29Awesomeness seems to be either [[LamarckWasRight inherited]], [[TrainingFromHell instilled at an early age]], or both. There is at least one WallOfWeapons somewhere in the household. Nearly every member of the family could kick ungodly amounts of ass. They may be {{Super Hero}}es or {{Badass Normal}}s in a SuperFamilyTeam. Even the cute little 5-year-old child could do things that would net most professional soldiers [[SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome a Medal Of Honor or similar medal]] -- and they do this kind of stuff ''daily''. But the real magic of this family? Their indestructibility as a team. As strong as any member may be individually, when fighting together, their strengths balance their weaknesses and they support each other to the bitter end -- [[CasualDangerDialogue and meanwhile will remind each other to pick up the groceries]].
30
31Needless to say, take on this family, or threaten one of its members, at your own peril -- and don't be surprised when you lose badly to them.
32
33On account of their (usually) unspoken reliance on ThePowerOfLove, the Badass Family tends to be good guys, though maybe more {{Chaotic|Good}} than {{Lawful|Good}}. The matriarch is likely to be an ActionMom. Even if she's not, she'll surely be a MamaBear. Likewise for the ActionDad. Expect the grandparents to be {{retired badass}}es who, if necessary, can show that they StillGotIt.
34
35Any kids they might have will be in distinct age groups -- only [[GooGooGodlike one baby,]] or [[AnnoyingYoungerSibling one "kid"]], or one [[EmoTeen teenager]], unless there's a twin, in which case [[WonderTwinPowers watch out]]. Harming the children of a Badass Family is generally a ''very'' [[PapaWolf bad]] [[MamaBear idea]].

38
39A Badass Family minus the family equals the BadassCrew. A Badass Family minus the children is a BattleCouple. A Badass Family plus superpowers is a SuperFamilyTeam. A Badass Family that stays badass over many years through descendants is called a HeroicLineage. Some {{Master Apprentice Chain}}s can also be depicted like this. See WrestlingFamily for the ProfessionalWrestling equivalent.

54!!General
55* In [[https://www.deviantart.com/slifofinadragon SilfofinaDragon]]'s ''VideoGame/SengokuBasara'' fanfics, UsefulNotes/DateMasamune and UsefulNotes/SanadaYukimura have two children Yuki and Masa, with Yukimura being [[MisterSeahorse the mother]]. [[spoiler:Eventually, Masa's former [[SplitPersonality split personality]] Sei separates due to [[HotWitch Kyogoku Maria]]'s magic, thus becoming their third]].
56* In the ''Literature/{{Discworld}}'' of Creator/AAPessimal, there is the Smith-Rhodes clan. Descendants of an imperial adventurer from the Sto Plains who carved out a new colony in [[DarkestAfrica Howondaland]] -- which with superb self-effacing modesty, he named [[UsefulNotes/{{Zimbabwe}} Smith-Rhodesia]] after himself, one side of the family remained Morporkian-speaking and carved out its own empire in gold and diamonds. Which they are determined to keep, by any means necessary. The other branch, currently ruled (or so he thinks) by its patriarch Andreas "[[NamesToRunAwayFrom Barbarossa]]" Smith-Rhodes, became farmers and landowners in the Vondalaans-speaking Boer half of the nation. His daughters Johanna and Mariella are trained Assassins. Two grand-daughters, one adoptive, are also Assassins. Any member of the family is guaranteed to give you a hard fight if you try to spoil their day. Johanna's daughters are respectively a witch, [[{{Tykebomb}} a trainee Assassin]], and a youngest who combines aspects of both in a deceptively mild package. The sons of both family lines can be almost as lethal, too.
57
58!!Specific Examples
59* ''Fanfic/AgeOfDragons'' has the Amells, and by extension the Hawkes. Ruya pointing out one of her great grandparents was an Amell is enough to scare Jerath and Anders, both of whom are extremely powerful abominations.
60* ''Fanfic/{{Aloha}}'': This being set after after [[Franchise/LiloAndStitch the four movies and television show]], the entire [[FamilyOfChoice ʻohana]] qualifies as this. Family members include [[LivingWeapon Stitch]], [[EvilGenius Jumba]], [[ObstructiveBureaucrat Pleakley]], over six hundred twenty other [[LivingWeapon experiments]], the (reinstated) Captain Gantu of the Galactic Armada and [[BrilliantButLazy Galley Officer Reuben]], and [[HeartIsAnAwesomePower Lilo]]. Nani is about the most normal member and even she's got BigSisterInstinct on her side.
61* ''Fanfic/BlossomingHearts'' upgrades the Cerise family into this, turning the parents into Keyblade Masters, Chloe a Keyblade wielder [[spoiler: and Princess of Heart]], and Parker into a ChildMage.
62* ''Fanfic/TheBridge'': The story features several examples.
63** The Godzilla "dynasty" is an unofficial example. The start was the original Godzilla now reborn as Kiryu being the grandfather, then his even more powerful son, Godzilla Senior. Senior then, by two cases of outside forces using his cells and then by adoption, "fathered" Biollante, Xenilla, and Godzilla Junior.
64** The Sentry family line contains some of the most decorated and legendary stallions and mares in the history of Equestria's guards and law enforcement. Played straight with Stalwart Sentry, but subverted with his son Flash Sentry. Flash clearly has the heart for heroics, just not the opportunity yet.
65** The Royal Sisters' family and family-by-choice. Princess Celestia and Luna are the most powerful of the ponies, and Celestia's honorary niece Cadance is no slouch either. Starswirl the Bearded served as the two's adoptive father and they were also raised by Equestria's original founders.
66* ''Fanfic/ABriefHistoryOfEquestria'' has Commander Hurricane, his wife Wind Whistler and their child Pansy.
67* ''Fanfic/CheatingDeath'' has [[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/13173434/5/Cheating-Death-Those-That-Lived Baron Overwhill]], [[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/13173434/8/Cheating-Death-Those-That-Lived Runa Peace]], and their son [[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/13173434/40/Cheating-Death-Those-That-Lived Rhyder Overwhill]]. How badass are they? Baron and Runa are the first and second Victors of District 2 respectively, with Baron being the first Career and Runa's win making District 2 the first District to have more than one winner. As for Rhyder, he won his Games at ''14'' (his parents won theirs at 18), and did so despite plenty of rigging designed to stack the odds against him.
68* ''Fanfic/CodexEquus'': Due to ''Codex Equus'' being a WorldOfBadass, many families and clans are this by default.
69** Almost all members of the Terran Royal Family are powerful warriors and beloved heroes in their own right. Emperor Golden Scepter is the progenitor of modern Ponykind and an unparalleled scientific/psychic prodigy. His children, the Aureusidae, are generally either full-fledged deities or demi-deities; the Terran Princes are the most famous, being accomplished demigods and leaders of their own military chapters. Queen Majesty, Golden Scepter's biological descendant and adoptive daughter, was the most powerful mortal mage to ever live with countless feats under her name, including the destruction of the [[GodOfEvil Malignant Powers]]. A [[https://www.deviantart.com/comments/1/861846716/4889704561 Codexverse drabble]] reveals that Golden Scepter is a son of Profectus Equus/Iridium Signet, one of the surviving Thirteen Empyreans and one of ''the'' first Alicorns created/fostered by King Equus himself, making him a (great-)grandfather of the entire Terran Royal Family.
70** The Gypsy-Sparkle family is also this. Duke Gypsy Night Light is a powerful {{Seer|s}} and sorcerer, and his wife, Duchess Twilight Velvet, is a formidable MagicKnight. Their son, Prince Shining Armor/Aegis Equestria, is the co-ruler of the returned Crystal Empire, the Fourth Age analogue of [[ComicBook/CaptainAmerica Pony Patriot]], the former commander of the Canterlot Royal Guard, and an Alicorn demigod. His younger sister, Princess Twilight/Amicitia Sparkle Equestria, is the present ruler of Equestria, [[spoiler:a divine {{Reincarnation}} of Mana Equus, one of Equinekind's thirteen progenitors]], and a talented EmperorScientist in addition to everything she did in canon. The badassery goes all the way to the First Age, with Twilight of Paradise Estate being a maternal ancestor through Velvet and Gypsy Wheel, the court Seeress of [[WorldsStrongestMan Queen Majesty]] herself, being a paternal ancestor through Night Light.
71** As children of Obitus Equus, the oldest Equine Death god in existence, the Three Deaths are a SiblingTeam who command similarly great power. Their children, collectively known as the Trimortidae, take after their biological/adoptive parents, and this includes to any adoptive/biological siblings outside the group. While the Trimortidae has characters from both the ''My Little Pony'' franchise and non-MLP media, it also includes members that are based on real-life historical figures and celebrities, such as Double Helix (Music/JimiHendrix), Sir Curtain Call (Creator/AlanRickman), and Bronze Gear (Creator/JamesDean).
72** The Grand Primevals are a group of siblings that contains some of the most powerful and ancient deities in the Equusian galaxy. Their biological/adoptive children are no slouches themselves, with notable examples being the [[LoveGoddess Amaredae]], the [[TheArchmage Filii Magicae]], the [[DreamWeaver Somareia]], the [[SecretTestOfCharacter Adversai]], and the [[GodOfEvil Malumidae]]. And they are ''[[MassiveNumberedSiblings numerous]]''.
73** Despite its troubled history, the Vaughoof family is a family of badasses. [[Music/StevieRayVaughan Moon Ray]] is presently an eldritch Alicorn god with power comparable to the [[TheOldGods Thirteen Empyreans]], and the most powerful {{Seer|s}} of his generation. His older brother and wife, Sunny Field and Velvet Heart, respectively, are powerful (Arch-)Angels, though they later become eldritch deities themselves after Ascending under Moon Ray's wing. Pepper Cook, the mother of Moon Ray and Sunny Field, is also an Angel who got empowered by [[LoveGoddess Princess Carnation]]. Her ex-husband, Sunny Mane, for all his many faults, was a war veteran from the "Second Great War" and it's noted his two sons got their immense potential for PsychicPowers from him.
74*** Moon Ray and Sunny Field's biological/adoptive children, the Liberi Lunae and Serenum Pueri, respectively, are generally either full-fledged deities or demi-deities who take after their parents, though mortal members are no slouches themselves. Notable members include [[WesternAnimation/StevenUniverse Blue Diadem]], a powerful [[TheArchmage Archmage]] and "Primeval"-level goddess; [[TheQuincyPunk Prince Dissonant Tune]], a music-based GodOfEvil; and [[VisualNovel/AngelsWithScalyWings Aerri Vaughoof]], considered to be one of the smartest Draconic beings alive.
