* In ''VideoGame/PuckOFF'' Dominator is the best player the world has ever seen. He's like Gretzky, a man everybody knows around the world.

** On the other side of that conflict, there's Adam Smasher, a corporate goon whose efficiency is only matched by his sadism and fetishistic interest in cybernetics. Jackie mentions his name alongside legendary edgerunners Morgan Blackhand and Weyland Boa-Boa, but also says that Smasher's legend is "a fucking bleak one". [[spoiler:V managing to [[DefeatingTheUndefeatable take him down]] is one of the things that secures their status as a Night City Legend in the above ending]].

* ''Anime/MyHeroAcademia''

* ''Franchise/{{Pokemon}}

* 'VideoGame/MetalGearSolid'',

* Vauban was a famous French civil engineer under UsefulNotes/LouisXIV and who was so competent at both sueging places and building forts there were reports of cities outright surrendering after they learnt they were to be sieged by Vauban while the new owners of a fortress put that it had been built by the master himself to deter and frighten any would-be sieger.

* In virtually every universe, Optimus Prime and Megatron are ''the'' [[LivingLegend living legends]]. There are sometimes others--Overlord, Arcee, Starscream, Grimlock--but they're more often notorious. Only Optimus and Megatron are universally respected [=and/or=] feared.

* The titular [[UnlikelyHero Reds and Blues]] become this, after they finally put an end to [[spoiler: Project Freelancer and The Director]] in season ten of ''Machinima/RedVsBlue''.

* In ''Film/TheMartian'', this becomes [[spoiler: Mark]]'s status with students acknowledging them as such and saying it was an honor to meet them.

Some people become famous. They're well known, even if not very much is known about them. The Living Legend [[FamedInStory attained fame]] during his life (as opposed to posthumously).

** On the other side of that conflict, there's Adam Smasher, an edgerunner whose efficiency is only matched by his sadism and fetishistic interest in cybernetics. Jackie mentions his name alongside legendary edgerunners Morgan Blackhand and Weyland Boa-Boa, but also says that Smasher's legend is "a fucking bleak one".

* Men's singles figure skating had Yuzuru Hanyu. Wikipedia has [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_career_achievements_by_Yuzuru_Hanyu a staggering list of his professional achievements.]] Podiums and national teams have changed since his senior debut in 2010, but Hanyu remains a constant face as of 2021, still on top of his form despite various (repeated) injuries (that have [[CareerEndingInjury ended others' careers]]) and severe asthma. His second consecutive Olympic medal (2018 Pyeongchang) was won with his ''Seimei'' routine on a reinjured ankle and painkillers. He is also a survivor of the 2011 Tohoku earthquake and tsunami. His aim at this time of writing is to land the quadruple axel, a difficult jump that might be BeyondTheImpossible. His competitors have spoken about the "psychological warfare" of skating right after Hanyu, because he is guaranteed to turn in such a good performance that the next skater would have a tough act to follow, not to mention the rain of Franchise/WinnieThePooh bears that typically ensues. There have been [[https://twitter.com/axelsandwich/status/1177210512691494912 multiple direct tributes]] by younger athletes even before he retired (or rather, transitioned from amateur to professional skating, as he doesn't like the word "retire"). He's committed to continuing his skating career and achieving greater heights in his art/sport as a professional, unbound by competition rules.

* In the ''VideoGame/LeagueOfLegends'' [[UsefulNotes/ProfessionalGaming esports scene]], one name towers above all others- Korean icon of the midlane Lee "Faker" Sang-hyeok, [[RedBaron "the Unkillable Demon King"]]. First appearing practically out of nowhere like a comet in 2013's Season 3, he slaughtered all who opposed him to lead the team to the world championship, kicking off the era of Korean dominance, and almost a decade later is not only still a potent presence in a sport where careers rarely last more than 5-6 years, but is still the face of the same team he debuted on[[note]]give or take a rebrand from SK Telecom to T1[[/note]]. The only 3x World Championship winner[[note]]the only other player able to claim this is his own teammate Bengi, known as "the Right Hand of God" for his bond with Faker[[/note]], 2x Mid-Season Invitational winner, ''10x'' LCK Champion, with more pro-league wins than any other player in the LCK (the first to 500 wins, leading the next-closest competitor by well over 100). No player has ever [[TheDreaded inspired more dread]] across Summoner's Rift than Faker, and even if you can't definitively say that he's still the best player in the world, it's generally accepted that he is and will forever be the greatest player ''[=LoL=]'' has ever seen (the vice-president of Riot once described him as the UsefulNotes/MichaelJordan of ''[=LoL=]'' at a press conference).

** Mr. Satan is a FakeUltimateHero version. To the people of Earth, he is their greatest hero and champion. He fought and defeated Cell and the demon Majin Buu. None of this is, of course, true. He shamelessly took credit for beating Cell after Gohan beat him. He did help with Buu, although it was Goku who gave the killing blow. He's so renowned, he gets military support with a phone call, have a city renamed after him, and the first person called when things go wrong.

* In ''Manga/NegimaMagisterNegiMagi'' Jack Rakan is a living legend able to destroy pocket dimensions by flexing as well as willing himself back into existence. Negi's father, Nagi "The Thousand Master" Springfield is also this by virtue of being the strongest mage around and saving the Magic World at least once.

* ''Manga/OnePiece'':
** There are several powerful pirates who fit in this category, most notably Silvers Rayleigh, the Number Two of Gold Roger himself.
** The Marines have Garp and arguably Sengoku. It says something that Garp revealing that he's actually going to take part in a battle is one of the few things that actually made [[BadassArmy the Whitebeard Pirates]] hesitate. It's especially telling when their own captain, Whitebeard himself, also fits the bill, having been considered the only man to equal Gold Roger in sheer fight prowess and the current WorldsStrongestMan.
** The Straw Hats as a group have reached this status by the time they enter the New World, with other pirates being fearful and awestruck by them.

