Some fans are a cut above the regular otaku. For most, it is as simple as being hired to work in the industry that deals with the media you love, but in fiction, it can take a whole new meaning. The Ascended Fanboy/Fangirl is that lucky one-in-a-million with a hobby based on something imaginary which does not stay imaginary—it turns into reality, and he becomes a part of it himself.
A variation is where it is imaginary to us but not in the context of the world, such as a mecha fan, in a world full of mecha, getting to pilot one.
For those lucky few, they receive the Call to Adventure, and ask: "How high?" Naturally, it is never so easy or glamorous as they thought it would be, but they've got the right stuff, and a whole lot of Beginner's Luck to last them until it comes out. As a side effect, they're usually Genre Savvy, sometimes to the point of excess. Of course you know, they could be wrong.
Often a former The Team Wannabe. Who the fan works for is often their idol. Subtrope of Audience Surrogate. Compare The Knights Who Say "Squee!". Contrast with Loony Fan. See also I Know Mortal Kombat, which often results in this.
Note: This trope is for in-universe examples. For the Real Life counterpart, see Promoted Fanboy.
This has nothing to do with that kind of ascension, at least unless the fan really likes Daniel Jackson.

All the human character in the Digimon V-Tamer 01's Digimon world were fans of the V-pets except for Rei Saiba. Taichi's the least fanboyish of them, as the other tamers either have more monsters, higher evolved monsters or both and he openly admits to not bothering with the latest line of V-pets, which leaves him unfamiliar with others' monsters.

Sleepless Domain: Cassidy idolized the Magical Girls that protected the city, with her particularly idolizing Heartful Punch, and fervently wished she would become one herself. She eventually awakened as Flash Cut and even began to hang out with HP. However, she never seemed to make the transition from 'fangirl' to 'friend' in her mind, so when HP cut off their friendship over Cassidy going Clingy Jealous Girl and attacking Undine physically and with accusations that she was behind the Team Alchemical disaster, Cassidy took it badly.

Riku Asakura from Ultraman Geed, who was unaware that he was, in fact, the human form of the eponymous Ultra until the series began. However, he's a pretty big fan of Tokusatsu (especially Show Within a Show Donshine), so it was a pretty for awesome for him.

The Arrows trilogy is about Talia, a fangirl born in a medieval setting. She loved songs (and books, when they were available) about the brave, capable, egalitarian Heralds who lived far away in the capital. So the day an oddly intelligent white horse showed up to interrupt her Arranged Marriage and take her away to the Heralds' college was the best day of her life. The trope is depicted positively- the Heralds of Talia's fantasies aren't significantly more flawed in real life, nor did she expect that the job would be without danger. Most of all, it gave her comfort and hope during a very harsh childhood.

Deconstructed in 20th Century Boys. Kenji's childhood fantasies of evil alien invaders are used by a cult as the basis for taking over the world themselves, forcing him to step into the role of the hero he always saw himself as in the scenarios. It...doesn't work out too well.

Gun-otaku Kouta Hirano from Highschool of the Dead. He's actually very good at handling the weapons he gushes over, he just didn't expect to need these skills in real life in order to fight zombies. He is often told that some of the things he claims (like being trained by Blackwater USA during a trip to America) make him sound like a manga character.
One part of Blackwater's business is firearms and tactical training. All you have to do is pay a few thousand dollars and they'll teach anyone how to shoot military weapons like a professional. Many Japanese gun enthusiasts go on overseas trips just to go shoot guns, especially in Guam.

Scott of Podcast: The Ride was a massive fan of Fry's Electronics, specifically the chain's diverse and elaborate theming, to the extent that he filmed an HD Shot-for-Shot Remake of a very dated space shuttle launch video unique to his local store in Anaheim, California. After several months of jokingly campaigning on Twitter, Scott managed to get in contact with the chain's management, which permitted him to replace the store's video with his own and host a fan event there... two days before the store permanently closed, and just a few weeks before the COVID-19 Pandemic would break out and lead to the end of the entire chain.

Deconstructed, as the result of him seeing "flags" or foreshadowing is him inadvertently doing everything in his power to make it happen rather than trying to change it.

The Jagged Alliance-series had Tex Colburn, a Japanese (not Japanese-American, Japanese) Spaghetti Western fan, who strode into battle in a cowboy hat and with two revolvers in his hands. It is revealed in "Jagged Alliance 2" that he hung up his guns to star in several acclaimed Japanese westerns, such as "Attack of the Clydesdales" and "Much Dust, Many Bullets".

Morgan LeFlay from Tales of Monkey Island has apparently been following the career of Guybrush Threepwood, Mighty Pirate, since he first defeated LeChuck, and is honored to cross swords with her idol.
She clearly wants more than just "cross swords" with him. Unfortunately for her, Guybrush is devoted to Elaine and is completely oblivious to Morgan's advances.

Fire Emblem:
Between Path of Radiance and Radiant Dawn games, Kieran (the most patriotic character in the series, including the ones who fall under My Country, Right or Wrong) is promoted to 2nd in command of the Royal Knights (one of Crimea's highest military positions).
In Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War, one of the substitute characters is a pegasus knight named Femina. The girl had been raised hearing stories about the amazing knight Sigurd and his companion Ferry; she doesn't get to work with her idols since they're dead, but becomes one of the companions of Sigurd's son Celice.

Taran of The Chronicles of Prydain dreams of becoming a hero and fighting side-by-side with Prince Gwydion. Eventually, he gets to do so, ends up with a Cool Sword, gets to marry the Princess, slay the Big Bad, and save the kingdom. Also somewhat deconstructed, in that while he wants to be a hero, he at first doesn't realize how much hardship is involved, and that you have to Earn Your Happy Ending.

Future Wonder Girl Cassie Sandsmark was introduced in the pages of Wonder Woman (1987) as a member of the local Wonder Woman fan-club. She later went on to help found Young Justice with several other superhero fans turned teen heroes, including Tim Drake and Bart Allen.

The Unbeatable Squirrel Girl: Squirrel Girl was an Avengers fan rejected for having the useless power of controlling squirrels. Then she ends up saving Iron Man and defeating Doctor Doom. That would be ascended enough, but then she goes on and beats Thanos, Terrax, Deadpool, Mandarin, and others. She's not only ascended but made her way to the very top of the Marvel universe. She eventually got to (sort of) join the New Avengers as a nanny for Luke Cage and Jessica Jones' daughter. She later becomes a full-fledged member of the New Avengers during All-New, All-Different Marvel.

Subverted in Sparkling Generation Valkyrie Yuuki where a Magical Girl fan becomes something akin to a Magical Girl herself and is not happy, mainly because said fan was male until these powers were activated. In fact, it was Hermod's idea to hide inside a DVD because he thought a Magical Girl Anime fan would make an ideal candidate to become the next valkyrie. Obviously, it didn't work out as planned.

