History Main / BadassFamily

* ''Film/TheHost'': The Parks. True, for most of the movie they're shown as bumbling idiots... until they meet up with the giant mutant that killed their youngest member. Cue the slow-motion and the classical music as they take turns stabbing, burning, shooting, and impaling it...while standing unprotected in a cloud of toxic gasses.

* ''Cheating Death'' has [[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/13173434/5/Cheating-Death-Those-That-Lived Baron Overwhill]], [[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/13173434/8/Cheating-Death-Those-That-Lived Runa Peace]], and their son [[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/13173434/40/Cheating-Death-Those-That-Lived Rhyder Overwhill]]. How badass are they? Baron and Runa are the first and second Victors of District 2 respectively, with Baron being the first Career and Runa's win making District 2 the first District to have more than one winner. As for Rhyder, he won his Games at 14 (his parents won theirs at 18), and did so despite plenty of rigging designed to stack the odds against him.

** The Gaius family. Gaius Marius was himself a general of the Cimbric and Jugarthine Wars before becoming a consul and implementing his reforms; badassery seems to run in the family, especially when you consider that his nephew is ''the'' UsefulNotes/JuliusCaesar, and his grand-nephew UsefulNotes/Augustus would later become the first emperor of UsefulNotes/TheRomanEmpire.

* The Junii of Ancient Rome. You know your street rep is good when you have a reputation for ''murdering tyrants.''

* ''Fanfic/SonOfTheSannin'': Unlike in canon, Naruto grows up with a large adoptive family, and every one of them except his infant niece and nephew are powerful ninja in their own right (and considering the fact that both of said infants are [[BornWinner Uchiha]], the deck is heavily stacked in their favor).

* The Walkertons in ''Webcomic/ItsWalky'' boast Linda Walkerton, one of the first and arguably most successful alien hunters in that world (Though her claim that she singlehandedly killed all the Martians on Earth turned out to be an... exaggeration), as well as [[CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass David "Walky" Walkerton]] and his SeparatedAtBirth twin sister [[DarkActionGirl Sal Walters]], who are all-but-said to be the two most powerful Abductees in existence. Honorable mention goes to [[MightyGlacier Stephen "Beef" Walkerton]], who is not actually related to Walky but was raised as his brother (He was SwitchedAtBirth with Sal).

* An extended family example in the Pelekai ʻohana from the ''Franchise/LiloAndStitch'' franchise (primarily [[WesternAnimation/LiloAndStitch the 2002 original film]] and ''WesternAnimation/LiloAndStitchTheSeries''). You've got a BadassPacifist little girl who, [[ParentalAbandonment despite losing her parents]], managed to reform over 600 artificial alien lifeforms who were designed to be evil into using their abilities for good and seeing one another as family (Lilo Pelekai), her older sister who will [[MamaBear do anything to protect her]] (Nani Pelekai), the "EvilGenius" creator of said lifeforms who is a [[BadassBookworm biogeneticist and engineer]] with StoutStrength serving as their [[HonoraryUncle "uncle"]] (Jumba Jookiba), a NervousWreck serving as their [[HonoraryAunt "aunt"]] who nonetheless has actually helped with reforming the lifeforms and had some CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass moments ([[GenderBlenderName Wendy]] Pleakley), and finally the alien lifeforms themselves (the [[Characters/LiloAndStitchExperiments experiments]]), all of them with unique powers and abilities who see each other as "cousins" to one another, with their youngest being their [[GeniusBruiser strongest and smartest]] who managed to pull everyone together while serving as the little girl's pet "dog" and [[LikeBrotherAndSister brotherly]] [[PlatonicLifePartners best friend]] (Stitch).