75** The Heartstrings twins, Blue Suede and Bossa Nova, are simply {{Living Legend}}s. Blue Suede is a musical prodigy, a deadly sniper called "[[RedBaron The Blue Death]]", and one of the most powerful musical mages on the planet. He's also a BadassTeacher who helped countlessstudents, musicians or no, Ascend to godhood. Bossa Nova, while not as skilled in music like his younger brother, is a MagicKnight par excellence and it's not ed he's extremely talented in combat, far beyond what the Three Deaths taught him. Then they [[spoiler:reincarnate as Mana Equus during the "Dark Ages Crisis" and]] become Kings of the Corporatum Pantheon, increasing their power. Their badassery extends to Blue Suede and Bossa Nova's biological/adoptive children, with the Caerulidae being a prime example of this.
76** Like their canon counterparts, the [[Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventure Joestars]], the Goldstar Family is a clan of warriors, [[ThePowerOfTheSun Ripple users]], and [[FightingSpirit Stand users]] spanning multiple generations. Even illegitimate offspring like [[Manga/JojosBizarreAdventureDiamondIsUnbreakable Gosuke Goldstar]] (now Zeppelin-Goldstar) and [[Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventureGoldenWind Morning Glory Goldstar]] aren't exempt from the family's badassery. However, due to changes in character, circumstances, and choices, the Goldstars survive past the events of ''[[Manga/JojosBizarreAdventureStoneOcean Stone Ocean]]'' and become more prolific, its lineage spanning tens of thousands of years. Many of them went further by [[DeityOfHumanOrigin Ascending to godhood]].
77** The Zeppelin Family is also a Badass Family, as they had served as allies and/or mentors for the Goldstars for countless generations. Like the Goldstars, the Zeppelins survived past the events of ''[[Manga/JojosBizarreAdventureBattleTendency Battle Tendency]]'' thanks to the intervention of allies like Lamia and Volta, and became a generations-spanning lineage. Among them are [[Manga/JojosBizarreAdventureDiamondIsUnbreakable Sacred Peace Zeppelin]] (now Zeppelin-Goldstar) and [[Manga/JojosBizarreAdventureStardustCrusaders Hol Horse]], born Barreled Oats Zeppelin, who used to work for Godly Brand until he betrayed him for his BadBoss behavior. The aforementioned family members have also Ascended to godhood thanks to the Grand Primevals' tutelage.
78* ''Fanfic/ACrownOfStars'': Daniel and his family are the rulers of Avalon. Daniel and his wife Rayana are humans who ascended to godhood several millennia ago, and their numerous descendants are {{Physical God}}s or humans with divine blood. All of them have reality-warping, magical and/or psychic powers, have military training and lead their army from the frontlines.
79* ''Fanfic/ForTheGloryOfIrk'': When the Membrane family get a chance to fight together in Chapter 59, they prove to be an example of this. Dib has developed pretty good combat skills from his years fighting Zim, Gaz has grown from a LittleMissBadass to a fully grown ActionGirl, Professor Membrane has access to all kinds of awesome technology (including a MiniMecha), and his wife Moira has plenty of MadScientist gadgets left over from her [[VideoGame/{{Overwatch}} supervillain days]].
80* ''Fanfic/ForumOfThrones'':
81** Admittedly, it only consists of two members by the time the story is set, but both Durrandons are noted for their fighting skills. This trope runs in the family, as the Storm Kings of House Durrandon are expected to be warrior kings and, save for some shameful exceptions, have lived up to these expectations.
82** House Targaryen does not have to hide from House Durrandon in terms of badassery. Aegon, Visenya and Rhaenys are dragon riders and set to conquer an entire continent. Their half-brother Orys is one of the most skilled swordsmen in all Westeros and their cousin Raenna has been trained as a ProfessionalKiller to perfection.
83* In ''Fanfic/{{The Games We Play|TheGamerRWBY}}'', The Arc family is this. ''Everyone'' is a badass in some way. Even Juane, who managed to gain Gamer powers and went FromNobodyToNightmare.
84* ''Fanfic/HellsisterTrilogy'' has the [[FlyingBrick Kryptonian]] [[ComicBook/{{Supergirl}} main character]], her -- as of the third story arc -- likewise Kryptonian husband, [[ComicBook/PowerGirl her counterpart]], [[Franchise/{{Superman}} her cousin]], her cousin's descendant, and [[Franchise/{{Batman}} their]] [[ComicBook/{{Shazam}} whole]] [[ComicBook/LegionOfSuperHeroes extended]] [[Franchise/JusticeLeagueOfAmerica family]]... comprising the world's greatest heroes.
85* ''Fanfic/JoJoNewUniverse'': As is the case in ''Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventure'', there are several prominent families in the fanfic series that kick ass.
86** The Joestar Family is one of the most prominent family lineages in the setting, starting with Phantom Blood's Jonathon Joestar and his adoptive sister Lydia "Twilight Sparkle" Twilight. While Jonathon Joestar starts out normal like his canon counterpart, he eventually becomes a prodigious Hamon and Stand user, whereas Twilight from the get-go is a prodigy in both academics and Hamon, and introduced the concept of Stands way earlier than canon did by virtue of being a Stand user herself. Jonathon Joestar eventually marries and settles down with his wife, Erina Joestar (nee Pendleton), creating multiple generations of Joestars who went on to help save the world from multiple threats, including vampires, Pillar Men, {{Serial Killer}}s, etc.
87** The Zeppeli Family has served as allies and/or mentors of the Joestars, starting with Phantom Blood's William Zeppeli. Unlike canon, where the Zeppelis tend to be very short-lived and often die to give incentive for the Joestars to fight on, the changed setting means the Zeppelis get to establish more generations, leading to the birth of the likes of Stardust Crusaders' Hol Horse, Spirit Tracks' Gyro Zeppeli, and Golden Wind's Rarita "Rarity" Zeppeli. The Zeppelis also contain powerful Hamon and Stand users. And while Hol Horse starts off as a hired mercenary and assassin for DIO, a series of events leads to him [[HeelFaceTurn joining the heroes]] and [[SpannerInTheWorks playing a important role in DIO's death]] upon realizing how bad his boss truly is.
88** The Speedwagon Family, thanks to Robert E. O. Speedwagon falling in love and marrying Twilight, also has multiple generations to its name. In addition to heading [[BigGood one of the biggest organizations in the setting]], the Speedwagon Family has a few heroic members like the twins Iro "Rainbow Dash" Dashell and Rusty "Shining Armor" Dashell, as well as Shining Armor's wife, Cadence Dashell. Like the Zeppeli Family, the Speedwagon Family is a prominent ally of the Joestars, though they often assist by providing vital information and other resources needed to save the day.
89* ''Fanfic/AKingdomDivided'' has [[BadassBookworm Cloudchaser]], her sister [[ShotgunsAreJustBetter Flitter]], and their cousin Cloud Kicker.
90* ''Fanfic/LegacySeries'': As various villains find out over the course of the series, it is an absolutely terrible idea to go up against the [[Series/{{Arrow}} Queens]]. Oliver and Felicity's teenage son has a hard time believing this.
91--> "The whole family was vigilantes? Like, ''everybody''? Jesus Christ."
92* ''Fanfic/NotTheIntendedUseZantetsukenReverse'' has quite a few of them.
93** The [[Franchise/{{Castlevania}} Belmont family]] has produced powerful monster hunters for almost a millennia.
94** And branching from them are several other badass families, like the Morris and [[BlackMagicianGirl Belnades]] clans.
95** Whatever weird mess is happening with Dracula's family, Soma, and the Lecarde clan[[labelnote:Explanation]] The author acknowledges the headcanon that the Lecarde clan are descendants of Alucard and Maria Renard[[/labelnote]], they are all undoubtedly badass. Vampiric and magic powers, experienced in intense combat, and easily able to keep up with the Belmonts.
96** [[VideoGame/Persona2 The Suou family]]. The Tatsuya from the Other Side is one of the strongest Persona users in the world, the Katsuya from This Side is not far behind him, and the remaining Tatsuya and Katsuya have picked a few tricks from them. Then there's their cousin [[VideoGame/ShinMegamiTenseiI Kazuya who is the most powerful Devil Summoner]] in the world, and his wife Aoi is a powerful MagicKnight and former rebel leader.
97* ''Fanfic/PeterParkerNeedsAHug'': The Bat family. Enough said.
98* Crossover fanfiction ''Fanfic/PointMeAtTheSkyrim'' has New Wave, Antares' old superhero team. Consisting of her Father (Flashbang), Mother (Brandish), Uncle (Manpower), Aunt (Lady Photon), older Cousin (Laserdream), younger cousin (Shielder), and adopted Sister (Panacea).
99* ''Fanfic/PonyPOVSeries'':
100** The Apple Family certainly counts, particularly since it's shown Big Macintosh is a potential Bearer of Honesty and Apple Bloom certainly has her BadassAdorable moments.
101** The Apple Pie clan from [[BadFuture Dark World]], in part due to growing up in a WorldOfChaos. Their average reaction to a rampaging monster attacking their farm is to blow it up... then ''eat it''.
102* ''Fanfic/RealityChecksNyxverse'': The entire Sparkle Clan is this -- in addition to [[BadassBookworm Twilight]], [[RankScalesWithAsskicking Shining Armor]], and [[PrettyPrincessPowerhouse Cadence]], Twilight and Shining's parents get their own moments of badassitude as well in different fics (in ''Nyx's Family'', Night Light gives a combination of a BadassBoast and TheReasonYouSuckSpeech to some tabloid reporters, while in ''Alicornundrum'', Velvet goes full MamaBear on some nobles badmouthing Twilight). Additionally, even Nyx gets BadassAdorable moments, while Spike (officially adopted in this series) eventually [[TookALevelInBadass takes a few levels]] [[spoiler: (especially when he learns to [[VoluntaryShapeshifting sizeshift]])]]. Ink Spot, Twilight's {{Love Interest|s}} and eventual husband, gets in on this a few, mostly when he's being a PapaWolf for Nyx.
103* ''Fanfic/RemnantInferisDOOM'':
104** The Blazkowicz family is pure badassery. First there's the Doom Slayer, who's been mowing through demonkind for eons and has left them scared shitless. Then there's his father, the original Doom Marine who killed the Icon of Sin. And then you have their ancestors, who tore through the Nazis and left the Reich terrified. That's not even getting into his mother's side of the family, who descends from the bloodline of King Ormero, aka the first king of [[ProudWarriorRace Argent D'Nur]].
105** The Rose/Xiao Long/Branwen family is another one considering that the two daughters are two highly skilled Huntresses-in-training who've built up a massive demon body count, their father has been protecting his home from berserk Grimm attacks alongside their pet dog, and Qrow mentored Ruby in wielding one of the most dangerous types of weapons on Remnant.