The Simpsons:
In the episode "The Front", Bart and Lisa co-write a fan script for an Itchy & Scratchy episode (using Grandpa Simpson as an alias) and end up getting picked up as regular writers, at least until Grandpa grows wise to what kind of show Itchy & Scratchy really is and quits.
In the episode "Once Upon a Time in Springfield", the actress who plays Princess Penelope is shown to have been a lifelong fan of Krusty and the two then have a romantic relationship.

Cross a continent and an ocean to train as a samurai in Japan. That's what Stephanie from Carried by the Wind: Tsukikage Ran wanted to do because she was a fan of a book series. She quickly learns that most samurai are thugs or drunkards or something else disappointing. Instead of being depressed, she decides to "beat the guts" back into them.

Miraculous Ladybug:
Adrien is a Lonely Rich Kid whose father basically never let him out of the house. Comics where superheroes went on exciting adventures and fought monsters were his only outlet...so when a kwami materialized in Adrien's room to give him superpowers, he had a pretty good idea of what was happening. (This is why his transformation pose looks so cheesy- he's been practicing.) This trope makes him both kinda jealous of the magic, and the team's moral center- he's the most insistent that if they're going to be heroes they should act like heroes.
Alya is a huge fan of superhero comics as well as an aspiring journalist, so when actual superheroes appeared in Paris she jumped at the chance to document their adventures. When she eventually gets to use a Miraculous herself, she's ecstatic.

Hiro Nakamura of Heroes has been a comic book junkie for years when he discovers he has superpowers of his own. It's a bit of a surprise he hasn't put together his own costume yet. He certainly wants to. He also always wanted to be his childhood hero Takezo Kensei and kiss the princess he saves. He got the chance in season 2. Hiro is also a literal Ascended Fanboy, according to his father:

Woody Wilkins in Condorman deliberately sets out to bring fame to his eponymous comic book hero by attempting all the stunts he writes about in Real Life. He convinces his CIA buddy to let him take a "routine" courier mission and winds up involved in the defection of a KGB spy. In a variation of the usual trope, he is actually Wrong Genre Savvy, which is where the Hilarity Ensues.

The Flash:
In one of the earliest examples, Barry Allen was a big fan of the Flash from The Golden Age of Comic Books. One bolt of lightning later, you have an Ascended Fanboy, and The Silver Age of Comic Books is born.
As was Wally West, who dreamed of being like the Flash as a kid (helped along by a visit from his time-travelling future self). Then, in a repetition of the accident which gave Barry Allen his powers whilst visiting his lab, Wally became Kid Flash, Barry's protege and eventual successor.
The first Reverse-Flash is retconned to be one of these Gone Horribly Wrong. Eobard Thawne was a fan of Barry Allen from the future who found ways to replicate his powers, costume, and appearance all with the intention of coming back to the past to run alongside Barry. It only goes wrong when he arrives after Barry's death and Wally has already taken over the role. Addled from time travel and the discovery that he will one day become Professor Zoom, he briefly deludes himself into thinking he is Barry and fools everyone else in the process.

In Heart of the Woods, Morgan Fischer is a fan of the Vlog Series Taranormal, who ends up inviting Tara Bryck, the producer of the show, and Madison "Maddie" Raines, her manager, to Eysenfeld to investigate supernatural phenomena there. Early on, Morgan innocently asks if Tara's looking for another assistant, unaware that Madison recently announced her resignation or that it caused friction between Madison and Tara, but when the mood turns awkward, claims she was just joking. In the good ending, Madison, who's made up with Tara, decides to go back to film school, and plans on teaching Morgan to take over her duties.

And then we get to Power Rangers Dino Fury... in which four of the five rangers were major fans before becoming rangers, and the fifth is an alien from 65 million years ago who had only ever heard rumors about the Morphin Grid before becoming a Ranger himself. Turns into meta when it turns out that four of the five actors were fans of the franchise before being cast and the fifth had heard about it but not watched it due to circumstances (Tessa Rao, having grown up in New Zealand, where Power Rangers wasn't aired due to fears of violence.)

In the Monster Rancher anime, the games exist in the show's version of Earth. Main character Genki is a big fan of the games, and when he gets a mysterious CD in the mail, he inserts it into his brand X, PlayStation-like game console (a reference to the actual game in which you put in various CDs to acquire the game's various mons), and the next thing he knows he ends up in the world of Monster Rancher where he travels with a girl named Holly and her assistant Suezo (one of the game's monsters) fighting baddies, and finding mystery discs that contain various monsters.

The King of Fighters:
Shingo Yabuki idolized Kyo Kusanagi so much that he vigorously trained so that he could join him in the titular tournament. While he may never shoot fire (somebody apparently never told him that Kusanagi powers are hereditary), he was strong enough to win a few tournaments and survive against Riot of the Blood Iori.
In the EX duology, he gets a Distaff Counterpart in Moe Habana, another huge fan of Kyo that based her own fighting style all around that of her idol's. And much like Shingo, after a chance encounter with Kyo she ends up fighting side-by-side with him.

Wonder Woman:
Future Wonder Girl Cassie Sandsmark was introduced in the pages of Wonder Woman (1987) as a member of the local Wonder Woman fan-club. She later went on to help found Young Justice with several other superhero fans turned teen heroes, including Tim Drake and Bart Allen.
Wonder Woman (Rebirth): Peony McGill was a huge Wonder Woman fan before starting out as a hero herself as Star Blossom. She giddily tells the hero that she has a Wonder Woman action figure when they meet.

The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent has billionaire cinephile Javi Gutierrez write a screenplay with help from his favorite actor, Nicolas Cage, who also accepts the leading role. The screenplay, adapted from the mayhem the duo gets into during Nick's stay, ends up becoming one crowd-pleaser of a movie.

I Became the Villain the Hero Is Obsessed With:
Korean Da-in finds himself inside of his favorite comic book, able to interact with his favorite superhero Stardus. In order to get as much attention from her as possible (he enjoys her glares and anger), Da-in decides to take up the Super Villain persona of Egostic and engage in Engineered Heroics against her to build her strength, while murdering the actual serious threats to her. All the while, Da-in still collects memoriavelia, stashes pictures, and runs a fansite dedicated to her, to the annoyance of his female minions.
Seo Jayoung is a bored Shut In with Playing with Fire powers who enjoys watching Egostic's terror attack livestreams, commenting on them as an Early-Bird Cameo, before he eventually reaches out to her to recruit her. She spends her off-time loafing around watching Da-in until Dragged by the Collar out to train.

