** Frank Castle, AKA The Punisher, is one as well. He takes out entire gangs on his own, in single encounters. Even when captured by the Kitchen Irish and tortured for hours, he still manages to kill a few members before being saved by Daredevil. When is sent to prison, where he has no weapons whatsoever, he takes on ten other inmates sent to kill him, and still kills nearly all of them, knocking out the rest. At the end of it all, he is covered in the blood of his victims. This is [[UpToEleven taken even further]] in his [[Series/ThePunisher2017 own series]], where in one flashback he takes on at least THIRTY Mujahideen soldiers, first with his [[CoolGuns/AssaultRifles Heckler & Koch HK416]], then his side-arm, then an enemy's AKS-74U then his [[KnifeNut K-Bar]], and finally finished things off with GoodOldFisticuffs and a rock. He even got shot twice and that didn't slow him down.

* ''[[Series/WonderWoman1975 Wonder Woman]]'': And how! Take an already [[SuperStrength extremely powerful]] [[{{Superhero}} superheroine]], throw in [[ExecutiveMeddling executive fiat to not show a woman getting hit by a man in prime time in]] TheSeventies, and you have the very model of a modern one woman army. This combined to make Wonder Woman vastly stronger, faster, and more skilled than most of her foes. So much so that during TheSeventies, the focus was on Agent Diana Prince with the understanding that any serious problem would be solved by [[EverythingsBetterWithSpinning transforming into Wonder Woman]]. For good reason!

** And of course the Mandalorian himself. First he fights off half a bar for a bounty, then he disables a sea monster trying to eat his ship, and when IG-11 gets in over his head, he's the one who gets his hands on the E-WEB and uses it to kill the rest of the thugs.

* Pick a ''Franchise/KamenRider'', ''ANY'' Kamen Rider.

*** Rory also spent 2000 years in a collapsing history protecting the Pandorica [[spoiler:(which held Amy in stasis)]] and gave "stern warnings" to anyone who attempted to open the box before its time. As we saw from what he later did to the entire Twelfth Cyber Legion, its likely the people of that reality became all too aware of what [[BullyingADragon testing the patience]] of [[ShroudedInMyth "The Last Centurion"]] would lead too, if Rory thought they in any way threatened Amy's safety.

* River Tam in ''Film/{{Serenity}}'', became a [[WaifFu One Waif Army]]. One waif to kill them all...
** Also, she can kill you with her brain...
** Go ahead. Mess with her older brother, Simon. [[ViolentlyProtectiveGirlfriend River will hand you your ass.]]

** During "Battle of the Bastards", Jon charges by himself against the Bolton cavalry and racks up an impressive body count during the fight. Not even Barristan Selmy in his last stand against the Sons of the Harpy was able to take down as many of his enemies as Jon did. (Though Jon fought on a giant battlegield of thousands and those he killed weren't always focused on him, making it not as impressive.)

* The ''{{Series/Merlin}}'' series finale featured Merlin going up against the entire Saxon army at Camlann, in addition to a HighPriestess and a dragon. [[spoiler:He wins, [[CurbStompBattle hands down]].]] There is a ''reason'' he's known as TheArchmage.

* Dean Winchester in ''Series/{{Supernatural}}''. His brother Sam may be the smarter one, capable of tracking down monsters more easily and finding a way to kill them, but Dean walked into a large nest of vampires and slaughtered pretty much the lot of them on his own. This was after he survived an entire year of virtually non-stop combat in what was described as "monster heaven."

* Jack Bauer from ''[[Series/TwentyFour 24]]''. Bauer is a One Man Armed Forces and Intelligence Service. Plus a BadassGrandpa.

** And, from a Russian Black Ops team discussing surrender

** In the episode ''Friendly Fire'', Michael dresses in a black suit with a red shirt and tie, purposely invoking the subconscious idea that he is the Devil. The barrio gangsters he was trying to intimidate are skeptical in the beginning, but by the end of the episode actually believe that were being attacked by Satan.

--> '''Casey:''' Lucky for me I'm a Marine. ''*Cue CurbStompBattle*''

