History OneManArmy / FanFic

[[AC:''WesternAnimation/TheBlackCauldron'']]
* The Horned King, the VillainProtagonist of ''Fanfic/HopeForTheHeartless'', is both a lich and a LightningBruiser. He proves his might by facing against the Mad Pack, a pack of about thirty AxCrazy {{savage wolves}} to [[VillainousRescue rescue Avalina]]. He endures all the mauling and [[PostVictoryCollapse collapses only after the last wolf is dead]].

[[AC:''Manga/{{Bleach}}'']]
* In ''FanFic/UninvitedGuests'', [[spoiler: Hitsugaya]], after having fit of insanity, charges into the entire forces of [[spoiler: Hueco Mundo]] and manages to traumatizes everyone, although he got caught and imprisoned. PlayedForLaughs, like everything happens in that fic.

[[AC:''VideoGame/CommandAndConquerTiberiumWars'']]
* Commandos on both sides in ''Fanfic/TiberiumWars'', due to a combination of training, technology, high explosives, and heavy armor (GDI) or cloaking (Nod). Unconventional tactical approaches also help; i.e. the Nod commando kills a Guardian APC crew and then sets the vehicle's remote gun turret to fire automatically to force some reinforcing troops into cover, where she kills them in seconds from a flanking position. The GDI commando, meanwhile, clears out an entire room of Nod soldiers by using an optical cable to locate them through an air vent connecting their room to the elevator shaft he's climbing down, calculating firing angles through said air vent, and then sniping the Nod troops from the elevator shaft with his rail carbine through the vent's thin metal walls.

