History MemeticBadass / VideoGames

* [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyVII Sephiroth]], to the point that the exaggerations are [[AscendedFanon becoming canon in spin-offs]]. After all, he will never be a memory. And he will bring you despair.

** To Say nothing of [[MagnificentBastard Dr. Robotnik/Eggman]]. Oh, you destroyed his doom ship? ''He has another one as back-up''. Planning to pull one over him with a fake MineralMacGuffin? ''He'll trap you in a capsule rigged with explosives, [[YouJustToldMe because you told him.]]'' Going SuperMode to stop his latest ploy? ''He already set a trap just to take the Chaos Emeralds from you, turn you into a furry [[OurWerebeastsAreDifferent Werehog]], and then send you plummeting into the Earth's atmosphere''. [[XanatosSpeedChess No matter what your counter-plan is, he's always two steps ahead of you]]. [[TheChessmaster Defeating him?]] All part of his plan. '''''All Of It.'''''

** Also, Flint from ''VideoGame/{{MOTHER 3}}'', who has earned nicknames such as Flint Norris and Flint Eastwood.

* If you find yourself in a fight with Corvo Attano of {{VideoGame/Dishonored}}, an NPC guard advises his junior colleague in-game, just try to make a lot of noise when you die to give the rest of the squad plenty of warning. And that was ''before'' a deity gave him [[EmpoweredBadassNormal magic powers]].

* In the ''VideoGame/{{Suikoden}}'' series, [[VideoGame/SuikodenV Georg Prime]] is this for the good side and [[VideoGame/SuikodenII Luca Blight]] is this for the bad side. Unfortunately, there's no way these two can clash swords together [[UltimateShowdownOfUltimateDestiny and find out who would win]].

** To elaborate, Glass Joe has a win-loss record of 1-99[[note]]{{Fanon}} is divided as to whether this one win was either against Rick Bruiser, or a fluke against Von Kaiser[[/note]]. However, such a staggering ratio shows that no matter how badly he keeps getting beat, [[{{Determinator}} he doesn't give up and keeps coming back for more]].

* ''VideoGame/EuropaUniversalis'':
** France is semi-jokingly called the true FinalBoss of ''IV''. With its large population, high development and strong military ideas (averting CheeseEatingSurrenderMonkeys), France is known to often form a [[FanNickname Big Blue Blob]] in the middle of Europe if England, Spain, the Holy Roman Empire or some other nation doesn't neuter it in the opening years of the game.
** Prussia, and its larvae form Brandenburg. Combining French morale, Swedish infantry combat bonuses and Japanese discipline [[EliteArmy with the army-enhancing ideas of the Quality tree]], Prussia might not ''actually'' have access to [[TabletopGame/Warhammer40000 Space Marines]] but with the [[CurbStompBattle utterly lopsided victories]] you can achieve with them, you would be easily forgiven for thinking they ''did''.
** Exaggerated for comedy with Ulm. Ulm is a tiny one-province republic in Germany that is posed... no, destined to conquer the world, [[VideoGame/{{Stellaris}} and the wider galaxy too]].[[note]]Speaking seriously for a moment, Ulm does have the advantage of being a rather profitable free trade city within Austria's protective umbrella, it's a republic so you won't be saddled with a bad ruler for too long, and it can form the nation of Swabia with the right cores (in the process gaining fairly decent Swabian national ideas, prestige, new missions, and permanent claims to unowned territories in Switzerland, northern Italy and southern Germany).[[/note]]
** Skanderbeg, the GodEmperor of Albania, is easily the best ruler in the world by the 1444 start date. With near-perfect 6/5/6 stats and generalship to put Napoleon and Wellington to shame, a skilled player can easily turn Albania into an Ottoman death trap; burying Mehmed's dream of conquering Europe in the treacherous mountains of the tiny one-province nation.

*** The same website has an article on the RedShirt Carmine from ''VideoGame/GearsOfWar''. To best sum up their opinion of him, their link to a more professional version of the article is God on Wiki/ThatOtherWiki.