Animalympics has Bolt Jenkins, an alligator who grew up in the sewers of a big city. When he watched Boris Amphibiensky's high jump world record on TVs in a store front, he decided he wanted to achieve that, too, and made Amphibiensky his role-model. Fast-forward to the first Animalympics: Jenkins gets his first opportunity to compete against Amphibiensky. Not only that, but he manages to beat him right away and become the new world record holder.

In Rock Star, a passionate fanboy of fictional Heavy Metal band Steel Dragon becomes the group's new lead singer after the original lead singer is fired. The film is loosely based on the story of Tim "Ripper" Owens, who started out in a Judas Priest tribute band and went on to become the lead singer of Judas Priest when original singer Rob Halford took a hiatus from the band.

Hilariously averted in HeartCatch Pretty Cure!. While searching for the third Precure, young fairy Potpourri finds Ban, an inspiring manga artist the girls befriended earlier, in the middle of figuring out how his third Precure would act in his comics. Inspired by his devotion, Potpourri decides he would be the third Precure. However, when Ban starts imagining how it would be like, Potpourri panics and bolts as the image hits him.

The Alphas from The Dresden Files were RPG enthusiasts and college students before they were taught how to become werewolves; now, they're one of the forces that makes sure Chicago stays safe for mortals. In a partial subversion, upon becoming werewolves, most of them went for "tough guy/gal" leather ensembles... only for them to a) look slightly ridiculous and b) turn out to be massively impractical when the time to shapeshift came about. They do get out of that phase, though.
Even more with Butters. He starts in Dead Beat (book 7) as a 90-pound Jewish nerd coroner and polka fan that tried to join the police and the army but never got to because he was not physically up to par. As of Skin Game (book 15), he is a great magical theorist and can create magical objects even though he has no magic himself, defended Chicago Batman-style while Harry Dresden and Molly Carpenter were unable to, and ends up becoming a Knight of the Cross when he grabs the broken Fideiacchius and it turns into the Lightsaber of Faith. Thus becoming an Ascended Fanboy from two universes. He is a Jedi Knight of the Cross, you see...

Later on, Elsie, who is a fan of the pop-idol Kanon, has to take her place when the real girl is put into a coma by Vintage. Luckily Elsie has a magic robe that can change her appearance and has memorized all of Kanon's songs and dances, but there are still a few...inconsistencies.

Subverted by Gainer Sanga of Overman King Gainer. While Gainer is a huge fan of giant robot fighting games, he's only piloting a giant robot to save his friends who are going on Exodus, since he understands the difference between Real Life and a video game. It becomes a plot point when his video game rival turned Rival in real life, Cynthia Lane, doesn't understand the difference and is shocked when her fight with Gainer ends with Gainer injured.

Power Rangers:
Justin from Power Rangers Turbo can certainly qualify, especially considering his response to gaining the mantle of the Blue Turbo Ranger.
Mack from Power Rangers Operation Overdrive might be a more pronounced example, with his specific love of adventure books and sneaking off with the morpher intended for his Adventurer Archaeologist father.
Dustin from Power Rangers Ninja Storm is a less pronounced example; he's a comic book fan whose reaction to receiving the power was "I knew it! Power Rangers are real!" but motocross is still his major interest.
There's more. Computer/sci-fi geek Ethan from Power Rangers: Dino Thunder looked about to faint when he found out he'd be a Ranger, and Power Rangers Mystic Force's Chip has been shown to be a fan of superheroes and fantasy. The main Power Rangers Jungle Fury Power Trio also had big grins on their faces (or at least Theo did) when their mentor brought up the Rangers, just before they were presented with their own morphers. Subverted in Power Rangers S.P.D., where fanboy Boom is almost the only one who doesn't get a morpher at some point.
Power Rangers Wild Force shows Cole reacting like a typical fanboy when he meets the previous Red Rangers, even wiping a sweaty palm on his hands when he goes to shake hands with Jason.
Flynn from Power Rangers RPM was someone who had a lot of moral principles and a deep admiration for superheroes but before the Venjix attacks he couldn't channel his desires in a meaningful way without getting into trouble. After risking his life to save a group of refuges trapped outside the dome he impressed the higher ups so much that he became the Blue Ranger. His father even lampshaded that after years of telling Flynn superheroes don't exist it turns out he was looking at one all along.
And then we get to Power Rangers Dino Fury... in which four of the five rangers were major fans before becoming rangers, and the fifth is an alien from 65 million years ago who had only ever heard rumors about the Morphin Grid before becoming a Ranger himself. Turns into meta when it turns out that four of the five actors were fans of the franchise before being cast and the fifth had heard about it but not watched it due to circumstances (Tessa Rao, having grown up in New Zealand, where Power Rangers wasn't aired due to fears of violence.)

In Neon Genesis Evangelion, military otaku Kensuke Aida is convinced that mechas are the coolest thing EVER and spends nearly the entire series expecting to become a pilot, even begging Shinji to pull some strings (despite the fact that Shinji has no influence whatsoever). He's never picked, of course — but his jock friend Toji, who strongly dislikes NERV, is. In several video game adaptations and Alternate Universe manga, he does, however, get to become an Evangelion pilot.

Once she turns fourteen and gets superpowers (she's a major Flying Brick) she lobbies constantly for them to let her join up. In the Whateley Universe, it's illegal for people to superhero before they turn eighteen, so right now she's just a huge headache for the Empire City Guard.note In the stories set in ten years after the original series, she and her beau Strongarm are indeed with the Guards

Total Drama:
The Loony Fan Sierra of World Tour is one of these. She claims she knows everything about the cast and participates in the season.
Zoey, as her first confessional in Revenge of the Island, would indicate.
Pahkitew Island introduces Ella, who says in her audition tape that she joined because she loved World Tour and its musical elements.
The same season has Topher, a massive fanboy of Chris McLean who constantly praises his ability to stir up drama and make insane challenges. However, he secretly intended to seize Chris position as host for himself.
Priya from the reboot series isn't one herself; her parents, on the other hand, were huge fans of the first season and that they literally gave birth to her for the sole purpose of having her compete and win on Total Drama. And sure enough, she's the first official winner of the reboot series.

Mahiro from Nyaruko: Crawling with Love! gets to experience the less-than-pleasant side of this since his "fandom" is the Cthulhu Mythos, meaning he now has to deal with Eldritch Abominations and other extra-dimensional weirdness, and his only defense is the Crawling Chaos Nyarlathotep — who just so happens to have fallen in Love at First Sight with him. While she may present as a beautiful silver-haired Otaku girl, Mahiro's fully aware that "Nyarko" is really an insanity-inducing cosmic horror, which throws a good bit of cold water on any potential attraction.