106* A number show up in the ''WebAnimation/{{RWBY}}''/''Literature/TheHobbit''/''Literature/TheLordOfTheRings'' FusionFic ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/11852303/1/Rise-of-a-Star-Knight Rise of a Star Knight]]'' (and its sequel, ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12404778/1/Knights-of-Remnant-The-Ring-of-Darkness Knights of Remnant: The Ring of Darkness]]''):
107** The Arcs look to be one of these, being one of the four families that make up the titular Star Knights, who are the [[DistaffCounterpart Spear Counterparts]] to the Maidens, though their powers are instead passed from father to eldest(surviving) son (or brother, if they have no son). As well, Jaune's [[CoolBigSis older sister]], Carolina, is a highly skilled warrior, teaching Jaune to fight and use his new powers, and she's the [[FourStarBadass General]] of the [[BadassArmy Sky Knights of Vale]], the personal army of the Star Knight of Vale. And yes, that does mean [[ButtMonkey Jaune]] has his own army.
108*** By extension, the other three families that act as the Star Knights for their respective kingdoms, the [[WesternAnimation/{{Pocahontas}} Smith family]] of Vacuo, the Nikos' of Mistral, and the Numenors of Atlas[[note]]Boromir, Faramir, and Denethor, with Boromir being the Star Knight of Atlas[[/note]].
109** Nora's extended family, the [[TheClan Valkyrie Clan]] (or House Valkyrie), who take the place of the dwarves in this story, including creating Moria and other feats of stoneworking, and creating stuff from {{Mithril}}. [[spoiler: Unlike in the books, it's revealed that some of the Valkyries survived Moria, fleeing while Nora's [[NeverMessWithGranny grandma]] Sif, the Lady of Moria, made a {{LastStand}}]].
110** [[spoiler:The Royal Family of Rohan, who are the Nikos family and the Royal Family of Mistral in this story, with Pyrrha being the niece of Théodan, and cousin of Éomer, Éowyn, and Théodred. As well, Éomer is the Star Knight of Mistral]].
111* ''Fanfic/ASmallCrime:'' [[spoiler: Siv is the leader of an assassin's guild (or at least in very high authority). Her little sister, Kit, is one of her best-trained members]].
112* By the end of ''Fanfic/YoungJusticeDarknessFalls'', we have 2 official badass families. On one side, we have the arrow/speedster family, united through [[spoiler:Wally West and Artemis Crock's marriage, which has the flash family on one side with SuperSpeed, and the BadassNormal family of Sportsmaster, Cheshire and Tigress on the other]]. The other family through marriage is the [=SuperMartian=] family, which has [[spoiler: Superman, Supergirl and Superboy on one side, while Martian Manhunter, Mrs. Martian and Beast boy are on the other]]. And even better, both families now have a grandkid as well.
113* ''Fanfic/SonOfTheSannin'': Unlike in canon, Naruto grows up with a large adoptive family, and every one of them (except his infant niece and nephew) are powerful ninja in their own right. Considering the fact that both aforementioned infants are [[BornWinner Uchiha]], the deck is heavily stacked in their favor.
114* In ''Fanfic/SupermanOf2499TheGreatConfrontation'', the [[Franchise/{{Superman}} House of El]] may be a big, screwed family, torn by inner strife, but they still are a whole family of [[FlyingBrick Kryptonians]].
115* ''Fanfic/ThingsInvolvingShipgirlsThatAreNoLongerAllowed'': The Yamaprise family: Yamato, Enterprise (the best known, beloved and toughest ships of their respective navies) and their daughters Yoshino and Hope. Messing with one tends to get the others on your butt such as Taffy-3 stealing Yamato's clothes as payback for Samar and replacing them with a towel. Yoshino finds their hiding spot and delivers a {{Hey You Haymaker}} and beats Taffy-3 up for messing with her mother.
116* ''Franchise/{{Tron}}: Endgame Scenario'': Alan and Lora-[=Ma3a=] are SquishyWizard types, but are still a GodCouple with the User powers to back it up. Jet is decidedly uncomfortable with the whole User idea, but can still hold his own in a straight fight. The Bradleys consider Sam Flynn and Quorra part of the family, and they're no strangers to combat. ''Then'' you have Alan and Lora's Program children; Yori is still the weakest fighter (though she leveled up a bit there) and designs weaponry while Tron hasn't lost a bit of his skills and Alan's continued updates mean he's still defending cyberspace as Alan's champion.
117* ''Fanfic/{{Vapors}}'': The [[Manga/{{Naruto}} Uzumaki clan]] is this. They have four members, the minimum allowed to qualify as a ninja clan, one of whom was adopted in, but three of those members studied under a tannin or sannin's student while the Clan Head was apprenticed under the Fourth Hokage's apprentice and became an S-rank threat before turning 17.
118* ''Fanfic/WithThisRing'': In addition to the Bat Family (Batman, Robin, etc.), we also have a burgeoning Wonder Woman family, consisting of Cassie Sandsmark (future Wonder Girl), Donna Troy (Troia), Kon-El/Conner Kent (Superboy), and Orange Lantern.
119[[/folder]]
120
121[[folder:Films -- Animation]]
122* Generations upon generations of Sanchez bullfighters (and would-be musicians) right on down to Carlos, Carmen, Manolo [[spoiler: and Maria]] in ''WesternAnimation/TheBookOfLife''.
123* ''WesternAnimation/{{Brave}}'': Merida is a peerless archer, Fergus a seasoned warrior and leader, and the boys are a team of cunning ninjas. Elinor seems to be the odd one out as her strength is in communication, then you see her Strolling Through the Chaos.
124* ''WesternAnimation/TheCroods'' are a family of cavemen who are, from baby Sandy to elderly Gran, capable of defending themselves from and outwitting or outfighting nearly everything they come across.
125* ''WesternAnimation/DespicableMe2'': By the end of the movie, [[spoiler: the Gru Family which includes -- Gru himself, the girls, Dr. Nefario, the minions, Marlena Gru, and Lucy Wilde after she marries Gru count. In fact, they rank right there with the Incredibles; and the Grus don't even have superpowers]]! ''WesternAnimation/DespicableMe3'' adds Gru's father, Robert, and twin brother (Dru).
126* ''Franchise/TheIncredibles''. ActionMom, PapaWolf, [[GooGooGodlike baby]], [[AnnoyingYoungerSibling kid]], [[EmoTeen teen]]: check, check, check, check, and check.
127* Disney's ''Franchise/TheLittleMermaid'' franchise has the royal family -- The titular protagonist, Ariel, is a tough, determined mermaid whose not afraid to attack a sea witch who now wields the triton to save her love interest. Speaking of love interest, Eric (Ariel's love interest/husband) is a skilled mariner who ''killed'' the same sea witch with a boat. Ariel's father, Triton, is the true wielder of the trident and is not afraid to use it to protect his loved one. Ariel's older sisters may not have a lot of action-packed moments, but the TV series shows that when danger comes, anyone of them is prepared themselves and others. The sequel movie ''WesternAnimation/TheLittleMermaidIIReturnToTheSea'' adds Ariel and Eric's daughter, Melody, who is as much as a hero as her mother. And [[WesternAnimation/TheLittleMermaidIIIArielsBeginning the prequel]] ''finally'' introduced Ariel's mother, Athena, who went MamaBear for one of her children to protect the child from dangerous pirates.
128* The titular family from ''WesternAnimation/MeetTheRobinsons'' is this. This is best displayed in their battle against the Bowler Hat Guy-controlled dinosaur.
129* ''WesternAnimation/TheMitchellsVsTheMachines''
130** The titular Mitchells are a dysfunctional family on a road trip who manage to go from barely surviving a RobotWar to saving humanity while learning to bond.
131** The trope is spoofed with the Mitchells' neighboring family, the Poseys. Not only are the Poseys [[TheAce perfect in every way the dysfunctional Mitchells aren't]], they've also apparently been training for dangerous situations and are easily able to make it to their car with some fancy acrobatic moves once the robot uprising begins, with Jim Posey even saying "Family first!" as he kicks a robot's head off. [[spoiler:However, they still end up getting captured offscreen.]]
132* In ''WesternAnimation/TurningRed'', all of the Lee family women are capable of being formidable fighters once they are in their giant red panda forms.
133[[/folder]]
134
135[[folder:Films -- Live-Action]]
136* ''Film/BadBlack'': Ssali says that everyone in his family--his [[ActionDad father]], [[ActionMom mother]], brother, and even his ''[[ActionPet dog]]''--are all commandos except for him.
137* Then there are the Mc Candles in ''Film/BigJake''. Led by [[Creator/JohnWayne guess who?]]
138* The [=McManuses=] of ''Film/TheBoondockSaints'', include a pair of brothers who kill dozens of mobsters after finding their calling as vigilantes, and their father, an infamous killer, fresh out of serving a twenty five years sentence, that joins his sons by the end of the first movie.
139* ''Film/BrothersFive'': The titular brothers of this kung-fu movie are separated decades ago as babies when their enemies massacred their family. Years later, each of the five brother are capable fighters and martial artists on their own, where after they're reunited by a righteous swordswoman, they then team up to take down the villains to avenge their family. The five of them easily defeat entire ''armies'' throughout the film.
140* ''Franchise/TheFastAndTheFurious'':
141** The Torreto gang of carjackers may be surrogate and multi-racial, but their love and loyalty towards each other is stronger than most RealLife blood-families. In fact, they ''explicitly'' refer to each other as family rather than just "friends", particularly at gatherings and when saying grace at meals.
142** The Shaw family are a more traditional example. Magdalene, the matriarch, sits at the head of a vast, powerful criminal empire. Her three children are all members of British Special Forces branches -- Owen in the SAS, Deckard in UKSF, and Hattie in SIS; Owen and Deckard have also gone rogue and embarked on successful careers in terrorism.
143* ''Film/HowToTrainOurDragon'' has the Li siblings, comprised of a [[TheDreaded scary]] eldest sister with possible superpowers, an [[TheBaroness elegant and domineering]] second oldest sister, a middle sister who's an {{otaku}} and [[TheCracker expert hacker]], a second-youngest sister who's an [[ImprobableAimingSkills improbably good shot with a bow]], a cutesy youngest sister who's good at seducing guys, and their baby brother, who the five sisters are all dedicated to protecting and making sure he never gets a girlfriend.
144* ''Film/TheHost2006'': The Parks. True, for most of the movie they're shown as bumbling idiots... until they meet up with the giant mutant that killed their youngest member. Cue the slow-motion and the classical music as they take turns stabbing, burning, shooting, and impaling it...while standing unprotected in a cloud of toxic gasses.
145* ''Film/HouseOfFury'' is ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin. The father is a retired martial artist and ex-secret agent, and when enemies from his past catches up on him, his children -- both whom have inherited their dad's ass-kicking skills -- embarks on a daring rescue mission to save him.