** Speaking of [[Characters/EldenRingMalenia Malenia, Blade of Miquella,]] she has a reputation as Elden Ring's biggest badass due to her in-universe reputation as the WorldsBestWarrior crossed with her infamously difficult boss fight. And it's not an exaggeration; she is said to be a prodigy swordswoman who has "never known defeat", with Radahn (above) only being able to fight her to a tie. She's also an incredible general, able to maintain a campaign to the other side of the continent (''not'' an easy feat) and inspire loyalty from her knights despite all parties knowing that just being near Malenia was enough to infect them with Scarlet Rot. When (or if) you fight her as a boss, you'll have to deal with not only the standard insane damage and health pool, but large moveset that includes multiple attacks meant to trip up complacent players... and on top of that, she ''[[LifeDrain heals]]'' every time she hits you, even if you block. And all this as a ''[[HandicappedBadass blind triple amputee]]'' [[IllGirl ravaged by Scarlet Rot]]. Boss vs boss videos have backed up her reputation as her first phase alone is enough to [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pz7Rpce2cRc curb-stomp]] practically every other entity in the game short of Malekith, who she trades about 50/50 with given both phases.

** [[VideoGame/TheLegendOfHeroesTrailsInTheSky Cassius Bright]] is considered to be one of the biggest badasses in-universe and he shows off his chops at the end of the FinalBoss fight in ''Sky First Chapter'' where he smacks the final boss and destroys it with nothing ''but a SimpleStaff''. And he's supposed to be a ''MasterSwordsman''. That's not even counting on his own intelligence. He's so popular that everyone else in the world knows of his prowess (except hilariously enough, [[TheHero his daughter]] till she finally sees him in action).

** [[VideoGame/PokemonBlackAndWhite Hilda]], the most recent female protagonist, has been portrayed -- especially in artwork around the revelation of her -- as a badass [[WrenchWench truck-]] or [[BikerBabe motorcycle-]]obsessed [[TheLadette Ladette]]. To many, Hilda is actually ''more'' of a badass than even Red.

** Vergil, Dante’s twin brother is just as a MemeticBadass to the fans, especially when he’s “'''[[{{Catchphrase}} MOTIVATED!]]'''”. Taken UpToEleven in ''VideoGame/DevilMayCry5'' as Vergil [[https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTCnkvmZnCmIjQH1EF-tJlDK5b6wICB6pNXUg&usqp=CAU in his chair]] is (as his epic theme song says) “The Storm that is Approaching”.

** Both of whom get canon badass moments in ''VideoGame/GoldenSunDarkDawn'': Briggs repeatedly attacks the most defensible city on Angara's east coast with a busted ship to rescue his son [[spoiler: and dies of wounds sustained ''[[DyingMomentOfAwesome soloing against the superpowered monsters of the Grave Eclipse]]'']], and [[spoiler:Dullahan ''[[UpToEleven gets a difficulty upgrade]]'']].

** [[VideoGame/PokemonDiamondAndPearl Garchomp]] is a [[ThreateningShark hammerhead]] [[NinjaPirateZombieRobot landshark]] [[OurDragonsAreDifferent dragon]] [[OhCrap that can fly]] [[UpToEleven at mach speeds]] ([[GameplayAndStorySegregation at least according to the 'dex]]). His stats also place him in the top tier of non-OlympusMons, and many gaming communities actually rank him higher than lower-tier legendaries. Not good enough for you? Look at [[http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/File:Spr_4d_445_m.png Garchomp.]] Now look at [[http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/File:Spr_4d_445_m_s.png shiny Garchomp.]] Notice the difference? No? That's because Garchomp is perfect as it is. It helps that Garchomp is most infamously associated with being the SignatureMon of fellow Memetic Badass Cynthia.

* Shandris Feathermoon, leader of the night elf military, has an ability that brings down ''dozens'' of super-powered moon beams (like the Druid spell Moonfire but UpToEleven). For a time, players could kite her - she could kill Garrosh and all the players trying to defend him in mere seconds.

*** Ellis in game is a playful survivor who has a fondness for adrenaline, but the community has turned this UpToEleven. Any problem in the Gmod world can be apparently solved by giving Ellis an adrenaline shot, turning him into an unstoppable weapon. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IpjANuayCKI Three are even better.]]

