Me, somehow... Everyone seems to think I will save the universe, and proceed to take it over. With a SpiritBomb made of water, no less.

Me my mom and batman

batman is sort of our families version of chuck norris. Also, my brother and I are geeky enough to argue over "who would win" on occasion. In reference to a demotivational this exchange occasionally takes place:

Q: "lelouche vs. light yagami"

A: "BATMAN"

My mom is former counterintellegence. When she first saw the trailer for "the men who stare at goats" she suddenly goes "NO WAY, I can't believe they declassified that, just shows you how long I've been out of the loop." In a room filled with my classmates. Despite the fact she was always more of a paper pusher she's now treated (half jokingly, half with awe) like a total badass by my friends.

I'm quite proud that at summer camp in D.C. I was voted "most likley to take over the world." I was quite supprised and am still not quite sure what prompted it.

This troper's precalc teacher is basically this. He was formerly an Air Force sergeant who saw combat several times and nowadays, during lunch in the cafeteria, he has done such mystical deeds as TAKING OUT a 6'3" linebacker when he was beating up a kid and getting the entire cafeteria to sit down with one hand. It has since become the ultimate punishment to "sic Mr. Jackson on you".

This troper is basically a Memetic Badass at our school. My generally polite nature, love of trenchcoat in winter, formal and equal tone with all, and improv mastership has created this. I knew I acheived this when, on the first day of school, some freshman walks up to me and says, "Oh, wow. Hi, Brian!" I AM A BIOTIC GOD!

According to everyone at my school, I will one day rule the world. I have several people asking if they can be vice-ruler. I told them all no.

This troper is a Facebook friend (and long time Internet friend before that) of the protagonist of this story. (In case it goes offline, the lady was bitten by a copperhead on her backyard, went into her house, grabbed her .45, and emptied two clips on the snake.) This troper's Facebook status discussion has become a litany of Chuck Norris facts transposed to Jill Childress. With some original material, such as: #QUOTE# Chuck Norris tried to roundhouse-kick Jill Childress, but she shot his, er, snake first. #QUOTE# Jill Childress has had it with these motherfucking snakes in this motherfucking yard!

This troper has an example out of [=RPG=]. Once upon a time, he and his brother were participating in a game. His brother's character - "Avanidius" - was over two meters tall giant with maxed out physical stats, clad in spiked power armour, fighting with concrete maul and wielding lightning-based psychic powers. The best part? The character was imagined as a ''diplomat'', only the idea somehow got on its head during character creation. Since then, my bro used the name for several other characters, and it's become equivalent with somewhat of a BlackKnight.

This troper was subjected to this, despite his earnest refusal. A guy broke into our house, probably to steal a computer or TV or something, but he didn't realize that I was home, and so I pulled out the sword that's sitting in my closet and threatened him with it. My brother told a guy at school, and it exploded from there. I am now apparently the victor of an epic duel between myself and a nemesis from the great beyond, whatever that means. it's screwed up.

No. It's awesome.

Among the people this troper plays SuperSmashBros with, various characters have developed these sorts of traits:

Luigi, most of all. He ''is'' TheAntichrist, a conduit of unspeakable horror and greatest manifestation of evil in all of TheMultiverse. His Jump Punch Antichrist Uppercut is to be ''feared''. Recently, I've taken to informing people "you cannot grasp the true form of Luigi's attack!" whenever I perform his Final Smash.

Olimar takes a close second, as a brutal, slave-driving CorruptCorporateExecutive. We still aren't sure whether he tutored, or was tutored by, {{Vince McMahon}}, but the two are definitely connected.

Pimp Bowser.

Captain Falcon is comfortable with his sexuality. Contrary to accusations, he's not a HardGay; he's nowhere near that picky.

Ike is manliness made manifest.

Ganondorf's Balanced Brawl iteration is a completely different character than his unmodded version.

You too? This Troper came up with his favorite one for kirby. He is an escaped mental patient who lost his memory being shipped to hell. The plain crashed, and he regained his memory thanks to a pychic, and started actively seeking out redemtion. Typed from the new mental institute they put in next door last week.

Of all the characters in Chrono Trigger, Marle has become the memetic badass of Lumine Hall, this troper's favorite forum. In canon, she's the least badass character, unless you consider Magus to be a brooding guy who won't get over his sister.