[[AC:{{Crossover}}]]
* ''Fanfic/LastChildOfKrypton'': Shinji and Asuka, which is easily understandable and explainable, since in this crossover story he is ''Franchise/{{Superman}}'' and she is [[spoiler:''Franchise/WonderWoman'' (or ''Comicbook/{{Supergirl}}'' in the reboot).]] They do not even need a HumongousMecha to punch out enormous alien monsters.
* ''Fanfic/SOE2LoneHeirOfKrypton'': Asuka is a highly-trained HumongousMecha AcePilot... and ''Comicbook/{{Supergirl}}''. If she is riding her giant robot there is no conventional man-made weapon capable to hit her or stop her and she can trash whole armies easily without having even one scratch. If she is ''not'' riding her giant robot, she is the most powerful and most dangerous human being in the planet. Not even ''nukes'' would damage her.
* ''Fanfic/ThousandShinji'': As they defeat enemies, Shinji, Asuka and Rei use the energies of ''[[TabletopGame/Warhammer40000 the dimensional Warp]]'' to change themselves and evolve their bodies. At the half-point of the story they are powerful enough (Shinji is a sorcerer with elemental powers, Asuka is a berserker SuperSoldier, Rei is able to command plagues, and the three of them have psychich powers) to destroy the human race on their own. When Asuka fights the Seele invasion, she easily tears the invading force apart, and the MP-Evas are the only thing in the planet that can stop her. And even then she [[spoiler:destroys nine of them.]]
* ''Fanfic/ChildrenOfAnElderGod'': Shinji, Asuka, Rei and their teammates killed [[Franchise/CthulhuMythos the Outer Gods and Great Old Ones]] and stole their powers. Any of those kids was able to destroy whole armies, kill eldritch abominations and level cities.
* In ''Fanfic/AceCombatTheEquestrianWar'', a foreign pegasus ace, [[VideoGame/AceCombat04ShatteredSkies Mobius]] is a fighting force equal to an entire squadron and he's capable of fighting and often defeating multiple enemies alone.
* In ''Fanfic/ChildOfTheStorm'', all of the Avengers qualify, but the real stand out is one of their enemies: The Winter Soldier, a HeroKiller, SuperSoldier and master assassin who, among many, many other things, is said to have [[MageKiller mowed through two squadrons of Europe's finest Aurors in Warsaw in 1973]] and in chapter 60, took on Steve, Natasha and Clint at once and could quite easily have killed all three of them (though in fairness, he was able to ambush them). In chapter 70, he mows through the Ministry and a good couple of dozen wizards and Aurors, the SHIELD Helicarrier, including standing off Steve, Clint and Natasha, before going through the Secret Service like they're made of butter and taking Wolverine in a straight fight (though, granted, the latter involved judicious use of a rocket launcher). Sure, he ended up pretty battered after that, but the guy is a force of nature.
** By chapter 70, Harry is this trope. Unfortunately, there are other people out there who are better at it...
*** He steps up his game in chapter 75.
** Most of the X-Men, Daken, Zemo, Rhodey, Havok, Namor, Jean-Paul and Diana all qualify (though the latter two are teenagers who are getting there).
** Wanda Maximoff, (who's a PersonOfMassDestruction herself), name-drops this trope in regard to [[Literature/TheDresdenFiles Jared "The Hellhound" Kincaid]].
** Asgardians quite literally evolved to be this trope-you kind of have to be, in a WorldOfBadass.
* In ''FanFic/{{Fractured}}'', a ''Franchise/MassEffect''[=/=]''Franchise/StarWars''[=/=]''VideoGame/{{Borderlands}}'' [[MassiveMultiplayerCrossover crossover]] and its [[FanFic/{{Origins}} sequel]], this is all over the place.
** On a ship level, you have the Star Dreadnaught ''Revenant'' that can take on ''a hundred Reapers'' without batting an eye (though the [[LogicalWeakness consequence]] of such literal power is absolutely massive energy consumption). Compared to Citadel ships, any Trans-Galactic Republic ship from cruiser on up is a One-Ship Fleet. It's discussed how a wielder of such a ship could become an NGOSuperpower just from possession of that vessel. ''Ultimatum'' also qualifies in ''Origins'' being of the same class as ''Revenant''. Taken UpToEleven in that ''Ultimatum'' has a [[WaveMotionGun superlaser]].
** Given the source material, it's unsurprising that Samantha Shepard and her squad meet this qualification.
** Ditto Vault Hunters like Maya, Axton, Gaige, or Brick. That a BadassCrew consisting of an "army of one-person armies" can't beat back [[AlienInvasion the threat]] underscores how [[GodzillaThreshold dangerous it is]].
** [[spoiler:The Master Chief, once he has his armor repair problems sorted, resumes this role. When you're fighting the Flood, it's helpful to have someone around who's already faced it.]]
* In ''Fanfic/TheWizardInTheShadows'', certainly in the later part of the story, [[PersonOfMassDestruction Harry]] is one of these. At Helm's Deep he casually harness a ''thunderstorm'', and deals out massive amounts of ShockAndAwe. This is after he set up a deadly barrier that obliterated anything that came through it. Around the entire fortress. And holds it. For two hours.
** Harry and [[spoiler: Ginny]] with the Sword of Gryffindor. Harry vaporises a Mûmak. As a side effect. And that was the weakest attack. [[spoiler: Ginny]] creates three tornadoes. Of fire. Destroying the physical forms of three Nazgûl and tens of thousands of orcs, wargs, trolls and easterlings.
* Celestia does this during a battle in ''FanFic/WanderingMoon''. Justification: [[UnstoppableRage royally pissed off]] [[PhysicalGod sun goddess]]. She did bring her own army. And tells them to hang back several minutes due to [[UnfriendlyFire Unfriendly Fi]][[KillItWithFire re Kills Everything]].
* In ''Fanfic/InTheShadowOfGods'', Master Chief fights his way through dozens of mooks while trying to [[spoiler: find Cortana]], regarding them as a mere distraction. Shepard is also no slouch.
* ''Fanfic/AWorldOfBloodyEvolution'': Thanks to her BattleAura protecting her in melee and letting her NoSell bolter shells, [[WebAnimation/{{RWBY}} Yang Xiao Long]] is a killing machine, able to slaughter dozens of Chaos Cultists and Ork Boyz with ease. Even the otherwise obscenely badass [[SuperSoldier Traitor Marines]] are in serious trouble if they meet her on the battlefield. [[spoiler:This is also ignoring the fact that she doesn't use her psyker abilities due to lack of training. Weiss Schnee, who has both Aura ''and'' her psychic powers, is even deadlier.]]
* ''Fanfic/CoreLine'' has several examples of this:
** Any member of the Los Angeles Police Department's Special Investigation Unit (L.A. is a ''ComicBook/JudgeDredd''-style MegaCity on The Line... and the SIU is their idea of TheMenInBlack) could be considered one, but we get a pretty perfect example on the story ''[[http://gideon020.deviantart.com/art/Black-115027666 The Motoko Aramaki Incident]]''. Imagine an OlderAndWiser Alternate version of [[Anime/GhostInTheShell Motoko Kusanagi]] that has embraced her trans-humanity to full-blown ImplacableMan levels. You can kill her as many times as you want... and she will just BodySurf to a new backup and keep on killing.
** ''Legends Of The Fourth Of July'' introduces us to an Alternate of Mari Illustrious Makinami... that is frakking ''ComicBook/CaptainAmerica'' (an Alternate of the Mari from ''Fanfic/SOEAmericanDream'', by the same author). Her introductory story has her start with "BroughtDownToBadass"... which is pretty much Cap standards... and things only get crazier once she has access to her full abilities.
* ''Fanfic/TradeWinds'': Desmond Miles, as befitting most Assassins. As a sailor, he repels most boarding attempts by himself with nothing more than his fists, his hidden blade, and a pilfered French sword, and can clear a deck on his own. Most of his comrades become afraid of him and avoid him, saying that he "fights like a demon" and insisting that he must have made a pact with the devil, or is himself the devil.
* In ''Fanfic/JWITCHSeason1'', the Monkey King is able to hold his own against the [[AmazonBrigade Guardians]], [[BadassNormal Caleb, Jackie]], [[PintSizedPowerhouse Jade]] and [[OldMaster Uncle]] at the same time.
* While Ryuko was already this after the end of ''Anime/KillLaKill'', she becomes this even further in ''Fanfic/DontLoseYourHeart'', racking up a [[Franchise/KingdomHearts Heartless]] body-count well within the '''thousands'''.

