9	* [[http://abstrusegoose.com/39 It's still true!]] -- abtrusegoose.com
10	* ''Webcomic/TheAwakened'': Sue [[http://www.mousekaroos.com/theawakened/whoneedssleeppage16.html killed a bear]].
11	* ''Webcomic/AxeCop'' and his team.
12	* [[Webcomic/{{Sonichu}} Christine Weston Chandler's]] elderly late-father, [[https://sonichu.com/cwcki/Bob_Chandler Robert]] (Considered the one [[OnlySaneByComparison remotely-sane]] and likable Chandler family member), is seen as this to some degree....even being given the moniker [[ItMakesSenseInContext "The Internet]] [[https://sonichu.com/cwcki/Bob_Walks_In Lumberjack"]].
13	* ''WebComic/ConsoleWaifu'' MoeAnthropomorphism of video game consoles turns the Platform/NintendoSwitch of all things into this. Switch is a CheerfulChild in contrast to the [[PlatformPlayStation4 Playstation]] and [[Platform/XboxOne Xbox]] who are teenage girls. But when Xbox teased Switch over her pigtails being fake, Switch took them off and hit Xbox with them. This reached its peak when Playstation and Xbox prepare to fight in their [[Platform/PlayStation5 9th generation]] [[Platform/XboxSeriesXAndS forms]] with [[Manga/JojosBizarreAdventure Stands]], Xbox having [[Franchise/{{Halo}} one]], Playstation [[VideoGame/GodOfWarPS4 has]] [[VideoGame/{{Bloodborne}} two]], Switch arrives saying they should all get along, she '''[[Franchise/TheLegendOfZelda has]] [[Franchise/{{Pokemon}} three]] [[Franchise/SuperMarioBros Stands]]'''. Since Stands take the form of console excluses, [[AlternativeCharacterInterpretation some fans speculate that Switch was]] [[WillfullyWeak still not showing off all her Stands]] given the number of other exclusives Nintendo has. Even when Xbox used [[AlmightyMom PC]]'s credit card to buy more exclusives to even the playing field with Playstation, this would still leave Switch with the most Stands of the consoles, not to mention Xbox's [[HoistByHisOwnPetard stealing PC's credit card got her beat up]].
14	** PC herself. She is depicted as the TeamMom of the consols, and the AlmightyMom who the consols are afraid of. On top of this she can also [[AllYourPowersCombined emulate the consol exclusive games]].
15	* ''Webcomic/{{Drowtales}}'' fans have turned Quain'tana into this. Creator/ChuckNorris fears [[http://www.drowtales.com/mainarchive//20090813c18p017.jpg Quain's abs.]]
16	* In ''Webcomic/ElGoonishShive'', starting with [[http://egscomics.com/?date=2010-09-24 the fight with the fire monster]], the author began ascribing this status to Justin.
17	** The Dragon Kicker.
18	* ''Webcomic/{{Erma}}'': Sam and Felicia, for being (usually) unfazed by scary, supernatural goings-on. Sam even more-so as he's able to charm ''an entire village of Youkai''.
19	* King Urtica in ''Webcomic/{{Exiern}}'' with a combination of Franchise/{{Batman}} like planning skills, [[Literature/{{Discworld}} Vetinari]] level people-reading skills, and Creator/ChuckNorris level fighting skill.
20	* ''[[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.
21	* In the universe of ''Webcomic/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.
22	** [[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 Webcomic/GirlGenius forums has taken the next logical step; Airman Higgs facts. According to said facts, he participated 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.
23	** Othar Tryggvassen, ''[[GentlemanAdventurer GENTLEMAN ADVENTURER]]''!
24	** Old Man Death is an in-universe memetic badass to the Jaegers. Which is saying something, because ...
25	** The Jaegers in general. Inhumanly strong and all-but-immortal. In particular, Dimo (the ''de facto'' leader of the group of three that are Agatha's early companions) and Maxim (who won his hat by ''outsmarting'' ... something Jaegers are not normally known for ... Old Man Death himself). And [[spoiler: the aforementioned Higgs, who is secretly a Jaeger, though only a few people in-universe know this]].
26	** The 2019 strips have been making it clear that if Albia (Queen of England) is not actually a [[PhysicalGod Physical Goddess]], she's not far off it.
27	* 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]].
28	* [[http://hyperboleandahalf.blogspot.com/2010/12/year-kenny-loggins-ruined-christmas.html This]] ''Webcomic/HyperboleAndAHalf'' entry treats Music/KennyLoggins as if he were Chuck Norris.
29	* ''Webcomic/IrregularWebcomic'' brings us Jane. Freakin'. '''[[PunctuatedForEmphasis Goodall]]'''.
30	** The ''Allosaurus''!
31	* ''Webcomic/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.
32	* ''I am [[Webcomic/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.)
33	* Doris, with one appearance as of this writing, has become this in the forums for ''Webcomic/{{Misfile}}''.
34	** Only heightened by an Angel of Heavenly Vengeance saying that Doris would [[http://www.misfile.com/?date=2009-05-19 create a greater punishment than he would]].
