In most stories, politicians generally eschew physically aggressive situations and try to avoid direct involvement in dangerous situations either for the sake of their position or themselves. They generally have their security detail or guards handle the threats while they head off to a safe location or sit things out. Sometimes they act as The Chessmaster and plan, direct, act on and manipulate events behind the scenes while keeping a careful distance. This character is not one of those politicians. This trope involves the circumstance where a character involved in politics or leading government gets his hands dirty when coming into contact with a threat, be it a clash with protesters or dealing with a threat outside their official residence. When things get dangerous, they’re the first to launch an attack, either physically or using a weapon. This political figure doesn’t need guards or security and prefers to take down their opponents. In other words, this is a politician who is actively involved in physical situations during their political career. This trope tends to overlap with Badass Bureaucrat, President Action, and Ambadassador. Generally, a case of Asskicking Leads to Leadership comes into play when the politician is a/the leader strictly because of his combative abilities. A case of Blood on the Debate Floor comes into play when the politician in question tends to actively combat other politicians out of disagreements. Super-Trope to President Superhero. Compare Royals Who Actually Do Something and Warrior Prince. |

Star Trek Online has Ambassador S'taass. He's the Gorn representative to the Klingon High Council and a senior member of the Klingon Empire's diplomatic corps. He's also a three-meter lizard-man with claws and teeth to match, as demonstrated in "Second Wave" when he starts ripping Jem'Hadar apart bare-handed. | |

Wonder Woman (1987): In a rather clear indication that Asskicking Leads to Leadership on Themyscira once the monarchy is abolished the Amazons elected as the new co-rulers are Philippus, generally considered their best and most experienced fighter, and the long time General of the Guard, and Artemis, a former superhero who has dedicated most of her life to fighting and training in fighting styles. When they're at the White House during an assult they jump right into the fight, and are more effective than the security forces on hand. | |

Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam and Mobile Suit Gundam ZZ. A former child prodigy forced into taking on the position of Regent for Mineva Lao Zabi, Haman Khan is Neo-Zeon's political and military leader, playing the roles of the Evil Chancellor and mobile suit pilot with equal skill. As both a political manipulator and fighter, Haman swiftly earns herself a reputation as one of the most dangerous figures of the Gryps Conflict and the First Neo-Zeon War. Haman Khan's political rival, Glemy Toto, a teenaged mobile suit pilot and wannabe-dictator with a knack for climbing the social ladder through any means. Making his way up through the ranks due to a combination of ability, luck, and family connections, Glemmy eventually stages a coup d'etat against Haman, becoming the leader of his own faction of Neo-Zeon. Despite his newly exalted status, Glemmy doesn't shirk from combat, and dies piloting the monstrous Queen Mantha alongside his right-hand man (or in this case right-hand girl), Ple-2. |

As a heroic example, Padmé Amidala is introduced to us in The Phantom Menace as the elected queen of her planet. She later takes up a position in the Galactic Senate, representing Naboo on the interstellar political scene. She's also a fair shot with a blaster, capable of keeping up with the likes of Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker and willingly fights alongside them when possible. | |

RWBY: Robyn is a Huntress turned politician, campaigning for the open seat on the kingdom's Council. While the other Happy Huntresses provide security during her political events, Robyn is still their leader and a capable fighter in her own right. When her election-night rally is attacked, she responds with weapon drawn and is prepared to join the fight if necessary. And when Mantle is ordered evacuated, she reassures the citizens in a broadcast that she will personally assist in the evacuation process. This is actually a trick to lure Tyrian into the open, using Robyn as the bait. Alongside Clover and Qrow, Robyn defeats and captures the assassin when he comes to kill her. | |

He much prefers frontline police work to the political stuff.