For this troper, Emperor Norton I.

For this troper, it's my high school's varsity football coach. When he is not defending the school from a zombie invasion single-handedly or fighting his arch nemesis, the evil Dr. Steele and his asteroid destroying ray of doom, he is watching us from the trees.

I'm an inversion. Memetic Nonbadass. People around me call it pulling a *my name here* whenever someone does something ditzy.

This troper's girlfriend tried to make one out of Jeff Bridges on {{Twitter}} in January 2010.

After watching ''{{Braveheart}}'' in Western Civ class, this editor keeps making up William Wallace Facts. A sample: The Scottish tradition of tossing the caber was started by William Wallace. However, he used a redwood.

Same editor here also sees Asha this way. An example fact, the way he switches from using a sword to using a gun? That's not a nanoweapon. He just juggles between the two while teleporting. Obvious}} Using one arm. Also, his invincibility and new attacks in the second battle with him were caused by him overdosing on a mixture of Powerthirst and Brawndo beforehand and surviving the energy overload through his own manliness. (Speaking of which, if I ever get a good recording program, I am ''so'' going to make a video using the Powerthirst audio and appropriate clips from Iji)

This troper and his friend truly believe that John Freeman, who was Gordon Freeman's brother, is a literal god.

This troper and his group of friends online likes to pretend the Janitor from ''{{Scrubs}}'' (yes, we also capitalize his title) is an unnamed god who can instill fear into and defeat anyone in battle with only his mop and "ammonia bombs".

In a Let's Play! of Pokemon Red that I found once, the PC named his rival "CRAIGER" because..."CRAIG" isn't evil enough, and what to villains have at the end of their names? "er". The Joker, the Riddler, so on. I just so happen to have a friend called Craig. I have managed to start a small group of worshippers for this real-life Craiger out of respect for his Craigosity. The Craiger will eat your soul. With tabasco sauce. Also, another friend, Ryan, is described as being a tank.

This troper has become one in his D&D group. I was telling the others about my krav maga training, and its emphasis on kicking people in the balls. The DM said, "So when we see dozens of people in the street clutching their balls, we'll know that [Meshakhad] was there."

For no reason at all, in an online game, this troper hyped up some random person I saw in a lobby to the status of "greatest person ever". Since they quit forever afterwards for whatever reason, the only proof of their badassery is in my tales, which get more extreme as times go on. People are starting to go along with it.

This Troper and her dad have a few memes, for example: #QUOTE# The Goonch is the most badass fish ever. EVER. #QUOTE# Riddick is equal or superior to Chuck Norris in badassery.

This troper has some among her friends…

Liquid Snake is the AntiChrist. And he's coming for YOU. (Based off of Ursula/Elisa's prediction in Portable Ops).

Kisame Hoshigaki. Nobody mentions his sharkiness because those who have never live to tell the tale.

Somewhat inverted with one of this troper's friends for some time. ''Everything'' bad that happened was that friend's fault. Even the dinosaurs going extinct.

This troper's own brother, which is only accentuated by his title. What is that title? King Jeremy Chris.

Kulture here, and I've reached Memetic psycho status at my sixth form, and my running joke is that I can "Make a few calls." or that "All problems can be solved with adequate application of murder."

This troper's friend is part Memetic Badass part Memetic Villain. He's actually a nice guy (but enjoys playing up the memetic villain-ness for all it's worth) which makes it absolutely hilarious.

This troper and a friend managed to make our organic chem professor from TheDumbledore to BadassGrandpa. To the point where we said that he ate students souls using the blood of infants as dipping sauce, and to wash down the souls.

Everyone on the Playground ''knows'' the Admin Roland St. Jude is more than a mere mortal. There is no mind control, and we will go back to our fun.

This troper's grandfather was so badass, she literally did not know or care about martial artists (and still doesn't really know who ChuckNorris is. Did he lose against Grandpa once or something?) until finding TVTropes. He is Grandpa: Destroyer of Jerkass Boyfriends, Perfecter of the KubrickStare, and Finder of All Items Lost.

This Troper is apparently one of these, but isn't referenced to as such more than once or twice a month.

This Troper and her brother have a Mii named Ted. He's gained galactic fame as a super athelete. He's won the lottery at least 8 times. A god at the castanets. His perpetual cheerful grin and sexy 'stache have made women swoon and grown men weep.