Static and Gear in Static Shock are this; they are comic book geeks and get really excited when they finally meet the Justice League and get to visit the JL tower. They never really planned on becoming superheroes themselves until Static got his powers. Gear gives him the idea of becoming a superhero, and it's pretty much all for fun for the two of them until the Special Episodes. Gear wishes he had powers after a while, then figures out two seasons later that he had had them all this time, they just weren't as flashy as Static's. He immediately joins Static in fighting crime.

Kotetsu T. Kaburagi/Wild Tiger from Tiger & Bunny was a superhero fanboy long before he actually became a superhero himself. When he's feeling down, he cheers himself up by old footage of his favorite hero, Mr. Legend.

Kung Fu Panda 2, Po leads the Furious Five, along with Master Shifu and several other famous masters, into a glorious charge against the Big Bad's army of wolves. During the slow-mo leap, you can see his gleeful expression as he looks left and right. Even moreso, this is similar to his dream at the start of the first film.

This can even be seen in Kung Fu Panda 3 when Po's father puts on Master Flying Rhino's armor and pulls on a lever. The armor goes into battle mode in a very Iron Man-like sequence. Cue Po exhaling with such a look of admiration on his face and then stating that he just peed a little.

Batman: The Brave and the Bold:
The Joker himself is guilty of this towards the Weeper. To be fair, it was the father of modern, gimmicked supervillainy, so he had a good reason to Squee.
Blue Beetle is another example. He idolizes Batman and most of the other superheroes he comes across and takes photos of the JLA Satellite after being inducted into the Justice League.

Ultimate Marvel:
Ultimate Spider-Man: The first Spider-Man, Peter Parker, was a fan of both The Ultimates and most genius people (including in-universe genius, like Tony Stark and Charles Xavier). Miles Morales, the second Spider-Man, is the reverse: he was raised by a superhero-hating father and never paid much attention to heroes and villains. Then when he gets his powers, he gives himself a crash course in the superhero world and retroactively becomes a fan of Peter Parker and vows to honor Peter's memory as the second Spider-Man.
Ultimate X-Men: When she first joins the team, Kitty Pryde was a fan of everything they do, as if she had joined the Ultimates. She was also a fan of Spider-Man, and eventually became her girlfriend. For a time.
Ultimate Galactus Trilogy: The Ultimate Fantastic Four are fans of the Ultimates, but for different reasons. Reed and Sue? They can tinker with a spaceship alongside Tony Stark and an actual alien life form! Johnny and Ben? They can kick ass with Thor and thrash some aliens!
The Ultimates: Bruce Banner had always been a fan of Captain America, the skinny guy who was turned into a supersoldier by a tech that is now lost. Captain America has been found frozen in the Artic, he's somehow still alive, and it's Banner's task to direct the medical efforts to wake him up and heal him. Of course, Bruce's own efforts to replicate the formula that created Cap didn't go well for anyone.

DuckTales (2017):
Huey, Dewey and Louie idolize the adventurous "bajillionaire" Scrooge McDuck and are elated when they learn he's actually their great-uncle. They eventually help to rekindle his adventurous spirit and join him on his newest exploits.
Webby, the granddaughter of Scrooge's housekeeper, is an avid fan of his adventures and dreams of being an adventurer herself. She befriends his grandnephews and accompanies them on his latest quests. And in the finale, it turns out she's a blood relative, being Scrooge's daughter via F.O.W.L. cloning plot.
In "The Duck Knight Returns!", Launchpad befriends an up-and-coming actor who is chosen to play Darkwing Duck in a grim 'n gritty reboot movie, and like Launchpad is a huge fan of the original show, which he credits as inspiring him through a difficult childhood. After a series of events ends up cancelling the movie, Launchpad convinces him to actually be Darkwing for real. The actor's name? Drake Mallard.

The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim: Erik is a young Farm Boy from the village of Rorikstead who dreams of being an adventurer like the Dragonborn, but can't afford the equipment, and besides his father won't allow him to go out of concern. The Dragonborn can offer to pay for his armor so he can go adventuring, or just threaten his father into paying for it, but in either case, Erik will adopt the moniker Erik the Slayer and become a recruitable companion, fighting at the Dragonborn's side. The character is a tribute to a real-life Oblivion fan named Erik West, known as "Immok the Slayer" on the forums, who sadly died of cancer in May 2011.

Inverted in Disgaea 3: Absence of Justice. Almaz is a descended fanboy after his hero-idolizing tendencies gave him the wonderfully suicidal idea that he should follow in legendary hero Aurum's footsteps and go slay the Overlord of the Netherworld. No more than a couple of chapters later, he's now unwillingly serving as the lab rat of the Overlord's son, and wondering what the hell he was thinking. There's also the fact that the "hero" in question is actually the Big Bad of the game.

Thoroughly deconstructed in Fans!, where all of the heroes (and several of the villains) were of this type.

Stargate-verse:
Lt. Col. Mitchell from Stargate SG-1 can be considered such and is sometimes actually referred to as Lt. Col. Fanboy in fannish circles. He has memorized all their mission reports and will occasionally recite passages at top speed. He is known to have had the dream of joining SG-1 to learn from them but was instead given leadership of said team after being shot down saving their lives, and Major General Jack O'Neill, the original leader of SG-1, promising Mitchell any command he wants if he's successful in his physical therapy. Double subverted in that when Lt. Col. Mitchell first received command of SG-1 he merely inherited the group's name and its TO&E, all the original members which he idolized had moved on to other things at that point. He managed to convince most of them to come back though. Which is probably why the other SG-1 members didn't mind him taking over the team (not that Jackson or Teal'c, being non-military, could've been put in command anyway, and Lt. Col. Carter didn't return to the team until months after Mitchell arrived). In addition, the job isn't quite perfect as Daniel and Teal'c are often annoyed by his relative inexperience. Said inexperience has also led to him receiving more than his fair share of scaths during his time on the team.
Really, Daniel Jackson is one as well. He's not a speculative fiction fanboy, sure, but having his outlandish theories about Egyptology proven true must have tickled his fancy. Actually, he counts for bonus points on this one, doesn't he?
Eli Wallace from Stargate Universe, who is recruited solely because of how much of a fanboy he is. He's also heavily implied to be the intended avatar for the audience.
Well, being a fanboy and also being able to crack a complex puzzle written in a language he didn't understand, hidden in a popular online game in the hope that someone would come along and solve it.
Joe Spencer from the SG-1 episode "Citizen Joe" also counts. He's been watching SG-1's adventures for years using alien phlebotinum he stumbled across, and he is suitably starstruck when he meets SG-1 in person. The whole episode is essentially "What if one of SG-1's viewers existed in-universe?"