Halo: The Covenant's two main military races, the Sangheili/Elites and Jiralhanae/Brutes, run on Asskicking Leads to Leadership, meaning that even Elite kaidons and Brute Chieftains are often found fighting on the frontlines. Their battlefield presence is justified by them usually being much better fighters than their subordinates, and also by their high status letting them afford high-powered weaponry and heavy-duty energy shields, all of which makes them far more difficult than the average footsoldier to take down. Tartarus, the Chieftain of the Brutes, is no stranger to frontline combat, and has even better gear than your standard Chieftain, despite preferring to go about mostly naked. Many Sangheili Arbiters have been warrior-kings; the current one, Thel 'Vadam, is not just one of the greatest warriors of his era, but also kaidon of the state of Vadam. Even after Thel becomes the effective leader of most of his species, Halo 5: Guardians shows that he's still perfectly willing to lead his warriors from the front. The gravity chairs of high-ranking San'Shyuum/Prophets are effectively military-grade vehicles with heavy shielding and immense firepower. That said, most Prophets still prefer to stay far away from the battlefield, with only a few ever choosing to engage in the fighting themselves, most notably the High Prophet of Regret, who's even willing to take on humanity's greatest Super-Soldier. |

In Mobile Suit Gundam SEED, we have Cagali Yula Atha. Cagali Yula Atha acts as Orb's Chief Representative (equivalent to a President) and the head of its armed forces, first leading from aboard the Kusanagi, and later climbing in the Strike-Rouge, and sortieing herself. | |

Cagali Yula Atha acts as Orb's Chief Representative (equivalent to a President) and the head of its armed forces, first leading from aboard the Kusanagi, and later climbing in the Strike-Rouge, and sortieing herself. Mobile Suit Gundam has Kycilia Zabi, Princess of Zeon, political conspirator, and military commander. Having been given her position by her father, Kycilia earns a reputation as one of Zeon's most capable commanders, even co-piloting a mobile armour into combat alongside her right-hand man, M'Quve. Towards the end of the show, she launches a coup d'etat against her brother, Gihren, becoming Zeon's final head of state. Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam and Mobile Suit Gundam ZZ. A former child prodigy forced into taking on the position of Regent for Mineva Lao Zabi, Haman Khan is Neo-Zeon's political and military leader, playing the roles of the Evil Chancellor and mobile suit pilot with equal skill. As both a political manipulator and fighter, Haman swiftly earns herself a reputation as one of the most dangerous figures of the Gryps Conflict and the First Neo-Zeon War. Haman Khan's political rival, Glemy Toto, a teenaged mobile suit pilot and wannabe-dictator with a knack for climbing the social ladder through any means. Making his way up through the ranks due to a combination of ability, luck, and family connections, Glemmy eventually stages a coup d'etat against Haman, becoming the leader of his own faction of Neo-Zeon. Despite his newly exalted status, Glemmy doesn't shirk from combat, and dies piloting the monstrous Queen Mantha alongside his right-hand man (or in this case right-hand girl), Ple-2. Mobile Suit Gundam: Char's Counterattack: Char Aznable becomes one when, after years of scheming, he seizes control of the remnants of Haman Khan's Neo-Zeon movement and leads them into a last confrontation with the Earth Federation. Bringing all his skills into play, Char does triple duty as Neo-Zeon's military head, political leader, and best pilot, flying his custom-built Sazabi into a final battle against his archenemy, Federation Ace: Amuro Ray. Mobile Suit Gundam AGE has Lord Fezarl Ezelcant, the political and spiritual leader of the Vagan movement who,despite his advanced age, bad health, and admittedly poor combat skills, makes a sortie in his Legilis Gundam to protect the Second Moon base from Kio Asuno and his allies. Using his considerable mental abilities and the Legilis' advanced specs to compensate for his personal weaknesses, Ezelcant manages to give a good account of himself for an ill old man, surviving the battle and eventually passing on the mantle of Vagan Supreme Leader to his protege, Zeheart Galette. |

From Street Fighter V: Arcade Edition: Cody Travers reforms himself after going to prison and becomes the new mayor of Metro City. Like Haggar before him, Cody is not afraid to put his old street fighting skills to use when the situation demands it. Debuting in the same game is G, a mysterious, pseudo-Abraham Lincoln/Uncle Sam with magma powers who seeks to unite the world and serve as its president (which is indeed recognized as the same thing as taking it over). He's very offbeat and his morality and motivations are very much in question, but his means of acquiring a following is through internet videos, which he uses as a platform to stage brawls against high-profile opponents and espouse his manifesto. Simultaneously. |