This Troper's boyfriend is in the Navy and is aquainted with a couple Navy [=SEALs=]. He attended school with one in particular, and the frogman's habit of being a WalkingShirtlessScene, EstrogenBrigadeBait and having a hot wife resulted in ''both'' of us getting major crushes on him, and spawned many a meme between us.

The only reason he takes his shirt off all the time is because no shirt can contain the awesomeness that is a Navy [=SEAL=], and must be given regular breaks throughout the day.

Actual conversation: #QUOTE#Me: ...and then my friend knocked him out with one punch! #QUOTE#Him: Wow, your friend sounds tough. #QUOTE#Me: ''Super'' tough. #QUOTE#Him: Navy [=SEAL=] tough? #QUOTE#Me: Don't be silly.

This lurking Troper's former high school principal (former as in I am no longer a student, he's still there) is a relatively short, bald, quiet (doesn't raise his voice, doesn't address the student body much, etc) guy who has gone through Marine Boot Camp. As such, he is presumed by me and my sister to be an epic badass who only works at the school as it is on a hellmouth, contains his secret headquarters, or something else awesome. This year's prom has notably received bomb threats...so now I'm imagining him fighting terrorist in the hall the prom is held in using only his tie and a hunting knife.

My sister and I, at about 11:00 PM, decided that Kyle Justin, TheAngryVideoGameNerd 's guitar guy, is the most badass thing ever. We even described the process of his birth. #QUOTE#''As soon as Kyle Justin was brought upon this Eatrh, he shone as brilliantly as the stars. The doctor who delivered him was temporarily blinded and immediatly blessed. Every patron of the hospital, be it patient or employee, fell to their knees and wept with joy. Over in Rome, the Pope's Kyle Justin senses went off and the bells of Notre Dame rang by themselves. This alerted Quasimodo that Kyle Justin had just been born, and so he threw himself off the tallest tower of Notre Dame and began soaring over the city, pissing rainbows and shatting out gold on the residents of Paris. A baby Benzaie looked up and declared his first words. What were they? "Kyle Justin!" Back at the hospital, Kyle Justin immediatly picked up a guitar and composed Freebird, playing it live in front of his mother and the doctors. His father, in the other room, shot fireworks out his ass upon hearing the first couple bars. And that, dear children, is how Kyle Justin was born.''

If he ever reads this, I think I might die. Of what, I'm not quite sure.

One of my classmates, Derrick. He's really not a very strong percussionist, his grades aren't that great, and he's sort of socially awkward. Yet he's sort of the freshman class's celebrity of sorts. Odd.

This Troper (with capslock on the T) and her best friends have declared themselves the Asian Mafia with her Asian friend as the leader. She herself is a badass ninja while another one of her friends is the female equivalent of Chuck Norris. This started during dinner at a restaurant.

Keredis hunts by emotion. If you don't feel, he can't see you. Keredis can only be hurt by himself. Much like a phoenix, Keredis's tears can cure all injuries; or could, if he ever cried. Keredis cannot be found unless he wants to be found, and he never wants to be found. Keredis can walk through walls.

My friend Alex and I refer to the Left 4 Dead Tank as being "an unstoppable engine of violence and rage." That's not the memetic badass bit, that's a basic description. No, ''that'' comes in with Peach, who Alex once described as being kinda similar to the Tank. Now what he ''meant'' was her ability to pull up turnips regardless of the surface she was standing on, but when my response was a baffled ''"...She's an unstoppable engine of violence and rage?"'' we decided that was funnier and it stuck.

This Troper did it to himself and his best friend. Apparently, if either of us became possessed by a demon, the other would perform an exorcism and then we would beat the demon mercilessly into submission and enslave it. ItMakesSenseInContext, honest.