146* The ''Franchise/IndianaJones'' film take "keeping up with the Joneses" to a whole new level. The family that the Fuhrer declared war on? Not including friends of the family which include (but may not be limited to) a {{determinator}} kid, John Rhys-Davies, and a few Oxford professors and federal agents, just to recap...
147** Dr. Henry Jones Sr. a BadassBookworm who takes out Nazis with [[ImprovisedWeapon fake Ming vases, ballpoint pens, an umbrella and a knowledge of Charlemagne's writings]].
148** Dr. Henry "Indiana" Jones Jr. also known as Mr. "Hey let's take a poll on who here has survived an atomic bomb. Oh wait, that would be me, Superman and the Hulk". Let the record show that this man has bested a tank and three Nazi trucks in one sitting, a [[PunchPunchPunchUhOh Dragon]] in every film, aliens, supernatural forces, light sensitive rocks, angry natives and once stood face to face with Hitler, and ''got his autograph.'' BAD. ASS.
149** Henry "Mutt" Jones the Third. a BadassBiker who fences against highly trained psychic Russian spymasters, swings around in trees with monkeys and carries a comb with him wherever he goes.
150** And then Marion Ravenwood who is the best drinker this side of the Himalayas and was willing to put on a [[FanService pretty dress]] just to have the opportunity to knife her friendly captor and escape. She also survives snakes, Nazis, and oh yeah, [[SmiteMeOhMightySmiter the wrath of God]]. She also drove a car through the jungle to rescue herself, Indy, and Mutt from their Communist captors. And ultimately rescued them all ''by driving off of a cliff and into a river'' with nary a scratch on any of them. A maneuver which freaked out ''Indy''. Oh, and since [[spoiler:she and Indy get married by the end of the fourth movie, it's safe to say she's in the family]].
151* Byron Williams and his two sons did their own separate but heroic acts in ''Film/MarsAttacks''
152* Many [[HumongousMecha Jaeger]] pilot teams in ''Film/PacificRim'' are this. Raleigh and Yancy Becket are brothers. Cheung, Jin, and Hu Wei are [[SameSexTriplets identical triplets]]. Hercules and Chuck Hansen are father and son. Aleksis and Sasha Kaidonovsky are married. Some other (deceased or retired) Jaeger teams were [[AlwaysIdenticalTwins identical twins]] (Romeo Blue), male-female cousins (Chrome Brutus), and married couples (Tacit Ronin, Brawler Yukon).
153* Tackleberry has founded one in the later ''Film/PoliceAcademy'' films. They all sleep with a weapon under their pillow, and [[MuggingTheMonster woe the burglar that picks their house as a target]].
154-->'''Father:''' Should we call for backup?
155-->'''Son:''' No. We can handle it.
156** His wife's family was the same way. Her father was a retired cop, she and her brother were cops and Mom was just as tough. They used to punch each other as a sign of affection.
157* The Shafts. Given that in a mid 90's movie adaptation the titular Film/{{Shaft}} is the nephew of the original ''and'' played by Creator/SamuelLJackson, being badass is a given.
158* The Racers in ''Film/SpeedRacer'' and extended family all apparently know how to deal out some awesome whoopass. Except [[ButtMonkey Sparky]]. Who still tries and manages to help out in his own way.
159* The Cortez family from the ''Franchise/SpyKids'' franchise, who provide the page image above. A family of secret agents working for the OSS. It started with their parents being secret agents, now Carmen and Juni are carrying on the tradition after the events of [[Film/SpyKids1 the first film]].
160* ''Franchise/StarWars'' has the Skywalker family and the Solo family, who are united by marriage. We've got ''two'' badass {{Action Mom}}s -- a Princess and a Queen -- ''two'' badass Jedi warriors, one smuggler pilot-turned Rebel hero, and [[spoiler:''two'' feared Dark Jedi, once we meet Han's son Kylo Ren]].
161** The Tarkin family provides a very dark example, as family tradition requires that the kids are brought in the wilderness every dry season to learn survival and be toughened up, making them formidable enough that Wilhuff (the most famous member of the family) can brag to be one of the few people to have beaten ''Darth Vader'' (Vader having asked Tarkin to lead a crew and hunt him down -- and Tarkin eventually tricking him into being hit by lightning)... But also worsening the sociopathic tendencies caused by the rest of their traditions.
162* The Earp brothers in ''Film/{{Tombstone}}''. Wyatt is already a legendary former lawman by the start of the film and Virgil and Morgan are quick to volunteer as new marshals after the previous one is murdered and the town is falling into lawlessness.
163* The Marshall family from ''Film/UpUpAndAway'', though some of them were old enough to be past their badass prime.
164* The Lightstones in ''Film/ViolentNight'' develop into one over the course of the night, with all of them (even Trudy) scoring kills on the mercenaries.
165* ''Film/WeCanBeHeroes2020'' has the Morenos span at least three generations of skilled, moral fighters; from Anita Moreno, who trains would-be superheroes in combat, to Anita's son Marcus, the RetiredBadass leader of the Heroics, to Marcus' daughter Missy, who forms her own team along with the other Heroics' children.
166[[/folder]]
167
168[[folder:Music]]
169* The O'Brien family in ''AudioPlay/TheNewAlbionRadioHour'', all of whom play a pivotal role in ending New Albion's generations-long civil war. John joined the city government's super soldier program after [[CrusadingWidow losing his wife]] to BombThrowingAnarchists, and was the only one to survive the process that turned him into an unstoppable rebel-killing {{cyborg}}. His sister Jacqueline's girlfriend was taken away and lobotomized when the government became increasingly authoritarian, leading Jackie to take over the main resistance group. John's daughter Constance, after her mother died and her father left, ended up becoming a very skilled (if naive) thief who stole [[JustLikeRobinHood on behalf of women who had been victimized by New Albion's unfair divorce laws]]. Each is badass on their own, but when they band together over the course of the album, they end up saving the city.
170[[/folder]]
171
172[[folder:Mythology & Religion]]
173* [[Myth/ClassicalMythology Greek Gods]] -- all of them badass, almost all related in one way or another. All children of Zeus were badasses, including several demigod heroes like Heracles, Perseus or brothers Castor and Polidekus. There's also Typhon's family -- dad is EldritchAbomination that make gods flee from Olympus, mom, Echnida, is a giant multiple-headed snake and their children are several well-known monsters, including Cerberus, Hydra and Chimera. Incidentally, Typhon is related to the Greek Gods by way of their grandmother, Typhon's mother, Gaea.
174* The Tuatha de Danaan of Myth/CelticMythology are a tribe of related deities, mortals, and demigods.
175** Pretty much any man blood related to Cathbad the druid grew up to be a total badass from Conchobar mac Nessa, [[WarriorPrince warrior king of Ulster]], to Conall Cernach, the number one cause of death among men of Connacht, to Cu Chulainn, the greatest hero in all of Ireland.
176* The Aesir, as befitting a warrior race of immortals worshiped by the goddamn VIKINGS define badass. Odin, Allfather, the Allwise and supreme king of all Asgardians has fathered and or adopted numerous children who definitely qualify as experts in asskickerey: Loki, Balder, and Hermod, with the primary example being his firstborn son Thor, God of Thunder. God of War, wielder of Mjolnir and Undisputed Ruler for Life of the Kingdom of YOU'RE FUCKED.
177[[/folder]]
178
179[[folder:Podcasts]]
180* The Rivendorn family from the ''Podcast/CriticalHit'', with both parents being spellcasters of TheArchmage level of power, just as the generations before them are alleged to be. This is the reason why Rivendown name [[AsskickingLeadsToLeadership carries some weight]], and it sets young [[AnAdventurerIsYou Orem]] a tough act to follow. He manages.
181* The Calloway family from ''Podcast/GaysInCapes'' is a classic example. Pretty much any member of all three generations can [[spoiler:and has]] put a boss in the ground single-handedly.
182[[/folder]]
183
184[[folder:Professional Wrestling]]
185* The Harts. Stu Hart had 12 kids, 8 boys and 4 girls. Seven of the boys became wrestlers (most famously Wrestling/{{Bret|Hart}} and Wrestling/{{Owen|Hart}}) and the only one who didn't wrestle became a referee. The four girls all married wrestlers (including Jim Neidhart and Wrestling/DaveyBoySmith). Stu's grandchildren include Teddy Hart, David Hart Smith and Wrestling/NatalyaNeidhart.
186* The Windhams. [[Wrestling/TheBlackjacks Blackjack Mulligan]] (Robert Windham) had two sons who wrestled: Wrestling/{{Barry|Windham}} and Kendall. His daughter married Barry's former tag team partner, Wrestling/MikeRotunda, and their sons Wrestling/{{Bo|Dallas}} and Windham are currently in WWE. Windham is Wrestling/BrayWyatt and Bo is Wrestling/BoDallas.
187* The Funks: Dory Sr. and his two boys, Dory Jr. and Wrestling/{{Terry|Funk}}. The sons are the only brothers to be NWA World Champion.
188* Almost all of the Samoan wrestlers are interrelated. Peter Maivia, Afa, Sika, Samu, Fatu/Wrestling/{{Rikishi}}, Jamal/Wrestling/{{Umaga}}, Rosie, [[Wrestling/DwayneJohnson The Rock]], Wrestling/{{Yokozuna}}, Wrestling/RomanReigns, Wrestling/TheUsos, Solo Sikoa and others.
189* The Vachons: brothers Maurice "Mad Dog" and Paul "The Butcher", their sister Vivian and Paul's daughter Wrestling/{{Luna|Vachon}}.
190* The Guerreros: Gory Guerrero, his four sons (Chavo Sr., Hector, Mando and Wrestling/{{Eddie|Guerrero}}) and his grandson, Wrestling/ChavoGuerreroJr
191* The Armstrongs: "Bullet" Bob Armstrong had four sons who wrestled: Brad, Scott, Steve and Brian (Road Dogg in WWE).
192* The [=McMahons=]: Wrestling/VinceMcMahon (60something billionaire who takes chair shots and beatings for fun and profit), his wife Linda, son Wrestling/ShaneMcMahon (PWI's Rookie of the Year, known widely for surprising amounts of wrestling ability), daughter Wrestling/StephanieMcMahon (head of creative and wrestler), and Stephanie's husband, thirteen-time champion Wrestling/TripleH.
193* Professional wrestler El Chico Ilegal Chicano is better known among boxing circles as Carlos Cotto(Carlos Omar Cotto Cruz), mainly for his low key amateur boxing career that was put to an end by Puerto Rico's athletic commission, which discovered he was a professional wrestler and decided he would have to box professionally too if he wanted to keep fighting. Carlos thrived in both sports, and his daughter Dorris has also dipped her feet in boxing in wrestling. Other boxers in the Cotto family include national featherweight champion Abner Cotto, the first Puerto Rican to be a world champion in four wieght divisions "Junito" Miguel Cotto (who in turn is the son of another boxer Miguel Cotto Sr and trained in boxing by another family member, Evangelista Cotto), and Pan American silver medalist Jose Cotto.
