** [[CallingYourAttacks RAKAN-FOR-THE-HELL-OF-IT-RIGHT-HAND-PUNCH!]]
** Don\\\'t forget Kotaro, who firmly believes that men should live by the fist, talk with their fists, and bath in an onsen completely naked because covering oneself is unmanly.
* \\\'\\\'GurrenLagann\\\'\\\' gives us such gems as [[HoYay \\\"Manly combining is a beautiful thing!\\\"]]
** Who The Hell Do You Think I Am ?!! is pretty much the rallying cry of masculinity.
** [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V3GSMPAZhMU&feature=fvw This.]] Beware, your computer will overload from the epic manliness.
** You think that was bad? Try [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eIgudZI0kqg this.]] If your computer went berserk with the above one, your computer will asplode.
* Banjo Haran from \\\'Daitarn3\\\' is probably a proto-Kamina in that regard.
* Good god, 25% of the cast for \\\'\\\'{{Eyeshield 21}}\\\'\\\' is this. In fact, there\\\'s even a language that only the manliest of manly men can understand.
* Adam Blade in \\\'\\\'{{Needless}}\\\'\\\'... but almost the entire cast is infused with varying forms of badass.
* \\\'\\\'{{GaoGaiGar}}\\\'\\\'. That is all.
COMICS:
* [[{{Comicbook/Doom}} The Doom Marine.]]
--> Who\\\'s a man and a half? I\\\'m a man and a half!
* Add to this trope some serious sociopathy and you get... ThePunisher!
* Any {{Lobo}} comic. Preferably when written by his creator, Keith Giffen. Practically a testosterone aneurism.
* \\\'\\\'300\\\'\\\' embodies this trope so much that it slips into HoYay territory.
* And we could go on and on... Really, just ANY superheroe/villain of the DorkAge will be guilty of this trope... and even some of the heroines.
FAN FIC:
* \\\'\\\'FanFic/ThirtyHs\\\'\\\' is basically made of this trope. HarryPotter apparently TookALevelInBadass and is now able to fly through space on a meteor encased in \\\"holy fuckfire\\\", destroying entire planets on the way for no real reason.
* \\\'\\\'{{Shinji and Warhammer 40 K}}\\\'\\\':
--> \\\'\\\'\\\"PRESENTING! [[GodEmperor HIS EXCELLENCY]] [[MindScrew IKARI SHINJI]] THE FIRST! ALL HAIL!\\\"\\\'\\\'
FILM:
* \\\'\\\'TheExpendables\\\'\\\' will star SylvesterStallone, JasonStatham, [[TheForbiddenKingdom Jet Li]], [[WhiteChicks Terry Crews]], [[TheScorpionKing Randy Couture]], [[AngelHeart Mickey Rourke]], BruceWillis, ArnoldSchwarzenegger, [[HeManAndTheMastersOfTheUniverse Dolph Lundgren]], [[TheProphecy Eric Roberts]], and [[StoneColdSteveAustin Steve Austin]].
** And [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fncp0sQvBM0 this]] fan-made trailer for the film ended up playing this trope for all it\\\'s worth.
** Incidentally, SylvesterStallone [[http://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/entertainment/movies/sylvester-stallone-breaks-his-neck-filming-action-pic/story-e6frexli-1225816543666 broke his neck during filming.]]
** As well, it has Gary Daniels as a former member of the team who works for the movie\\\'s villains. That name may not sound like much, but he is best known for his role as [[FistOfTheNorthStar Ken]][[BadAss shi]][[YourHeadAsplode ro]] from the movie adaption of Fist of the North Star.
** It was also going to star JeanClaudeVanDamme, but Van Damme turned Stallone down when Stallone answered every question about what the movie was going to be about and what Van Damme\\\'s character was like by talking about how AWESOME the movie was going to be, who else was in it, and how great the action sequences are. Guess he\\\'s just not manly enough...