This Troper's English teacher is often joked as being the devil, as it is said that, to pass his subjects, you need to sell your soul to him. I wish I was joking about the last bit. Interestingly enough, I was the person who started the meme off with my English class and it leaked (although I suspect everyone who hadn't been in his lessons had feared the meme was true before it became a meme). Due to his nature of putting the fear of him into everyone, he is hardly helping to stop the meme, to the extent that my friend doesn't believe me when I tell him the truth (He is not really a devil, but it is a good idea not to annoy him, unless the class brought ear plugs: they'll need them, seriously). My friend has an elevated version of the meme (which he kinda invented himself, after his first two encounters with said teacher): that said teacher doesn't have a good side at all (Which means that he would be heard throughout the school almost every second school is on). I've seriously considered trying to get my English teacher to disprove the meme to my friend, as his inability to believe me has been going on for three years. It is a little bit annoying now.

After hearing about the CRS (basically an anti-riot squad) from our French teacher, a friend and I decided that they were a BadassArmy who regularly crashed into houses through the windows, slammed the occupants to the floor and shouted: "OU ETES LE MOTHERFUCKING '''DROGUES'''?!" (meant to mean "WHERE ARE THE MOTHERFUCKING '''DRUGS'''?!")

This troper's friend Foo has become a bit of that among certain people, as she noted recently. in various ways.

This Troper wears a fedora with a feather in it, for kicks. The feather is around 2 and a half feet long (its a peacocks wing feather, the ones without the eyes.) Since how I wear it brings the tip of it up against my temple, it is basically an antenna, I can tell when someone is touching it. I have a strict 'don't touch my feather' rule. This being high school, the underclassmen (I was a junior at the time) decided that it was uprorious fun to try and sneak up on me to touch my feather. Being alert, I usually caught them at it and they would back down. One time, however, someone had the gall to actually take my feather out of my hat. I about-faced, grabbed his arm, twisted it, and took it back, telling him "Don't touch my feather!!" He punched me in the face. We both got suspended for a few days, although I was able to convince the administration that I was the victim. When I returned to school, SOMEHOW I had apperently almost broke his arm just by twisting his hand like a doorknob, then flipped him over my back and beat him down, and my feather was apperently attached to my head. I did nothing to dispell the rumors, because hey, it kept people from touching the feather ;D

Once a bull escaped a nearby farm and ran onto the playground while all the elementary school kids were at recess. The janitor played rodeo clown with him long enough for the police to arrive, and from then on all of the kids made up stories about how he had wrangled elephants and such.

Me and a few of my friends have two. Osaka, who can take down Chuck Norris just by looking at him (because who could dissagree with THAT face?). and M-O, who, after attempting to draw him in an action pose for a drawing excecise, then seeing him try to clean an enemy into submission in a scene from the movie, has been given the nickname "'''''ACTION M-O!'''''" (capslock and exclamation mark required).

My psychology & shop teachers both carry around hammers to silence talkative kids; the shop teacher is a 60-something old man who destroys motorcycles just to re-build them (or, force select students to rebuild them under the fearful eye of his beard and the hammer). As a result, my entire school sees the shop teacher as one of these. I myself have been describing my psychology teacher as one of these, mostly because he is able to silence the single most obnoxious and talkative kid in the entire school. "Mr. [Name] will whack you with his hammer if you don't shut up and force you to write a paper on how that makes you feel."

This Troper is somewhat one, more specifically her Kubrick Stare. It has gone on to the point where many believe that if she stared at someone long enough, the poor individual would spontaneously combust. Yeah.

This Troper has become something of a Memetic Genius/Mad Scientist at both his high school and college, most likely due his interest in science (particularly the cutting-edge physics stuff), a head stuffed full of random trivia, and a lifetime wish to become a time traveller. Yeah, I'm 100%, completely, certified normal.

This troper and her friends have memetic badassed her freshman year bio teacher(whose class she hated for being so hard when she had him). According to us, he made everything, including himself. If we're in Academic Challenge and have absolutely no clue what the answer to a question is, the answer is always "Doctor [teacher's name]." The "Doctor" is mandatory, as he himself tells his classes.

This trope and his friend were at an amusement park one day when they saw a particularly stern looking young boy (7-8) in a wifebeate standing in line for a ride. They got in line and observed that when this magnificent creature got on the ride, he didn't smile once, and held his arms crossed the entire time. When the boy got off of the ride, he ran off at a brisk pace. We saw him at the picnic table area hours later, still by himself, and still not smiling. He sat at his table for about five minutes, before wordlessly running into the bathroom, then running out later. My friend and I were ''sure'' that this child was a hitman, and that he left a body in the bathroom. It has since become a threat for us to say that we would bring in the assassin kid.