35	* 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.
36	** Speaking of which, Tavros also has a thread dedicated to parodying Chuck Norris facts by listing ways in which Tavros (aka adiosToreador) is badass... rapidly followed up by a disclaimer. For example:
37	-->adiosToreador eats nails for breakfast. Of course, Nails is a brand of breakfast cereal in his world, but that [[BlatantLies doesn't make it]] [[MundaneMadeAwesome any less awesome]].
38	** Dave Strider. Just, Dave.
39	** Also, Bro Strider, when he's not portrayed as a MemeticMolester or MemeticLoser.
40	** A more villainous example would be [[spoiler:sober Gamzee. He did more damage to the [[EldritchAbomination Black]] [[BigBad King]] in one hit than all the other trolls COMBINED, can use every single weapon with lethal efficiency, and got all the mooks to befriend him only after seeing how fucking horrifying he was when he wasn't on his sopor pies. It's also implied that he's killed EVERYONE in alternate timelines.]]
41	*** As [[http://ariyannaxshiku.deviantart.com/art/Random-Homestuck-Troll-Character-Facts-316952914 this fic]] explains it, ''"[[Music/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.)
42	** [=FedoraFreak=], one of John's Dad's internet contacts, has survived the craziness of Sburb despite not being a player. His only appearances have been via one-sided message logs and a brief chat-log with another minor character. His current whereabouts are unknown, but it's implied that [[spoiler: he has ascended to the God Tier.]]
43	** Within a day of his debut and with maybe three panels and no speaking roles to his name at that point, Jake English became one very quickly. That he's an alternate universe version of the aforementioned Grandpa probably helps.
44	* 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.]]
45	* ''Webcomic/{{Noblesse}}'': Cadis Etrama Di Raizel [[CurbStompBattle will teach you]] [[http://www.mangafox.com/manga/noblesse/v01/c076/7.html the difference between your and his eye-level.]]
46	* O-Chul from ''Webcomic/TheOrderOfTheStick'' 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...
47	** He was tied up when thrown in, broke the ropes while he was impaled on the spike, punched the teeth out of the shark, was carried out of the tank by ''shark bite'', and had enough hit points remaining to attack the evil mastermind.
48	** He also wrote up a list of Xykon and Redcloaks spells, plus a partial list of feats and magic items for each. How? "One saving throw at a time."
49	*** "O-Chul is Chuck Norris' character."
50	*** -- No, Chuck Norris is O-Chul's character in Real Life.
51	*** "O-Chul does not have a constitution score. Constitution has an O-Chul score."
52	*** 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 even befriended the Monster In the Darkness, nudging Xykon's strongest minion from evil by simply being a respectful friend.
53	** "That Guy With A Halberd", a nameless RedShirt type from the battle for Azure City who got his own fan thread in the forums as a social experiment and is rapidly growing to MemeticBadass status.
54	** V's mate Inkyrius can beat anyone just by using a pointy stick.
55	** Belkar: Sexy. Shoeless. God of ''War''.
56	** [[PregnantBadass Kazumi Kato: Who cares how many people she has to kill? She can just make more in her tummy]].
57	* From ''Webcomic/QuestionableContent'', we have Steve. He joined the U.S. Department ''of Kicking Your Ass''. And won.
58	* Via [[Webcomic/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!!!!!!!!!!]]
59	* ''Webcomic/SomethingPositive'' had [[http://somethingpositive.net/sp02132008.shtml this strip]] featuring Creator/AlanMoore that portrayed him as one of these.
60	* Kaff Tagon gets the InUniverse treatment in WebComic/SchlockMercenary; an Oafan approaches his father (Karl) to help clear an abandoned space station of dangerous wildlife. When asked why, the response is because Kaff is, famously, a "destroyer of battleplates." (It's a bit like [[Franchise/StarWars Wedge Antilles getting a reputation for surviving two Death Stars]].) Karl panics a bit, since he figures anyone wanting to try some payback might figure picking up friends and family to be an easier proposition than going after Kaff directly. (Karl himself has a reputation from a particular civil war: If you don't take him out in the initial salvo, '''your side automatically loses'''. He will agree, though, that making him an enemy is a bad idea.)
61	** A later storyline has some new squad members, during the 'hiring interview' state they want to work for Kaff Tagon due to an action he took during a mission 4 months before, and that an officer willing to support his men is worth fighting alongside. The action: using a ship-to-ship missile ''inside'' a ship to repel boarders, in a direct application of [[BigBookOfWar Maxim 20]] -- "If you're not willing to shell your own position, you're not willing to win."
62	* ''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.
63	* In ''Webcomic/StarMares'', Fettlock enjoys the same notoriety and cult status in-universe that his [[Characters/StarWarsBountyHuntersAndMercenaries counterpart]] does in reality, but even his most ardent fans are hard-pressed to give a good reason why.
64	* ''In Wily's Defense'' gives us Freeze Man, an awesome lunatic so badass that Satan lives in his head who goes by the name of ''BATMAN''. He's so badass that his response to falling off a hundred story building was "Hello ground! Nice to see you again!".