* ''VideoGame/RosenkreuzStilette'' gives us Grolla Seyfarth. From the level select screen alone, she sticks out, among a cast of {{Moe}} girls with cute dresses and suggestive outfits, she's seen glaring at the player in a suit of blood-spattered armor. While every other member of the RKS are some flavor of MagicalGirl with projectile attacks, Grolla put her talent into augmenting her body to become a LightningBruiser that can wield her ancestral demon sword, Grollshwert. In a game that's already NintendoHard even by Mega Man standards, her gameplay just makes things tougher. Her health takes double damage, at the cost of making her sword more powerful the more damage she takes. She doesn't need powerups to win the game, she can demolish bosses with just her trusty sword on her last sliver of health. Let's see Zero kill expies of [[VideoGame/MegaMan1 the Yellow Devil]], [[VideoGame/MegaMan2 the Mecha Dragon]] [[UpToEleven on crack]], [[VideoGame/MegaManX1 the Bosspider]], the incarnations of Death and Dracula from '''VideoGame/CastlevaniaRondoOfBlood''', and her [[VideoGame/MegaManX5 equivalent X fight]] that uses strategy and [[AntiClimaxBoss isn't a complete pushover]]. As she says to the final boss after her AGodAmI rant: "Is that all? My blade is telling me to spill your blood, and I am inclined to obey. I don't care if you're a god, a human, or even an insect; I will rip you apart just the same!"

* [[VideoGame/TalesOfVesperia Yuri Lowell]]. How Badass is this man? He has '''''[[UpToEleven fourteen]]''''' Badass tropes on his character page. Surely that lets him qualify.

** [[WesternAnimation/ToyStory Woody]] delivered an EPIC TheReasonYouSuckSpeech to BigBad Xehanort (as Young Xehanort) and got away scot-free.

* ''VideoGame/OctopathTraveler'': Alfyn's Chapter 3 boss, Miguel, is regarded as completely unstoppable by the fanbase due to his That One Boss status and being able to fight the entire party to a standstill while recovering from mortal wounds. Jokes abound that if he were in his prime, nothing could stop him, not even the True Final Boss.

* ''VideoGame/ShinMegamiTenseiIIINocturne'' brings us Matador, who [[PreAssKickingOneLiner swears by his sword and capote that he will prove victorious]], then proceed to dance around your party and murder you [[WakeUpCallBoss if you didn't think to bring on the buffs]]. On TV Tropes, he serves as the page image for [[ThatOneBoss/{{Atlus}} Atlus's That One Boss page]].

*** His status as a badass is no exaggeration. In the span of [[LongRunners 20 years]], [[VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog2 he's]] [[VideoGame/Sonic3AndKnuckles taken]] [[VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog4 down]] [[VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehogCD countless]] [[VideoGame/SonicAdventure robotic armies]], [[VideoGame/SonicAdventure2 government military forces]], [[VideoGame/SonicAndTheSecretRings an evil genie]], [[VideoGame/SonicAndTheBlackKnight an evil version of King Arthur]], [[VideoGame/SonicColors extra terrestrial]] {{Eldritch Abomination}}s, ''extra dimensional {{Eldritch Abomination}}s,'' [[VideoGame/ShadowTheHedgehog living weapons of mass destruction]], [[VideoGame/SonicRushSeries dimension-traveling antagonists]], the PolygonCeiling, and ''[[VideoGame/SonicUnleashed Physical]] [[VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog2006 Gods]].'' [[spoiler: One of which, the God of Destruction, he took out ''[[VideoGame/SonicGenerations WITHOUT his super mode]]'']]. To many protagonists, this would be a lifetime adventure. [[ButForMeItWasTuesday To Sonic, this is just another day for him.]]

* [[Franchise/MortalKombat Sub-Zero]] ([[VideoGame/MortalKombat1 the original]], although it's frequently overlapped with [[VideoGame/MortalKombat2 his younger and more popular brother]] as well) is something of a meta example, as he and his infamous [[OffWithHisHead "Spine Rip"]] Fatality ''are responsible for the creation of the ESRB''. That's right, he's more or less '''''the father of the ESRB'''''.
* Marnid in the ''Videogame/MountAndBlade'' mod Blood and Steel cost pretty much a eye of the face, and isn't very good at fighting, however, when you contract him, it's worth because he can construct the [[HolyHandGrenade Aleph]], which is basically an HumongousMecha that shoot grenades at people and do a vast damage, and this mech is near impossible to destroy, cost too much but, hey, it's still worth, EAT YOUR HEART OUT, ARTIMENNER
** Also, [[FeudalOverlord King Harlaus]] tend to be this when it comes to [[RapePillageAndBurn steal all]] [[TrademarkFavoriteFood butter from a village]] or [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking from a recently sieged castle]], oh and dont forget the feasts, parodied in [[http://imgur.com/a/ARVBH this comic]] which he used butter in his armor to enharden it.

