* In ''Fanfic/MyHeroAcademiaUnchainedPredator'', this is the most common response when it comes to [[Videogame/Doom2016 the Doom Slayer]]. Whether it be the [[CapeBuster Steel Sabers]] or mere street thugs, he comes out on top.

* Very common in ''Manga/OnePiece'', especially during Enies Lobby. The Marine guards mock Luffy for attacking the "fortress of justice" while outnumbered 10,000 to 1, and he proceeds to go on an absolute rampage. The most notable instance is when [[spoiler:Luffy knocks out ''50,000 fishmen'' with a '''glare'''. A DeathGlare powered by {{awesomeness|IsAForce}}, but still-a ''glare''.]]

* ''WebAnimation/HelluvaBoss'': In "[[Recap/HelluvaBossS2E3ExesAndOohs Exes and Oohs]]", Moxxie's father [[TheDon Crimson]] grows increasingly frustrated that his henchmen cannot kill [[ViolentlyProtectiveGirlfriend a rampaging Millie]], who [[OneWomanArmy effortlessly tears through the lot of them in a matter of minutes]] right in front of him.
-->'''Crimson:''' What the ''FUCK?!'' She's just a dame! She's a broad! ''Kill her!'' You freaking goons! What the fuck is the matter with you?! Why do I pay ya?! Get her! You stupid idiots! ''GO GET HER!!!''

* ''Fanfic/AThingOfVikings'': PlayedWith. Hiccup might be just one man (with a dragon), but given his [[RememberWhenYouBlewUpASun past battle record]], Sigvatr deeply enjoys responding to an incredulous thrall wondering what Hiccup can do against all of Mildew's forces, as he's "just one man", with a comment about said battle record.
-->'''Jyette:''' But… but he's one man. What can he do against all of Mildew's forces?\\
'''Sigvatr:''' Ask your father about what one man could do against an entire fleet eight thousand men strong. You'll be seeing him and your home again soon, I promise.

* In Anime/CodeGeass, the Lancelot knightmare frame and its pilot Suzaku goes under this trope multiple times.
* In episode 13 of Anime/CrossAnge, Julio is heard yelling this as the Vilkiss tears through his fleet of ships, and right before cutting through the hull of the one he's in.

* You can pick this as a dialogue option early on in ''VideoGame/TheGodfather 2'' about the Cuban rebels. Predictably enough, shortly afterwards El Presidente announces his abdication.

* Repeatedly shouted in the ''[[VideoGame/FirstEncounterAssaultRecon FEAR]]'' games by assorted human villains as the Point Man and Michael Beckett tear through their troops. Norton Mapes comments on it in the first game while you're blasting through the ATC troops in the Vault ("Come on, he's just one guy! [[SurroundedByIdiots What good are you jackoffs?]]") and Colonel Vanek berates his men repeatedly while fighting through the labs under Wade Elementary, before finally admitting to Beckett's OneManArmy status. The Phase Commanders and other ATC officers in ''FEAR 3'' understand how dangerous the Point Man is, and instead of berating them for being overwhelmed, they just order their men to stay in position [[BadBoss under pain of dismemberment.]]

** An interesting example during the Baratie Arc; After "Hawk-Eye" Mihawk decimates Don Krieg's fleet, Krieg stubbornly insists that no ''ordinary'' man could wipe out fifty ships with just a sword, but reasons that Mihawk must have a Devil Fruit power that allowed him to do it. He's wrong.