[[AC:''Franchise/TheDCU'']]
* ''Fanfic/HellsisterTrilogy'':
** At the beginning of the second story arc, Superman, Supergirl and a third Kryptonian engage and stomp down hundreds of Darkseid's Parademons.
--->She hurled herself into the strange skies of New Genesis, both her arms stretched out perpendicular to her body, and screamed in rage. The group of Para-Demons she was headed for didn't have time to run for it. They barely had time to see she was there.\\
Her powerful, blue-clad, Kryptonian arms acted like twin plows, knocking the winged beasts out of the air. They fell like shot birds, hailing down on the landscape. The New Genesis troops had a chance to gape at the blue streak that was mowing down the enemy.\\
Superman had smashed his great hands together in an impact that almost deafened the New Gods who hovered too near to him. The shockwave from the crash buffeted a flying legion of Para-Demons. That was all the time Superman needed to separate them physically from the New Genesis flight troops they were attacking, and to tap them into dreamland.
** Among the many heroes and villains capable of mowing down armies single-handedly, Berserker -a half Kryptonian, half Zeroxian sorcerer who has been raised by Darkseid- stands out:
--->From one, a moving image sprang forth. A rapidly-moving figure, tearing through the machinery and soldiers of a well-equipped army. Just one man against a horde, and within minutes, that man had won.
* In ''Fanfic/KaraOfRokyn'', both the titular character and her enemies from the PhantomZone are capable of tearing down an army single-handedly.
* In ''Fanfic/AForceOfFour'', the three Kryptonian rogues set Paradise Island on fire and crush every military force thrown against them.
* ''Fanfic/HereThereBeMonsters'' has two ComicBook/{{Shazam}}'s villains, Mister Atom and Red Crusher. The Canadian Army cannot even slow them down as they march through North America.
-->The announcer spoke of a large rocket from space which had landed in northern Canada, too quickly for interception, and broken apart to disgorge two huge figures. One of them was a giant robot. The other was a titanic man in a Communist army uniform.\\
The Canadian army had sent out a detachment to intercept them, and the twosome had gone through the tanks, weapons, and men faster than a combine through a wheatfield. They continued on their way, and towns were being evacuated before them.

[[AC:''Franchise/DragonAge'']]
* In ''Fanfic/DragonAgeTheCrownOfThorns'', Alim Surana, the elven mage, takes the crown. Granted, he needs a boatload of fresh blood (like, say, from all the fresh dead in Ostagar, humans and darkspawn alike) or a huge load of lyrium to let loose (read: [[spoiler:hold off the whole darkspawn horde by himself for a while]]), but he manages to take out most enemies in every other situation as well.