Played with regarding Hyper Fangirl and The Nostalgia Critic. She starts off as a Once-ler fangirl who quickly becomes a fan of the Critic (as in, falls in obsessive love with him). Despite not being interested in her at all, the Critic calls her in to help with the next review (comparing the two Spider-Man movie franchises) because she's a Spider-Man fan too. However, the rest of her appearances have her break in and eventually kidnap the Critic, forcing him to let her review a movie with him. After some Character Development, though, she gets called in more often to review movies with Critic or at least offer an alternate opinion from his.

Super Robot Wars:
Shin Super Robot Wars: Ryusei Date is a Humongous Mecha otaku who pilots the machines he's admired so much. In Original Generation, he gains an Evil Counterpart, Tenzan Nakajima. Tenzan, however, is a deconstruction of this trope as, unlike Ryusei, who grows up and understands the situation he's in while holding on to his hobbies, Tenzan is lost between fantasy and reality, his last words he can just hit continue and his HP will be restored and he can rule the world once he level grinds enough.
Noriko usually joins him in squeeing over all the Super Robots the heroes are carting around. And then she pilots the GunBuster.
Super Robot Wars Z gives us a rare villainous one in the form of THE Edel Bernal.
Like all kids of Nouvelle Tokyo City, Wataru is a huge fan of The Brave Express Team in Super Robot Wars X, and claims he based his clay model of Ryujinmaru off of Might Gaine. Meeting with Might Senpuuji and his team is like meeting a superstar for Wataru.

Marvel Cinematic Universe:
Hawkeye: The audience is introduced to Kate Bishop via flashback to the finale battle of The Avengers, showing how Clint Barton saved her life which inspires her to herself train at archery. During the events of the series she not only meets her idol Hawkeye but also gets the chance to join him on a mission and becoming his crimefighting partner.
Ms Marvel: Similarly to her comic book portrayal, Kamala Khan is absolutely bananas over the Avengers: writing fanfics, creating YouTube videos, cosplaying as her idol, Carol Danvers, and daydreaming of becoming a superhero. Then she gets powers and becomes a superhero for real, finding out in the process that it's a lot harder than she imagined.

Aine Yukimura from Sensual Phrase wasn't exactly a fan of the Aucifer band, but she was a prospective songwriter with rather...steamy song lyrics. By coincidence, Aucifer singer Sakuya caught a glimpse of them and had his band use these lyrics on-stage. From then on, Aine got hired as the official Aucifer songwriter and hooked up with Sakuya...too bad her dude is, well, rather screwed up, to say it politely.

Tash Arranda of Galaxy of Fear was fascinated by and idolized the then-extinct Jedi Order, reading everything about it that got past or around The Empire's censorship. She later found that like the Jedi, she was Force-Sensitive, and while in the series she struggles with her talents, years after it is concluded she becomes part of Luke Skywalker's Jedi Order.

Yakuza Kiwami 2 has a substory about Sugano, a former fanboy who became the new director for the Yakuza Sunset film franchise and initially showed enthusiasm into making Yakuza Sunset 3, only for it to be lambasted by the fans and he considers quitting over this. Kazuma Kiryu, a semi-retired yakuza himself, watches the movie and praises his music direction and poignant interpersonal character drama, then helps to improve in the areas of action and accuracy about yakuza customs, while encouraging him to stick to his strengths and not live in the shadow of the previous director.

In The Venture Brothers, Monarch Henchman 21 obviously longs to be one of these. Very closely gets there when he discovers a prototype lightsaber among Dr. Venture's yard sale. He buys it (with his boss' money) and subsequently challenges Dr. Venture's badass bodyguard Brock Samson to a fight, only to find out the "lightsaber" is just a hologram. Such is life in the Venture universe.

Liberty Lad from Freedom Force starts off as an obnoxious Loony Fan that follows the heroes around and needs to be protected in a quasi-escort mission. Eventually, he ends up taking a bullet for his hero that possesses superhuman endurance and is largely immune to bullets, gets a magical operation, and turns into Liberty Lad.
Dwight Arrow, AKA Bullet, has always loved the comics of his favorite hero Sky King, a Jet Pack-wearing Badass Normal from The '40s. This inspired him to join the US Air Force and become a jet fighter pilot, the self-styled "Fastest Man in the Sky". After getting hit with Energy X and getting Super-Speed, he finally has a chance to become a superhero like his idol. For bonus points, he ends up going back in time and helping the Sky King get his jetpack working for the first time (by using the information from the comic books).

Lt. Col. Mitchell from Stargate SG-1 can be considered such and is sometimes actually referred to as Lt. Col. Fanboy in fannish circles. He has memorized all their mission reports and will occasionally recite passages at top speed. He is known to have had the dream of joining SG-1 to learn from them but was instead given leadership of said team after being shot down saving their lives, and Major General Jack O'Neill, the original leader of SG-1, promising Mitchell any command he wants if he's successful in his physical therapy. Double subverted in that when Lt. Col. Mitchell first received command of SG-1 he merely inherited the group's name and its TO&E, all the original members which he idolized had moved on to other things at that point. He managed to convince most of them to come back though. Which is probably why the other SG-1 members didn't mind him taking over the team (not that Jackson or Teal'c, being non-military, could've been put in command anyway, and Lt. Col. Carter didn't return to the team until months after Mitchell arrived). In addition, the job isn't quite perfect as Daniel and Teal'c are often annoyed by his relative inexperience. Said inexperience has also led to him receiving more than his fair share of scaths during his time on the team.

The Drakengard 3 character Accord is a robot sent back from the future to record historical events. She loves her job. So much, in fact, that she grows to sympathize with The Heroine and manipulate the timeline towards a better ending for her. In Accord's spare time, she tries to mimic the weapon stories that are a staple of the series.

On Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, Nog is a fan of the elite Space Cadet group Red Squad, having wanted to join them when he was at Starfleet Academy. His dream comes true in "Valiant" when Red Squad rescues him and Jake with their own warship (the titular Valiant) and Cadet-turned-Captain Watters makes Nog their chief engineer for a mission to locate and destroy a Dominion battleship. The mission proves to be a complete failure—the Valiant is destroyed with Nog, Jake, and Red Squad member Collins being the only survivors.

Kasumi as well.