* ''Cheating Death'' has [[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/13173434/5/Cheating-Death-Those-That-Lived Baron Overwhill], [[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/13173434/8/Cheating-Death-Those-That-Lived Runa Peace]], and their son [[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/13173434/40/Cheating-Death-Those-That-Lived Rhyder Overwhill]]. How badass are they? Baron and Runa are the first and second Victors of District 2 respectively, with Baron being the first Career and Runa's win making District 2 the first District to have more than one winner. As for Rhyder, he won his Games at 14 (his parents won theirs at 18), and did so despite plenty of rigging designed to stack the odds against him.

* In the ''Literature/{{Discworld}}'' of Creator/AAPessimal, there is the Smith-Rhodes clan. Descendants of an imperial adventurer from the Sto Plains who carved out a new colony in [[DarkestAfrica Howondaland]] -- which with superb self-effacing modesty, he named [[UsefulNotes/{{Zimbabwe}} Smith-Rhodesia]] after himself, one side of the family remained Morporkian-speaking and carved out its own empire in gold and diamonds.Which they are determined to keep, by any means necessary. The other branch, currently ruled (or so he thinks) by its patriarch Andreas "[[NamesToRunAwayFrom Barbarossa]]" Smith-Rhodes, became farmers and landowners in the Vondalaans-speaking Boer half of the nation. His daughters Johanna and Mariella are trained Assassins. Two grand-daughters, one adoptive, are also Assassins. Any member of the family is guaranteed to give you a hard fight if you try to spoil their day. Johanna's daughters are respectively a witch, [[{{Tykebomb}} a trainee Assassin]], and a youngest who combines aspects of both in a deceptively mild package. The sons of both family lines can be almost as lethal, too.

Awesomeness seems to be either [[LamarckWasRight inherited]], [[TrainingFromHell instilled at an early age]], or both. There is at least one WallOfWeapons somewhere in the household. Nearly every member of the family could kick ungodly amounts of ass. They may be {{Super Hero}}es or {{Badass Normal}}s in a SuperFamilyTeam. Even the cute little 5-year-old child could do things that would net most professional soldiers [[SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome a Medal Of Honor or similar medal]]--and they do this kind of stuff ''daily''. But the real magic of this family? Their indestructibility as a team. As strong as any member may be individually, when fighting together, their strengths balance their weaknesses and they support each other to the bitter end--[[CasualDangerDialog and meanwhile will remind each other to pick up the groceries]].

Needless to say, take on this family, or threaten one of its members, at your own peril--and don't be surprised when you lose badly to them.

Any kids they might have will be in distinct age groups--only [[GooGooGodlike one baby,]] or [[AnnoyingYoungerSibling one "kid"]], or one [[EmoTeen teenager]], unless there's a twin, in which case [[WonderTwinPowers watch out]]. Harming the children of a Badass Family is generally a ''very'' [[PapaWolf bad]] [[MamaBear idea]].

* ''Fanfic/HellsisterTrilogy'' has the [[FlyingBrick Kryptonian]] [[ComicBook/{{Supergirl}} main character]], her -as of the third story arc- likewise Kryptonian husband, [[ComicBook/PowerGirl her counterpart]], [[Franchise/{{Superman}} her cousin]], her cousin's descendant, and [[Franchise/{{Batman}} their]] [[ComicBook/{{Shazam}} whole]] [[ComicBook/LegionOfSuperHeroes extended]] [[Franchise/JusticeLeagueOfAmerica family]]... comprising the world's greatest heroes.

* ''WesternAnimation/DespicableMe2'': By the end of the movie, [[spoiler: the Gru Family which includes- Gru himself, the girls, Dr. Nefario, the minions, Marlena Gru, and Lucy Wilde after she marries Gru count. In fact, they rank right there with the Incredibles; and the Grus don't even have superpowers]]! ''WesternAnimation/DespicableMe3'' adds Gru's father, Robert, and twin brother (Dru).
* ''WesternAnimation/TheCroods'' are a family of cavemen who are, from baby Sandy to elderly Gran, capable of defending themselves from and outwitting or outfighting nearly everything they come across.
%%* [[WesternAnimation/MeetTheRobinsons The Robinsons]].
* Generations upon generations of Sanchez bullfighters (and would-be musicians) right on down to Carlos, Carmen, Manolo [[spoiler: and Maria]] in ''WesternAnimation/TheBookOfLife''.

