] level people-reading skills, and ChuckNorris level fighting skill.

* ''Webcomic/{{AxeCop}}'' and his team

* O-Chul from ''Webcomic/OrderOfTheStick'' has become one of these, along with a list of "O-Chul facts". To be fair, he did survive being tossed into a spiked tank with an acid-breathing shark in it, and (off-screen) won a StaringContest against a basilisk...

* KeychainOfCreation's [[OldMaster Ten Winds]]. "[[CatchPhrase JUSTICE]]!" Ten Winds made a permanent charm that lets him deal aggravated damage to anyone less badass than he is. He has never dealt bashing or lethal since. Ten Winds scared a pair of bandits so badly that it is likely that they will not stop fleeing until they end up in the Webcomic/OrderOfTheStick universe.

* Webcomic/IrregularWebcomic brings us Jane. Freakin'. '''[[ThisIsSPARTA Goodall]]'''.
