14	* ''Webcomic/AntiBunny'': Most of the cast are anthropomorphic rabbits. Several of them pack guns. One of them hits people with bats.
15	* ''Webcomic/BittersweetCandyBowl'', Lucy can kick a whole lot more ass than is apparent.
16	* At ''Webcomic/BronzeSkinInc'', coatis who prowl around the namesake company and steal its supplies are quite lovely, but nonetheless manage to be quite persuasive by more direct means.
17	* The main character (unnamed but dubbed BB by the audience) of ''Webcomic/TheBullysBully'' is a cute little girl who is a MartialPacifist and can [[BadassNormal kick serious butt]] when the occasion demands.
18	* The animal forms of ''Webcomic/ButImACatPerson'''s shapeshifting Beings include an adorable puppy and a fluffy pink rabbit. Some of their human appearances [[https://www.bicatperson.com/comic/chapter-three-page-two/ are pretty cute too]].
19	* The TropeNamer is Green Mega Man (The Mega-speaking, mega-hyperactive, mega-side kick from ''WesternAnimation/{{Captain N\|The Gamemaster}}''), from ''Webcomic/CaptainSNES''. Even the Cynical, rude, and foul-mouthed bastard that is Alex Williams, thinks Green Mega is Adorably Badass.
20	* While the titular character of ''Webcomic/CharbyTheVampirate'' is stuck looking like an cute if sharp toothed kid, he took out a ship full of pirates on his ninth birthday, and has only gotten cooler since then.
21	* Nin Wah, the red panda from ''Webcomic/CommanderKitty''. At one point, she manages to [[http://www.commanderkitty.com/2011/02/06/and-shes-all-out-of-bubblegum/ fight off]] an [[http://www.commanderkitty.com/2011/05/15/saved-by-the-bell/ entire army]] of mashed-up goons three times her size.
22	* ''{{Webcomic/Contrasts}}'': Ahsoka's quite cute, and a formidable Jedi Knight.
23	* Most of the cast of ''Webcomic/{{Digger}}'' is this. Digger herself, Ed, Shadowchild, Murai...
24	* Lukas from ''Webcomic/DNATheWebcomic'', is an adorable and shy [[BeastMan furry humanoid]] kid who likes to draw, which he cutely pronounces "drawl". He also has super powers and doesn't hesitate to use them. Rigel, who is the only one of the kids who does not have powers, learns the hard way that [[BullyingADragon bullying him is a bad idea.]]
25	* Peaches (FriendToAllLivingThings Oni) and Cherry (magic-using CuteBruiser) from ''Webcomic/DragonMango''.
26	* Several of the younger characters in ''Webcomic/{{Drowtales}}'' are like this due to the way drow age at half the rate of humans, making them look like young children even when in their 20s, but Ariel is probably the best example, since in the first arc of the story she looks about 8 and has already kicked the asses of and even ''killed'' several people who've gone after her. Generally speaking even cute little kids in ''Drowtales'' can kick loads of ass since they live in a CrapsackWorld and pretty much ''have'' to in order to stay alive.
27	* In ''Webcomic/ElGoonishShive'', Grace is a cheerful girl who is cute in all her main forms, and she's so powerful that Shive has to jump though narrative hoops to prevent her from having a StoryBreakerPower.
28	* Bridget the Zombie from ''Webcomic/FarOutThere''. Especially in [[http://faroutthere.smackjeeves.com/comics/1072504/page-256-pwnage/ this comic]].
29	* Lowping, the gnome rogue entirely controlled by scripts from ''Webcomic/FlintlockesGuideToAzeroth''.
30	* Kexas from the sprite comic ''Kirby's Dream Adventure'' is a good example. Being a kirby, she's adorable by default, and she's the champion of the arena thanks to her raw physical strength and access to a permanent Crash ability. Her name even sounds like "kicks-ass".
31	* The three main protagonists of ''Webcomic/GunnerkriggCourt''. [[HalfHumanHybrid Annie]] has befriended ''gods'', [[TeenGenius Kat]] has somehow become a semi-divine figure to an entire society, and [[GrandTheftMe Renard]] is a body-shifting fox-demon who is easily one of the scariest things in the whole series. Annie and Kat are 13/14 years old. Renard is currently in the body of a toy wolf.
32	* Little Rorschach in a ''Gunshow'' [[http://gunshowcomic.com/d/20090312.html story arc]].
33	* In the same vein as ''Videogame/{{EarthBound\|1994}}'', the kids from ''Webcomic/{{Homestuck}}'', even the UglyCute Trolls. Yes, those ''are'' thirteen-year-old tykes, casually manipulating time, space and ''the universe itself'', fighting hordes that make the [[ZergRush Zerg]] look conservative and blowing up stars.(Special mention goes to [[LittleMissSnarker Rose]] and [[CatGirl Nepeta]].)