194* While only Wrestling/RandySavage was the only one of his family to be World Champion, he was also from a family of wrestlers who included his brother [[RedBaron The Genius]] "Leaping" Lanny Poffo, and his father, Angelo Poffo, who in addition to being a hall of fame wrestler in his own right, also holds the record for number of sit-ups in a row at 6,033.
195* Chicano's manager Wrestling/BlackRose is the niece of three boxers, one of which is the world batamweight champion Julian Solís, who wanted her to become a boxer before her mom cut her boxing career short. Her mom and sister themselves did taekwodo, while her dad and daughter did track and field.
196* The Steiner: Rick and Wrestling/ScottSteiner. Rick has a son current NXT Champion Bron Breakker.
197* The Laurinaitis: Joseph "Animal" Laurinaitis of Wrestling/TheRoadWarriors, Wrestling/JohnLaurinaitis aka Johnny Ace and Marc Laurinaitis also known as Fury of the Wrecking Crew and The Terminator.
198* The Flair: 16-times World Champion Wrestling/RicFlair with his son David Flair has won title at any promotion he wrestled, a daughter 15-times Women's Champion Wrestling/CharlotteFlair and son in law former NXT Champion & former United States Champion Wrestling/AndradeCienAlmas or El Idolo.
199* The Misterio/Mysterio: WWE Grand Slam Champion Wrestling/ReyMysterio with his son Dominik Mysterio has won [=SmackDown=] Tag Team Champions. Rey's uncle Rey Misterio Sr has won many title at any promotion he wrestled also they both won WWA Tag Team Champions. Rey's cousin El Hijo del Rey Misterio also won title at promotion he wrestled.
200[[/folder]]
201
202[[folder:Tabletop Games]]
203* In the ''TabletopGame/BattleTech'' games's FeudalFuture, a half-dozen families and their descendants were so epically badass in both giant mecha fighting and dominating people through sheer testicular fortitude that each family spawned an ''entire interstellar civilization''.
204* In the ''[[TabletopGames/CerberusEngineGames Cartoon Network Crisis Crossover Deck-Building Game]]'', [[WesternAnimation/TheAmazingWorldOfGumball The Wattersons]] count as a Super Hero.
205* Most of the great Viking clans in ''TabletopGame/FateOfTheNornsRagnarok'' go out of their way to out-badass each other, notably in the "murder" department. The other have sired great heroes, such as Sigurd (Fafnir's slayer), Beowulf, etc.
206* The "Action Family" ensemble from the TabletopGame/FengShui supplement ''Friends Of The Dragon'' is essentially this -- a PlayerCharacter ensemble that kicks ass as a family.
207* Creator/GamesWorkshop games:
208** Ostlander Mercenary warbands from ''TabletopGame/{{Mordheim}}'' are made up of an entire extended family that has left their home village to make their fortune in the City of the Damned. Hardy and self-sufficient, these Ostlanders are talented hunters who enjoy a good drunken brawl and possess an intense hatred of Chaos.
209** In ''TabletopGame/Warhammer40000'', TheEmperor and [[TrulySingleParent his sons]]. A [[PhysicalGod godlike]] [[CrystalDragonJesus saviour of humanity]], and twenty sons survived being scattered by [[CosmicHorrorStory Chaos]] across the galaxy, all growing up to be the progenitors of [[BadassArmy armies of]] [[SuperSoldier super-soldiers]]. Shame about the whole Literature/HorusHeresy deal.
210* ''TabletopGame/MagicTheGathering'' gives us The Abzan Houses of Tarkir, a massive clan of desert warriors with emphasis on ''clan''. Adoptive members alone include [[BirdPeople Aven vultures]], [[BeastMan dog-like Ainok]], and several [[OurOrcsAreDifferent Orcs]]. Every member, [[OurGhostsAreDifferent living or dead]], is ready to march into battle, and they do it with all the comforts of home mounted on WarElephants. To top it all off, their signature mechanics are ''based'' on family bonds and allow them to gradually strengthen each other.
211* The Ortegas of ''TabletopGame/{{Malifaux}}'' are a family of monster-hunting gunslingers. They are tremendously successful in a job whose life expectancy is normally measured in days.
212* The Oberlindes Family in ''TabletopGame/{{Traveller}}''. They are a dynasty of frontier Merchant Princes who rose from being a band of [[IntrepidMerchant Free Traders]] to almost MegaCorp status. In the process they had more than one SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome. The most notable was when they bought a war surplus ship, fitted it out with weapons by [[TheScrounger convoluted and extralegal means]] and sent it to trade through Vargr space scareing off every [[SpacePirates corsair]] with their firepower.
213[[/folder]]
214
215[[folder:Visual Novels]]
216* ''Franchise/AceAttorney''
217** Unconventional example in the dysfunctional Fey clan, a group of otherwise staid women who are frequently locked in bloody conflict. Badasses for good include IronWoobie Maya, BadassTeacher Mia, YamatoNadeshiko [[spoiler:Iris]], and MamaBear Misty. Badasses for evil include ManipulativeBastard Morgan and [[spoiler:Dahlia]]. It's really a disproportionate amount of badass to be spread over two generations of the same family, and may explain why they're always trying to murder one another. The [[spoiler:final]] case of the [[spoiler:third]] game is something of a master class in badass, culminating in [[spoiler: Mia giving a [[TheReasonYouSuckSpeech Reason You Suck Speech]] to Dahlia so hardcore it ''sends her back to Hell'']]. ChildProdigy Pearl is nine in her first appearance but is reputedly more powerful in terms of spiritual power than Maya -- according to Maya herself, too!
218** And an evil([[HeelFaceTurn ish]]) example in the von Karmas. Manfred von Karma, his daughter Franziska von Karma, and his adopted son Miles Edgeworth are all prosecutors so perfect and amazing that the only person to ever defeat them in court is the protagonist Phoenix Wright. Manfred's flawless record stretches out for decades, Miles is so ruthless and effective that he's been called ''The Demon Prosecutor'' and Franziska passed the bar at ''thirteen''.
219** In the Apollo Justice arc, the Gavin brothers. You have the older brother Kristoph Gavin, defense attorney extraordinaire. Always a calm, cool and collected person who is not afraid to own your ass in court while being very courteous. [[spoiler:That is, unless you happen to reject him as a lawyer over a game of cards.]] And then you have rocker Klavier Gavin. Has his own band and has a very good reputation. Always willing to help Apollo [[spoiler:secure a conviction for a ''detective and bandmate'', even helping Apollo own Kristoph in court with the Jurist system]].
220* The Ushiromiya Family of ''VisualNovel/UminekoWhenTheyCry'' also qualifies as a BigScrewedUpFamily, oddly enough. Grandfather Kinzo has no talent for magic, but through several years of research and determination, managed to become a master summoner. He may not be able to use magic to even heat water to brew tea, but can summon a demon able to boil ''an ocean''. Eva is very skilled at martial arts, and Eva-Beatrice may be a sadist who likes to kill people in gruesome ways, but is pretty badass herself. Rosa managed to put a fight with a ''army'' of goatmen with only a gun, a purse, a pen and a gold bar. Jessica and George are [[BadassNormal Normal Badasses]] able to channel SupernaturalMartialArts with sheer willpower. And there's Battler [[spoiler:aka, the Endless Sorcerer]].
221* In the ''VisualNovel/ZeroEscape'' series, specifically in ''VisualNovel/VirtuesLastReward'' and ''VisualNovel/ZeroTimeDilemma'', [[spoiler:we have the family of Sigma and Diana, who both have the power of MentalTimeTravel as a result of the events of both games, and their twin children: Delta, a man gifted with the ability to [[PsychicPowers Mind Hack]] and uses this to become Zero in ''Zero Time Dilemma'', and Phi, who also gains the ability of Mental Time Travel. Sigma, Phi, and Diana also end up becoming the D-Team of ''Zero Time Dilemma'', though they don't learn their relationship until later in the game]].
222[[/folder]]
223
224[[folder:Web Animation]]
225* The clan of [[AnimateInanimateObject fruit]] {{ninja}}s in ''WebAnimation/BananaNanaNinja''.
226* ''WebAnimation/{{RWBY}}'':
227** [[TheHero Ruby Rose]] is a nice little girl, but she'll ruin your day if you mess with her. Of course, do that and you'll be in the firing line of her older half-sister [[CuteBruiser Yang Xiao Long]] too. Oh, and Ruby's cool uncle Qrow, who ''will'' protect them no matter who you are or what you are. And then there's the matter of Yang's MissingMom, who stepped in to save her daughter from a tight spot and caused her daughter's attacker to flee in terror at the mere sight of her. And their dad, who we haven't seen much of yet but is implied to be just as dangerous, being on a Grimm hunting team with them. [[ActionPet Also the family dog]]. Yep, not a family to be messed with.
228** Jaune's family is implied to be this as well, having generations of warriors, heroes and hunters as his legacy. Jaune himself? [[IJustWantToBeBadass Not so much]].
229** The Belladonna family are more than capable of taking care of business when things go straight to hell, as revealed in Volume 5. Just ask [[spoiler:the White Fang and the two brothers that Adam fielded to get rid of them]].
230** The Schnee family, though known more for their [[Fiction500 business empire]], have a legacy of producing powerful warriors. This is partially thanks to having a rare, heritary Semblance that allows them to create Glyphs capable of channeling Dust for magic-like effects or Summoning the "spirits" of defeated Grimm. Family Patriarch Nicholas used his experience as a soldier to start the company, personally helming expeditions and earning a reputation as a bold adventuer and honest business partner. His granddaughters, Weiss and Winter, chose to follow in his footsteps by becoming Huntresses. Winter became an elite member of the Atlas military, while Weiss excels as one of the members of the titular Team [=RWBY=]. [[spoiler: When the manor is attacked, Willow proves to be a MamaBear capable of summoning a ''massive'' [[FullBoarAction Grimm]] to defend her son from the Hound. Even Whitley, the youngest child that was openly disdainful of his sisters for becoming Huntresses, proves to be an incredibly brave GuileHero during the invasion of Atlas]].