* Gin from ''Anime/GingaDensetsuWeed'' as the [[AnyOneCanDie surviving]] [[Anime/GingaNagareboshiGin previous main character]], the dog grew up into killing the nigh invincible killer bear Akakabuto, saving human villages from being terrorized by it and providing fellow wild dogs a peaceful homeland. Weed himself grows into one by the ending.
* In ''Manga/Classi9'', most of the cast is renown across the world for their talent and [[ChildProdigy precocity]], but the [[RedBaron Wunderkind]] Mozartand the [[RedBaron Master Musician]] Beethoven have a mythical status. Mozart became somewhat ShroudedInMyth after he stopped playing publically and Beethoven's magnificent work despite his [[DeafComposer hearing loss]] made him an international icon, so much he was impersonated by an imposter at least twice.
* ''Anime/DragonBallZ'':
** Mr. Satan is a FakeUltimateHero version. To the people of Earth, he is their greatest hero and champion. He fought and defeated Cell and the demon Majin Buu. None of this is, of course, true. He shamelessly took credit for beating Cell after Gohan beat him. He did help with Buu, although it was Goku who gave the killing blow. He's so renowned, he gets military support with a phone call, have a city renamed after him, and the first person called when things go wrong.
** Goku zig-zags this. On Earth, he is well known within the martial arts community. He is a champion of the World Martial Arts Tournament and two-time runner-up in legendary matches. Among some, he is known as the person who killed King Piccolo. However, Goku isn't well known by the general population thanks to him wanting no credit for his work and Mr. Satan stealing any he may gained. In the universe at large, he's much more well known. He's known as the Super Saiyan and is [[TheDreaded feared for defeating Frieza and Majin Buu]]. [[TopGod Even the Supreme Kai knew who he is]].
** Master Roshi. When he was introduced, he was revered as the God of Martial Arts and [[WorldsStrongestMan The Strongest Man In The World]].
** Roshi's rival, the Crane Hermit, is also well known within the martial's community. He is seen as the former's equal.
* Kenshin, or rather his wartime alias of Hitokiri Battousai from ''Manga/RurouniKenshin''. He's a legendary swordsman who is considered the best in all of Japan. He is ShroudedInMyth and no one knows what he really looks like outside his 'X' scar on his cheek and flaming red hair. However, after most people who don't know that Kenshin Himura is the Hitokiri Battousai would not associate such a notorious figure from the revolution with Kaoru's goofy odd-job guy.

* ''Anime/MyHeroAcademia'''s All Might is the number one superhero in Japan, possibly the world - an impressive feat in a world where EveryoneIsASuper - is known as "The Symbol of Peace" and has radically changed Japan's society, eliminating crime almost completely. All the other superheroes and villains either look up to him or [[GreenEyedMonster are driven mad with jealousy]]. However, all the other most popular superheroes are this to a lesser degree.
** ''Manga/MyHero2008'' had the superhero Positive in this role. [[spoiler:However, after a traumatic event nearly breaks him, he reinvents himself as "Snipe" and actively denigrates his older identity. It's only after an old fan of his discovers the truth that he eventually comes to terms with himself and returns as Positive once more.]]
* Thorkell "The Tall" is this in ''Manga/VinlandSaga'', being renown throughout Scandinavia and the Danelaw for being the WorldsStrongestMan. The Danish army has a collective OhCrap moment when they're being told that he's decided to fight for the underdog English because VictoryIsBoring, and [[spoiler:having beaten Thorkell in a duel gives main character Thorfinn enough cred to have him saddled with the nickname "Karlsefni" (roughly translated as "Man of great skill") and Thorkell's allegiance grants Canute a huge legitimacy boost in standing up to his father.]]

* It would be quicker and easier to list superheroes who are ''aversions'' of this trope. So many are famous in their respective universes that it's almost superfluous to list them. A special mention should be made, however, for characters such as Franchise/{{Superman}}, ComicBook/CaptainAmerica, Franchise/{{Batman}}, and the ComicBook/JusticeSocietyOfAmerica, who are famous even amongst the other heroes.
** The DC maxi-series ''ComicBook/{{Trinity}}'' showed people breathe a sigh of relief when they're in trouble and the Justice League shows up. The Justice League cheers when they're in trouble and Franchise/{{Superman}}, Franchise/{{Batman}}, and Franchise/WonderWoman show up.
** It has been implied by time-traveler characters such as Cable that Franchise/SpiderMan will become one of these.
* V, the titular protagonist from ''ComicBook/VForVendetta'', deliberately invokes this in order to bring down the Norsefire government.
* ''ComicBook/{{Watchmen}}'' deconstructs this and explores both the positive and negative effects of Living Legends, particularly the dehumanizing and demoralizing presence of Doctor Manhattan.

* Film/JamesBond: Villains often happen to know of Bond's [[TheAce absolute badass]] reputation, though some will always {{underestimat|ing badassery}}e him and think he can't live up to it. Some villainesses also know of his [[TheCasanova reputation]] [[ReallyGetsAround with the ladies]] and their reactions to it vary.

* The title character of ''Film/YouDontMessWithTheZohan'', at least in Israel and Palestine.
* The eponymous hero of Creator/RobertZemeckis' ''WesternAnimation/{{Beowulf|2007}}'' turns into this in the latter half of the movie. At the same time he has aspects of NoHeroToHisValet. And a small touch of MilesGloriosus, as he likes to exaggerate his prowess.
%%* "[[Film/IronMan1 I am Iron Man.]]"
* By the end of ''Film/ArmyOfDarkness'', Ash (housewares) has achieved legendary status, so he claims, among the people of [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mercia Mercia.]] They wanted to make him king. In his own way, he is king.
* ''Film/ElMariachi''. "We call him 'El'. It means 'The'."

* Film/DieHard gives us John [=McClane=]. In the second film (Die Harder), he's recognized by a rogue special ops officer for his interview on ''Nightline''. In the third, a fed makes an immediate connection between the Villain Du Jour and "the thing in LA". In the fourth... he's John [=McClane=], the Irish flatfoot who throws cars at helicopters when he runs out of bullets.
* "People are always asking me if I know [[Film/FightClub Tyler Durden]]"
* In ''Film/{{The Avengers|2012}}'', ComicBook/CaptainAmerica[=/=]Steve Rogers was already well-known in in the 1940s. But after being presumed dead, he wake up almost seventy years later as a living legend, literally. ComicBook/IronMan[=/=]Tony Stark later remarks to Loki that Captain America is "a living legend who actually lives up to the legend".
* In ''Film/TheMartian'', this becomes [[spoiler: Mark]]'s status with students acknowledging them as such and saying it was an honor to meet them.

