Sapphire: [as Ruby violently shakes table] This will pass. She'll eventually just... Burn herself out.
Ruby: THAT'S WHAT YOU THINK! I AM AN ETERNAL FLAME, BABY! [slams fists on table edge, launching it across room]
Ruby: THAT'S WHAT YOU THINK! I AM AN ETERNAL FLAME, BABY! [slams fists on table edge, launching it across room]
— Steven Universe "Keystone Motel"
- Adventure Time Finn lives to fight evil and rescue princesses, and his favorite way to snap out of a Heroic BSoD is with a burst of righteous passion.Finn: And I'm not gonna be cool... 'cause I'm pipin' hot!
- Arcane: Though he's a scientist, Jayce ends up being easily driven by his passion. Jayce's agreement with Heimerdinger to not bring up magic at his trial to get off with a warning goes out the window when the other council members question his research, causing him to fervently defend his work and tell them he was working with magic, landing him in hot water and getting him expelled. He's also the only councilor ready to take combative action against Zaun after Silco's villainy comes to light, and agrees to personally lead a raid on one of his Shimmer plants with Vi's help.
- Sterling Malory Archer is noted in universe for toughing out behaviors that should have killed him.
- Avatar: The Last Airbender:
- The original series:
- Prince Zuko is mercurial and passionate. Plus, there's the fact that he can set things on fire.
- Toph. There's a reason that the Ember Island Players decided to portray her has a hulking adult man.
- The Legend of Korra: Korra herself fits this to an extreme degree, as she is quick to rely on force against everything. Unlike Aang, who was a natural diplomat who needed to learn to be a warrior, Korra is a natural warrior who must learn to be a diplomat.
- The original series:
- Mad Stan on Batman Beyond. BLOWS IT ALL UP while screaming in way that'd make the King of Braves proud.
- Eddy, Sarah, and Kevin from Ed, Edd n Eddy are definitely this considering they're the three easiest characters to piss off.
- In Justice League, this is one of Wonder Woman's defining characteristics on the show. When she's enraged, she doesn't back down or repress her anger or contempt.
- Once he gets sufficiently annoyed by the Monster of the Week, Harold Cooplowski from Megas XLR definitely qualifies.Coop: "This guy sicked a giant worm-thingy on me, chased my pals around with zombie-robots and made me break a perfectly good Photonic Stabilizer! I'm putting you in a hurt-locker and slamming the door, junkman!"
- My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic:
- Rainbow Dash is perpetually hot-tempered and aggressive, often reined in by Applejack.
- Sunset Shimmer of the Equestria Girls sub-series is significantly quicker to anger than Rainbow Dash, and much more reckless, although she's very good at improvising in chaotic situations. She's also distinctly fire-themed.
- Ready Jet Go!: If Mitchell isn't being cold and distant, then he's a hot-tempered overachieving little kid. He has a Napoleon complex and takes being a detective very seriously.
- Muscle Man from Regular Show has his moments when pranking, making jokes or partying, but none moreso than when he flips out.
- Ruby from Steven Universe has EXTREMELY intense emotions. When she gets angry, she's consumed with burning (literally) rage.
- The Teen Titans (2003) incarnation of Robin.
- If he counts, then Cyborg definitely qualifies. He's a bit on the bi-polar side, but when he's "revved up," he makes Robin look like a Blue Oni by comparison. BOO-YAH!
- Although both characters have been known to slip into Tranquil Fury when channeling Batman/their robotic side during an especially intense or personal situation.
- Teen Titans Go! on the other hand takes their hot blood to dizzying heights for comedy.
- Starfire counts as well: being a Tamaranian, her powers are directly fueled by her emotions, and therefore she can't afford to restrain her emotions because it might weaken her. If she's happy, she's ecstatic, if she's sad, she's depressed, and if she's angry... well, if it's your fault you should probably run, hide and pray she doesn't find you. She is always open with her emotions, and her feeling so completely also has a drawback: if she's feeling something antithetical to an emotion she needs to fuel one of her powers, she may not be able to channel the proper emotion until her current emotional state is resolved.note She's at her most hotblooded in the Origins Episode "Go!", where she escapes imprisonment on a Citadel slaver ship and crash-lands on Earth and is extremely angry and aggressive until the other Titans calm her down enough to get an explanation out of her.
- The Tick, with his absurdly Hot-Blooded delivery:The Tick: I am mighty! I have a glow you cannot see! I have a heart as big as the moon! As warm as bathwater! We are superheroes, man, we don't have time to be charming! The boots of evil were made for walkin'! We're watching the big picture, friend. We know the score. We are a public service, not glamor boys. Not captains of industry! Not makers of things, keep your vulgar moneys! We are a justice sandwich; no toppings necessary! Living rooms of America, do you catch my drift?! Do... You... Dig?
- Palmer of Titan Maximum is this trope mixed with Jerk Jock.
- Quickstrike of Transformers: Beast Wars fame. The fact that he's the only Maximal to join the Predacons permanently, voluntarily and with great enthusiasm says something. Most who join the Predacons are either sneakily programmed to (Blackarachnea, Inferno), are tortured into obedience (Rampage), or end up defecting (Rattrap, Dinobot (who was a Predacon to start with anyway)). Quickstrike was simply turned on by murder, torture and genocide.
- Dinobot will not, and cannot lose. "What is a warrior without weapons?" "A warrior still!"
- Hot Rod from The Transformers: The Movie.
- Then there's Ginrai in Transformers: Super-God Masterforce, after he decides to accept the Call to Adventure. He even has an attack called "Chokon God Fire Guts!" And then Takara released this toy
◊. - Transformers: Prime Smokescreen who is always eager to get into the fight.
- Lulu the Panda from Word Party is more timid than most examples of this trope and is extremely Prone to Tears, but when it comes to noodles, she is passionate about it.
- X-Men: The Animated Series has Wolverine, whose snarling, dramatic delivery of even the silliest of lines makes it cheesy awesome at times.
