* In ''[[ComicBook/TheBatmanAdventures Batman: Gotham Adventures]]'' [[http://asylums.insanejournal.com/scans_daily/990722.html #26]], the parents of a baby who is being sought by all the world's criminal syndicates and intelligence agencies for his MacGuffin DNA ask Batman to protect him, and Batman ends up carrying the baby around all night while he foils robberies, rescues runaway buses, etc. At one point he gets a group of muggers to surrender simply by pointing out how unhappy he'll be if they insist on fighting and the baby gets hurt.
* Similar to the ''Batman Beyond'' example, there's an arc in the ''ComicBook/UltimateSpiderMan'' comics where Spider-Man and Kitty Pryde are tasked with taking care of a robot baby for a human health class. The robot ends up worse for the wear.
* The whole point of the 2008 ''ComicBook/{{Cable}}'' [[http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/1/18/Cable-promo-image.jpg series]] is to protect the mutant messiah baby from Bishop, who thinks her existence will lead to a BadFuture.
* Nomad, who picks up the baby Bucky in the first story arc of his solo series and carries her around through most of the series run.

* ''ComicBook/SpiderMan'': Ever since [[Characters/MarvelComicsMilesMorales Miles Morales]] got a baby sister in ''ComicBook/MilesMoralesSpiderMan2018'', the first thing that he does with her sister is rescue a guy trapped in the sewer and fight off a sewer alligator with her webbed to his chest in an impromptu baby sling.



* In ''ComicBook/WonderWoman2011'' the New 52's much more violent and warlike version of ComicBook/WonderWoman ends up fighting PhysicalGods with baby Zeke strapped to her.

* The whole plot of ''Film/ShootEmUp'' is about TheGunslinger Smith trying to keep the baby whose mother's murder he witnessed out of the villains' hands. It was conceived as the ''Film/Hardboiled'' scene expanded out to movie length. But even the director could not accept the [[ImprobableInfantSurvival improbability of the baby surviving all the gunfights]], so Smith eventually hides him and his wet nurse inside a tank before continuing to shoot people.

* Spike does this briefly in the GrandFinale of ''Series/{{Angel}}''.
* Shows up in the finale of ''Series/BurnNotice''; if we may count Charlie Weston, who is about three years old, being carried by Jesse as he fights his way past the surviving gunmen after [[spoiler:Madeline Weston's HeroicSacrifice]].
* The ''Series/DoctorWho'' episode "Closing Time" features the baby Alfie (or '''Stormageddon, Dark Lord of All''') quite prominently, even as the characters fight off Cybermen and Cybermats. And even though the Doctor's most certainly a badass, that doesn't stop him from being delightfully awkward and sweet with the kid.
* ''Series/HerculesTheLegendaryJourneys'':
** Happens during a fight; at one point, Herc throws the baby up into the air so he can use both hands at once, then catches the baby after he's done.
** ''Series/XenaWarriorPrincess'' also does this. During one episode, she has to protect a baby prophesied to take the throne of a kingdom from the king's corrupt agents who want to kill him. And yes, she does the same thing as Herc during one point of the episode.
* ''Series/IntoTheBadlands'' has lead character Sunny have a few fights while he is carrying his baby son Henry, to establish Sunny's ActionDad status. However, the show more commonly deliberately averted the trope with Sunny entrusting Henry to others to care for when he had to fight.



* In the pilot episode of ''Series/OnceUponATime'', PrinceCharming is forced to fight his way through an army of mooks all while he's holding and protecting his newborn daughter, Emma. It is as badass as it sounds.
* One episode of ''Series/PowerRangersRPM'' has one of the Rangers holding a baby carriage in the middle of the fight. He ends up using it as a weapon while the baby is still inside (he ''doesn't'' know the baby is there before this.)