* ''Franchise/JohnWick'' is an assassin so [[TheDreaded dreaded]] among the criminal underworld, TheDon acts as if his son pissing John off is practically a death sentence. Because it ''is''.
* Luke Skywalker in the Disney ''Franchise/StarWars'' films is this starting with ''Film/TheForceAwakens'' [[spoiler:up until his death at the end of ''Film/TheLastJedi'']]. There are those that even believe that he really is ''just'' a legend, and not someone who actually exists. Rey, the main protagonist of this sequel trilogy is among these until she ends up learning of a map to him in ''The Force Awakens'' and then ends up ''meeting'' him at the end of it, having followed the map. Skywalker, himself, is not happy, as he believes that the Jedi need to end.
-->'''Skywalker''': It was a Jedi Master who was responsible for the training and creation of Darth Vader.
-->'''Rey''': And a Jedi who saved him. Yes. Your father was the most hated man in the galaxy. He caused so much death and destruction for many years. But you saw there was conflict inside him. You believed that he wasn't gone. That he could be turned.
-->'''Skywalker''': And I became a ''legend''. For many years, there was balance and then I saw Ben. My nephew with that mighty Skywalker blood. In my hubris, I thought I could train him...
* ''Film/AllAboutEve'': Margo Channing got her start at the age of four playing a fairy in ''A Midsummer Night's Dream''. She entered stark naked and has been a legend ever since.
* In ''Film/ShredderOrpheus'', after being the only living person to perform on PTR and make it back, Orpheus becomes famous among the Grey Zone.

* ''Literature/{{Discworld}}'' has its own page.
* Rob in ''Literature/AnOutcastInAnotherWorld'' starts to become one [[spoiler:after standing up to The Blight and surviving]]. People that shunned him before even start to respect and/or suck up to him, which – while an objective improvement to his previous situation - leaves a bitter taste in his mouth.
* Orson Gregory in ''Literature/TheDreamsideRoad'' is famous for his role in defeating [[GreatOffscreenWar Thunderworks]]. Even strangers he encounters at the [[AttackOfTheTownFestival Wintertide Festival]] recognize him or his [[FlamingSword signature weaponry]].
* ''Literature/TheHitchhikersGuideToTheGalaxy'':
** Galactic President Zaphod Beeblebrox is quite well known. Not necessarily for good things. He ''is'' [[TakeThat a politician]], after all.
** The Guide notes that towels (in addition to several legitimate uses) let you cultivate this image: if you can hitch the length and breadth of the galaxy and still know where your towel is, then ''obviously'' you're a badass, and others will think nothing of loaning you some other minor item that you [[BlatantLies happened to recently misplace]].
* Kit Carson, of Robert Asprin's ''Literature/TimeScout'' series. He was one of the very first men to take up the incredibly dangerous profession of stepping through a time portal to find out what's on the other side.

* Hunter of Creator/NeilGaiman's ''Literature/{{Neverwhere}}''. She's [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin hunted down]] and killed incredibly deadly, legendary animals all over the world.
* Richard Cypher, of the ''Literature/SwordOfTruth'' series is a LivingLegend first among the people of D'Hara, then the midlands and Westlands, then the old world.

** In a similar fashion, Kennet, would-be King of the Pirate Isles, is well known among the isles as a particularly capable and professional pirate. Then he gains more and more fame and love for targeting slavers.
*** His reputation passes to his woman, erstwhile whore Etta and later Queen of the Pirate Isles, and his ward, Wintrow, their philosopher King.

* Several characters in the ''[[Literature/TheWheelOfTime Wheel of Time]]'' series. Rand, Perrin, and Mat are most easily justified, what with being [[WindsOfDestinyChange ta'veren]].

