The One Man Army does far more than pull his own weight. In fiction, it is not only possible but routine for one man to go around and kill literally ''thousands'' of people or other creatures. [[ApatheticCitizens No one]] ''ever'' finds this particularly unusual, nor does anyone ever [[ThereAreNoTherapists wonder about their psychological state]], which would ''certainly'' be affected by [[ItGetsEasier taking so many lives]] away. The impact of this is lessened if the enemies are FacelessGoons or [[WhatMeasureIsANonHuman don't register as human beings]] who exist solely to provide a MookHorrorShow, but the unlikelihood of one person wiping out entire armies of epic proportions isn't.
Often {{Handwave}}d or [[JustifiedTrope justified]] by making the character a SuperSoldier against mundanes, but this falls apart when EliteMooks or SuperpoweredMooks of equal calibre show up and still get dismantled with ease. In a series aimed at younger audiences, they may simply defeat large masses of people rather than outright kill them. In playing this trope, it is useful to have TheEvilArmy try to ZergRush said character in TheWarSequence.
This trope caters to everyone's inner {{Munchkin}}; 99% of {{First Person Shooter}}s ever made fall under this. It isn't unusual for TheBigGuy, either.
Often goes hand-in-hand with ItsUpToYou. When the OneManArmy is intentionally sent out to take care of the problem by himself, its a case of OneRiotOneRanger. Villains tend to underestimate this person at first, considering him JustOneMan. Compare and contrast PersonOfMassDestruction, who's symbolically treated like a weapon by the setting, and OmnicidalManiac, who is all too willing to push him- or herself into this territory. In the latter case, the OmnicidalManiac often gains his/her/its kill-count through using [[WeaponOfMassDestruction WMDs]] on hapless civilians rather than personally fighting enemy combatants.
Of course, being a OneManArmy usually qualifies you as a {{Badass}} and CrewOfOne. However, [[DudeWheresMyRespect very few people will respect your ability]]. Or worse, seek to abuse it because "WeDoTheImpossible" is in effect. Contrast with the BadassArmy where each individual could be considered this but are part of said army, as well as the EasilyConqueredWorld where it's the severely, severely outnumbered enemies who are kicking ass and taking names. If one man ''makes'' the army, then you have TheMinionMaster. Likewise, if one man ''becomes'' the army, it's MesACrowd.

While RealLife examples do exist, this is generally not a good idea in RealLife: the reason military forces tend to work in groups or teams at the very smallest and why police officers tend to call for backup before approaching a dangerous situation is simply that one person is only capable of so much, and may be so focused on one part of what is happening that he or she will have FailedASpotCheck on another, possibly far more dangerous one.

As many combat veterans had pointed out, even the greatest battlefield champion can meet an utterly stupid death from a stray bullet, a booby trap, or even good old fashioned disease and blood poisoning from a small wound. For this reason, most of the warfare stunts to put JamesBond to shame had been pulled by men who were convinced [[TakingYouWithMe they were not going to survive]].
Also, in the case of modern combat theaters, it's more difficult to pull off if any army in the theater has airstrike capabilities, because no OneManArmy can stand up to [[DeathFromAbove a bunker-buster bomb.]] Or, if any force in the theater has ''[[TheDeadliestMushroom nuclear]]'' capabilities and [[OhCrap delivery capabilities]].

While RealLife examples do exist, this is generally not a good idea in RealLife: the reason military forces tend to work in groups or teams at the very smallest and why police officers tend to call for backup before approaching a dangerous situation is simply that one person is only capable of so much, and may be so focused on one part of what is happening that he or she will have FailedASpotCheck on another, possibly far more dangerous one.

* In the pilot of ''HoganVsFlair'', the card features the "KevinNash Burial Gauntlet Match". It's pretty much Nash just destroying one guy after another after another with his [[FinishingMove Jackknife Powerbomb]], parodying the way the RealLife Nash would always insist on winning on get his way most of the time.

The protagonist does far more than pull his own weight. In video games, it is not only possible but routine for one man to go around and kill literally ''thousands'' of people. [[ApatheticCitizens No one]] ''ever'' finds this particularly unusual, nor does anyone ever [[ThereAreNoTherapists wonder about their psychological state]], which would ''certainly'' be affected by [[ItGetsEasier taking so many lives]] away. The impact of this is lessened if the enemies are FacelessGoons or [[WhatMeasureIsANonHuman don't register as human beings]] who exist solely to provide a MookHorrorShow, but the unlikelihood of one person wiping out entire armies of epic proportions isn't.

* In {{Bionicle}}, Toa usually work in teams, but there are occasions where they manage to demolish small armies. One particular example that stands out is Kopaka defeating three dozen Zyglak offscreen. What makes this even more impressive is that Zyglak are almost immune to [[ElementalPowers Elemental Powers]] which Toa usually use as their primary attack.