An evil example occurs in Requiem Vampire Knight: a Forever War. The background involves huge armies, one made up of politicians without support and the other made up of those who suffered from their policies and lies, backed up by huge war engines. It's explained neither side will ever win as the politicians have the edge in aggression and lack of morality over the great unwashed masses. | |

THE MONUMENT MYTHOS: President James Dean (yes, that one) is a somewhat downplayed version of this, as while he doesn't directly kick anyone's ass he definitely gets directly involved in solving various problems the United States has, especially if the ADA is involved. Shown early on when he flew directly to the states in which the ADA had been cutting the power to silence his campaign and got directly involved in hiring the electricians, but his involvement was most direct during the ADA's coordinated siren hijacking (in which all warning sirens in the nation got heavily boosted and simultaneously set off); he directly commandeered a construction vehicle and knocked down the closest siren he could find, despite being left completely deaf and heavily bruised by the sound. | |

Dyztopia: Post-Human RPG: President Zazz is an unusual example, since he's both president of the state of Zeta and president of Zetacorp. He's also the hero of humanity who made a last stand against the demons and put up an excellent fight despite losing. And this is before he gets Archdemon Aquarius as a sync partner. Runi is the mayor of Pon Pon Village and a powerful Esper. Unfortunately, Barbados burns Pon Pon to the ground, though Runi works with her friends to rebuild it in the ending. Eliza is a sharpshooter who specializes in skills that don't use ATK or INT. In the ending, she becomes the President of Zeta and renames it Utopya while enacting various reforms. Prime Minister Morgalia is the ruler of Vulcanite and the sync partner of Archdemon Leo, giving her many powerful Fire skills. Chase is a pugilist who specializes in powerful single-target Fire and Slam attacks. If she doesn't sacrifice herself in Vulcanite, she will become its Prime Minister. Otherwise, Artica, an enemy Hunter-turned-ally, will become PM. |

As a more peaceful example, the mayor from Animal Crossing: New Leaf is an active citizen, doing almost all the chores of their town and is also in charge of the whole land management. This also applies to the player character in Animal Crossing: New Horizons, who serves as the Resident Representative of their island. The mayor is seen in a less peaceful light in Super Smash Bros., where he or she is fighting against characters like Ganondorf, Bowser or Master Hand with an axe and Lloid rockets. | |

However, he is more of a bumbling Action Survivor during that engagement, which is shown in flashbacks. He does pull out his gun and stand between a death squad and a civilian family after all of his men are killed or wounded, but his hands are shaking, and he probably would have been gunned down without killing any of his opponents if not for the arrival of The Cavalry. | |

A somewhat averted case appears as Congressman Bill Cowley from Burn Notice. He is actually a Corrupt Politician and a Jerkass blowhard, but he looks like this trope to the general public thanks to the main characters getting him involved (against his will) with helping them to foil a group of Russian agents attempting to murder a retired CIA agent, and later to expose a group of former US spies gone renegade. | |

City of Heroes has a few of these, in the alternate universe of Praetorian Earth we have Emperor Marcus "Tyrant" Cole, who became and stays emperor by merit of being able to punch giant monsters to death. But in the game’s main universe, we have Lord Recluse, the game’s Big Bad who is also the overlord of his own country of supervillains; The funny/awesome part is he’s the one who signed his country up to the U.N. in the first place and he is on record for showing up to summit meets decked out in his supervillain duds, and, occasionally, with literal blood on his hands. According to one of his spies, he actively cultivates his image as dangerous around the other world leaders to asserts dominance over them. To a lesser extent we also have Dr. Aeon, Governor of Cap Au Diable, under Lord Recluse. Aeon is a Mad Scientist, who citizens have seen occasionally open fire from out his office building at protesters who start resorting to violence. |

Many Marvel Earths aside from 616 have Captain America elected Florida Man. Examples include the Marvel Mangaverse, Ultimate Marvel, and the Marvel Zombies universe (where he was actually Colonel America). | |