[[AC:''Franchise/FinalFantasy'']]
* In the ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVII'' fanfic ''Fanfic/CissneisPath'', Zack Fair was firmly established as this. Heidegger literally threw half of their army against him (as he did in ''Crisis Core'') and Zack killed all but the three that finally got him before the Turks showed up. This loss compounded with Sephiroth's later massacre has left Shinra comparatively crippled.

[[AC:''VideoGame/{{Gorillas}}'']]
* Col. Flix from ''DarthWiki/QBasicGorillas'' can take out dozens of Ice Chimps all by himself all at once, whereas two or three Ice Chimps at once is an awful lot for the other Gorillas to handle.

[[AC:''WesternAnimation/InvaderZim'']]
* ''Fanfic/ZimTheWarlordIrkenReversion'': Due to a combination of his Invader training and the vastly increased strength of his [[{{Metamorphosis}} Reverted]] state, Zim is virtually unstoppable in a fight. This is best shown when he rushes in to save Professor Membrane from some kidnappers, ''flipping a van'' in the process and wiping the floor with the dozen or so armed assailants who come at him.

[[AC:''WesternAnimation/KungFuPanda'']]
* In the ''Kung Fu Panda'' story [[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5862877/9/Making-the-Cut Making the Cut]], Jo fights off the entirety of Master Keen Lee's 52 kung fu students though with much effort and injury. The author later said that the scene was inspired by the Crazy 88 fight scene from the movie ''Kill Bill''.

[[AC:''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'']]
* ''Fanfic/AncientSins'': Nearly every main character rises to this level, but the one at the top of the list is Dante, who holds the ability to takes out massive hordes with only his bare hands and when he uses his magic?
* In ''FanFic/TheImmortalGame'', [[spoiler: Twilight Sparkle, after gaining the power of all five of her friends, pretty much becomes a physical god. At one point during the story, she single-handedly fights the strongest mortal bladecaster alive, his entire personal regiment of guards, and the avatar of a god more powerful than every other cast member combined. She does this without breaking a sweat.]]

[[AC:''Manga/{{Naruto}}'']]
* In ''Fanfic/{{Echoes}}'', a great deal of the top-tier shinobi are classified as SS-rank. This ranking includes people like Madara Uchiha, [[GreenThumb Hashirama Senju]], [[ShockAndAwe The 3rd Raikage]], [[SuperSpeed Minato Namikaze]]... The standing advice when up against an SS-rank if you're not also one is generally "[[ScrewThisImOuttaHere Flee on Sight]]."
** [[spoiler:And all of the former ''pale'' when compared to the BigBad of the [[GalacticConquerer Teikoku]]: the Warlord, an [[FaceHeelTurn evil Naruto]]. For reference? In his backstory, he [[DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu killed Kaguya Ootsutsuki]] alone.]] [[spoiler:And in the present time? He leads the Teikoku, a group of [[GalacticConquerer multiversal conquererers]] despite the fact [[TheFriendNobodyLikes every other member wants him dead]], nearly killed three S-Rank shinobi with just one of his Shadow Clones, and used a super-ninjutsu to]] ''[[spoiler: ColonyDrop two entire planets into each other.]]''

[[AC:''Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion'']]
* ''Fanfic/ACrownOfStars'': Shinji and Asuka. Three years before the first chapter Asuka had taken on an army and nine Evangelions, and almost won. One month before the start of the story Shinji and Asuka took on an entire army and two Evas with nothing but a half-functioning Mass-Production giant robot that couldn’t produce an AT-Field. [[OriginalCharacter Ching]] praises Asuka for her battle against the nine MP-Evas and declares that if she had a better mecha Asuka would be capable to tear through ninety. During the second half of the story Shinji and Asuka frequently take on whole batallions and a fleet riding a single mecha.
* ''Fanfic/AdviceAndTrust'': While Asuka is trying to cheer Shinji up, she reminds him that they are possibly the most dangerous people on the planet and they could take on anything and anyone.
* ''Fanfic/OnceMoreWithFeeling'':
** Fed up with an admiral slighting the Evangelions, Shinji points out that in his first engagement he went up against a monster that obliterated a Tank Battallion and three dozens of aircraft and shrugged nukes off... and he took out that enemy in sixty-three seconds.
** Nonetheles, Shinji readily believes that Asuka is more badass than him.
* ''Fanfic/TheSecondTry'': Before the FinalBattle Shinji was reluctant to fight soldiers and Asuka reassured him, saying he only needed protecting her power cable, since that army was not a trouble to them.
* In ''Fanfic/NeonGenesisEvangelionGenocide'', the main characters are HumongousMecha pilots. Any of them is capable of mowing an army down. And the new [[EldritchAbomination Angels]] are as destructive as their predecessors from canon.