* ''Film/TheHost'': The Parks. True, for most of the movie they're shown as bumbling idiots...until they meet up with the giant mutant that killed their youngest member. Cue the slow-motion and the classical music as they take turns stabbing, burning, shooting, and impaling it...while standing unprotected in a cloud of toxic gasses.
* ''Film/HouseOfFury'' is ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin. The father is a retired martial artist and ex-secret agent, and when enemies from his past catches up on him, his children - both whom have inherited their dad's ass-kicking skills - embarks on a daring rescue mission to save him.
%%* ''Film/TheGodfather'': The Corleones. Except for [[ButtMonkey Fredo.]]
%%* The Cortez family from ''Film/SpyKids''.
%%* The family in ''Film/TheMummyTrilogy''. Except for [[UpperClassTwit Jonathan]], but he ''does'' try.
%%* Likewise the ''Franchise/{{Zorro}}'' sequels, although they suck.
%%* The [=McClanes=] in ''Franchise/DieHard''.

** The Shaw family are a more traditional example. Magdalene, the matriarch, sits at the head of a vast, powerful criminal empire. Her three children are all members of British Special Forces branches - Owen in the SAS, Deckard in UKSF, and Hattie in SIS; Owen and Deckard have also gone rogue and embarked on successful careers in terrorism.
%%* ''Film/TheAddamsFamily''
* The Marshall family from ''Film/UpUpAndAway'', though some of them were old enough to be past their badass prime.
%%* ''Film/{{Tremors}}'': Gummer family in the first movie. Sequels have Burt being badass by himself.
%%* ''Film/KickAss'': Hit-Girl and Big Daddy.
* ''Franchise/StarWars'' has the Skywalker family and the Solo family, who are united by marriage. We've got ''two'' badass {{Action Mom}}s--a Princess and a Queen--''two'' badass Jedi warriors, one smuggler pilot-turned Rebel hero, and [[spoiler:''two'' feared Dark Jedi, once we meet Han's son Kylo Ren]].
** The Tarkin family provides a very dark example, as family tradition requires that the kids are brought in the wilderness every dry season to learn survival and be toughened up, making them formidable enough that Wilhuff (the most famous member of the family) can brag to be one of the few people to have beaten ''Darth Vader'' (Vader having asked Tarkin to lead a crew and hunt him down-and Tarkin eventually tricking him into being hit by lightning)... But also worsening the sociopathic tendencies caused by the rest of their traditions.
* The Shafts. Given that in a mid 90's movie adaptation the titular Film/{{Shaft}} is the nephew of the original ''and'' played by Creator/SamuelLJackson, being badass is a given.
* The [=McManuses=] of ''Film/TheBoondockSaints'', include a pair of brothers who kill dozens of mobsters after finding their calling as vigilantes, and their father, an infamous killer, fresh out of serving a twenty five years sentence, that joins his sons by the end of the first movie.

* Then there are the Mc Candles in ''Film/BigJake''. Led by [[Creator/JohnWayne guess who?]]
* The Racers in ''Film/SpeedRacer'' and extended family all apparently know how to deal out some awesome whoopass. Except [[ButtMonkey Sparky]]. Who still tries and manages to help out in his own way.
* The Earp brothers in ''Film/{{Tombstone}}''. Wyatt is already a legendary former lawman by the start of the film and Virgil and Morgan are quick to volunteer as new marshals after the previous one is murdered and the town is falling into lawlessness.

