• The whole genre of Crack Fics—provided the story actually works.

• Ichigo in The First Guardian certainly qualifies. He purposely grows his hair to look like a shonen hero, actually tries to attach speakers to his Shinigami outfit so he can have his theme song (which is "Number One" of course) playing when he fights, constantly talks to his just as crazy Zanpakuto and chooses to do things based on "coolness factor". On the other hand, his crazy way of thinking allows him to enhance his Zanpakuto in various ways (from gathering spirit particles to strengthen it a la Quincy style, shaking the particles already in there to, temporally, turn his blade into fire, and to shape shifting it into different forms) without even showing shikai yet. And, no, his Zanpakuto isn't Zangetsu. And that's only a small sample of the crazy awesome stuff he does.

• In Big Human on Campus: After School, Ranma defeats cancer. With a chainsaw.
• Mukrezar is a quirky character. One of his plans to conquer an underworld city involved bakeing the world's largest cake. His plans, some involveing suddenly-living-undead-food are similarly off-the-wall.
• In the Mega Crossover fic, Kingdom Crossovers, the 8th chapter gives us Shego and Deadpool in a Gunman, with Shego using her energy to power the machine.
• Colonel Hein proves himself this by tricking slavers into boarding his ship and then killing said slavers with an Automatic Crossbow while laughing maniacally.
• Every battle in Mighty Morphin Mecha Rangers is laced with some degree of this.
• The AU version of Garrus Vakarian in Renegade. He is described, in the authors own words, as "An unholy fusion of Jack Bauer and the Kool Aid Man." His favorite tactics include kneecaps, excessive force (including hijacking a Hover Tank to capture an unarmed, injured mercenary), and crashing cargo haulers through warehouses. Several, warehouses.
  "I've yet to encounter a potentially dangerous situation that can't be defused by smashing through a wall."
  • It gets to the point where, when telling the story of how he found Shepard, she eventually realizes that after a certain point, the story has degenerated into an infinite loop of him smashing through merc-occupied warehouses with a garbage truck and shooting them all. She asks him to skip ahead to the conclusion.
• Super Milestone Wars and it's sequel.
• Shadow Crystal Mage's Uzumaki Harry, from the Harry Potter/Naruto crossover of the same name qualifies. As the story summary states, "Uzumaki Harry is the adopted brother of Naruto and Sasuke, under the guardianship of Jiraiya. Anko is his sensei. He edits 'Icha Icha'. Can you picture how messed up this is going to be?"
• The Mass Effect/Exalted crossover Glorious Shotgun Princess starts out as this, then takes that concept and hits escape velocity with it.
• The Best Seven Years, where Calvin And Hobbes go to Hogwarts. Turning Percy's hair into spaghetti, flying across the ocean on an enchanted surfboard, and instructing the house-elves on how to make pizza a la Iron Chef are some of the least Crazy Awesome things that occur when you give Calvin magic powers.

• Everyone in HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH is absolutely deranged, but Harry himself stands out, killing astronauts with his Groinsaw, eating people's eyes, fighting surf ninjas and rewriting history. And that's not counting how many planets he kills the fuck out of.
• Harry from Oh God Not Again is this. Even the other characters admit it in-universe and it's considered odd when Harry isn't doing something bizarre and off the wall.
• Xerosis runs on this— surviving the apocalypse and being the star of a Peggy Sue fic has warped Harry's mind and with Voldemort as his partner and Luna as his sidekick they come up with the perfect "muggle solution" to move all wizards to the moon and leave the Earth to the Puny Earthlings.