34	** Taken up to eleven with Jade's [[spoiler: God Tier form, which gave her her pet dog's RealityWarper powers -- and dog ears.]]
35	** And unsurprisingly, harshly deconstructed due to the [[DysfunctionJunction mental and emotional stress this places on a bunch of tweens]], and the logical consequences of, you know, manipulating the fabric of reality and blowing up stars without [[PoorCommunicationKills communicating effectively]], [[DysfunctionJunction getting along]], [[DidNotThinkThisThrough thinking things through]], or [[KudzuPlot knowing the details of what's going on]].
36	* Several characters in ''Webcomic/KevinAndKell'' qualify, but the undisputed champion is Coney Dewclaw. Physically a rabbit, but also half-wolf (on her mother's side). She's established to have her mother's dentition, and though she can eat both plants and meat, she definitely prefers the latter. One of the early jokes of the comic was how she could effortlessly devour slavering carnivores five times her size in a single panel. She has developed over time and age (as of 2023, she is ten years old) so she can solve her (and others') problems in a variety of ways. This also applies to varying degrees to [[Characters/KevinAndKellConeysPeers her circle of friends]].
37	%%* ''Webcomic/LastRes0rt'' has Jigsaw Forte, among others.
38	* ''Webcomic/LeifAndThorn'': Ivy Muscade. Twintails, frilly skirts, poufy sleeves, [[http://leifandthorn.com/comic/fish-story-2741/ most powerful water mage of her generation]]. Even more so in the "Magical Thorn AU" where she's [[http://leifandthorn.com/comic/magical-thorn-act-1-page-2/ a gap-toothed second-grader]].
39	* BIP in ''Webcomic/LittleRobotBigScaryWorld'' is an adorable robot who's also completely awesome, as he helps save the humans from the darkness and enemy troopers through sheer determination, the power of friendship, and making use of his environment.
40	* ''WebComic/MagickChicks'': Initially, Callista seems smug and confident, given she's the captain of her school's archery club, a member of [[AbsurdlyPowerfulStudentCouncil the student council]], and [[http://www.magickchicks.com/strips-mc/deadeye she's pretty popular.]] Yet, despite all this, she's actually shy... [[http://www.magickchicks.com/strips-mc/a_good_second_banana especially when it comes to romance.]]
41	* Ruby Gem, the little toddler vampire girl from ''Webcomic/{{Monsterful}}''. Even more Badass when she transforms into a VSV (Vampiric Spartan Viking).
42	* Amical from ''Webcomic/{{Morphe}}'' is a pretty boy with soft golden curls. He is also a ludicrously powerful mage who is not to be toyed with.
43	* Fred of ''Webcomic/{{Namesake}}''. He literally exists to be a soldier and is ''lethal'' with a pair of daggers, taking down sword fighters and supernatural ghost-things alike, as well as picking up and carrying a grown woman despite being around five feet tall. He is also extremely naive, awkward and sweet, gets both excited and confused about human things like sandwiches, and is completely smitten with the girl who accidentally granted him several human characteristics. Just look at this [[http://namesakecomic.com/comic/interview-with-fred/ interview.]] To quote a reader on that page: "Fred's so fucking cute he can say another card was destroyed in battle and all I wanna do is pinch his stupid cheeks."
44	** While Fred is the fan favorite, a number of other characters qualify, including [[RealityWarper Elaine]] [[BrattyTeenageDaughter Crewe]], [[TheAtoner Warrick Chopper]] and [[RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething Princess]] [[OlderThanTheyLook Ozma]].
45	* ''Webcomic/TheOswaldChronicles'''s eponymous Oswald, a mouse with pince-nez glasses, a bow-tie and a vest. Also, enough magical mojo to go toe to toe with the greatest sorcerer alive.
46	* Sophia Moriatos of ''Webcomic/OurLittleAdventure''. She is ''ridiculously'' adorable, especially given the art style, and also an exceedingly powerful sorceress who heads the Soulballo Empire's arcane training division.
47	* Tycho's niece Anne, or "Annarchy" in ''Webcomic/PennyArcade'', tearing up zombies with a [[Franchise/StarTrek bat'leth]]. Her alter-ego "Anne-Claire" in ''VideoGame/PennyArcadeAdventures'' sports a KillSat attack.
48	* More than one character in ''Webcomic/PrincessChroma'' falls under this umbrella, but June is the prime example, especially when she's in her MagicalGirl costume while wielding a large mace.