%%* The Stronghold family from ''Film/{{Sky High|2005}}''.
%%* ''Film/{{Hanna}}''
* Many [[HumongousMecha Jaeger]] pilot teams in ''Film/PacificRim'' are this. Raleigh and Yancy Becket are brothers. Cheung, Jin, and Hu Wei are [[SameSexTriplets identical triplets]]. Hercules and Chuck Hansen are father and son. Aleksis and Sasha Kaidonovsky are married. Some other (deceased or retired) Jaeger teams were [[AlwaysIdenticalTwins identical twins]] (Romeo Blue), male-female cousins (Chrome Brutus), and married couples (Tacit Ronin, Brawler Yukon).
* Byron Williams and his two sons did their own separate but heroic acts in ''Film/MarsAttacks''

* [[Myth/ClassicalMythology Greek Gods]] - all of them badass, almost all related in one way or another. All children of Zeus were badasses, including several demigod heroes like Heracles, Perseus or brothers Castor and Polidekus. There's also Typhon's family - dad is EldritchAbomination that make gods flee from Olympus, mom, Echnida, is a giant multiple-headed snake and their children are several well-known monsters, including Cerberus, Hydra and Chimera. Incidentally, Typhon is related to the Greek Gods by way of their grandmother, Typhon's mother, Gaea.

* The Rivendorn family from the ''Podcast/CriticalHit'', with both parents being spellcasters of TheArchmage level of power, just as the generations before them are alleged to be. This is the reason why Rivendown name [[AsskickingEqualsAuthority carries some weight]], and it sets young [[AnAdventurerIsYou Orem]] a tough act to follow. He manages.

* The Oberlindes Family in ''TabletopGame/{{Traveller}}''. They are a dynasty of frontier Merchant Princes who rose from being a band of [[IntrepidMerchant Free Traders]] to almost MegaCorp status. In the process they had more than one SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome. The most notable was when they bought a war surplus ship, fitted it out with weapons by [[TheScrounger convoluted and extralegal means]] and sent it to trade through Vargr space scareing off every [[SpacePirates corsair]] with their firepower.

* In the ''TabletopGame/BattleTech'' games's FutureHistory, a half-dozen families and their descendants were so epically badass in both giant mecha fighting and dominating people through sheer testicular fortitude that each family spawned an ''entire interstellar civilization''.
* The "Action Family" ensemble from the TabletopGame/FengShui supplement ''Friends Of The Dragon'' is essentially this -- a PlayerCharacter ensemble that kicks ass as a family.
* The Ortegas of ''TabletopGame/{{Malifaux}}'' are a family of monster-hunting gunslingers. They are tremendously successful in a job whose life expectancy is normally measured in days.

* In the ''[[TabletopGames/CerberusEngineGames Cartoon Network Crisis Crossover Deck-Building Game]]'', [[WesternAnimation/TheAmazingWorldOfGumball The Wattersons]] count as a Super Hero.

* The Ushiromiya Family of ''VisualNovel/UminekoWhenTheyCry'' also qualifies as a BigScrewedUpFamily, oddly enough. Grandfather Kinzo has no talent for magic, but through several years of research and determination, managed to become a master summoner. He may not be able to use magic to even heat water to brew tea, but can summon a demon able to boil ''an ocean''. Eva is very skilled at martial arts, and Eva-Beatrice may be a sadist who likes to kill people in gruesome ways, but is pretty badass herself. Rosa managed to put a fight with a ''army'' of goatmen with only a gun, a purse, a pen and a gold bar. Jessica and George are [[BadassNormal Normal Badasses]] able to channel SupernaturalMartialArts with sheer willpower. And there's Battler [[spoiler:aka, the Endless Sorcerer]].