Batman seems to attract ascended fans, despite his constant efforts to keep "amateurs" out of "his "town. Many of his fellow Bat-Family crimefighters were not actively recruited or trained by him. Rather, they became involved on their own and were absorbed into the larger Bat-Family afterwards.
Barbara Gordon, the original Batgirl (Not counting Bette "Bat-Girl" Kane), was dressing up in a costume for a Halloween party when she stumbled into crimefighting. Prior to this, she was either disinterested in costumed adventuring or was planning to emulate different superheroes (different continuities as Batgirl: Year One give different backstories, but most at least agree that, whatever her specific plans were, they did not involve bats). That first encounter earned her the label "Batgirl" and she was automatically associated with Batman in the public consciousness. Only her subsequent refusal to stop got Batman involved in training and working with her.
Tim Drake also demonstrates this trope. In his origin story, he deduces that Dick Grayson must be Robin because of a signature move they both use, spends several years of his childhood stalking and photographing Robin and Batman, and finally confronts Dick and then Bruce Wayne, insisting that "Batman needs a Robin" when Bruce is endangering himself with recklessness in the wake of Jason Todd's murder.
Batman: The Dark Knight Returns: Carrie Kelly, who gets the job as Robin after buying the costume and forcing Batman to let her help return Gotham to its former glory.
Batwoman also made the leap from unaffiliated hero to partner. She was already actively engaged in crimefighting on her own, explicitly emulating Batman's theme and code despite having never worked for, trained with, or been authorized by Batman. It was only after she had been patrolling Gotham City for several weeks that she encountered Nightwing and cooperated with him to combat the Religion of Crime. He later gave her a "real" Batarang as a gift, and afterwards, she is shown working and sharing information with Batman.
Stephanie Brown went from spoiling her father's crimes and becoming the Spoiler to coming into the Batcave with her own Robin costume to Batgirl. Despite nearly everyone telling her to quit.
In Harley's Little Black Book, it's revealed that Harley Quinn of all people is a massive Wonder Woman fangirl, and has been since childhood. She even has a hidden shrine to Wonder Woman in her closet.
Batman himself is an ascended fanboy, although for meta reasons. In the first Batman comic, the film he goes to see with his parents is The Mark of Zorro, a character that strongly inspired him.

Phineas and Ferb has Irving, a clear fanboy who seems to have perfect knowledge of the two brothers adventures and catchphrases... to the point that one must ask how the hell he could possibly know so much about the show's history. He started as a one-off character but is starting to appear almost as much as Phineas and Ferb's other friends. It's been extended to the point that it's been revealed he's had hidden cameras all over Danville, chronicling their adventures, including the first one.

Noa Izumi from Patlabor yearned for joining the Special Vehicles Unit because she was such a Mecha Show fangirl her dream was piloting a giant robot, even if she knew Labors were not at all like Mazinger Z, Getter Robo or Mobile Suit Gundam. Still, she got pretty disappointed when she was told that no, a Labor does not fly.

A twisted version of the trope occurs in The Flash (2014), similar to the newer comic books of Flash: In the future, Eobard Thawne was a great fan of Barry Allen/The Flash and was inspired to become a speedster himself. Once he finds out he is destinied to become Barry's Arch-Enemy, the Reverse-Flash, he rolls with it.

How exciting it was for her when a magical envoy named Venalita offered her exactly just that, transforming Utena into a magical girl herself. Problem is, Venalita conveniently did not inform Utena on which side she would be fighting for...

A lampshade is hung on this to some extent in Galaxy Quest; early in the film, Tim Allen, as the star of a Star Trek-styled TV show, yells at an enthusiastic fan asking questions about minutiae of the show: "It's not real! None of it is real!" Later on, when it all turns out to be real, their lives are saved by calling on the fan's knowledge.
Also the entire Thermian race wears the Hat of Fandom for the Show Within a Show. A specific Thermian, Laliari, also appears at the end of the movie in the credits for its relaunch.
Guy Fleegman, who played a Red Shirt in the show during its original run, seems to be a major fan of the show as well and is the emcee for the Galaxy Quest convention. He not only gets to join the rest of the cast for their actual space adventure but he also gets to be part of the show's reboot.

This is the entire concept of the 80s cartoon series Captain N: The Game Master. Kevin Keene was a huge Nintendo gamer when he gets sucked into his TV while playing Mike Tyson's Punch-Out!!. He finds out that he is the hero Trapped in TV Land and he works alongside some of his favorite game legends, like Kid Icarus, Simon Belmont, Link, Bayou Billy, and Mega Man.

Even more with Butters. He starts in Dead Beat (book 7) as a 90-pound Jewish nerd coroner and polka fan that tried to join the police and the army but never got to because he was not physically up to par. As of Skin Game (book 15), he is a great magical theorist and can create magical objects even though he has no magic himself, defended Chicago Batman-style while Harry Dresden and Molly Carpenter were unable to, and ends up becoming a Knight of the Cross when he grabs the broken Fideiacchius and it turns into the Lightsaber of Faith. Thus becoming an Ascended Fanboy from two universes. He is a Jedi Knight of the Cross, you see...

In Free Enterprise, two friends are obsessed sci-fi fans who are pushing 30. One day, they meet their idol William Shatner. That first meeting ends up destroying their ideal Captain Kirk (especially when he starts rambling about a one-man Julius Caesar musical). By the end, though, both grow up and are shown filming this very movie with William Shatner playing himself.

In the final episodes of Bamboo Blade, Tama and Rin both achieve Promoted Fangirl status when they get to act in an episode of their favorite toku show, Blade Braver. They end up taking the position a little too excitedly and completely break away from the script. They get small parts in the movie, in fact, and Tama derails it by instead of being a schoolgirl running scared from Rin's 'Shinaigirl' she picks up a dropped shinai and fights back. It goes on for a while before they're stopped.

In Teen Titans (2003), the meta-tastic villain Control Freak is the Titans' self-proclaimed Number One Fan. He is a caricature of the stereotypical lank-haired, overweight geek, complete with overfondness for lightsabers and trenchcoats. One of his two feature episodes is chock-full of fandom references, up to and including online ship-wars. Control Freak is also tremendously disappointed in one of these episodes to discover that the Titans East (a group of C-listers he's never even heard of before) are substituting for the "real" Titans while they're away on a long-term mission, and thus the gadgets he'd designed specifically to challenge the Titans were wasted. As the Titans East have completely different powers, he escapes and comes up with new weapons to fight them... and becomes a fanboy of the Titans East as well once they defeat him. He also becomes disappointed when he finds out that the Teen Titans don't even consider him an actual villain when he discovers their list of villains and doesn't find himself listed but instead finds The Puppet King's name- a villain they had only encountered once.

The Gundam franchise has a few examples:
Subverted by young Chang in Mobile Fighter G Gundam, who painfully finds out that Falling into the Cockpit of a Gundam isn't how he thought it would be.
A rather disturbing version in Mobile Suit Gundam SEED: Clotho Bauer is a videogame nut and psychotic criminal who, along with Shani Andras and Orga Sabnak, was made a Psycho for Hire Tyke Bomb and Gundam pilot. Heck, Clotho even yells videogame quotes in the midst of battle!
Tragically played with in Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Destiny. Meer Campbell was a Naïve Everygirl who fangirled the Idol Singer Lacus Clyne and had a similar singing voice, so she often sang her songs. She was later scouted by Durandal's people, who offered her the chance to become Lacus's Body Double after she goes into retirement; Meer immediately accepted, thinking she could finally do something for the people who need Lacus's support... but as the series progressed, Meer developed *serious* mental and emotional issues, which later brought her her downfall.
Another would be Takuya Irei from Mobile Suit Gundam Unicorn: an Ordinary High-School Student slash Mobile Suit Otaku. By the time he was rescued by the Nahel Argama after escaping the battle at Industrial 7, he got a chance to put his engineering skills to good use as one of the ship's mechanics, to the point that he came up with the titular mech's Mid-Season Upgrade.
And then there's Graham "GUNDAM, I LOVE YOU!" Aker.