* Quite a few from the various ''Literature/{{Dragonlance}}'' books.
** Raistlin almost became a god.
** Huma was famed for his exploits and piety even before his HeroicSacrifice, though he became ShroudedInMyth eons later.
** Most of the main characters from the original Chronicles trilogy are referred to as "The Heroes of the Lance" in the later books and everyone seems to know their stories.
** Laurana became famous on both sides as the [[RedBaron Golden General]] due to her miraculous rout of the evil army at the High Clerist's Tower and the repeated victories she won against numerically superior enemy armies during the Vingaard Campaign.
* Sparrowhawk from ''Literature/AWizardOfEarthsea''.
* ''Literature/AubreyMaturin:'' Both Captain Jack Aubrey and Doctor Stephen Maturin become famous, though for very different things. Jack is famous throughout the navy as Lucky Jack for his martial exploits and later gains some renown for his work in mathematics and astronomy. Stephen is a very admired physician and biologist before he becomes a MagnificentBastard in the intelligence community.
* The ''Literature/{{Discworld}}'', running as it does on the TheoryOfNarrativeCausality, has a number of these.
** Granny Weatherwax, whose name among the trolls is Aaoograha hoa ("She Who Must Be Avoided") and among the dwarfs is K'ez'rek d'b'duz ("Go Around the Other Side of the Mountain"). She has taught respect to vampires and elves as well.
** His Grace, His Excellency, The Duke of Ankh, Commander Sir Samuel Vimes is known throughout his city as [[IncorruptiblePurePureness scrupulously honest]] and a man who, when upset, tends to spread his discontent around with a '''big''' shovel. The criminal element actively tries not to piss him off. So well known for inventing the first capable and honest police force of the city of Ankh-Morpork that cops throughout the plains are known as Sammies.
** Similarly, Captain Carrot Ironfoundersson, the rightful heir to the throne of Ankh-Morpork (who just happens to like being a guard). His charisma is so strong it warps reality. Also, he has a punch that trolls respect.
** Rincewind (a Wizzard) is famous among some communities for his ability to run away from ''anything''. And scream in 27 languages. He's also saved the Disc multiple times when running was no longer an option. At one point, when two head wizards almost go nuclear, another realizes that the last time that happened, the Disc was almost destroyed and Rincewind stopped it with a half-brick in a sock. He looks around and sees Rincewind putting his sock back on.
** [[LittleMissBadass Tiffany Aching]] is rapidly building herself a fearsome reputation.
** Sergeant Jackrum of the Borogravian army has fought in every single war for forty years. The Sergeant knows everyone. Everyone knows the Sergeant. The Sergeant's reputation is such that generals will leave at the Sergeant's request.
** When talking to [[PunnyName Cohen the Barbarian]], Rincewind says, "My grandfather used to tell me stories about you when I sat on his kne... Oh."
* Literature/HarryPotter, who had a nickname, the Boy Who Lived, by the time he was ''one''. Also, Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore, who was gaining a reputation in his youth, even before things like his defeat of the Dark Wizard Grindelwald. In a very negative way, Tom Riddle, AKA Lord Voldemort, has such a fearsome reputation that no one will even say his name.
** Also, Gilderoy Lockhart. At least in fame, as [[FakeUltimateHero his skills aren't exactly good]]...
* ''Literature/SnowCrash'': Raven -- He's a one man nation with a nuclear bomb keyed to his heartbeat and an AbsurdlySharpBlade.
* ''Literature/MemorySorrowAndThorn:'' Seoman Snowlock begins life as an orphan, adopted into the life of a scullion known only for mischief and day-dreamery. Then he... let's just say that fighting a dragon with an incredibly magic sword is among the ''least'' of what he becomes known for. When he learns that he's the descendant of, simultaneously, a king and a saint and thus one of the strongest candidates for the throne in the world (there's a princess available, but her father was kind of a douche), someone says that even if that ''weren't'' true, he'd be tempted to make it up. Not only would it be believed, but Seoman's incredibly beloved.
* ''Literature/MrsSmithsSpySchoolForGirls'': [[TheProtagonist Abigail Hunter]]'s mother, Jennifer, is considered to be the best agent the Center ever had. She hears it quite a bit from other agents.
* ''Literature/TailchasersSong:'' Fritti Tailchaser helped fight off Cat Satan. He's as much a hero as cats can have. Grizraz (Cat Satan) and Lord Firefoot (CrystalDragonJesus) are immortal and feared/beloved, and ShroudedInMyth.
* There's no evidence that ''Franchise/StarWars'' hero Luke Skywalker is anything but a war hero in the movies, prior to the Disney releases, but in the [[Franchise/StarWarsExpandedUniverse Expanded Universe]] his reputation is a bit more than that. In Literature/TheThrawnTrilogy, he's recognizable such that, when a random fight's about to break out in a bar, everyone looks to him, even the two about to fight, to settle it, based on nothing more than his reputation as a Jedi Knight. He steps up, everyone accepts his judgment, the day is saved. See the film section above for his status in the sequel trilogy released by Disney.
** Similarly, to be made a Grand Admiral of the Empire requires that you be above and beyond normal military talents. When people find themselves pitted against a Grand Admiral, the result is usually despair. And then there was that brief time you could learn you were coming up against Grand Admiral Thrawn and [[OhCrap know exactly what that meant...]]
* Literature/CiaphasCain, Hero of the Imperium! Much to his regret, as he keeps getting sent into danger with people expecting him to pull off some crazy scheme when he would rather just [[DirtyCoward run and hide]] ([[UnreliableNarrator So he claims, anyway]]).
* Skeeve of ''Literature/MythAdventures'' is an OnlyOneName thief who ran away from his father's farm, only to become a widely renowned magician, somewhat feared across the dimensions.
* Duke Alaric Morgan in the ''Literature/{{Deryni}}'' works. He helped King Brion Haldane defeat a Festillic Pretender at age 14, and rose to become Lord General of Gwynedd's armies. Although {{prequel}}s are either published or in process, he was introduced as a LivingLegend when he first appeared in Deryni Rising in 1970. Indeed, he is depicted as [[ShroudedInMyth cultivating a reputation]] for dangerous power as a means of intimidating potential foes and thereby protecting himself.
* Kvothe from ''Literature/TheKingkillerChronicle'' books. This is partly because he's genuinely special (a natural magician with eidetic recall and a talent for Naming), partly because his quest puts him in situations that just happen to be legend-building status, and partly as a reputation he's deliberately cultivated.
** Also the yet-to-be-seen Oren Velciter from the same books.
* In a rare example, AmnesiacHero Caeden from ''Literature/TheLicaniusTrilogy'' is a living legend as [[spoiler: BigBad Aarkein Devaed]], though he doesn't know it yet. Once he finds out, he wisely keeps it a secret.
* ''Literature/HereticsOfDune''. Miles Teg had such an reputation as a military leader for the Bene Gesserit that he was once able to ToWinWithoutFighting.
-->Teg's reputation was an almost universal thing throughout human society of this age. At the Battle of Markon, it had been enough for the enemy to know that Teg was there opposite them in person. They sued for terms.
* Works from and about the ''Literature/RomanceOfTheThreeKingdoms'' period of Chinese history like to portray particularly skillful generals this way. One was trapped in a town with inadequate forces. Rather than run away he sat at the gates playing chess with his forces clearly standing down. The enemy saw him and, knowing his reputation for absolute guile, decided he was planning something and [[ToWinWithoutFighting ran away instead]].
* [[Literature/AtlasShrugged Who is John Galt?]]
* When Marasi from ''Literature/TheAlloyOfLaw'' meets Wax (and to a lesser extent, Wayne), she is almost starstruck, telling him that he's a legend [[MundaneMadeAwesome at least in criminology circles, anyway.]]
* In Creator/MichaelFlynn's ''[[Literature/SpiralArm Up Jim River]]'', when Zorba, the greatest of the Hounds, appears, the harper is not afraid of her HonoraryUncle, but the Fudir is of his legendary status.
* Axis [=SunSoar=] from Literature/TheWayfarerRedemption as the legendary [=StarMan=] who recreated Tencendor and saved it from Gorgeal the Destroyer. He then dies and is resurrected in Literature/TheDarkglassMountainTrilogy and is this in spades, no matter which part of the world he's in.
* Inda of the ''{{Literature/Inda}}'' series attains this status for his prowess in fighting pirates and later his success in fighting the Venn who are invading his homeland. He's so famous as a commander that midway through the fourth book a coalition of kingdoms and trading ports choose a delegate to go beg him to help save them from the Venn, who are threatening to take over the strait that separates the two continents of Sartorias Deles.
* Literature/HonorHarrington by the end of her first book is on her way to LivingLegend status among the good officers of the Royal Manticoran Navy. At the end of the second book, she's achieved this for the planet of Grayson. Her growing fame to the civilian population of Manticore is mentioned in the next several books but explodes after she apparently returns from the dead after leading [[GreatEscape the largest prison break in human history]]. That event also cements her reputation among the Havenites as well.
* In ''Literature/TheDinosaurLords'', Karyl Bogomirskiy is known throughout the continent as the best dinosaur commander there is, and his ShroudedInMyth past, as well as deeds of his adulthood, are already subjects of many a song and poem. It gets to the point that even the enemy dinosaur masters have moments of fanboy glee upon seeing him, and his own employers try to have him assassinated for fear of the following he's developing.
* Alanna becomes this in the ''Literature/TortallUniverse''. She is well on the way there in her own story, ''Literature/SongOfTheLioness''. She is a powerful mage, an expert swordswoman, the instrument of the Great Mother Goddess, and the first female knight in Tortall for over a century. Her deeds include purging an ancient city of demons, curing a MysticalPlague, exposing a traitor and would-be usurper to the throne, and bringing the [[AmplifierArtifact Dominion Jewel]] back from faraway lands. Girls in Tortall and even other countries want to hear stories about her. The downside, as Alanna herself notes, is that it's hard to inspire anyone to actually follow in her footsteps when she's so legendary. She's very pleased that the second girl to try for knighthood, Keladry of Mindelan, is a BadassNormal through-and-through because ordinary girls can actually see themselves in her.
* ''Literature/TheVaginaAssOfLuciferNiggerbastard'': Lucifer is regarded as a legend by those who read the Prophecy Of The Vagina Ass.
** Griswalda does not, as he was more of a fairy godfather to Lucifer.
** Turnus also does not, because he is the antagonist.
* Geralt of Rivia: Franchise/TheWitcher.
* In ''Literature/MidnightRobber by Nalo Hopkinson: After the death of her father, Tan-Tan is on the run, and turns to robbery, partly inspired by the childhood tales she used to hear of the great Robber King back on her home world of Toussaint. Soon, she begins to hear ''wildly'' exaggerated stories of herself. Apparently, the people of New Half-Way Tree were desperate for some legends to call their own, and are not at all ashamed to embellish events for the sake of a good story.
* In military thriller ''Literature/{{Victoria}}'', Captain John Rumford becomes one in right-wing circles for his brave (or at least perceived as such) anti-PC behavior and dismissal from the Corps--And then in a more traditionally heroic manner for his military leadership in the civil war and beyond.
* In ''Literature/WarriorCats'', Graystripe becomes this by the time of the third arc, as he was the [=ThunderClan=] deputy who played a part in helping save all the Clans through his life, and as far as the Clans knew, sacrificed himself to save others from capture by Twolegs. When he finds his way back to the Clans in ''The Sight'', Hollypaw is amazed at how all four Clans welcome him home with equal warmth. When everyone's crowding around him and Leafpool tells them to give him space, Hazelpaw even protests, "But he's a legend!"