* ''Webcomic/LatchkeyKingdom'' has a couple:
** The Dragonfly Family features protagonist Willa, who regularly raids dungeons five times her level or higher, and her grandfather "Old Man" Dragonfly, who is one of the Kingdom of Hilla's greatest heroes and has saved it dozens of times.
** There's also Joselyn D'arc and her daughter Jane, both accomplished henchwomen to the snake cult. Joselyn is one of the more involved parents in the series, in fact.
* Kitty's family from [[http://kokoart.net/kokoart2/ Kokoart]]. Her father is a big guy with big muscles and lots of scars. Yet, he gets beaten by his wife with a [[MegatonPunch single punch]] ([[http://kokoart.net/kokoart/index.php?comic=101 here]]). Then, later in the comic, it's revealed that the whole family can ''bend iron bars in their hands'' and Kitty learns [[WaifFu martial arts]] as her mother advised her, because people don't lose body pieces while she ''defends herself'' and it's ''easier to clean'' after the fight.

** Heterodynes are a family of powerful [[MadScientist Sparks]], who were feared and hated even among others of their own kind, to say nothing about the rest of the continent. They created Castle Heterodyne – an omnipotent sentient SupervillainLair with a dark sense of humor and Jägermonsters – scientifically modified {{Super Soldier}}s, chosen among those completely loyal to the house Heterodyne. Then Bill and Barry happened. They redeemed their family’s name by travelling across Europa and defeating monsters and evil Sparks, and were considered the greatest heroes of their generation. There is also Agatha – a powerful Spark in her own right.
** Klaus and Gilgamesh Wulfenbach. Klaus returned to Europa only with his infant son in tow and still managed to conquer a good chunk of the continent by himself, apparently for its own good. He is single-handedly keeping peace in his Empire by keeping rampaging madboys and arrogant nobles in check. He and Gilgamesh are both powerful Sparks and very potent fighters, to the point [[SuperSoldier Jägers]] are scared of them. If rumors are true [[spoiler: then there is also Baron's [[LongLostRelative long lost]] BadassNormal daughter - princess Zeetha]].
** Valois/Sturmvoraus/von Blitzengaard family. Their ancestor was one of the greatest kings of all time - Andronicus Valois, the Storm King. Currently family consists mainly of {{Manipulative Bastard}}s, backstabbers and {{McNinja}}s. Most prominent members are Tarvek - once again a powerful Spark, exellent shamer and a good fighter and Violetta - a Smoke Knight.
* King Jahad's family from ''Webcomic/TowerOfGod''. Technically it consists of a group of adopted female warriors, the Princesses of Jahad, who received a part of his power through his [[ThePowerOfBlood blood]]. This makes them so strong that they are forbidden to have any relationships, lest they spread that power uncontrolled.
* Webcomic/DominicDeegan's Deegan family. Mother Miranda, [[spoiler: retired]] head of the Quiral School of the Arcane Arts and as an arch-mage, a powerful wizard in her own right; father Donovan, a master swordsman, renowned duelist and bard trained by elves; Jacob, the first son, a powerful necromancer trained by one of the oldest known necromancers in the series history; main protagonist and second son Dominic, who is a master at second sight magic and has [[TheChessmaster a keen knack for planning numerous steps ahead]] (and also gets visions); and youngest son Greg, who is a perennially cheerful white mage and skilled musician in his own right. Also, there is Dominic's fiancée, Luna, who has a knack for illusion magic and [[SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome once humiliated an old enemy of the Deegan family in combat.]]