231[[/folder]]
232
233[[folder:Webcomics]]
234* The [=McNinja=] family of ''[[Webcomic/TheAdventuresOfDrMcNinja The Adventures of Dr. McNinja]]'' is one of the most badass families out there. On top of being four of the deadliest ninjas in the world, one of them is also a doctor of EVERYTHING, one designs technology so advanced as to be indistinguishable from magic in his spare-time, the mom is a complete psycho, and the dad assumed the leadership role of all American ninjas by virtue of the authority in his mustache (he also sets himself on fire for fun sometimes). On top of that you've got the Doc's sidekick, the sharpshooting-acrobat raptor-riding-bandito mustachioed-12-year-old Gordito along with loyal receptionist Judy the GORILLA.
235* [[http://www.ambarb.com/?p=16 Yoosoman and his sons]] in ''Webcomic/AmericanBarbarian''.
236* [[Webcomic/BobAndGeorge The Andersons]] ([[{{Fanon}} though that's not their real surname...]]) kind of count. We have [[CainAndAbel Bob and George]] themselves, who are both {{Physical God}}s with ElementalPowers (PlayingWithFire and ShockAndAwe respectively), [[EldritchAbomination M]][[YouCannotGraspTheTrueForm o]][[BigGood m]], and her father, who according to WordOfGod, is [[spoiler:{{Satan}}]].
237** The Light-bots count, too. There's no important androids created by Dr. Light who aren't badass. However, if you count the {{alternat|eUniverse}}ives, [[TheDitz Alternate Proto Man]] and [[YamatoNadeshiko Roll-J]] kinda count. [[ObfuscatingStupidity We're not sure, though.]]
238* A villainous (or possibly {{Anti Villain}}ous) example is the Kappel family from ''Webcomic/{{Collar 6}}'', with Michael Kappel and his wife Evita [[spoiler:aka Butterfly]] as insanely powerful doms, and their slaves possess their own superpowers. Sixx even refers to them as "[[http://collar6.com/archive/collar-6-250 A whole family of super powered assholes]]."
239* Webcomic/DominicDeegan's Deegan family. Mother Miranda, [[spoiler: retired]] head of the Quiral School of the Arcane Arts and as an arch-mage, a powerful wizard in her own right; father Donovan, a master swordsman, renowned duelist and bard trained by elves; Jacob, the first son, a powerful necromancer trained by one of the oldest known necromancers in the series history; main protagonist and second son Dominic, who is a master at second sight magic and has [[TheChessmaster a keen knack for planning numerous steps ahead]] (and also gets visions); and youngest son Greg, who is a perennially cheerful white mage and skilled musician in his own right. Also, there is Dominic's fiancée, Luna, who has a knack for illusion magic and [[SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome once humiliated an old enemy of the Deegan family in combat.]]
240* In ''Webcomic/ElGoonishShive'', the Verres could count; Mr. Verres is a PapaWolf, his son Tedd is a MadScientist [[spoiler: who's been glowing lately so something's bound to happen]]. His cousin Nanase is a [[MagicalGirl Magical]] [[SupernaturalMartialArts Martial Artist]]. And the [[VoluntaryShapeshifting Shape Shifting]] [[HalfHumanHybrid Half-Squirrel Girl]] Grace lives with them and is Tedd's girlfriend. [[spoiler:And his [[MissingMom mother]] is apparently a legendary monster hunter. And his Aunt, Nanase's mother, is as involved in the weirdness as her brother-in-law is, but is better about hiding it from her children.]]
241* The Cannon family in ''Webcomic/TheFancyAdventuresOfJackCannon''. The father takes down [[NotSoHarmlessVillain Hackers]] with his bare hands while wearing [[RealMenWearPink a pink Kiss The Cook apron]]. The mother throws knives with devastating accuracy, and may or may not be a ninja. And the son? Among other moments of extreme badassery, took down a Hacker combat expert WITH HIS OWN KNIFE, punched his way back up to the surface when a Hacker had buried him deep underground, and is perhaps the only person in the world who can "bro-pound" with Max Facepuncher without shattering his hand. That last part is especially badass when you read the 24 hour comic "So Now I Hate The Moon", and realize that Max Facepuncher can punch people into the sun, and once killed the moon with a double facepunch. So Now I Hate The Moon starts here: http://forums.pulpfaction.net/viewtopic.php?f=60&t=4033
242* ''Webcomic/GirlGenius'':
243** Heterodynes are a family of powerful [[MadScientist Sparks]], who were feared and hated even among others of their own kind, to say nothing about the rest of the continent. They created Castle Heterodyne –- an omnipotent sentient SupervillainLair with a dark sense of humor and Jägermonsters -– scientifically modified {{Super Soldier}}s, chosen among those completely loyal to the house Heterodyne. Then Bill and Barry happened. They redeemed their family’s name by travelling across Europa and defeating monsters and evil Sparks, and were considered the greatest heroes of their generation. There is also Agatha –- a powerful Spark in her own right.
244** Klaus and Gilgamesh Wulfenbach. Klaus returned to Europa only with his infant son in tow and still managed to conquer a good chunk of the continent by himself, apparently for its own good. He is single-handedly keeping peace in his Empire by keeping rampaging madboys and arrogant nobles in check. He and Gilgamesh are both powerful Sparks and very potent fighters, to the point [[SuperSoldier Jägers]] are scared of them. If rumors are true [[spoiler: then there is also Baron's [[LongLostRelative long lost]] BadassNormal daughter -- princess Zeetha]].
245** Valois/Sturmvoraus/von Blitzengaard family. Their ancestor was one of the greatest kings of all time -- Andronicus Valois, the Storm King. Currently family consists mainly of {{Manipulative Bastard}}s, backstabbers and {{McNinja}}s. Most prominent members are Tarvek -- once again a powerful Spark, exellent shamer and a good fighter and Violetta -- a Smoke Knight.
246* ''Webcomic/{{Homestuck}}'' has all of the Strider family. [[MemeticMutation All of them.]]
247** Bro Strider [[spoiler:(really Ectobiological-Paradox-Clone-[[StableTimeLoop Stable-Time-Loop]]-Father Strider -- ItMakesSenseInContext)]] is a master of the ironic arts, can FlashStep fast enough to use stop motion animation as a fighting technique, and is the only character in the comic powerful enough to fight [[BigBad Jack Noir]] to a standstill in single combat.
248** Dave is probably the strongest of the kids [[spoiler:pre-God Tier]] and kicks a ridiculous amount of ass while in the Medium, not to mention the antics he gets up to [[spoiler:as Davesprite]].
249** Finally, we have Dirk Strider, [[spoiler:the [[AlternateUniverse Alpha Universe]] incarnation of Bro]] who is arguably the most Badass of all. [[spoiler:Born in a BadFuture, he had to ''raise himself'' from birth with nothing but a DemonicDummy for company. He dabbles in robotics -- if by dabbling you mean creating fully sentient AIs and combat robots that can slay giant seadragon-lusii easily. (Dirk can beat these combatbots effortlessly, for comparison.) He maintains a [[HiveMind group consciousness]] by keeping his dream self awake permanently, and uses it to slay enemy agents in single hits and to stage rebellions ''just by showing up''.]]
250** We can't skip over [[spoiler:Alpha-universe Dave]], who has no trouble [[spoiler:assassinating a pair of juggalo presidents in one swing]].
251** Since the Lalondes are biologically related to the Striders, it's probably safe to count them all as one big immensely badass family. To say nothing of the Egberts [[spoiler:/ Crockers]] and the Harleys [[spoiler:/ Englishes]]...
252** In the Egbert [[spoiler:/ Crocker]] family we have Dad Egbert who repeatedly escaped from Dersite prisons and Dad Crocker who took over derse simply by being dapper.
253* The River family from ''Webcomic/IrregularElis''. A family of "{{Super Hero}}es" with Hanna-Barbera influence.
254* The Walkertons in ''Webcomic/ItsWalky'' boast Linda Walkerton, one of the first and arguably most successful alien hunters in that world (Though her claim that she singlehandedly killed all the Martians on Earth turned out to be an... exaggeration), as well as [[CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass David "Walky" Walkerton]] and his SeparatedAtBirth twin sister [[DarkActionGirl Sal Walters]], who are all but said to be the two most powerful Abductees in existence. Honorable mention goes to [[MightyGlacier Stephen "Beef" Walkerton]], who is not actually related to Walky but was raised as his brother (He was SwitchedAtBirth with Sal).
255* Kitty's family from [[http://kokoart.net/kokoart2/ Kokoart]]. Her father is a big guy with big muscles and lots of scars. Yet, he gets beaten by his wife with a [[MegatonPunch single punch]] ([[http://kokoart.net/kokoart/index.php?comic=101 here]]). Then, later in the comic, it's revealed that the whole family can ''bend iron bars in their hands'' and Kitty learns [[WaifFu martial arts]] as her mother advised her, because people don't lose body pieces while she ''defends herself'' and it's ''easier to clean'' after the fight.
256* ''Webcomic/LatchkeyKingdom'' has a couple:
257** The Dragonfly Family features protagonist Willa, who regularly raids dungeons five times her level or higher, and her grandfather "Old Man" Dragonfly, who is one of the Kingdom of Hilla's greatest heroes and has saved it dozens of times.
258** There's also Joselyn D'arc and her daughter Jane, both accomplished henchwomen to the snake cult. Joselyn is one of the more involved parents in the series, in fact.
259* The Bloodrage tribe in ''Webcomic/LookingForGroup'' lives up to their name. The chief and his sons are particularly fearsome; DO NOT ask them to surrender. Even the adopted unknown race granddaughter/niece/daughter is a Badass.
260* The Thundershield family in ''Webcomic/TheOrderOfTheStick'' is very, ''very'' large, and full of badassery. They provide some invaluable support in several battles while the Order is trying to stop Hel's clergy, complete with friendly bickering like it's a family outing.
261* The Andreyasn from ''Webcomic/SchlockMercenary'' are an interesting case. We've only seen [[BadassBookworm Kevyn]] and Breya, but they can both fight ("[[IHaveBrothers I have four brothers]]", "I'm one of her brothers"), and their mother doled out some interesting childhood advice.
262-->'''Kevyn:''' Well, you know what mom always said...\
263'''Breya:''' If you swing first, swing hard, and connect.
264* King Jahad's family from ''Webcomic/TowerOfGod''. Technically it consists of a group of adopted female warriors, the Princesses of Jahad, who received a part of his power through his [[ThePowerOfBlood blood]]. This makes them so strong that they are forbidden to have any relationships, lest they spread that power uncontrolled.
265* The family from Part Time dragons, being a family of actual dragons, [[https://parttimedragons.com/comics/comics/how-to-actually-survive-lunch-at-the-monster-home-2-3-dragon-comic/ is pretty badass]]
266[[/folder]]
267
268[[folder:Web Original]]
269* Almost all members of the Dage family in ''WebOriginal/BloodAndTheStars'' are Star Twisters, [[spoiler: excluding Thea Dage, although to compensate, she is smart enough to work alongside Rassie Shins and Orelius Zhang]].