** Amongst ''pop'n'' players, [=vTATSUv=] is the ''IIDX'' equivalent of DOLCE., infamous for his WebOriginal/{{Vine}}s of advanced ''pop'n'' techniques.

** [[CoolOldGuy Easy Pete]] is a minor character in Goodsprings (as well as one of the first NPCs the player can talk to) who can be convinced into giving you free dynamite to fight the Powder Gangers. He's gained popularity among fans for seemingly.. no reason at all? But it's resulted in tons of jokes among fans that Easy Pete is actually the most powerful character in the game or secretly a god/[[ItMakesJustAsMuchSenseInContext the Lone Wanderer]] as well as memes about a Hard or Difficult Pete.

** Starscourge Radahn fairly quickly got this reputation for real, due to his difficult and cinematic boss fight (You get infinite summon signs, and you will need them), his amazingly over-the-top attacks with both his giant swords and gravity magic (this guy ''turns himself into a meteor'' when he switches to Phase 2), and his badfass and heartwarming lore. This guy ''held meteors back''' from the lands between, and was such a FatherTohisMen that they keep protecting his fief of Caelid even after it's been devastated by the Scarlet Rot. Oh, and he learned gravity magic just so he could keep riding his childhood steed despite growing to 27 feet tall.

** Malekith, the Black Blade. He's Marika's "shadowbound beast" (divine wolf-man bodyguard), and in the backstory defeated an Empyrean who held the power of death itself, binding the Rune of Death into his black sword. Lore has it that all the demigods are terrified of him, and pitting them against him boss vs. boss backs that up; the only one who stands a chance against him is Malenia, and that's only if they're in her arena. In his arena, where he gets to use his more acrobatic moves, he always wins.
** Speaking of Malenia, Blade of Miquella, she has a reputation as Elden Ring's biggest badass. And it's not an exaggeration; she is said to be a prodigy swordswoman who has "never known defeat", with Radahn (above) only being able to fight her to a tie. She's also an incredible general, able to maintain a campaign to the other side of the continent (''not'' an easy feat) and inspire loyalty from her knights despite all parties knowing that just being near Malenia was enough to infect them with Scarlet Rot. When (or if) you fight her as a boss, you'll have to deal with not only the standard insane damage and health pool, but large moveset that includes multiple attacks meant to trip up complacent players... and on top of that, she ''[[LifeDrain heals]]'' every time she hits you, even if you block. And all this as a ''[[HandicappedBadass blind triple amputee]]'' [[IllGirl ravaged by Scarlet Rot]].

** Queen/King Sankis, depending on whether your going by the game or the narrative, from {{LetsPlay/Boatmurdered}}. They are the only person to emerge unscathed from the sheer clusterfuck that arose from this succession LP. Most notable of all their feats was one of their last: going mad from despair and slaughtering most of their remaining fellows while ''on fire''.

** [[VideoGame/MegaMan4 Pharaoh Man]] reached this status after a clip from the [[WesternAnimation/MegaMan Ruby-Spears cartoon show]] became popular, showing Mega Man [[MegaManning copying the powers]] of various Robot Masters, with them having a ThisCannotBe reaction. Then he tries it on Pharaoh Man, only for Pharaoh Man [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C7dSJN5LgsE to just punch him in the face.]]

** Don't forget [[TheWatson Gilad Pellaeon]]. His first major post was the ship Anakin Skywalker was based on. Then he successfully led the leaderless Death Squadron into a retreat at Endor and kept the rapidly-dwindling Navy forces under his command from disintegrating for years afterward until Thrawn returned. He was TheWatson to Grand Admiral Thrawn and took over the Imperial Remnant after Thrawn's death. Then he single-handedly made peace between the Imperial Remnant and the New Republic, and ''won'' against the Yuuzhan Vong. He was then the founder and first head of the Galactic Alliance (New Republic + Imperial Remnant), and he died only because he was personally assassinated by a Sith Apprentice, and only because she was too close for him to shoot her.

He was TheWatson to Grand Admiral Thrawn and took over the Imperial Remnant after Thrawn's death. Then he single-handedly made peace between the Imperial Remnant and the New Republic, and ''won'' against the Yuuzhan Vong.