* In ''Webcomic/ElGoonishShive'', the Verres could count; Mr. Verres is a PapaWolf, his son Tedd is a MadScientist [[spoiler: who's been glowing lately so something's bound to happen]]. His cousin Nanase is a [[MagicalGirl Magical]] [[SupernaturalMartialArts Martial Artist]]. And the [[VoluntaryShapeshifting Shape Shifting]] [[HalfHumanHybrid Half-Squirrel Girl]] Grace lives with them and is Tedd's girlfriend. [[spoiler:And his [[MissingMom mother]] is apparently a legendary monster hunter. And his Aunt, Nanase's mother, is as involved in the weirdness as her brother-in-law is, but is better about hiding it from her children.]]
* The Cannon family in ''Webcomic/TheFancyAdventuresOfJackCannon''. The father takes down [[NotSoHarmlessVillain Hackers]] with his bare hands while wearing [[RealMenWearPink a pink Kiss The Cook apron]]. The mother throws knives with devastating accuracy, and may or may not be a ninja. And the son? Among other moments of extreme badassery, took down a Hacker combat expert WITH HIS OWN KNIFE, punched his way back up to the surface when a Hacker had buried him deep underground, and is perhaps the only person in the world who can "bro-pound" with Max Facepuncher without shattering his hand. That last part is especially badass when you read the 24 hour comic "So Now I Hate The Moon", and realize that Max Facepuncher can punch people into the sun, and once killed the moon with a double facepunch. So Now I Hate The Moon starts here: http://forums.pulpfaction.net/viewtopic.php?f=60&t=4033
* The [=McNinja=] family of ''[[Webcomic/TheAdventuresOfDrMcNinja The Adventures of Dr. McNinja]]'' is one of the most badass families out there. On top of being four of the deadliest ninjas in the world, one of them is also a doctor of EVERYTHING, one designs technology so advanced as to be indistinguishable from magic in his spare-time, the mom is a complete psycho, and the dad assumed the leadership role of all American ninjas by virtue of the authority in his mustache (he also sets himself on fire for fun sometimes). On top of that you've got the Doc's sidekick, the sharpshooting-acrobat raptor-riding-bandito mustachioed-12-year-old Gordito along with loyal receptionist Judy the GORILLA.

* The River family from ''Webcomic/IrregularElis''. A family of "{{Super Hero}}es" with Hanna-Barbera influence.

* [[http://www.ambarb.com/?p=16 Yoosoman and his sons]] in ''Webcomic/AmericanBarbarian''.
* A villainous (or possibly {{Anti Villain}}ous) example is the Kappel family from ''Webcomic/{{Collar 6}}'', with Michael Kappel and his wife Evita [[spoiler:aka Butterfly]] as insanely powerful doms, and their slaves possess their own superpowers. Sixx even refers to them as "[[http://collar6.com/archive/collar-6-250 A whole family of super powered assholes]]."
* ''Webcomic/{{Homestuck}}'' has all of the Strider family. [[MemeticMutation All of them.]]
** Bro Strider [[spoiler:(really Ectobiological-Paradox-Clone-[[StableTimeLoop Stable-Time-Loop]]-Father Strider - ItMakesSenseInContext)]] is a master of the ironic arts, can FlashStep fast enough to use stop motion animation as a fighting technique, and is the only character in the comic powerful enough to fight [[BigBad Jack Noir]] to a standstill in single combat.
** Dave is probably the strongest of the kids [[spoiler:pre-God Tier]] and kicks a ridiculous amount of ass while in the Medium, not to mention the antics he gets up to [[spoiler:as Davesprite]].
** Finally, we have Dirk Strider, [[spoiler:the [[AlternateUniverse Alpha Universe]] incarnation of Bro]] who is arguably the most Badass of all. [[spoiler:Born in a BadFuture, he had to ''raise himself'' from birth with nothing but a DemonicDummy for company. He dabbles in robotics - if by dabbling you mean creating fully sentient AIs and combat robots that can slay giant seadragon-lusii easily. (Dirk can beat these combatbots effortlessly, for comparison.) He maintains a [[HiveMind group consciousness]] by keeping his dream self awake permanently, and uses it to slay enemy agents in single hits and to stage rebellions ''just by showing up''.]]
** We can't skip over [[spoiler:Alpha-universe Dave]], who has no trouble [[spoiler:assassinating a pair of juggalo presidents in one swing]].
** Since the Lalondes are biologically related to the Striders, it's probably safe to count them all as one big immensely badass family. To say nothing of the Egberts [[spoiler:/ Crockers]] and the Harleys [[spoiler:/ Englishes]]...
** In the Egbert [[spoiler:/ Crocker]] family we have Dad Egbert who repeatedly escaped from Dersite prisons and Dad Crocker who took over derse simply by being dapper
* [[Webcomic/BobAndGeorge The Andersons]] ([[{{Fanon}} though that's not their real surname...]]) kind of count. We have [[CainAndAbel Bob and George]] themselves, who are both {{Physical God}}s with ElementalPowers (PlayingWithFire and ShockAndAwe respectively), [[EldritchAbomination M]][[YouCannotGraspTheTrueForm o]][[BigGood m]], and her father, who according to WordOfGod, is [[spoiler:{{Satan}}]].
** The Light-bots count, too. There's no important androids created by Dr. Light who aren't badass. However, if you count the {{alternat|eUniverse}}ives, [[TheDitz Alternate Proto Man]] and [[YamatoNadeshiko Roll-J]] kinda count. [[ObfuscatingStupidity We're not sure, though.]]