270* The Cthoniques in ''Literature/CastleTerribel'', are a rather goofy version of this. Four [[EvilOverlord Dark Lords]], one of whom is undead, and all of them seem more enthusiastic about their hobbies and home life than causing trouble.
271* The Harper Family in Roleplay/DCNation. Let's see...BadassNormal Roy Harper and ActionMom Troia. Then, there's Lian, who's twelve and becoming LittleMissBadass. Aiden is too young to manifest anything at this point, but that's probably going to change. Then you factor in the ''extended'' family of Arrows, Amazons, and Titans, some of the most fanatically family-oriented groups in Nationverse...
272* In ''Roleplay/TheGamersAlliance'', Clan d'Zarnagon, House Aurelac and House Ardyn definitely count. Their members have proven their mettle many times in fields of battle as well as in political scheming.
273* [[VideoGame/HalfLife The Freemans]] in ''Fanfic/HalfLifeFullLifeConsequences''. We have [[BadassBookworm Gordon Freeman]], who's already badass, his brother John Freeman, who when he [[PreAsskickingOneLiner "has to kill fast and bullets too slow"]], starts killing Combines with his "[[RougeAnglesOfSatin bear]] hands", and [[spoiler:shrugs off being hit by a ''rocket'']], [[spoiler:his son]] Henry Freeman, who gives the humens "[[RougeAnglesOfSatin hop]]", and rallies an army against the Combines. The only exception in the family might be Mom/[[spoiler:Wife]], who gets [[spoiler:[[SacrificialLamb "shot in head"]]]], setting off [[TheCallKnowsWhereYouLive the events of]] ''Hero Beggining''.
274** Then again, she ''does'' deliver a message to her son ''[[{{Determinator}} after having her head blown off]].''
275* The [[Literature/TheJournalEntries Shardiks]]. Start something with them, and you may find an interstellar war coming at you. Start an interstellar war with their friends, and you may find your species extinct.
276%%* Several agents of the WebOriginal/ProtectorsOfThePlotContinuum have formed family groups, and all of them fall under this heading by default.
277%%* Despite the fact that there's only one left, the Church family of ''WebAnimation/RedVsBlue''.
278%%* The entire Von Shrakenberg clan in ''TabletopGame/TechInfantry''.
279* In ''[[Literature/{{Touch 2017}} Touch]]'', we have the Toranagas, a family of the strongest mages in the eastern United States, including Peter, a doting father who also happens to work as a director for TheMenInBlack, Hideyoshi and Tsuru, a pair of immortal, monster hunting grandparents, and James, a twelve year old boy with levitation and mass-scale aerokinesis. His younger sister, Bex, is implied to be just as powerful.
280** The only exception to the badassery is the mom, Sarah, who, while she might not be a powerful mage, still manages to pull off some moments of awesomeness herself.
281* The Wilson family of the Literature/WhateleyUniverse. Daughter Billie is Tennyo, one of the most powerful mutants on earth. As a teenager. Parents? Oh, they happen to be Flashlight (laser powers) and Weasel (strength, agility, second-storyman too), superheroes who secretly work for the CIA. Older brother and younger brother? Still teenagers and ''already'' working for the CIA too, since they have superpowers as well.
282 [[/folder]]
283
284[[folder:Western Animation]]
285* ''WesternAnimation/AdventuresOfTheGalaxyRangers'':
286** The Foxx family. Patriarch Zachary is TeamDad to his BadassCrew of Series 5 Rangers, but his kids have had a couple [[ADayIntheLimelight days in the limelight]] proving they can do pretty well at taking care of themselves. Even ''Eliza,'' who spends most of the series trapped in a SoulJar, has a SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome beforehand -- fighting off an armed {{Space Pirate|s}} and committing a HeroicSacrifice so her kids could escape!
287** Zozo's family also counts. From Zozo, the {{Ambadassador}}, to his loudmouthed PintsizedPowerhouse brother, and his nieces and nephews who can be pretty clever when they want to be.
288%%* ''WesternAnimation/AmericanDragonJakeLong'': The Longs.
289* ''WesternAnimation/{{Amphibia}}'' has the Plantars, each of whom display impressive skills throughout the series. [[TheHero Anne]] is shown to be quite athletic, and shows quite a lot of skill with a [[HeroesPreferSwords sword]]; [[{{Deuteragonist}} Sprig]] is very fast and can use a slingshot with ease; [[LittleMissBadass Polly]], despite only being a [[ALizardNamedLiz pollywog]], can handle herself and is quite capable with weapons; and [[CoolOldGuy Hop Pop]] is surprisingly strong and can take on many opponents with just his bare hands. Even [[HorseOfADifferentColor Bessie]], the Plantars' pet snail, is shown to always be there to protect her family when they need it.
290* ''WesternAnimation/AtomicBetty'' and her family. Betty and her maternal grandparents are galactic guardians; her uncle from "Rodeo Robots" is a cowboy; and her parents, while almost never seen fighting, have shown Greenbeard's gang what they're made of. And they thought they were fighting against actors.
291* In ''WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender'', the Ursa/Ozai and Hakoda/Kya families. Which are related, spiritually, considering that Aang marries Katara. Aang's the reincarnation of Roku, who is Zuko's maternal great-grandfather. We should also count Uncle Iroh as Zuko's ParentalSubstitute. Toph isn't technically related either, but she ''is'' part of [[TrueCompanions Team Avatar]].
292** However, in ''WesternAnimation/TheLegendOfKorra'', Toph's two daughters are met. Lin, the tough, gruff, no nonsense Chief of Republic City Police, and Suyin the level-headed leader of the Metal Clan in Zaofu. Both are incredibly accomplished Earth and metalbenders, taking on the Red Lotus and the Earth Empire right alongside the New Team Avatar, Lin also faced the Equalists and nearly destroyed two of their airships. Suyin also has three badass children: A daughter who gained [[BlowYouAway airbending]] and became a master, and twin metalbending boys who serve alongside their mother as her teammates.
293** Also Aang's and Katara's children and Tenzin with his kids, who eventually go on to revive the Air Nation.
294* The Royal Flush Gang from ''WesternAnimation/BatmanBeyond'': A family of burglars pulling heists based on playing-cards. .. their daughter's relationship with Terry [=McGuiness=] was strangely [[DatingCatwoman deja vu]].
295* ''WesternAnimation/{{Ben 10}}'': The Tennysons. Even Ben's {{muggle|s}} dad turns out to be a badass in the episode "Goodbye And Good Riddance".
296* The Bennets from ''WesternAnimation/BionicSix''. Patriarch Jack was already a top-notch secret agent, but when his family got caught in an accident and had to undergo EmergencyTransformation? Well, they took to their new abilities and joined dad in kicking butt.
297* ''WesternAnimation/CodeLyoko'': The Hopper/Schaeffer family is full of people brilliant in brains and brawn:
298** The mother and ''least'' impressive member of the family, Anthéa Hopper, was still a scientist good enough to work on Project Carthage. With the ''Code Lyoko Chronicles'' novels in mind, she also helped the Lyoko-warriors and XANA defeat [[BigBad Hannibal Mago]].
299** The father, Franz Hopper (born Waldo Schaeffer), not only worked on Project Carthage, but also successfully evaded the Men in Black with his daughter Aelita, created an entire virtual world known as Lyoko, created XANA, provided vital information and help to his daughter and her friends to ensure the rebellious XANA's defeat, and did it while stuck in the Digital Sea for most of the time.
300** The first child, Aelita Schaeffer, is, even prior to her graduation to ActionGirl status in Season 3, a TeenGenius and ActionSurvivor, as well as the 2nd most powerful Lyoko-warrior and 2nd smartest Lyoko-warrior, with only William and Jeremie surpassing her power and brains respectively.
301** The second "child", [[BigBad XANA]], an AI who gained sentience, is an insanely brilliant mastermind who pulled a two-season long XanatosGambit on the Lyoko-warriors, stalemated or defeated them at the end of every season barring the 4th one, nearly killed them a lot of times and even at the cost of its life, succeeded in killing Franz Hopper.
302* The Fentons from ''WesternAnimation/DannyPhantom'' (though Jack is one [[LetsGetDangerous only under pressure]]). Following the events of the GrandFinale, [[FanFic/FacingTheFutureSeries some stories]] like to take this trope up a notch.
303* Do the Mallards from ''WesternAnimation/DarkwingDuck'' count? Only [[BadassNormal two]] [[FutureBadass members]], but...
304** If we're talking about avians, the [[ComicBook/DisneyDucksComicUniverse McDuck dynasty]] is a badass ''dynasty'' with its own Ominous Latin BadassCreed: ''Fortuna Favet Fortibus"[[note]]Fortune favors the bold[[/note]]... Yes, it probably is a ShoutOut to the Duke of Wellington's Regiment, but hey
305** If the Mallard Clan wasn't one before [[ComicBook/DarkwingDuck the new comic series]], they sure are now. We have BadassNormal Darkwing, Girlfriend/[[LadyOfBlackMagic Sorceress]] Morgana, Daughter[=/=]LittleMissBadass Gosalyn [[spoiler: who is the new [[PoweredArmor GizmoDuck]]]], and best friend/BenevolentBoss Launchpad, [[spoiler: who has an army of [[strike: Crimebots]] Herobots at his beck and call]].
306* In ''WesternAnimation/DextersLaboratory'', Dexter's family counts, especially in the episode where they have to use Dexter's robots to destroy an [[SealedEvilInACan ancient evil]] Dexter accidentally released. Somewhat parodied/{{lampshade|Hanging}}d by the background music that plays. "Go, Dexter Family go!"
307* ''WesternAnimation/DuckTales2017'': The [=McDuck=]-Duck Clan is established as one. Great-Uncle Scrooge is the patriarchal trillionaire adventurer. His niece Della and his nephew Donald were his proteges and sidekicks in his adventuring days. Della's children, Huey, Dewey and Louie are a trio of BadassAdorable 10-year-olds.
308** To a lesser extent, the Beakley-Vanderquack family is this as well, with Bentina and her granddaughter [[ActionGirl Webby]], who was [[spoiler:later revealed to be Scrooge's daughter through experimentation]].
309** On the villains' side, there is the De Spell family, with Magica and her niece Lena.
310* ''WesternAnimation/ElTigre'': The Riveras. In this family, being a super hero/villain is literally in the genes. Nearly every Rivera male known has been one.
311* ''WesternAnimation/{{Gargoyles}}'':
312** The Wyvern Clan themselves consider their entire clan to be family, and they certainly live up to the trope. They're a clan of winged reptilian warriors who regularly tangle with gangsters, mercenaries, cyborgs, demons and Fae spirits.