* Creator/{{Nintendo}}'s very hardware is [[MadeOfIndestructium virtually indestructible]], as it is [[MadeOfIndestructium made of Nintendium]], which is harder than diamond. [[note]] One example: a UsefulNotes/GameBoy that went missing for a week, turned up in the oil pan of the family car, and still worked after it was wiped off. Or an UsefulNotes/{{Nintendo 64}} that survived an earthquake... while playing ''Quake''. Or when someone left their ''Franchise/{{Pokemon}}'' cartridge in their pants pocket when they put it in the laundry and was playing it the very next day. (This last anecdote is verified by a Troper.) [[/note]]

* [[VideoGame/EarthBound Jeff Andonuts]] has a cult following (a cult following within a cult following?) like this. The most famous example being found [[http://img243.imageshack.us/img243/3228/1252808805094.png here]]. Mature content warning.

** ''[[VideoGame/FireEmblemBlazingSword Blazing Sword]]''

** The WildMassGuessing page for ''TabletopGame/{{Warhammer 40000}}'' states that the Tyranids, an intergalactic HordeOfAlienLocusts that [[PlanetEater eat planets to their metaphorical bone]] and outnumber the stars, are running from Kirby. And '''''it makes perfect sense'''''.

** Let's not forget the big guy himself, King Dedede; a.k.a. the TRUE hero of ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBros Brawl'''s Subspace Emissary. The mere fact he has the balls to fight the pink destroyer of the universe is certainly enough, but this cunning penguin apparently outplanned everyone, even the likes of [[MagnificentBastard Ganondorf and an interdimensional being]], in order to save the greater world all in a scenario where nobody talks. ''And'' [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dPuaNYSH3bw he pimp-slaps Bowser!]] In ''VideoGame/KirbysAdventure'' as well, he's the REAL hero while you, Kirby, have ironically shown what's BeneathTheMask as the greatest villain the universe has ever seen. To go up against Kirby man... that's gutsy. If you don't agree well... then [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VAZiklz_X4g you]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pi5-lzRnsUE can]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ueb1W22Fq1Q have...]]

** [[VideoGame/PokemonBlackAndWhite Hilda]], the most recent female protagonist, has been portrayed -- especially in artwork around the revelation of her -- as a badass [[WrenchWench truck-]] or [[BikerBabe motorcycle-]]obsessed [[TheLadette Ladette]].
*** To many, Hilda is actually ''more'' of a badass than even Red.

** And of course Omanyte, better known as Lord Helix (originating from Twitch Plays Pokemon)is another almighty Pokemon God in the fanbase.

''VideoGame/{{Touhou}}'' has them in spades. It's probably easier to count the characters who are NOT Memetic Badasses.

** It is notable that as of ''[[ADayInTheLimelight Fairy Wars]]'', while she is still a SmallNameBigEgo, some of what fanonically made Cirno idiotic has been disproved (she has been shown to have knowledge of maths, including fractions), along with an admission by Marisa herself that she is growing strong or skilled enough to pose an actual challenge. At this rate, she may well become a canonical Badass as well!

* Also in VideoGame/TouhouSoccer, that Soccer Ball. It has been [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bIAH6USEbUQ sliced 10,000 times in one second]], [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZfabIwG71lY rapid-kicked so hard it burst into flames]], [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=un9s215h968 propelled from space and back into earth by the explosion of a Space Station]], [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4KRB42vjNTU slashed by the scythe of a Grim Reaper]], [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QDgMg1ipW0w a several-kilometer long energy sword]], [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i7UGHkBikpY and a katana that can cut the moon in half]], [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vlBWNGq72DY Beam Spammed to hell and back]], [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kofnEdB8Blc blasted by something that can cause an Earth Shattering Kaboom]]... [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3XvglrMSAkA and it has has survived all of that and more without a single scratch]]. [[MadeOfIndestructium Just what is that ball made of]]?

** Reimu's Fantasy Heaven in ''Hisoutensoku'' [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=smJ_vDVOa-0 really is a beast]]. Land seven hits, and they have already lost.

* [[{{FanNickname}} Captain Mustache]], the Alliance sailor from the Mists of Pandaria cinematic, has ascended to meme status as well [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wvYXoyxLv64 despite the fact that Chen Stormstout whoops both his ass and the ass of an Orc at the same time]], due to his rather large and heroic looking chin, grizzly chest hair, and iconic mustache.