[[AC:RealPersonFic]]
* An InformedAttribute of the Hunter in ''Fanfic/WithStringsAttached''; he likes to brag about how he hacked his way through armies, and the ActualPacifist four are VERY glad they didn't have to witness any of it—until they get a taste of it after the Hunter slaughters half a pack of Poison Wolves. Later, when the five of them battle [[NightOfTheLivingMooks endless hordes of undead]] on the Plains of Death, he proves himself an extremely competent fighter but does exhaust himself eventually.

[[AC:''Literature/ASongOfIceAndFire'']]
* Prince Joffrey Baratheon evolves into this in ''FanFic/PurpleDays''. In the last GroundhogDayLoop he participated in, he personally destroyed the entire Rainbow Guard, seven of the deadliest knights in Westeros, ''by himself''. One of them while unarmed, after having to shake off a bunch of foot soldiers vainly trying to pin him down. Loras Tyrell, in particular, was slain with Joff's helmet's ''ornamental antlers''. After that, in the last battle of that life, when Daenerys attacked King's Landing, he and his knights slew Rhaegal. Concussed, wounded and exhausted, he's pitted against Drogon in a mockery of trial by combat, ''and he reminds the beast what dirt tastes like''. A hysterical Daenerys is forced to call Viserion and keep tossing warriors at Joff before he can manage to kill the last dragon.


[[AC: ''VideoGame/SuperMarioBros'']]
* Many examples of this in ''Fanfic/FallenKingdom''.
** About twenty of these characters are locked away in [[TheAlcatraz Stoneshell Prison]], most of them being Mario’s former partners from the [[VideoGame/PaperMario first]] [[VideoGame/PaperMarioTheThousandYearDoor two]] Paper Mario games, as well as Donkey Kong and his family. They were said by Yoshi to each be worth 100 imperial soldiers, and it’s implied the only thing keeping them in the compound is lack of hope. When Cobal informs them of the rebellion, they easily clear through the hundreds of men and escape.
** Higher up on the scale are the Koopalings, Bowser’s children. They are grown adults by this point and have the RoyaltySuperpower of Bowser as well as magical prowess. They are typically the strongest beings in the sector they rule, which is impressive considering each sector consists of multiple kingdoms. The only rebellion members able to take one on singlehandedly are Luigi and Koops, and the latter can only do so because of enchantments from one of the Koopalings. [[spoiler:Just the eight Koopalings and Kammy were able to defeat [[TheDragon Skallz Fortiscule]], while about twice that number of Stoneshell Prison escapees, who are each this trope, were [[CurbStompBattle helpless against him]].]]
** The Mario Bros, true to their games, are also this trope. They were each considered worth 500 normal soldiers, and Luigi can take on Koopalings on his own. [[spoiler:With Mario’s fivefold power boost, he became basically invincible to imperial troops, destroying entire city blocks in his battle with Bowser, who had been enhanced by a dark potion.]]
** The board members of Seven Stars, the NGOSuperpower that had been manipulating events for half a century, are also this trope. The weakest of them could take on Cobal, Strike, Prince Peasley, and K. Rool, all at the same time, and only losing by a surprise CombinationAttack. Keep in mind those guys are comparable to Stoneshell Prison inmates. Even Giovanni, who is mostly known for being the GadgeteerGenius, can get a Koopaling on the ropes. To say nothing of Skallz Fortiscule, who is a one man army [[UpToEleven of one man armies!]] [[spoiler:Their leader, Antonio, literally fought the entire world’s united armies and ''very'' nearly won.]]
[[AC:''Franchise/StarWars'']]
* In ''Fanfic/RiseOfTheRedEclipse'', [[SuperSoldier Centurion Chris-Z9571]] is a ten foot tall walking mass of armor, muscle, and hidden weaponry with a stealth factor capable of taking on enemy shock troops with ease, jumping out of gunships and landing without a scratch (in which he usually creates a small crater where he lands), taking on small armies by himself (and occasionally with his own personal squad of marines), and taking on some of the hardest hitting villains of the series in hand-to-hand combat, usually either hurting them enough to retreat or beating them to the point that they have to be evacuated.