313** As of Fox and Xanatos' marriage, the Xanatos-Renard family counts. It includes a former FemmeFatale mercenary, an immortal Fae Queen, and not one but ''two'' ridiculously wealthy corporate industrialists with legions of {{cyberpunk}} tech at their disposal -- including a personal hit-squad of winged cyborg warriors and a goddamn ''[[CoolAirship airship]]''. If you value your life, '''don't''' fuck with them.
314* In a two-part episode of ''WesternAnimation/GIJoeARealAmericanHero'', Cobra ''really'' sank to a new low, kidnapping the parents and/or siblings or several prominent Joes and using MindControl to turn them against the heroes. But once the crisis was resolved and they were rescued, the Baroness tried to spite them by attacking Gung Ho's house. ''Very'' bad idea. By the time he and the other Joes even got there, his parents and siblings had trounced the bad guys. (And were laughing in the Baroness' face.)
315* ''WesternAnimation/GravityFalls'' has the Pines family, who have each displayed their own badass moments throughout the series. There's BadassBookworm Dipper who regularly takes on supernatural menaces and emerges the victor, with his [[BadassAdorable twin]] [[LittleMissBadass sister]] [[CuteBruiser Mabel]] right by his side. The twins' Great Uncle Stan was a boxer in his youth, and can still punch out a Pterodactyl, or [[OneManArmy a horde of zombies]], or three bald eagles (while hanging from an electric tower), or [[spoiler:[[DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu an interdimentional demon]]]] (not to mention scale a construction frame and climb a mountain bare-handed to rescue his great niece and nephew) in his sixties. Handyman Soos (who is more or less one of the family) has great [[TheBigGuy strength]] and [[{{Acrofatic}} surprising athleticism]]. And as of the second half of Season 2, we also have [[spoiler: Stan's long lost twin brother, [[BadassBookworm the Author of the Journals]] and a literal genius who not only creates devices that shouldn't theoretically be possible (like a perpetual motion machine), but managed to survive being trapped inside nightmare dimensions for ''thirty years'']].
316** The fact that the Pines are all [[spoiler:twins]] is keeping them together.
317%%* Creator/HannaBarbera has a few of these:
318%%** WesternAnimation/TheHerculoids.
319%%** WesternAnimation/SpaceGhost and his wards, Jan and Jayce.
320%%** WesternAnimation/JonnyQuest's family. Even more so in ''[[WesternAnimation/JonnyQuestTheRealAdventures The Real Adventures]]''.
321* The Chans in ''WesternAnimation/JackieChanAdventures''. There's an AdventurerArchaeologist version of Jackie Chan who fights dragons when not on digs; his niece, Jade, who can pull off [[StealthHiBye Stealth-hi-byes]] in outer space and [[FutureBadass grows up to be]] the leader of Section 13; and Uncle, a WitchDoctor whose magic gets more impressive with every season and ''also'' taught Jackie everything he knows about martial arts. There's also a criminal enforcer turned GentleGiant who isn't related to them but is still considered part of the family (and who has a mother you don't want to mess with). To top it off, they have equally badass ancestors dating as far back as the Old West.
322* ''WesternAnimation/KimPossible'':
323** The Possibles. Kim herself is [[ActionGirl a world-renowned heroine]] who fights supervillains on a weekly basis, [[NeverMessWithGranny her grandmother]] is a former Navy [=SEAL=] and master martial artist, and though the rest of the family including her uncle and cousin are more on the ScienceHero side they have shown to be more than capable to help Kim in various missions.
324** The Gos are [[SuperFamilyTeam a family of superhero siblings]] who for years have kept their home city of Go City safe. Even without Shego they were a fairly formidable, if uncoordinated fighting force, but with their more grounded sister by their side they take out a supervillainess who could hold her own against [[SuperpoweredEvilSide an alignment-swapped Ron]] in ''seconds''.
325** The Stoppables have Ron, who is [[TheChosenOne the Mystical Monkey Master]], and his adopted sister [[GooGooGodlike Hana]]. Even Ron's father, an actuary, [[CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass stepped up]] in one episode, using his superior knowledge of mathematics to defeat a math-themed supervillain trying to "[[DeadlyEuphemism subtract]]" his son.
326* An extended family example in the Pelekai ʻohana from the ''Franchise/LiloAndStitch'' franchise (primarily [[WesternAnimation/LiloAndStitch the 2002 original film]] and ''WesternAnimation/LiloAndStitchTheSeries''). You've got a BadassPacifist little girl who, [[ParentalAbandonment despite losing her parents]], managed to reform over 600 artificial alien lifeforms who were designed to be evil into using their abilities for good and seeing one another as family (Lilo Pelekai), her older sister who will [[MamaBear do anything to protect her]] (Nani Pelekai), the "EvilGenius" creator of the lifeforms who is a [[BadassBookworm biogeneticist and engineer]] with StoutStrength serving as their [[HonoraryUncle "uncle"]] (Jumba Jookiba), a NervousWreck serving as their [[HonoraryAunt "aunt"]] who nonetheless has actually helped with reforming the lifeforms and had some CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass moments ([[GenderBlenderName Wendy]] Pleakley), and finally the alien lifeforms themselves (the [[Characters/LiloAndStitchExperiments experiments]]), all of them with unique powers and abilities who see each other as "cousins" to one another, with their youngest being their [[GeniusBruiser strongest and smartest]] who managed to pull everyone together while serving as the little girl's pet "dog" and [[LikeBrotherAndSister brotherly]] [[PlatonicLifePartners best friend]] (Stitch).
327* ''WesternAnimation/MonsterLovingManiacs'':
328** The Van Altens. Grandfather Arthur is a veteran HunterOfMonsters, while his grandkids Edith, Ernest, and Bo are monster experts-in-training who use their skills and knowledge to rehabilitate monsters and help them live peacefully with humans (with Edith also being a FriendlyEnemy with Dracula, Ernest being TheSmartGuy, and Bo having telepathic powers that allow her to befriend any monster). Additionally, the grandkids' parents are wildlife conservationists who travel the world, and Arthur's ex-wife Tamsyn is an EvilSorceress. Oh, and there's also honorary Van Alten family members [[TheJeeves Randall]] and [[TeamPet Phil]], the former serving as MissionControl in Arthur's monster-hunting escapades and the latter being the supernatural ex-familiar of Tamsyn.
329** On a more spoilery note are the Van Altens' neighbors, the Andersons. What else do you can a single mom and her preteen daughter [[spoiler:who are magically linked to a pair of {{Mirror Monster}}s they can summon as guardians?]]
330* ''WesternAnimation/MyLifeAsATeenageRobot''. The Wakemans. Nora Wakeman is a MadScientist and a decorated Skyway Patrol veteran. Jenny/XJ-9 is a ridiculously strong, state-of-the-art robot who was ''literally'' designed to be Earth's protector. Jenny's robot sisters, XJ-1 through 8, are single-function prototypes, but they kick ''major'' ass when they [[CombiningMecha join forces]]. [[GranolaGirl Aunt Wisteria]] can [[GreenThumb create almost anything out of plants]] (including ''sentient life''), and [[PlantPerson Cousin Glenn]] is a BoisterousBruiser. And since [[HumongousMecha Armageddroid]] was the first sentient robot created by Dr. Wakeman, you could arguably include him in the family roster as well.
331* ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'':
332** The Apple family is fairly close to this. Applejack is the incarnation of the Element of Honesty, Big Macintosh is capable of pulling a house off of its foundations (while ''bouncing''), Apple Bloom has performed dozens of death-defying stunts with her friends in their quest to earn their Cutie Marks, and Granny Smith was one of the founders of Ponyville who, in her youth, braved [[{{Planimal}} (literal) timber wolves]] in order to get the magically-charged apples that helped kick-start her family farm.
333** Not to mention that the rest of the mane 6 (each one of them a badass in their own way) are officially considered "honorary" family members.
334** Celestia and Luna, being sisters, also qualify.
335*** Their niece Cadence turns out be powerful as well. And since she married Twilight's brother, Twilight and her captain of the Royal Guard brother are now added to the list.
336*** Spike the Dragon, Twilight and Shining's adoptive brother, is well, a ''Dragon'', and an increasingly powerful one as he grows up. If we take his likeliest marriage prospect, that would be Rarity, the Element of Generosity and a deadly precision telekinetic and martial artist.
337* The Watterson Family ''WesternAnimation/TheAmazingWorldOfGumball'' become this in the later seasons, with more episodes involving them teaming up to deal with huge catastrophes together.
338* ''Franchise/ThePowerpuffGirls'':
339** The Utoniums themselves qualify: Supergenius dad, and three superhero daughters, and that's when Professor Utonium is just his normal self. This guy has the skill to create nearly any weapon he could imagine and has, on some occasions, donned a PoweredArmor suit of his own and helped out. He can get carried away, but still.
340** The Smith family from [[WesternAnimation/ThePowerpuffGirls1998 "Supper Villain" and "Just Desserts"]] become a villanous but parodied version of this trope. In the former episode, Harold Smith aspires to become a villain out of boredom with his everyday life, but ends up getting [[HarmlessVillain harmless results]]. By the latter episode, [[DisproportionateRetribution in anger out of their dinner in the previous episode getting ruined]], the rest of his family join him and they get more competent in their revenge for the Utoniums, but are ultimately defeated.
341* [[WesternAnimation/TheSecretSaturdays The Saturday family]]. The father is a GeniusBruiser with a power glove, the mother is a martial artist ActionMom with a FlamingSword, one of the 'kids' is a super strong ''Gorillacat'' and [[spoiler: the guardian of an ancient doomsday beast]], and the son is able to control cryptids, the most powerful animals on earth, [[spoiler: and is the reincarnation of the God of the Cryptids]]. Even the family pets are badass. And the SixthRanger of the team is mom's long-lost brother, a trained mercenary with all sorts of badass gear, including a jetpack.
342* ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons''. But only a couple at a time are allowed to be badass together.
343* ''WesternAnimation/StreetSharks''. Four brothers who are all now shark mutants, plus their dad, who is apparently a genius and is doing really helpful stuff on the sidelines (even if he's kind of [[DisappearedDad vanished]]).
344* A recurring theme in ''Franchise/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles'', starting in 2003, the Turtles and Splinter are a family, and they sometimes extend it with April, and Casey.
345* The Tracy family in ''Series/{{Thunderbirds}}'' certainly qualify -- flying the fastest planes and rockets in the world to save lives and fight villains (with help from a few extended family members).
346* The Venture Family from ''WesternAnimation/TheVentureBros'' -- Jonas Venture, Jonas Jr., and the possible mother of Rusty's children Myra Brandish are all certifiable badasses. Helper the family robot at least looks badass in its battle mode too.
347* WesternAnimation/TheXs are a family that is in incompetent in normal situations, but will always pull through in the end.