** [[{{FanNickname}} Zappy Boi]], the troll shaman in the Battle for Azeroth's trailer quickly ascended to this status by zapping Genn Greymane who just finished knocking off ''Varok Saurfang'' and blast the Alliance with lava.

* [[VideoGame/{{Dota2}} Axe]] can kill people with his beard. It does not matter how many ways you are immune to death, you die anyway.

* Caim of ''Videogame/{{Drakengard}}'' fame is so badass that by second game he is TheDreaded to anything living and a sane in the setting. The guy can murder entire army by himself and nuking him from the space is just a mild incovenience for him. In the second game, he '''murdered the Grim Reaper'''. And that's without his dragon partner. In fact, he is so badass that when the second game's protagonist is presented with an option to kill Caim or his Dragon, he goes for the dragon because '''killing her is actually easier'''.

* From ''VideoGame/{{Fallout 3}}'', Old Lady Palmer and Deputy Weld have both been given "badass" status by various communities.

** How badass is Gordon Freeman? [[TabletopGame/{{Warhammer 40000}} Drop him in the 41st Millenium, where there is only war,]] and [[http://1d4chan.org/wiki/Half_Life_40k he hardly bats an eyelid.]]

** Male_07, an incidental character from ''VideoGame/HalfLife2'', has become a symbol of ''VideoGame/GarrysMod'' after his role as [[Webcomic/{{Concerned}} Gordon Frohman]] and [[FanFic/HalfLifeFullLifeConsequences John Freeman]].

** And some of that power increase is formalized from ''VideoGame/{{Halo 3}}'' onward, where Master Chief is now superhumanly athletic -- able to outrun or outjump the friendly {{NPC}}s by quite a wide margin -- and is strong enough to [[RemovableTurretGun tear turrets from their moorings and carry them around with him]].

%%* VideoGame/LeagueOfLegends: Mundo goes where he pleases.

* [[VideoGame/Left4Dead NO ZOMBIE IS SAFE FROM CHICAGO TED]].

*** Along with the fact that Shepard can use the Widow (normally a vehicle-mounted weapon modified to be a handheld sniper rifle; its recoil capable of breaking a man's arm), the Claymore (a shotgun tailored for ''Krogans''), the [[MoreDakka Revenant]] machine gun, and the [[{{BFG}} Cain]]. Shepard is a goddamn ''[[TabletopGame/{{Warhammer 40000}} Devastator]]''.

* [[Franchise/MetalGear Solid Snake]]. Acknowledged in-universe, as he's known as "The man who makes the impossible possible." And consider this guy has taken on a ''tank'' with only a bunch of ''hand grenades'', literally punched out a cyborg ninja fast enough to deflect bullets, took down multiple gunships of varied calibers and '''three''' of the eponymous Metal Gears '''''on foot'''''. He also took on countless of superpowered freaks, as well as his own brothers, who are equally as tough as him, without any special powers of his own, ''despite'' being stated he was, in fact, the ''inferior'' copy of Big Boss!

** That last paragraph was just for his ''VIdeoGame/BloonsTowerDefense'' appearences. VideoGame/{{Bloons Super Monkey}} makes him out to be Ninja Kiwi's most badass character. His powers include spiked balls that turn into bursts of darts when they strike bloons, [[WhipItGood whips]] made of plasma, a beam of pure bloon destruction, an octuplet of glaives that rotate around him & ''an entire fiesta-full of others''.

** Also Honda Tadakatsu in VideoGame/SamuraiWarriors and VideoGame/SengokuBasara. Not only was a dragonfly split in half by simply landing on Tadakatsu's spear, his [[strike:drill]] spear will pierce the heavens!

** As of their recent appearance in ''Videogame/StarWarsTheOldRepublic'', it appears that HK-series droids are starting to acquire this reputation, though mostly through comparisons to Chuck Norris in in-game chat.

** Owl and Tigger sometimes get this treatment too, but it's usually Christopher who shows up in the edits as something akin to [[VideoGame/{{Earthbound}} Giygas]].

** ''VideoGame/KingdomHeartsIII'' shot ''WesternAnimation/DonaldDuck'' up from MemeticLoser to Memetic Badass in a single moment. The Royal Court Magician notorious for not healing Sora when he needs it is capable of casting ''Zettaflare'', the most powerful spell in the Square Enix canon, '''without any outside assistance'''. This makes Donald freaking Duck ''canonically'' the most powerful mage in ANY Square Enix game.