Among this Troper's friends it is said,from playing SuperSmashBros with this troper,that Princess Peach could fight Goku. #QUOTE# Friend: Everytime you K.O. Peach,you give her a fresh life and time to beat the hell out of you.

He himself has become this among family and friends.As my dad stated to mom,when she worried about me walking around late: #QUOTE# Dad: People know why they shouldn't mess with him,and if they don't know,they'll find out.

This troper technically ascended to badass (hmm...I see a new trope title coming up!) due to a change in coat, a more grounded personality (as in, swearing becoming more frequent, often combined with polite speaking) and a different attitude to work. Hell, the person who first said this is one of my school's big men!

This troper's former chemistry teacher. He has dual degrees in organic chemistry and physics, and knows something about everything (almost literally). One time, he slipped in the school parking lot, snapped his femur in half and still walked into the school to call an ambulance. He was on the team that invented Velveeta cheese. Through several years of classes, he evolved into a former spy/scientist for the government with a BiggerOnTheInside Geo Metro that could purportedly teleport, who could MacGuyver anything into anything. He also had insane ninja skills, could transform into a dragon and built a sentient calculator.

You: "Who do you think you are?" Me: "I'm the Goddamn Batman!" P.S. I think Justin Bieber inverts this trope.

Me: Similar to a troper early in this page, my school believed I would conquer the world. I also like to make references to things I have apparently done, including...

Conducting the music on the Wii's menu with the London Symphony Orchestra

Killing several clones of one person, explaining why they were always back in school the next day

Inventing sliced bread

Inventing the Internet

Finding a magical pair of sneakers that made me God at foosball

This troper has developed this while at college, though she's somewhere between MemeticSexGod and MemeticMolester. It doesn't help she's been told she's like River and somehow earned the nickname Russia. At most I'm BadassBookworm, I haven't even done half the stuff my friends have decided I have. MysteriousPast and being the unknown new kid from an unknown place will do that I guess.

This troper's Classical Civilisation teacher in sixth form was a quiet, softly spoken middle aged guy who's most remarkable trait was the ability to take pretty much anything in stride, which given that Classics had attracted more then its share of nuts and oddballs was fairly impressive. This troper isn't sure how it happened but the aforementioned oddballs decided that such calmness in the face of strange behaviour was proof of hidden depths and spent a fair bit of time theorising what said depths contained (apparently there was even a website devoted to the subject). Among other things it was generally agreed that he was immortal, was Odysseus, and once fought and defeated the Loch Ness Monster.

This troper and his friend once watched Twilight out of sheer boredom, and by the time we were done one of the actors had achieved this status. We were too lazy to actually look up his name, so my friend dubbed him Little Depp (he thought he looked like a young Johnny Depp). We had concluded that Little Depp was the true master of the Cullens, as they all served him out of fear. As they should, the sheer power of Little Depp is enough to destroy all who oppose him, and THAT IS WHY ALL SHOULD LIVE IN TERROR OF THE AWESOME MIGHT OF THE GREAT AND TERRIBLE POWER OF LITTLE DEPP!!!!!!!!

A variation with This Troper; he's known as a Memetic {{McNinja}} by his friends from high school and college due to his ability to blend in with the shadows and sneak into just about anywhere without making the slightest sound or drawing attention to himself (he also happens to be a MomentKiller for this reason). When they found out that he was a Taekwondoka who could manipulate his voice to make odd, disturbing noises, they started referring to him some kind of assassin with thinly-veiled rage who could kill anyone when they least expected it. While This Troper will admit that he's a NiceGuy who has his moments when his buttons are pressed hard enough, it's not ''quite'' to that extent. Needless to say, he finds the comparisons (and a few nicknames) to be hilarious.

Duct tape. Just duct tape.

Apparently, this troper is a memetic badass to his wife's coworkers. I don't know why. Probably the way she's described my military time, martial arts training, and my "dead eye look". When I was two I was bit in the face by a dog, causing slight muscle damage in my left eye. when I get tired, or sick, my left eye will droop slightly, giving me a "Dead eye". Their opinion astonishes me. I've only actually met her co-workers once or twice, and I'm not a violent person. My wife thinks its hilarious that they think I'm cool.