• In Queen Of All Oni, Jade, just like her canon counterpart, IS this trope.
  • First off, when the Oni general of the first mask tries to double cross her she decides to EAT the mask and thus his essence, gaining control over his tribe, and it WORKS.
  • Then, in the 7th chapter (counting the interludes), she comes with an Indy Ploy that allows her to capture Tohru for Ikazuki, by attacking Uncle, KNOWING Tohru will protect his sensei.
  • Later, in Operation: Steel Lightning, she comes up with a Batman Gambit to infiltrate Section 13 and steal the masks back (and maybe the Talismans as well) that was a VERY close Near Villain Victory, only failing due to the OC Spanner in the Works known as Agent Wisker.
  • Hero, an Anthropomorphic Personification (one of many that reside in Jade's mind, and represent different aspects of her mind) also fits this trope, but with maybe a bit too much emphasis on the "crazy" part. In a later chapter, he rams his ship into the one that the Aspect of Jade's Super-Powered Evil Side took from him (it represents a part of her consciousness), KNOWING his ship is far to fragile to survive the impact JUST TO MAKE A DRAMATIC ENTRANCE!
  • In the chapter where Jade is being tortured by Lung, Left and Right not only MOW down an ARMY of Terracotta warriors but Left kills one of Lung's monsters WITH A CHAINSAW, and destroys a magic-proof door with DYNAMITE!

• Adelleh from this Looking for Group fic. A cookie-eating, goggle-wearing undead priestess whose head is permanently in the clouds. At one point she actually convinces the other characters to throw themselves off a cliff, thereby saving their lives from an angry ghost!

• Game Theory deconstructs this trope rather harshly. Nanoha's crazy, reckless plans tend to backfire horribly with serious consequences.
  Aleph: One of the things that Game Theory has as a major theme is that Reality Ensues, and that doing something crazy-awesome and insane... is crazy and insane, and doesn't have to work just because it's the hero doing it.

• In The Vinyl Scratch Tapes, DJ Pon-3 lives and breathes this trope.

• The Peggy Sue fic, Yet again, with a little extra help is fueled by this trope.

• The version of Rei Ayanami seen in Nobody Dies is best described as a cross between Haruhi Suzumiya, Elsa Bloodstone, and all three of the Warner siblings. In fact, the whole fic is made of concentrated Crazy Awesome. For example, matchmaking between Shinji and emo-Asuka:
  "Hook, line and sinker," Mana says, "Pretty Boy has fallen for the bait. Cancel plan B."
  On the overlooking rooftop, Rei sighs and closes the radio detonator.
  "I never get to do plan B."
  Behind her, holding the bazooka, Kensuke shrugs.
• Shinji And Warhammer40k. Too many examples to name, with mighty Shinji being only the most prominent.

• One of the general themes in "Of Love And Bunnies" is that being a Power Ranger turns you Crazy Awesome. Ten of these Rangers are the protagonists. These are people who can walk into a carnival and within two hours cause a fight to break out on the midway in which clowns hurl flaming pins at Adam Park. It's one of those stories.
  • Within the story itself, there's the trio of Zack, Rocky and Conner, who provide 90% of the mischief by doing things such as hook up with a trio of hot graffiti artists and helping Bulk and Skull clean wash orange paint off of a chimp.

• The Angry Marines, a homebrewed chapter of Warhammer40K SpaceMarines,◊ fought the Chaos God Nurgle to a near standstill, throwing everything they could at it. Then, when that was not enough, they threw what they couldn't: Their Battle Barge, The Litany Of Litany's Litany. That shut the demon up. Just long enough for them to hit it with a second battle barge, The Maximum Fuck. And the Angry Marines may or may not have been rocking out on it while it descended in flames upon the demon's head.
  • One time, The Angry Marines, not getting to the battle fast enough, tore their own landing vehicle apart, and rode its engines down to the planet, raining down like meteorites of pure rage.◊
    • And they have a Predator Titan, as demonstrated here.◊
    • There is a tank called a Whirlwind. For most Chapters, it is a long-range artillery piece that shoots missiles. For the Angry Marines, it is a long-range artillery piece that shoots their own soldiers because that gets them onto the battlefield faster.

• The Emprahsque
• Absolutely everything Mosegi does in Valour and Mayhem.
