!!''Rawhide Kid'' (2010) provides examples of:
* TheMagnificentSevenSamurai: The premise in a nutshell. When Wyatt and Morgan Earp are taken hostage by Cristo Pike and his pack of pistoleros, Rawhide has no choice but to put together a posse of the greatest western heroes in the Marvel Universe - to rescue the Earp brothers and bring Pike to justice. Enter: Kid Colt, Doc Holliday, Annie Oakley, Billy the Kid, Red Wolf and the most overrated gun in the West: the Two-Gun Kid!
* MistakenForGay: The openly gay Rawhide Kid figures his compatriot the Two-Gun Kid for gay based on his costume -- stuff like the kerchief, the mask, the print on the vest. When they talk about it, Two-Gun is mortified and says he has to rethink his look, but Rawhide encourages him to keep it the same, saying that being tough is about standing your ground, being true to yourself, and not caring about what other people think.
* OnlyAFleshWound: The climax comes when the Kid confronts BigBad Cresto Pike. Pike is holding two hostages in front of him: Wyatt Earp himself, and the Kid's own father. The Kid [[ShootTheHostage shoots them both]], hitting them ''just so'' they would drop, eliminating Cresto's advantage before killing him. The unlikelihood is {{lampshade|Hanging}}d, as the rest of the Kid's posse state in awe that no one else in the world could have pulled that off.
* ThePsychoRangers: When the BigBad learns that the Rawhide Kid and the Seven are coming for him, he recruits a team composed of villainous counterparts of the Seven.
* ShootTheHostage: The Rawhide Kid is face to face with BigBad Cresto Pike, who is holding two hostages in front of him: Wyatt Earp, and the Kid's father. Without hesitation, he shoots them down [[JustAFleshWound non-lethally]] before fatally shooting Cresto. He's a Western hero, he has ImprobableAimingSkills as a matter of course.