This troper is the Class Superhero in her Media Studies class; if our class has a group discussion about making up a fictional movie, this troper supposedly has to star in there somewhere.

This troper is a memetic EvilOverlord, despite being quite the justice-loving pacifist. I don't know... Maybe it's the {{Magnificent Bastard}}ry ? The usual SlouchOfVillainy ? The occasional AGodAmI sentences ? Or perhaps the abuse of {{Xanatos Gambit}}s for any possible motive ? Anyway, I can't even fill a "What are your projects for the future ?" form without being suggested to write "Rule the World" on it, and no discussion on DeathNote can be made without me being compared to Light Yagami.

Same troper here. Beat a new record in that domain... being bought a frickin' replica of the DeathNote for no other reason that my memetastic reputation. Badass ? To the point of tearing pages of that DeathNote and hiding them in a Yagami-esque fashion.

One IT technician at this troper's school has become a legendary hero due to his ambiguously ethnic appearance and tendency to leap down flights of stairs in an unusually epic fashion. We call him 'The Ambiguously Ethnic IT Guy' and are in the process of writing his theme song.

My sister walks into a bar. It bends.

This troper's family has memetized, of all people, the seemingly incompetent hero Captain Fantastic from the proto-{{Monty Python}} series "Do Not Adjust Your Set" as THE MOST AMAZING SUPERHERO IN THE UNIVERSE. Anyone able to negotiate with umbrella-people and be mentioned within the same sketch as the phrase "the first man to drink the Channel" is clearly superior to all. (Although it was later determined by exhaustive research that he would fight to a draw against Grover Cleveland.)

This troper is one amongst certain peers in her computer programming class, mostly due to a combination of being the only girl in the class other than the teacher, being fairly good at programming in general, and being such a CloudCuckooLander[=/=]Ditz that you'd never guess otherwise. (And yes, somehow someone who operates on a completely different plane of logic than the rest of the world is good at one of the most logic-intense things ever. I dunno how it happened either)

At this troper's school, there was a guy who was the AFJROTC commander his senior year, vice commander the year before that, and got one of the most important staff positions his freshman year. He had the shiniest shoes and the highest grade ever, and got every button, ribbon and award possible. All subsequent ROTC members have referred to him as God, and my little sister, who's in ROTC, literally swears to him.

This troper has developed a reputation for omniscience. No matter where, when, or how, if you have a conversation involving her or anything she's interested in ''she will know''. The truth is, I just have really good ears, and an inability to tune out sounds due to a disability.

This Troper has become a Memetic ''Academic'' Badass amongst the students in his major. Whenever a professor makes a note of a particularly high score on an assignment or exam, everyone ''immediately'' assumes I'm the one that got it. (It doesn't hurt that about 85% of the time, they're right.)

For this troper, it's pretty much bound to show up in any given {{Fanfic}}. It's usually an already established {{Badass}} (for some), or at least someone who's just CrazyAwesome. To elaborate:

''Forgive Us Our Trespasses,'' a ''FullmetalAlchemist'' fanfic, has Envy, who is referred to by one of the OC's as "Bastard-sama".

For ''Fullmetal Eds'', there's Ed, who's so far killed a chimera by hugging it to death and utterly pwned Cornello in the same chapter.

In ''Alchemy Of The Soul'' (a {{Crossover}} of {{Fullmetal Alchemist}} and {{Soul Eater}}), it's Chrona, who slices Envy in half and towards the end of the story, kills Lust!

This troper is this among her friends solely because she owns a sword. A real one. Never mind the fact that she's a bookish, easily-frightened teenage girl, she's got a sword! As dorky and ridiculous as the notion is, I'm proud.

This troper's mom is this among her friends. My mother is a career military woman who regularly refers to the 6'5" Navy SEALs she works with as her 'little brothers'. The running joke is that my mother has the entire US Navy at her command and will deploy it, all of it, in my defense should anyone annoy me enough. The funny bit is my mom has no idea that she's a memetic badass within our group.

Bad? Like the Power Glove?

This troper has a couple with friends...

CAPTAIN FALCON! The FALCON.... PUNCH! is one of my most used phrases.

Sonic. Like him or not, he is pretty awesome. Despite him having.... that guy as his voice actor.

Lucas. He is the most Badass Woobie ever. Also, he's so damn cute!