* ''Series/BurnNotice:'' Michael Westen is an Urban Legend throughout Russia. Several groups consider the name Michael Westen to be a codename for a team of operatives. In another episode some Russian gangsters find out who's after them, "He's Michael Westen! There are only four of us!"
* In ''Series/{{Chuck}}'' the title character was given the name Charles Carmichael to protect his identity. By the third season Carmichael was known throughout the spy community as an exceptionally dangerous spy.
* In ''Series/{{Heroes}}'', Hiro Nakamura goes to medieval Japan to meet his hero, Takezo Kensei. Hiro then does everything he can to make Takezo live up to the legends about him, making him into the legend Hiro [[TimeTravelTenseTrouble willen haven onen learned]] about.
* ''Series/DoctorWho:'' The Doctor. Some love him, some hate him but he's known throughout the universe. River mentions that he can make an army turn and run at the mere mention of his name and it has been shown that she was not exaggerating.
* ''Series/{{Firefly}}:'' Jaaayne, the man they call Jaaayne. Jayne became an Accidental Hero for a village of mudders. Their worship was boundless. He kind of cherished his position, yet he did not abuse it.
--> '''Jayne:''' Eggs! The LivingLegend needs eggs!
* ''Series/BattlestarGalactica1978'': In the episode "The Living Legend", the Galactica encounters the battlestar Pegasus, whose captain is the Colonial military legend Commander Cain.
* ''Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer'': Angelus and Spike are both legendary, and are known as two of the worst recorded vampires in history. Angelus became known for his sadistic nature and fondness for torture, whereas Spike became known for killing two slayers.

* ''Series/WhiteCollar'':
** Neal Caffrey is such a capable thief and ConMan that there's an entire unit on his ''[[InsistentTerminology alleged]]'' crimes in a college criminology class. When he shows up in person, the students and professor all squee, just a bit.
** Mozzie became an UrbanLegend by accident. He was so smart that, as a kid, he hired a man to be the face of his book-making operation, the Dentist of Detroit. The operation got pushed out by TheMafia, but the Dentist lived on.
* There are hints that the crew of the ''Enterprise'', and the ship herself, are considered this in ''Series/StarTrekTheOriginalSeries''. Kirk is certainly a notorious figure among the Klingons, as demonstrated in "Errand of Mercy" (where Kor already knows him by reputation) and "The Trouble with Tribbles" (where even the trash-talking Korax has to give Kirk his due, albeit as a "tin-plated dictator with delusions of godhood"); and Spock, despite being only half-Vulcan, is explicitly described in the episode "[[Recap/StarTrekS2E1AmokTime Amok Time]]" as "a legend among our people" by his mate T'Pring. This is very prominent in the movies as well, particularly ''Film/StarTrekIVTheVoyageHome'' and ''Film/StarTrekVITheUndiscoveredCountry''.