* In ''[[Literature/{{Touch 2017}} Touch]]'', we have the Toranagas, a family of the strongest mages in the eastern United States, including Peter, a doting father who also happens to work as a director for TheMenInBlack, Hideyoshi and Tsuru, a pair of immortal, monster hunting grandparents, and James, a twelve year old boy with levitation and mass-scale aerokinesis. His younger sister, Bex, is implied to be just as powerful.
** The only exception to the badassery is the mom, Sarah, who, while she might not be a powerful mage, still manages to pull off some moments of awesomeness herself.

* Several agents of the WebOriginal/ProtectorsOfThePlotContinuum have formed family groups, and all of them fall under this heading by default.
* The Harper Family in Roleplay/DCNation. Let's see...BadassNormal Roy Harper and ActionMom Troia. Then, there's Lian, who's twelve and becoming LittleMissBadass. Aiden is too young to manifest anything at this point, but that's probably going to change. Then you factor in the ''extended'' family of Arrows, Amazons, and Titans, some of the most fanatically family-oriented groups in Nationverse...
* Despite the fact that there's only one left, the Church family of ''Machinima/RedVsBlue''.
* [[VideoGame/HalfLife The Freemans]] in ''Fanfic/HalfLifeFullLifeConsequences''. We have [[BadassBookworm Gordon Freeman]], who's already badass, his brother John Freeman, who when he [[PreAsskickingOneLiner "has to kill fast and bullets too slow"]], starts killing Combines with his "[[RougeAnglesOfSatin bear]] hands", and [[spoiler:shrugs off being hit by a ''rocket'']], [[spoiler:his son]] Henry Freeman, who gives the humens "[[RougeAnglesOfSatin hop]]", and rallies an army against the Combines. The only exception in the family might be Mom/[[spoiler:Wife]], who gets [[spoiler:[[SacrificialLamb "shot in head"]]]], setting off [[TheCallKnowsWhereYouLive the events of]] ''Hero Beggining''.
** Then again, she ''does'' deliver a message to her son ''[[{{Determinator}} after having her head blown off]].''
* The Cthoniques in ''Literature/CastleTerribel'', are a rather goofy version of this. Four [[EvilOverlord Dark Lords]], one of whom is undead, and all of them seem more enthusiastic about their hobbies and home life than causing trouble.
%% The protagonists in Literature/StrangeLittleBand are this in spades. You really don't want to make them angry. And being borderline {{Villain Protagonist}}s they mix it nicely with TheFamilyThatSlaysTogether.
* The [[Literature/TheJournalEntries Shardiks]]. Start something with them, and you may find an interstellar war coming at you. Start an interstellar war with their friends, and you may find your species extinct.

** The Foxx family. Patriarch Zachary is TeamDad to his BadassCrew of Series 5 Rangers, but his kids have had a couple [[ADayIntheLimelight days in the limelight]] proving they can do pretty well at taking care of themselves. Even ''Eliza,'' who spends most of the series trapped in a SoulJar, has a SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome beforehand - fighting off an armed {{Space Pirate|s}} and committing a HeroicSacrifice so her kids could escape!

