History Main / USMarshal

* ''Series/LawmenBassReeves'' recounts the history of Bass Reeves, the first black Deputy Marshall and the first to operate west of the Mississippi River.

* In ''Series/WynonnaEarp'', the title character is deputised into the US Marshal "[[MenInBlack Black Badge]]" division to help them deal with the [[TheUndead Revenants]], since she's the [[TheChosenOne Earp heir]], the only person capable of killing them.

* Coburn of ''Manhwa/{{Priest}}'', who represents a completely secular neutral third party in a setting where {{fallen angel}}s, a demon-possessed priest, and superhuman [[KnightTemplar foot soldiers]] of a CorruptChurch wreak havoc on the frontier.

%%* ''Film/ConAir''.

Note that the difference between something like the FBI and the US Marshals is that the marshals are expected to go off into the wilderness, usually alone, take into custody and bring back to justice whoever they are sent after. It pretty much requires that you be a total badass. So while an FBI agent might or might not be a Badass, a US Marshal always is - even if he looks like a [[BadassBookworm nerd]]. Big duties assigned to the Marshals Service today include WitnessProtection and prisoner transport across state lines; that said, a surprising number of them spend most of their time doing pretty mundane work like doing security at federal courthouses (manning the scanners that sprouted at the courthouse entryways after 9/11) and serving court papers and enforcing judgments on litigants in federal cases (if somebody sues you in federal court, and wins, and you refuse to just cut a check despite having plenty of stuff, it's a US Marshal who will be seizing your car or your house or your prize fancy cat to pay the judgment; if you don't have a lot of stuff but do have a steady income, it'll be the Marshals who arrange the garnishment).[[note]]Generally, anyway--some overworked Marshal's offices, like the one in the Western District of New York, have so much other stuff to do they don't touch civil satisfaction of judgment, instead leaving that to local sheriffs' offices.[[/note]] They are not, however, the Air Marshals assigned to flights to counter hijackings, which is a separate service entirely.

* ''TabletopGame/BluePlanet'': The GEO Marshals on Poseidon act similarly to the US Marshals. They are the leaders of GEO law enforcement, and each one of them is a certified {{Badass}}.

* ''Film/PacificRim'': The use of the word "Marshal" for the higher-ups in the Pan Pacific Defense Corps (and the use of the word "Ranger" for the [[HumongousMecha Jaeger]] pilots) was done both to evoke Westerns and because director Guillermo del Toro is a pacifist who wanted to avoid giving the organization a militarized vibe.

* ''Series/TheMarshal'', which ran for a little over a season in 1995, starred Creator/JeffFahey as a US Marshal whose job involves think-on-your-feet detective work.