** \\\'\\\'The Expendables 2\\\'\\\'. Take the people named above, including Van Damme, and add in the very high potential for [[{{Platoon}} Charlie Sheen]], HulkHogan, MrT, [[{{Rocky}} Carl Weathers]], VinDiesel, DwayneJohnson, ChuckNorris, Lloyd Banks, Lorenzo Lamas, Jeff Speakman, and Olivier Gruner. Oh yeah, the shit just got \\\'\\\'real\\\'\\\'.
LITERATURE:
* John Ringo\\\'s \\\'\\\'Paladin of Shadows\\\'\\\' series. [[http://hradzka.livejournal.com/194753.html?format=light OH JOHN RINGO NO.]]
* \\\'\\\'Maxim\\\'\\\' in their articles. Except their [[UpMarketing ads and fashion section]] often seem more appropriate for \\\'\\\'GQ\\\'\\\'.
* John Norman\\\'s \\\'\\\'[[{{Gor}} Planet of Gor]]\\\'\\\' series. Tarl Cabot is the most insanely manly \\\'\\\'MarySue\\\'\\\' there ever was, living in a bondage fantasy fever dream. Sadly, this fantasy is played completely straight.
PROFESSIONAL WRESTLING:
* Any appearance at all by Randy \\\"Macho Man\\\" Savage.
VIDEO GAMES:
* Can you say, \\\'\\\'ChoAniki\\\'\\\'?
* [[FZero Captain]] [[MemeticBadass Falcon]]. He\\\'ll [[SuperSmashBros show you his moves]] any day.
** Really almost the entire cast fits into this. It helps they\\\'re based off of American Comic book heroes.
* The Soldier, of \\\'\\\'TeamFortress2.\\\'\\\' Proof? [[http://teamfortress.com/post.php?id=2663 Here]], [[http://teamfortress.com/post.php?id=2562 here]], and [[http://teamfortress.com/soldier.htm here.]]
** And let\\\'s not forget SAXTON HALE, whose company\\\'s motto is \\\"We sell products and get in fights\\\". He bears a suspicious resemblance to the above-mentioned Manly Man.
** See the [[http://www.teamfortress.com/war/saxtonhale/ comic]] for more info.
** The whole nation of Australia now runs on this thanks to Australium. They elect their king by fighting kangaroos and they are so manly even the women have enormous mustaches. The Sniper is apparently an anomaly amongst his people.
* \\\'\\\'DukeNukem\\\'\\\'.
* [[TheOneGuy Rinnosuke Morichika]] from {{Touhou}} is sometimes portrayed in {{fanon}} as the [[MusclesAreMeaningless muscular]], [[StockUnderwear fundoshi-clad]] \\\'\\\'\\\'\\\'\\\'[[FanNickname Man]]\\\'\\\'\\\'[[MemeticMutation nosuke]]\\\'\\\'.
** Even worse, [[http://en.touhouwiki.net/wiki/Wi-Z_GARAGE a doujin artist]] draws the \\\'\\\'female\\\'\\\' [[CuteWitch witch]] [[BadassNormal Marisa Kirisame]] as the [[strike:monstrous]] manly Cho-Marisa.
* The opening cinematic to \\\'\\\'[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=grBA4clVjDw Neo]] {{Contra}}\\\'\\\'.
WESTERN ANIMATION:
* Brock Samson of \\\'\\\'TheVentureBrothers\\\'\\\'. Voiced by PatrickWarburton. He also voices Joe Swanson of \\\'\\\'FamilyGuy\\\'\\\', another shining example of MANLINESS. Though... sometimes he loses that edge thanks to tasteless jokes about his paraplegia.
* \\\'\\\'KorgothOfBarbaria\\\'\\\' features the main character as an over the top parody of \\\'\\\'ConanTheBarbarian\\\'\\\' with an insatiable appetite for sex and [[MadeOfPlasticine brutally]] slaughtering his enemies.
* [[AvatarTheLastAirbender The Boulder]] insists on being listed on this trope, just for using his stage voice *everywhere he goes*.