[[AC:''TabletopGame/Warhammer40000'']]
* Attelus Kaltos of ''Fanfic/SecretWar'' was a skilled apprentice-assassin in his own right at the start. But has gotten even more Badass as the the story progressed. Able to fight on even ground with enemies with twice his experience and win despite being badly injured and exhausted (more due to his [[CombatPragmatist rampart cheating]], but still) also able to fight and defeat many a Mook group singled handed.

[[AC:''VideoGame/TheWorldEndsWithYou'']]
* Eri from ''Fanfic/ErisGame'' underwent of taking down {{Mooks}} by herself [[TookALevelInBadass upon becoming from fashion designer to butt-kicking activist]]. She kept this status even in the Reapers' Game.

** ''[[http://orionpax09.deviantart.com/art/Legends-Of-The-Fourth-of-July-1-469866226 Legends Of The Fourth Of July]]'' introduces us to an Alternate of Mari Illustrious Makinami... that is frakking ''ComicBook/CaptainAmerica'' (an Alternate of the Mari from ''Fanfic/SOEAmericanDream'', by the same author). Her introductory story has her start with "BroughtDownToBadass"... which is pretty much Cap standards... and things only get crazier once she has access to her full abilities.
* The Horned King, the VillainProtagonist of ''Fanfic/HopeForTheHeartless'', is both a lich and a LightningBruiser. He proves his might by facing against the Mad Pack, a pack of about thirty AxCrazy {{savage wolves}} to [[VillainousRescue rescue Avalina]]. He endures all the mauling and [[PostVictoryCollapse collapses only after the last wolf is dead]].
* Prince Joffrey Baratheon evolves into this in ''FanFic/PurpleDays''. In the last GroundhogDayLoop he participated in, he personally destroyed the entire Rainbow Guard, seven of the deadliest knights in Westeros, ''by himself''. One of them while unarmed, after having to shake off a bunch of foot soldiers vainly trying to pin him down. Loras Tyrell, in particular, was slain with Joff's helmet's ''ornamental antlers''. After that, in the last battle of that life, when Daenerys attacked King's Landing, he and his knights slew Rhaegal. Concussed, wounded and exhausted, he's pitted against Drogon in a mockery of trial by combat, ''and he reminds the beast what dirt tastes like''. A hysterical Daenerys is forced to call Viserion and keep tossing warriors at Joff before he can manage to kill the last dragon.

* In ''Fanfic/KaraOfRokyn'', both the titular character and her enemies from the PhantomZone are capable of tearing down an army single-handedly.
* In ''Fanfic/AForceOfFour'', the three Kryptonian rogues set Paradise Island on fire and crush every military force thrown against them.
* ''Fanfic/ZimTheWarlordIrkenReversion'': Due to a combination of his Invader training and the vastly increased strength of his [[{{Metamorphosis}} Reverted]] state, Zim is virtually unstoppable in a fight. This is best shown when he rushes in to save Professor Membrane from some kidnappers, ''flipping a van'' in the process and wiping the floor with the dozen or so armed assailants who come at him.

* In ''FanFic/{{Fractured}}'', a ''Franchise/MassEffect''[=/=]''Franchise/StarWars''[=/=]''VideoGame/{{Borderlands}}'' [[MassiveMultiplayerCrossover crossover]] and its [[FanFic/SovereignGFCOrigins sequel]], this is all over the place.

*** Wanda Maximoff, (who's a PersonOfMassDestruction herself), name-drops this trope in regard to [[Literature/TheDresdenFiles Jared "The Hellhound" Kincaid]].

* In ''Fanfic/KaraOfRokyn'', both the titular character and her enemies from the PhantomZome are capable of tearing down an army single-handedly.