* Andros and the other [[Series/PowerRangersInSpace Space Rangers]] are this, demonstrated by "[[Series/PowerRangersLostGalaxy To the Tenth Power]]" ("You're Andros, the Red Ranger!"). Tommy Oliver and Jason Lee Scott are this at least among Rangers (since they kept their identities secret) in "[[Series/PowerRangersWildForce Forever]] [[ReunionShow R]][[MilestoneCelebration ed]]". Cole in particular goes fanboy over Jason.
** By the time of ''Series/PowerRangersDinoThunder'', Tommy's reputation has surpassed ''Jason's'', due to having been four colors (green, white, red, ''and'' black), and having been leader of three teams of rangers. Both in and out-of-universe, he is considered the "Greatest Ranger Ever" and for good reason.
* In an episode of ''Series/FallingSkies'', Col. Porter tells Tom Mason that he is quickly becoming one.
* Most of the main cast of ''Series/PersonOfInterest'' are something of one. Harold and Root are still well known and looked up to in the hacker community(though of course these people don't know their real names), John is known as an UrbanLegend called 'The Man in the Suit' by the police, and Shaw is something of one for the ISA, with its operatives believing that no one could survive what she has.
* John Sheridan in ''Series/BabylonFive'' is one, being not only the one human captain who won a battle against the Minbari but managed to ''blow up their flagship''. Humans consider him a hero, while the Minbari call him [[TheButcher Starkiller]].
* ''Series/HoratioHornblower'': Some naval captains receive this treatment, and more often than not, it causes problems.
** Captain "Dreadnought" Foster is ultra-famous and lots of people aboard the "Indy" admire him immensely, young Horatio included. Many sailors try to serve and indulge him, giving him blankets so that he can dry himself and alcohol to warm himself up. Pellew is reluctant to join in heaping praise on him and doesn't like that Horatio glorifies him. Hornblower's admiration for Foster is dashed when Foster insists on taking meat from a supply ship under Hornblower's command, which is still under quarantine for plague. Foster becomes a BrokenPedestal for him.
** Captain Sawyer's one of Nelson's own and a national hero who distinguished himself at the Battle of Nile. He's also completely [[InsaneAdmiral insane]]. Because of his reputation, Horblower and especially Mr Bush realize much later than they otherwise would have that he's unable to command and try to act for the good of the ship, which means TheMutiny. In addition, if Sawyer hadn't been a Living Legend, the court-martial could have been a mere formality or the jury wouldn't have been so hard-ass on the lieutenants. But since they felt they had to preserve Sawyer's reputation, they were looking for a scapegoat.

* Wrestling/BrunoSammartino was called "The Living Legend." Larry Zbyszko appropriated the name as "The New Living Legend" during a feud.
** Zbyszko would later attempt to sue Wrestling/ChrisJericho, who had also appropriated the nickname. This did not go well for him.

* As appropriate for the setting, TabletopGame/BattleTech features numerous characters who were legends in their eras: Morgan Kell, Natasha Kerensky AKA The Black Widow, Victor Steiner-Davion, Kai Allard-Liao, and Aleksander Kerensky were all legendary characters known for their skill (and in Natasha's case, being a sex icon) when they were alive.

* ''VideoGame/EXTRAPOWERGiantFist'': Zophy is nearly universally recognized for his great hero status, with characters like Wolf and Figma eager to test their strength against his legendary fighting prowess, and Japanese student Miku quickly learning about his heart of justice.
* ''[[VideoGame/FatalFury Fatal Fury's]]'' [[{{Eagleland}} Terry]] [[GratuitousEnglish Bogard]] is well known on the streets of South Town, where he achieved his status by defeating Geese Howard. He went on to make a name for himself in the rest of the world, by facing even tougher opponents such as [[NobleDemon Wolfgang]] [[BloodKnight Krauser]], [[EnfantTerrible the Jin Twins]], and Kain. Which has earned him such distinctions as: [[RedBaron "The Legendary Lone Wolf"]] and [[BloodKnight "Hungry Wolf Bogard".]]
* Snake from ''VideoGame/MetalGearSolid'', although he doesn't think himself as one.
** Also in the ''VideoGame/MetalGear'' series, there is "The Boss" the Legendary Soldier that definitively won World War 2, "Big Boss" the Legendary Mercenary who ended up establishing the general political atmosphere of the Cold War Era, and Solid Snake's own title was the "Legendary Hero" for defeating countless rogue terrorist cells among others. When they were still alive, utmost respect, fear, and admiration is giving to them until they were succeeded by the next Living Legend.
* Dante in ''VideoGame/DevilMayCry'' is known as the Legendary Devil Hunter starting some time after the [[VideoGame/DevilMayCry1 original game]]. He takes after his father, Sparda, who was known as the Legendary Dark Knight in his glory days.
* By the end of any of the ''VideoGame/{{Fallout}}'' games, the hero will have altered the face of whatever wasteland he/she happens to inhabit, for better or for worse.
** This is discussed in ''VideoGame/FalloutNewVegas'' in the Lonesome Road DLC in regards to Legate Lanius. According to Ulysses, Lanius' greatest weapon is his personal legacy as an indomitable warlord feared both by the NCR and the Legion, with Caesar going out of his way to make him more mysterious (thus justifying [[MultipleChoicePast the conflicting details of his past]]). However, this also means that Lanius is deeply afraid of defeat since [[SlaveToPR a single loss will damage his reputation]], meaning that by sowing doubt within his mind [[TalkingTheMonsterToDeath he can be convinced to retreat]].

