* The [[Franchise/MetalGear Les Enfentes Terribles]] project's true aim was to isolate and harness the Badass gene by conducting experiments with the DNA of the most Badass person alive, Big Boss.

The Badass Gene is activated by a need to kick some serious ass, and manifests in increased strength, reflexes, combat skills, courage, and ability to keep fighting despite severe injuries. See the {{Badass}} page for a list of known carriers.

Jesus's mother Mary could only supply Him 23 chromosomes, meaning that the other 23 must have come from God. Assuming that he had offspring with Mary Magdalene, His descendents probably would have carried DNA sequences that did not exist before Jesus was conceived.

* All four [[{{Narnia}} Pevensie]] children carry the Messiah genes, making Aslan guilty of nepotism.

* Soldiers wishing to join the [[{{Halo}} Orbital Drop Shock Troopers]] are screened for this gene as well.

** The universe of ''Dune'' is actually the future of the ''Warhammer 40K'' universe - after the discovery of Arrakis, humanity successfully got the Tau, Tyranids, Orks etc hooked on spice to such a degree that they became completely apathetic junkies and were easily slaughtered. Humanity itself started taking the spice after successfully purging the galaxy of all non-humans and re-organised into the Great Houses. The Bene Gesserits' actual aim of producing a [[{{Dune}} Kwisatch Haderach]] was to produce a man so badass he would shake humanity out of its apathy and prepare it for battle against the Necrons - robots can't get addicted to drugs, can they?

* The Badass Gene has access to [[Anime/TengenToppaGurrenLagann Spiral Energy].

* Any program to create super-soldiers that involves a screening process to pick out qualified candidates will only select those with the Badass Gene.

* The [[MetalGear Les Enfentes Terribles]] project's true aim was to isolate and harness the Badass gene by conducting experiments with the DNA of the most Badass person alive, Big Boss.

* By the [[{{Warhammer 40000}} 41st Millenium]], natural selection has killed off every human being that does ''not'' carry the Badass Gene.

* When these genes are active, the carrier becomes a full-fledged [[{{MessianicArchetype}} Messiah]].

* The first known carrier of the Badass Gene was {{Beowulf}}; he may be the Badass from which all others are descended.
* [[BuffyTheVampireSlayer Slayers]] automatically get this activated when they are activated, and becoming a vampire also activates it.