The Death Note fanfic, Story Of The Century could be looked at as a subversion and deconstructtion of this trope. OC and First-Person Peripheral Narrator, Erin, is an amateur journalist with a fondness for stories and movies, particularly of the thriller variety, who is studying abroad and looking for a story that will cement her reputation or lack thereof. She gets her wish…by getting dragged into the Kira case against her will by L himself after she sees things that would threaten the confidentiality L is trying to maintain for the investigation if she told anyone. She watches the rest of the case unravel, and when not bombarded by the shock that accompanies each turn and twist in the plot (particularly the actions that other characters [mostly L] take), or frustrated with her inability to stop the madness, whatever contributions she does make, she ends up regretting. By the end of the story, she is seen struggling with what sounds like PTSD, unable and unwilling to share the story of L’s and Kira’s battle with anyone. Although she does end up keeping a secret journal in which she spills everything, presumably for the purpose of working out her issues in private. Not long after finishing, she burns the notebook, with no one any wiser. Later, she and Matsuda (and by extension, the surviving members of the task force) find each other again online after a period of separation.

New Warriors:
Justice (formerly Marvel Boy) from the New Warriors and later The Avengers. In fact, most of his tenure with the Avengers either consisted of him fanboying over getting to work with A-listers like Captain America or berating himself over not measuring up to his childhood idols.
Hindsight Lad managed to track down the Warriors' secret HQ and blackmailed his way onto the team with his knowledge of several of their secret identities. He later earned a legitimate place on the team with his fact-finding skills. Much later, he betrayed the surviving Warriors by secretly leaking several of their identities to an already enraged public, out of a sense of betrayal. This led to one former Warrior being beaten and hospitalized by an angry mob. (Why he felt betrayed or why he'd take such a drastic step to "get even" is never explained adequately. Or explained at all, for that matter.)

Batman himself is revealed to be one in Batman: The Animated Series episode "Beware The Gray Ghost". As a kid, Bruce used to watch episodes of the superhero TV series called The Gray Ghost with his father, and this was an influence on his decision to become a superhero. Batman reveals this to the actor who played Gray Ghost (voiced by Adam West), who expresses relief that the show did some good in the world.

Animorphs features an Ascended Fanboy of God games. That is, of course, The Elimist. Also the campers from The Resistance, who are Star Trek fans on their yearly camp out to look for aliens or something. Not to mention Erek.

In A Hero Forged, Iron Man is just a fictional character, Luz having been introduced to the comics at a young age and has seen the film adaptations. Within a week on the Boiling Isles, Luz manages to create her first fully-functional Powered Armor, an AI to run it and a new, alternative power-source to run it, essentially making her her own universe's answer to an Iron Man-esq hero like Ironheart.

By the time he was rescued by the Nahel Argama after escaping the battle at Industrial 7, he got a chance to put his engineering skills to good use as one of the ship's mechanics, to the point that he came up with the titular mech's Mid-Season Upgrade.

My Hero Academia:
Izuku Midoriya is a huge fan of superheroes despite being part of the 20% of the population not born with powers. He ends up becoming the apprentice and successor to All Might, the hero he admires most, after All Might grants him powers. He even achieves his dream of becoming "the greatest hero of all" which he reveals near the start of the story, with him explaining his life story on how he did so.
All For One grew up reading comic books and manga, but unlike his brother, who admired the heroes, he admired the Maou the Demon King-esque villains, and hated how the heroes would always win. When he gained his powers, he became a supervillain, modeling himself after the villains of his favorite stories and declaring he would create a world where the villains win.

Renge from Ouran High School Host Club is a huge otaku who came to Ouran in the first place because Kyouya resembles a character from a dating sim that she obsesses over. She is a part of a romantic comedy, even if Kyouya's not her prince and she isn't the heroine, and she has a blast with the Host Club. Kirimi is too, in a way, despite being a little girl ("reverse harem", indeed).

Odd Squad:
Olive is an absolutely huge fan of the Burly Bears, a local sports team who plays in a wide variety of sports from basketball to hockey. So when Coach Roberts comes to Precinct 13579 as a client and she lays eyes on him for the first time, she's understandably ecstatic and throws any semblance of her usual serious and stern demeanor out the window. From there, it's a snowball effect — the rest of the players of the Bears basketball team are brought to the precinct where Olive gets to meet them and get their autographs, she and Otto are given two tickets to tomorrow's game as a thank-you for helping the team, and to top it all off, she gets to play in the game itself as one of the players, using her hand-stitched #99 jersey to cure the Bears of their bad luck and lead the team to a win against the Rambunctious Rams — their first win in a while. The episode "Disorder in the Court" would later have her become the personal student of Coach Roberts, who gives her javelin lessons.
On a similar note, Otto is a huge fan of Soundcheck, a boy band akin to the likes of One Direction who sing Silly Love Songs chock-full of Word Salad Lyrics. He manages to become an ascended fanboy twice — once in "Soundcheck", where he took the place of Danny T. and recorded a music video for "Gonna Add One", and another in "Soundcheck Part Deux", where he gets to perform with all four band members at a concert, along with Olive (who, herself, isn't a fangirl, but employs the "if you can't beat 'em, join 'em" philosophy and takes part in the concert anyway).
Jeremy, a client whom the Odd Squad Mobile Unit helps in the aptly-named episode "Jeremy", is a big fan of them and wishes to join them. After helping to stop Monsieur Papier-Mache, he gets his wish when Opal decides to recommend him to the Odd Squad Academy.
Deconstructed in "Monumental Oddness". Omar's love and passion for traveling the world and collecting souvenirs causes him to earn a spot in the travel magazine The Shmumbertimes giving a top-25 list of his favorite monuments, which, in turn, leads him to be invited to speak at the 19th Annual Snowglobe Convention. However, it isn't just the heroes and innocent citizens who know about his fame — villains do too, as evidenced by Stu Venir, a villain who uses Omar's list to wreak havoc around the world and steal monuments by turning them into keychains.