* The many incarnations of ''VideoGame/PlanescapeTorment'''s the Nameless One have had and deserved every kind of reputation.
* ''VideoGame/HalfLife:'' The Free Man - Opener Of The Way, Gordon Freeman. Started a revolution in ''VideoGame/HalfLife2'' just by showing up.
* ''VideoGame/HeavyMetalFAKK2'': Julie - She Who Slays Gods. Well deserved as she [[spoiler:put an end to Tyler's ravage across the galaxy]] in the [[WesternAnimation/HeavyMetal2000 animated movie prequel]].
* Many characters of the ''Franchise/StarWars'' video games have reputations.
** ''VideoGame/KnightsOfTheOldRepublic'': Malik, Bastila, the PC. Revan at first seems to be the regular dead sort of legend... [[spoiler: and then you find out ''you'' are Revan]].
** ''VideoGame/KnightsOfTheOldRepublicIITheSithLords'': The Exile, hero of the Mandalorian Wars.
** In the MMO SpiritualSequel, ''VideoGame/StarWarsTheOldRepublic'', the player character for most classes can become this. As you progress through the game, more and more {{NPC}}s express awe at meeting you. This is particularly noticeable with the Republic Trooper, who for most of the game is the commanding officer of an already-legendary Spacial Forces squad.
* ''VideoGame/StarCraft'' has a number of war heroes who grow to legendary reputation during the games.
** Jim Raynor, one of the few to be known by all three races: By the zerg as an old associate of the Queen of Blades (now turned dangerous foe), by the Terrans as one of Mengsk's most valuable allies once, now turned infamous rebel leader, and by the Protoss as the human that helped Tassadar bring down the Overmind. The latter is particularly valuable, as he's essentially the only human the Protoss properly respect.
** Artanis grows into one over the course of ''VideoGame/StarCraftIILegacyOfTheVoid''. [[spoiler:He saves Nerazim Protoss from the extermination, protects Terrans on Korhal, allies with Tal'darim and Purifiers and reintegrates them into Protoss society, reclaims his homeworld and ultimately leads all three races into the Void to destroy Amon once and for good.]] It ultimately reaches the point where multiple Protoss cry "En taro Artanis"[[note]]"In honor of Artanis", a saying in their language[[/note]], something reserved for the greatest heroes of their race - and Artanis is the only living Protoss to be honored this way.

* In ''VideoGame/PokemonBlack2AndWhite2'', Sabrina (the former Saffron City Gym Leader from the original ''VideoGame/PokemonRedAndBlue'') has started an acting career and has become quite a celebrity in Unova because of it. A lot of people at [=PokeStar=] Studios admire her, and a guy at the PWT calls her "Queen Sabrina".
** Another ''Franchise/{{Pokemon}}'' example: Red certainly qualifies, as by the time of Generation II he has earned admiration throughout the land for single-handedly defeating Team Rocket and becoming the Champion of Kanto. In ''VideoGame/PokemonMasters'', his Sync Move is literally "Living Legend Blast Burn."
* ''Franchise/{{Halo}}'':
** The [[SuperSoldier Spartan-IIs]] as a whole can be considered this (the few who are still alive, anyways); the ''VideoGame/HaloWars'' manual even describes them as "A walking legend". In particular, series protagonist Master Chief John-117 is almost unanimously regarded as humanity's greatest soldier.
** Arbiter Thel 'Vadam is regarded as this from ''VideoGame/Halo2'' onward, due to being the Elites' greatest hero during the Great Schism; in the post-war era, his popularity leads to him becoming his species's most prominent leader.

* In ''VideoGame/PrinceOfPersiaTheTwoThrones'', the Prince returns to his home and becomes beloved by the people as a liberating hero.
* ''Franchise/AssassinsCreed'':
** ''VideoGame/AssassinsCreedI:'' Altaïr was famous among the Assassins for being a prodigy, although he let that reputation go to his head, making him respected by all, but liked by few. After [[BreakTheHaughty the events of his game]], he's earned the enmity of everyone involved in the Crusades, and also [[TheAtoner the loyalty of every Assassin]] outside of their citadel. His legacy extends even to Assassins in the modern day, who hold him in high regard for rewriting the rules of the order and implimenting many changes to their equipment and training methoods.
** Ezio Auditore likewise earns the love of the Assassins and the fear of the Templars, though he's anonymous to the general public.
* ''Franchise/MassEffect:'' Commander Shepard starts the game as somewhat famous, enough to warrant the Council having taken interest in them for several years for possible Spectre candidacy, as well as earn themselves a rather over-eager LoonyFan. Depending on your [[MultipleChoicePast choices at the start of the game]], Shepard can also be hailed as "[[YouShallNotPass The Hero of Elysium]]" or feared as "[[TheButcher The Butcher of Torfan]]". By the end of the first game, s/he is ridiculously famous after saving the galaxy. In the second game, it's mentioned that during the two year interim while they were being resurrected by Cerberus, most worlds erected memorial gardens dedicated to them and with the Colonist background, their image now adorns the colonial seal of their homeworld, while a BrokenBase has formed over those who feel joy and betrayed by their return from the dead. In the third game, when the Reapers do return and Shepard's warnings are vindicated, s/he becomes a living inspiration and symbol of hope to humanity and all of the other species involved in the war effort. The epilogue of the third game has it revealed that [[spoiler: Shepard is remembered and venerated far into the future as "The Shepard", although the precise details of their legend [[ShroudedInMyth have been lost to time]]]].

* ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyX:'' Yuna starts out known as the daughter of the last summoner to defeat Sin. She's famous as the one to permanently defeat it [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyX2 after that]].
** Auron is also an example since he was the guardian of the last summoner to defeat Sin. [[spoiler:Since he's become [[OurGhostsAreDifferent an Unsent]] in the time between Braska's pilgrimage and Yuna's, he skips the "living" part a bit.]]
* VideoGame/DukeNukem [[LegendaryInTheSequel is famous as of]] ''VideoGame/DukeNukemForever''.
* As a group, the [[VideoGame/SaintsRow Third Street Saints]], in the third game.
** The Boss, in particular, is incredibly famous. So much so that, by the fourth game, s/he becomes President of the United States.
* By the end of their respective games, the Warden in ''VideoGame/DragonAgeOrigins'' and the Champion in ''VideoGame/DragonAgeII'' are internationally famous, in a quasi-medieval society that can't use magic for fast communications. That's impressive just for its difficulty.
** Additionally there are Paragons, also known as living Ancestors, who are this to the dwarves.
* After you've played a few missions in ''VideoGame/CityOfHeroes'', {{NPC}}s start recognizing you and calling you by name. A passing civilian will say "Nice costume, (your name here)!" or an opponent will say "Cheezit, it's (your name here)!" when you approach.
* In ''VideoGame/RedDeadRedemption'' we get Landon Ricketts.
-->''I was the fastest in my time. I must've been - I'm the only one left.''
** Made more evident in the Undead Overrun game of why he has earned this title. There are three areas that can never be taken over by the undead. Two are heavily walled with an army inside and the third one is just him in a wide open area keeping the town zombie free single-handedly.
* ''Franchise/TheElderScrolls'':
** By the end of the main quest of ''VideoGame/TheElderScrollsIIIMorrowind'', the player character is widely recognised as Nerevarine and Hortator, a reincarnation of the legendary hero Nerevar and champion of Morrowind's people.
** In ''VideoGame/TheElderScrollsVSkyrim'', the player character becomes one once he/she is revealed to be the last Dragonborn, early in the main quest.
* Athos from ''VideoGame/FireEmblemTheBlazingBlade'' is specifically referred to as a Living Legend in-game, as one of the Eight Legends who fought the dragons in [[GreatOffscreenWar the Scouring]] nearly a millennium before the game starts. [[spoiler: He passes away at the end of the game, living just long enough to help the current generation save the day and give them a cryptic prophecy about [[VideoGame/FireEmblemTheBindingBlade their future.]]]]
* [[Franchise/SuperMarioBros Mario]] in any of the RPG spin offs will always be marveled at by most of the population due to his previous achievements (defeating Bowser, saving the princess, can jump really high, etc.)