49	* ''Webcomic/RoninGalaxy'': Cecil gives his opponent a cheesy little v-sign before [[http://www.roningalaxy.com/comics/chapter-1/page-23/ dispatching]] of him. [[http://www.roningalaxy.com/comics/chapter-1/page-40/ Twice.]]
50	* ''Webcomic/SluggyFreelance'' has had a few including Princess-Princess who is really Secret Angel Princess-Princess. Especially when she figures out how stupid that sounds out loud. Secret Cranky Office Temp could also qualify. Aylee in a couple of her forms was adorable and could either swallow you whole or burn you to a crisp. Obviously Oasis, the ultimate cutie when she's not taking out entire armies single handed. Being bat-shit insane can have her going from one to the other in nanoseconds. And then there is Bun Bun; a cute little mini-lop with floppy ears, aww. That is until you look deep into those big dark eyes and see how much you are going to suffer if you don't get out of his face right now, toots.
51	* ''Webcomic/SugarBits''. Bleedman is possibly the only person in the world who can make a cookie badass. And this is without mentioning Bo, the ridiculously adorable and tiny sheep... who will do [[http://sugar.snafu-comics.com/index.php?comic_id=102 this]] if you screw with her friends.
52	* Arcturus Winrock from ''Webcomic/SuicideForHire'', if you think a chain-smoker who dresses like a punk and kills people for money can be cute.
53	* ''Webcomic/SuperStupor'', a side project from the creator of ''Webcomic/SomethingPositive'' breaks down the trope as a basic fact of {{superhero}} / {{supervillain}} life [[http://www.superstupor.com/sust04092008.shtml and its result on those too stupid to not recognize it.]]
54	* Morty of ''Suppression'' is described as a walking sphere of primal, powerful magic energy. He has (in teaming up with Kirk) devastated demons much larger than him and taken out an entire row of houses after turning into a BFG. And he is absolutely adorable.
55	* The Racconans from ''Webcomic/TalesOfTheQuestor'' are an entire nation of tiny Raccoon-like humanoids... ...Nearly all of which can unleash powerful magics in self-defence, have perfected magical engineering to the point they're nearly an industrial power in an age of knights and castles, and most Racconan communities have huge militias. Add to that an attitude of [[CombatPragmatist combat pragmatism]] and an insidious cunning, and you have a nation of 2 foot tall critters that has thus far squashed every invasion thus attempted on it's territory. The Racconans could teach the Ewoks a few lessons.
56	* ''Webcomic/TowerOfGod'': Anaak, who is a LittleMissBadass that can be pretty adorable once you get to know her, and Mule Love, a PintsizedPowerhouse who everyone agrees is cute, small and freakishly strong.
57	* ''Webcomic/TuesdayTitans'':
58	** The bat Titans. Easily some of the smallest Titans at barely 50 meters tall, they look positively miniscule compared to the larger Titans. However, they are still more than capable of acting as air support, being just as bold and ferocious as any Titan.
59	** [[spoiler:Lemony. 250 meters of genetically engineered muscle created to act as a living weapon of mass destruction and she's as cute as a bright yellow button. Her anxious, inquisitive nature and ravenous SweetTooth make her even more charming.]]
60	* Princess Reni from ''Webcomic/TwoKinds'' might just be the most endearing dragon ever. She's shy, socially awkward, somewhat of a klutz, at only 20 years old (for an immortal race) quite inexperienced, is adorably enthusiastic about her hobby of collecting minor magic artifacts or the prospect of adventure, and has a distinct tendency to have her private thoughts leak out via the telepathy that all dragons use to communicate, usually to embarrassing results. However cutely awkward she might be, though, she's still ''a frickin' dragon''. Even a juvenile dragon is several tons of flying, fire-breathing clawed and scaled menace with more magical potential in her pinky claw than most mortals could ever dream of. Untrained and inexperienced or not, she can still teleport, breathe fire, shapeshift, heal, read minds, put you to sleep with a single touch of her claw, and punch through solid stone walls. It is ''not'' a good idea to piss her off -- as the wolven terrorists attacking Edinmire found out -- even if she ''is'' a klutz who routinely bumps her head on doorways.
61	* Platypus from ''Webcomic/{{Vinigortonio}}'' may look like an ordinary platypus but can actually hold his own in a fight and even infiltrate the police department without being noticed.
62	* Jack Hawkin from ''Webcomic/ZokushoComics'' is a foot shorter than anyone else on his team and considerably younger. He is obviously extremely pleased by a simple compliment on his chess playing abilities. Just a few pages later he's calling down lightning to fry the enemies he isn't just setting on fire.