** As of Fox and Xanatos' marriage, the Xanatos-Renard family counts. It includes a former FemmeFatale mercenary, an immortal Fae Queen, and not one but ''two'' ridiculously wealthy corporate industrialists with legions of {{cyberpunk}} tech at their disposal--including a personal hit-squad of winged cyborg warriors and a goddamn ''[[CoolAirship airship]]''. If you value your life, '''don't''' fuck with them.

* ''WesternAnimation/GravityFalls'' has the Pines family, who have each displayed their own badass moments throughout the series. There's BadassBookworm Dipper who regularly takes on supernatural menaces and emerges the victor, with his [[BadassAdorable twin]] [[LittleMissBadass sister]] [[CuteBruiser Mabel]] right by his side. The twins' Great Uncle Stan was a boxer in his youth, and can still punch out a Pterodactyl, or [[OneManArmy a horde of zombies]], or three bald eagles (while hanging from an electric tower), or [[spoiler:[[DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu an interdimentional demon]]]] (not to mention scale a construction frame and climb a mountain bare-handed to rescue his great niece and nephew) in his sixties. Handyman Soos (who is more or less one of the family) has great [[TheBigGuy strength]] and [[{{Acrofatic}} surprising athleticism]]. And as of the second half of Season Two, we also have [[spoiler: Stan's long lost twin brother, [[BadassBookworm the Author of the Journals]] and a literal genius who not only creates devices that shouldn't theoretically be possible (like a perpetual motion machine), but managed to survive being trapped inside nightmare dimensions for ''thirty years'']].

* The Tracy family in ''Series/{{Thunderbirds}}'' certainly qualify - flying the fastest planes and rockets in the world to save lives and fight villains (with help from a few extended family members).

* The [[BadassIsraeli Netanyahu brothers]] (Yonatan, UsefulNotes/{{Benjamin|Netanyahu}} and Iddo) were all members of Israel's elite Sayeret Matkal commando unit.

* In ''Fanfic/TheRivalPrefectsTrilogy: The New Prefect'', Albert comes from a family with a reputation for excellence and knows he has a lot to live up to.

* The protagonists in Literature/StrangeLittleBand are this in spades. You really don't want to make them angry. And being borderline {{Villain Protagonist}}s they mix it nicely with TheFamilyThatSlaysTogether.

* Byron Williams and his two sons did their own separate, but heroic acts in ''Film/MarsAttacks''

* The clan of [[AnimateInanimateObject fruit]] {{ninja}}s in ''WebAnimation/BananaNanaNinja''

** The Apple family is fairly close to this. Applejack is the incarnation of the Element of Honesty, Big Macintosh is capable of pulling a house off of it's foundations (while ''bouncing''), Applebloom has performed dozens of death-defying stunts with her friends in their quest to earn their Cutie Marks, and Granny Smith was one of the founders of Ponyville who, in her youth, braved [[{{Planimal}} (literal) timber wolves]] in order to get the magically-charged apples that helped kick-start her family farm.

* The Watterson Family ''WesternAnimation/TheAmazingWorldOfGumball'' become this in the later seasons, more episodes involve them teaming up to deal with huge catastrophes together.

%%** Parodied with the Smiths.

* The Norman De Hauteville family.

!!Examples with their own subpages:

** The trope is spoofed with the Mitchells' neighbors the Poseys. Not only are the Poseys [[TheAce perfect in every way the dysfunctional Mitchells aren't]], they've also apparently been training for dangerous situations and are easily able to make it to their car with some fancy acrobatic moves once the robot uprising begins, with Jim Posey even saying "Family first!" as he kicks a robot's head off. [[spoiler:However, they still end up getting captured offscreen.]]

[[folder: Music]]