* ''Franchise/BlazBlue'':
** The Six Heroes, at least those who are alive, are well-known historic figures that defeated the Black Beast and saved humanity from extinction. Anyone who recognizes them as a member of the Six Heroes either shows deep reverence or even deeper fear towards them.
** Jin Kisaragi is praised as "The Hero of Ikaruga" because he singlehandedly turned the civil war in Ikaruga around and ended it. In a bit of a twist, [[spoiler: Hakumen, the leader of the Six Heroes, is a [[MyFutureSelfAndMe time displaced Jin Kisaragi]]]], making him a bit of a twofer when it comes to this trope.

* ''VideoGame/DeathStranding'': [[PlayerCharacter Sam]] [[ExperiencedProtagonist already starts the game as an accomplished porter, known for delivering absurd amounts of cargo very quickly and in perfect condition.]] His status is cemented at the end of the game, after he [[spoiler:reconnects the entirety of the [=UCA=] thanks to the chiral network and manages to avert the apocalypse]].
* ''VideoGame/Cyberpunk2077'': [[PlayerCharacter V]] becomes one in the [[spoiler:"Path of Glory" ending]], where they're known as the person who [[spoiler:single-handedly took down the Arasaka tower and weakened the corporation holding the city by the throat.]]
** On the other side of that conflict, there's Adam Smasher, an edgerunner whose efficiency is only matched by his sadism and fetishistic interest in cybernetics. Jackie mentions his name alongside legendary edgerunners Morgan Blackhand and Weyland Boa-Boa, but also says that Smasher's legend is "a fucking bleak one".
* ''Franchise/TheWitcher'': Geralt of Rivia, the legendary witcher.
* ''VideoGame/{{Doom}}'': By ''VideoGame/Doom2016'', the Doomguy, now referred to by demons and humans alike as the [[NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast Doom Slayer]], has become to demons what they are to humans. A [[TheDreaded terrifying force of nature]] that they would tell hushed stories about for his [[ImplacableMan unstoppable and utterly brutal assaults]] on their domain. In ''VideoGame/DoomEternal'', even the humans that the Slayer fights to defend are terrified at the very sight of this [[OneManArmy relentless killing machine]].

* ''WesternAnimation/AaahhRealMonsters'': All the monsters know who Ickis' Dad is, even before Slickis visits the class. They even have biographies of him in the school library, and he's won numerous awards. Apparently, he's the source of [[NoodleIncident at least one urban legend about the Bermuda Triangle]], [[TheUnreveal though Ickis cuts his father off before Slickis can tell that story again.]]
* Tron is one to the programs of the Grid in ''WesternAnimation/TronUprising'', even though many think he's probably dead.

* ''WesternAnimation/TheBotsMaster'': In episode "[=ZZ=] Come Home", Ziv Zulander's sister used the expression "living legend" to describe him.

* In ''WesternAnimation/TheLifeAndTimesOfJuniperLee'': Monroe mentions in "Monster Con" that Jasmine is considered the most accomplished Te Xuan Ze and she gets mobbed by fans to the point that she herself says (without any trace of ego) she has to leave so the monsters can get to know June better; Jasmine herself says at the end of the episode that June will one day exceed her.
* In ''WesternAnimation/RandyCunninghamNinthGradeNinja'': The Ninja has protected Norrisville for years, making Randy fit the trope by being the new Ninja.

* In ''Manga/DeliciousInDungeon'', [[spoiler: the Lunatic Magician is an entity of legend and many don't even think she exists. Too bad the mage very much does.]]

* In the ''VideoGame/LeagueOfLegends'' [[UsefulNotes/ProfessionalGaming esports scene]], one name towers above all others- Korean icon of the midlane Lee "Faker" Sang-hyeok, [[RedBaron "the Unkillable Demon King"]]. First appearing practically out of nowhere like a comet in 2013's Season 3, he slaughtered all who opposed him to lead the team to the world championship, kicking off the era of Korean dominance, and almost a decade later is not only still a potent presence in a sport where careers rarely last more than 5-6 years, but is still the face of the same team he debuted on[[note]]give or take a rebrand from SK Telecom to T1[[/note]]. 3x World Championship winner (when no other team in the sport has even won the Summoner's Cup ''twice''), 2x Mid-Season Invitational winner, ''10x'' LCK Champion, with more pro-league wins than any other player in the LCK (the first to 500 wins, leading the next-closest competitor by well over 100). No player has ever [[TheDreaded inspired more dread]] across Summoner's Rift than Faker, and even if you can't definitively say that he's still the best player in the world, it's generally accepted that he is and will forever be the greatest player ''[=LoL=]'' has ever seen.

-->'''Stephen:''' My guest tonight you know from '''''being Paul [=McCartney=]'''''.

* In ''WesternAnimation/The Life and Times of Juniper Lee'': Monroe mentions in "Monster Con" that Jasmine is considered the most accomplished Te Xuan Ze and she gets mobbed by fans to the point that she herself says (without any trace of ego) she has to leave so the monsters can get to know June better; Jasmine herself says at the end of the episode that June will one day exceed her.
