History Determinator / WesternAnimation

** Doofenshmirz also qualifies. Every scheme is either about taking over the [[TriCountyArea Tri-State Area]] or humiliating his brother and no matter how many times Perry the Platypus foils his schemes he keeps trying (with a few momentary successes).

* WesternAnimation/DonaldDuck himself.

** In the 19th episode of Season 2, "Emperor Stark", Purple manages to use his mind control powers on Tony to build him a satellite to amplify said powers, and we learn that Iron Man was still fighting him months later while Purple Man was right next to him. Cap may have written the first book on HeroicWillpower, but Tony wrote the sequel to it.

** [[Recap/StarWarsRebelsS3E19ZeroHour "Zero]] [[Recap/StarWarsRebelsS3E20ZeroHourPartII Hour"]] also has an example, but of a rather different nature, due to Kallus [[spoiler:having had a HeelFaceTurn]]. He gets into a fistfight with [[spoiler:Grand Admiral Thrawn]] after the latter reveals [[spoiler:he knows about Kallus being the ReverseMole]] and loses, but at no point during the entire brawl does he give in to [[spoiler:Thrawn's]] blows. [[spoiler:Thrawn]] even comments on Kallus' determination.

** When Bart was playing hooky, he destroyed a wooden bridge to stop Principal Skinner from following him. Skinner simply walks into the river, momentarily emerging at the other side.

** In the SeriesFinale, with no time to come up with a better plan, ''Batman'' keeps on coming after [[spoiler;[[PhysicalGod Darkseid]]]] with nothing more than his fists, feet, and utility belt, relentless even though the other tosses him away casually. After the last such attempt, irritation is evident.

-->'''[[spoiler:Darkseid]]:''' You still try to fight? (''tosses him thirty feet'') Can't you see that it's hopeless?
-->(''Franchise/{{Superman}} gives him a flying punch, then a right hook, and pins [[spoiler:Darkseid]] against the wall by the throat, one-handed'')

** [[HomeschooledKids Ezekiel]], who, after being kicked off first once more in the third season, managed to get back in the plane four times after [[{{Jerkass}} Chris]] tried to get rid of him, eventually becoming some sort of zombie. All to prove he was worthy of winning the season.
** Courtney. Never admits defeat, no matter what the cost...or the consequences.
** Tyler. He never gives up no matter how many times he fails at his athletic stunts.
** Gwen in "The Big Sleep" that is a testament to her exceptional willpower and Heather in "Hawaiian Punch", World Tour's final.
** Sierra. If it's for Cody's sake, She can do anything as defeat a shark.
** "Lightning never quits!". He still tries to win the challenge for his team in "Ice, Ice Baby" even after they already lost.

* Plankton of ''WesternAnimation/SpongebobSquarepants''. Day after day after day of failures and yet he never stops trying to steal the Krabby Patty secret recipe and drive his rival into the same level of success he lives in now.

** The Cutie Mark Crusaders. Sweet Celestia and Luna both, the Cutie Mark Crusaders. ''"[[EarWorm And we will never stop the journey, not until we have our Cutie Marks]]."''

* ''WesternAnimation/SheRaAndThePrincessesOfPower'': Even people like Adora who are no stranger to either stubbornness or bravery respect Glimmer's stubborn bravery. [[spoiler:In the fourth season, she makes a terrible mistake that nearly dooms everything, and even though all the other princesses are paralysed by the effects, Glimmer [[HeroicWillpower manages to force herself to her feet]] and drag herself to the nearest runestone in a desperate attempt to destroy it and fix her mistake.]]

* A villainous example in ''WesternAnimation/StarVsTheForcesOfEvil''. Ludo may be a cowardly, wimpy HarmlessVillain, but it's shown that he never quits no matter how many times he loses, or how badly he's beaten. In "Ludo In the Wild", it's the only reason he ''survives''.
-->'''Ludo''': Worried about me? Don't you get it? I lost my army, my kingdom, my clothes! And look...STILL STANDING!