* Even the TechnicalPacifist [[Series/DoctorWho Doctor]] probably killed hundreds or thousands of random MonsterOfTheWeek, and non-fatally defeated hundreds more--he's the only person feared by the genocidal [[ScaryDogmaticAliens Daleks]]. In one episode, River Song actually called him this:
-->'''Father Octavian:''' Doctor Song, you promised me an army.
-->'''River Song:''' No, I promised you the ''equivalent'' of an army. This is the Doctor.
** The Doctor is particularly noteworthy for ending the Time War by [[spoiler:initiating an event which destroyed the entire Time Lord race, and almost all of the Daleks (the Dalek fleet alone comprising ''10 million'' ships]].
** In the new series, the Daleks themselves have become One Alien Armies; the lone Dalek in "Dalek" killed two hundred people in less than an hour, and a Dalek in "Doomsday" boasts (not without reason) that a single Dalek could kill ''five million'' Cybermen (though, admittedly, it took them a bit of time to get there).
** And let's not forget River Song herself, who has apparently committed so many atrocities, she made a Dalek beg for mercy just by asking it to look up her name, [[spoiler: although the fact that history records her as ''killing'' the Doctor might have had something to do with it (even if its only because the Doctor faked his death)]]. In the episode Day of the Moon, [[spoiler:she proves herself pretty adept at killing a room full of Silence with a small weapon kept in her purse]]. What's more, it probably says something about the Doctor that this seems to turn him on a little bit. And God help anyone who gets in their way!
--->'''Doctor''': Oh and this is my friend River. Nice hair, clever, has her own gun. And unlike me, she really doesn't mind shooting people. I shouldn't like that... kind of do, a bit.
--->'''River''': Thank you, sweetie!
** Rory Williams went up against an entire crew of Cybermen and scared the crap out of them.
--> '''Rory''': I have a message and a question. A message from the Doctor and a question from ''me!'' [[spoiler: '''WHERE! IS! MY! WIFE?!''']] Oh, don't give me those blank looks! The Twelfth Cyber-Legion monitors this entire quadrant! You hear ''everything!'' So you tell me what I need to know, you tell me ''now!''. And I will be on my way...
--> '''Cyber-Controller''': What is the message from the Doctor?
--> *''The entire fleet behind Rory explodes''*
--> '''Rory''': Would you like me to to ''[[DoNotTauntCthulhu repeat]]'' the question?!

* [[Series/{{Farscape}} John Crichton]] from ''Series/{{Farscape}}'' pretty much ended a war between the two galactic superpowers single-handed.

--> '''Mason Steele:''' She must be executed as an example to all those who idolize her. Get her!
--> ''[Wonder Woman tilts her head with an expression of "Seriously?" mixed with "Bring it on"]''
--> '''Lead Mook:''' Well, we gotta so something!
--> ''[Wonder Woman demonstrates why [[BullyingTheDragon bullying the dragon is such a bad idea]]]''

** In "Fausta, the Nazi Wonder Woman", she beat up the first three of four [[{{Mooks}} mooks]] so easily that she interrogated the last one and just him go. And that was the preamble to [[spoiler: breaking out of a Nazi interrogation room, overpowering multiple guards at once, and wiping the floor with everyone else in the room - including the Nazi Wonder Woman.]]

--> '''[Wonder Woman demonstrates why [[BullyingTheDragon bullying the dragon is such a bad idea]]]''

** Danny Rand, AKA the Iron Fist, and his girlfriend Colleen [[BattleCouple are both this]]. Danny's Iron Fist allows him to take out entire squadrons of men just by slamming it into the ground, and [[BadassNormal Colleen]] once takes on an entire street gang of teenagers who've been trained in martial arts all by herself and wins with no more than very minor injuries.

** Frank Castle, AKA The Punisher, is one as well. He takes out entire gangs on his own, in single encounters. Even when captured by the Kitchen Irish and tortured for hours, he still manages to kill a few members before being saved by Daredevil. When is sent to prison, where he has no weapons whatsoever, he takes on ten other inmates sent to kill him, and still kills nearly all of them, knocking out the rest. At the end of it all, he is covered in the blood of his victims. This is [[UpToEleven taken even further]] in his [[Series/ThePunisher2017 own series]], where in one flashback he takes on at least THIRTY Mujahideen soldiers, first with his [[CoolGuns/AssaultRifles Heckler & Koch HK416]], then his side-arm, then an enemy's AKS-74U then his [[KnifeNut K-Bar]], and finally finished things off with GoodOldFistcuffs and a rock. He even got shot twice and that didn't slow him down.

He even got shot twice and that didn't slow him down.

** Matt Murdock, AKA Daredevil, is definitely one of these. In the second episode "Cut Man", Murdock, after being badly injured, attacks nine Russian gangsters holding a boy hostage. Everyone of them gets knocked out and Murdock still has enough energy to carry the boy home. He then tops this feat in Season Two, Episode Three "New York's Finest" where, after a beating from the Punisher, Matt knocks him out, and then proceeds to demolish no less than a dozen members biker gang, the same one that Lorelei possessed.

He even got shot twice and that didn't slow him down.
** Jessica Jones's super-strength has allowed her to win bar brawls against entire groups of men, and she can casually take guys and offhandedly throw them over her shoulder.
** Luke Cage has his moments. In the third episode "Who's Gonna Take The Weight", he goes into multiple complexes, sometimes "fighting" as many as ten people at a time, some of them armed with [[BFG heavy assault rifles]] and others with knifes and baseball bats. He walks out without a ''single scratch.''

** Subverted by the ''Valiant'', another ''Defiant''-class ship, from the episode of the same name. While it managed to take out some Dominion fighters with ease, things don't go as well when it tries to take on a much bigger, much more heavily armed battleship on it's own. [[spoiler: The battle ends with the ship destroyed and all, but three of it's crew killed.]] Being crewed by bunch of inexperienced, overstressed cadets certainly didn't help.

This is in stark contrast to the original series, where a Dalek could be defeated by a flight of stairs. Maybe they got [[TookALevelInBadass an update]]. They did in the original series serial "Remembrance of the Daleks"
