* Jody Stroud from ''BloodsuckingFiends'', a freshly turned vampire that enlists fresh-from-Indiana nighshift store manager to ease the adjustment to bloodsucking and enforced nocturnalism.

* An example of an Action Boyfriend: ''InuYasha''. Kagome freed him from being pinned to the tree by Kikyo's arrow shortly after getting dragged into the Feudal Era, and the rest is history.

* DC Comics also has Big Barda and Mr. Miracle, two New Gods from the planet Apokolips. While Mr. Miracle isn't a pushover (the man regularly escaped deathtraps designed by Darkseid), Barda used to run the Female Furies, an all-female Apokoliptan strike team. [[HotAmazon Oh, and she's canonically almost as strong as Superman]].

* Ludmilla Leonovna, in David Weber's ''TheApocalypseTroll'', fits this trope to an extent, though as with Leeloo (above), her male love interest was a bad-ass himself before they met -- a U.S. Navy captain who rose to that rank through the SEAL teams.

* {{Firefly}}: Zoe is an [[ActionGirlfriend action wife]] to Wash's extreme NonActionGuy.

* ''AvatarTheLastAirbender'', having more {{Action Girl}}s than we can sensibly list, runs rampant with this: having Katara, Suki and Mai. Ty Lee also counts in "[[BeachEpisode The Beach]]".

[[caption-width:335:TheyFightCrime [[BattleCouple together]]! Well, she actually does [[NonActionGuy most of the work]].]]

* As does Rukia from {{Bleach}}. When Rukia had been injured by the Hollow in the first episode, she gave her Soul Reaper powers to Ichigo so he could defend himself against it, and he has been fighting as a substitute Soul Reaper ever since.

A series centered around the premise of HotAmazon. It starts with an ordinary guy living an ordinary life. But then he [[BlitheSpirit meets a woman who changes his life forever]]. But unlike a typical {{magical girlfriend}}, the series is more about her [[ActionGirl kicking butt and taking names]] than causing [[HilarityEnsues hilarity to ensue]].[[TheIshmael The story might be told through the guy's eyes]], but as often as not it's [[HotAmazon her]] who's the real star. If they are both badasses, they would be a BattleCouple.

* Jody Stroud from ''Bloodsucking Fiends'', a freshly turned vampire that enlists fresh-from-Indiana nighshift store manager to ease the adjustment to bloodsucking and enforced nocturnalism.

Contrast: NoGuyWantsAnAmazon.

* MiraiNikki certainly has fun with this trope. Almost immediately after stumbling into [[spoiler: TheGame]], Yukkiteru encounters Yuno Gasai, a beautiful girl in his class who makes it her top priority to protect him from harm ([[ActionGirl and does pretty damn well, to boot]]). The catch? She's [[{{Yandere}} batshit]] [[StalkerWithACrush frickin']] ''[[AxCrazy insane]]'', and at even her most "sane" moments likes to break into his house or send him hundreds of emails over the course of an hour. [[{{Understatement}} Yukki's not exactly sure what to think of her]].

* Anyone who shacks up with WonderWoman is going to fall into this trope, save maybe for Superman or Batman. Steve Trevor, Wonder Woman's golden age whipping boy, was a WorldWarII U.S. intellegence officer, but couldn't exactly hold his own against Greek gods, sorceresses, or several hundred feet tall women.

* Oliva Soldana in ''{{Destiny's Hand}}''.

* Athlete, a student at the [[SuperheroSchool Hyperion Academy]], is dating fellow-student Ideal. She has all his powers and abilities, and then some.

* Anyone who shacks up with WonderWoman is going to fall into this trope, save maybe for Superman or Batman. Steve Trevor, Wonder Woman's golden age whipping boy, was a WorldWarII U.S. intellegence officer, and he still got emasculated by some broad in a fancy one-piece bathing suit.

* [[spoiler: Salem]] from "{{What Is This Black Magic You Call Science}}?", though he's pretty harsh to said girlfriend, especially in her [[TrainingfromHell daily training regimens]].

* The title character of ''[[{{Iczer}} Iczer-One]] is a {{Yuri}} version of this.