Ultimate Spider-Man: The first Spider-Man, Peter Parker, was a fan of both The Ultimates and most genius people (including in-universe genius, like Tony Stark and Charles Xavier). Miles Morales, the second Spider-Man, is the reverse: he was raised by a superhero-hating father and never paid much attention to heroes and villains. Then when he gets his powers, he gives himself a crash course in the superhero world and retroactively becomes a fan of Peter Parker and vows to honor Peter's memory as the second Spider-Man.

One Piece:
Luffy's entire backstory is essentially him fanboying over Shanks, then deciding he's going to be even better than him and putting that into action. He is more likely to find his opponents' destructive powers of doom SOOOO COOL than to find them terrifying. In particular, he seems to like mechas and giant robots (a trait even his shadow-zombie Oars shared). In an ultimate ascended fanboy moment, Mr. 3 made him a wax battle suit so he could hit his poisonous opponent without ending up like he had when he'd tried punching the guy with bare fists. He practically cries from happiness at the opportunity.
Masira and Shojo are huge fans of the story Noland the Liar, a fable where an explorer was convicted of lying about finding a city of gold. When they heard that Noland's descendant Montblanc Cricket was searching for proof the city of gold existed, they immediately appointed themselves Cricket's helpers, using their own pirate crews to search the ocean, because Noland claimed the city probably sunk under the sea. After Luffy proves that the city of gold ended up in the sky, they all decide to search for another myth.
Arc Villain Hody Jones was a huge fan of the Big Bad of Cocoyasi Village Arc, Arlong, and the Sun Pirates when he was younger.
In a Real Life example, The Rootless, the band who created One Day, the 13th opening, wanted to do an opening for One Piece since they started.
Bartolomeo is not only a sociopathic asshole who may be worse than Eustass Kid but also a massive fanboy of Luffy ever since Loguetown, having followed Luffy's journey from then on to Marineford before finally setting sail himself and quickly as assigned his own bounty of 150 million Berries. And now he's one of the captains in the "Straw Hat Grand Fleet", a group of pirate captains who after teaming up with the Straw Hats against a common enemy decided they were becoming Luffy's followers whether he agrees to it or not, and his bounty went up to 200 million.

Metal Gear Solid:
Subverted with Otacon, a lonely Otaku who is determined to become one of these by building himself a real-life Humongous Mecha like in the anime he loved — of course, it turns out that the mecha is going to be a new type of nuclear weapons platform and he'd let his desire to live in fiction overshadow his logic. And then it's Double Subverted when Otacon ends up becoming the sidekick of an action hero-esque soldier and ends up living the otaku fantasy after all.
Otacon's the most obvious, but this actually applies to most of the cast. Ocelot is a Spaghetti Western Otaku who was modelled after Lee Van Cleef, can do ridiculous gunplay tricks with his revolver and pull off complicated Man With No Name-style backstabbing Batman Gambit, and wears spurs all the time. Major Zero is a James Bond fanboy who is also a British spy going by an initial codename ("O") and ends up masterminding a Cold War assassination gambit to kill another superspy. Snake makes various references to movies throughout the games, even giving his name as Iroquois (meaning "rattlesnake") Pliskin at one point, and he's based heavily on Eighties Action Hero characters. The cutest example is probably Little John, a little boy who loves ninja manga and sci-fi about robots, and discovers at the end of Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots that his dad is a robot ninja. Score.
Raiden is a complicated example that plays the trope dead straight and deconstructs it from every possible angle.
As seen in codec with Kevin in Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance, he recounts his history with Snake to his friends in Maverick, calling Snake as the hero of Outer Heaven uprising, Zanzibar Land disturbance, Shadow Moses incident, Big Shell incident, and his contribution in stopping Liquid Ocelot's insurrection. He also mentions that he was the best combat soldier Raiden had ever seen. Ends up getting teased as a Snake fanboy, though mostly out of disappointment no one else working at Maverick got to meet him.
Raiden's history doing VR training is analogised to being a video gamer; he is placed into a recreation of the first game, in an attempt to turn him into a main character of a video game with no real qualities other than hyper-competent obedience. The only reason he gets out of the simulation with any part of himself alive is his love of Solid Snake, the kind of love a video gamer has for their favourite character in the story of a game. And he gets to go Back-to-Back Badasses with him and eventually become one of the few people Snake considers a true friend!
This is invoked in Revengeance, where it's specified that as part of dealing with what happened to his body and identity after 4, Raiden got really into samurai movies and started looking to samurai philosophy to express his feelings about his life.
Raiden's movie fanboyism, however, started out far darker. As a child soldier, he was forced to watch 1980s action movies ("the kind with macho guys and big guns") with the goal of making him want to be just like those characters. Presumably, at some point in his life, it was working.

Final Fantasy:
Cloud Strife from Final Fantasy VII: He starts out as a fan of the legendary Sephiroth who goes out to join the same organization that made the Super Soldiers of whom Sephiroth is a part, spends a lot of time delusionally thinking he made it to Super-Soldier rank, and somehow ends up leading the only group that can save the world from a now even more powerful Sephiroth.
According to the Ultimania guide, as a child Seifer Almasy from Final Fantasy VIII saw a movie about a knight protecting a sorceress, which inspired both his "romantic dream" of becoming a sorceress's knight and his decision to train with the gunblade. The hero of the movie was played by Laguna Loire, the father of Seifer's rival Squall Leonhart.
Prince Noctis of Final Fantasy XV is a fan of the Assassin's Creed series, which in Eos is based off of a figure of myth from Lestallum. In the Assassin's Festival DLC event, when the Niflheim Empire attacks Lestallum looking for him during the festivities, he ends up defeating the Niffs with a Lucian twist on Assassin warfare.

Shin Super Robot Wars: Ryusei Date is a Humongous Mecha otaku who pilots the machines he's admired so much. In Original Generation, he gains an Evil Counterpart, Tenzan Nakajima. Tenzan, however, is a deconstruction of this trope as, unlike Ryusei, who grows up and understands the situation he's in while holding on to his hobbies, Tenzan is lost between fantasy and reality, his last words he can just hit continue and his HP will be restored and he can rule the world once he level grinds enough.

In Cinders and Ashes: the Chronicles of Kamen Rider Dante, Hoshi and Tachibana are both fans of Kamen Rider and have worked on a fanfic and comic (respectively) featuring the eponymous rider. Tachibana gets this two-fold by Hoshi endorsing his comic as a successor to his fanfic and by being recruited by the government to write for Dante's entry in the Elimination Chamber Festival. Hoshi has a more direct experience with this trope by outright becoming Dante, though it soon comes with the cold reality that he's to fight as Dante.

Hindsight Lad managed to track down the Warriors' secret HQ and blackmailed his way onto the team with his knowledge of several of their secret identities. He later earned a legitimate place on the team with his fact-finding skills. Much later, he betrayed the surviving Warriors by secretly leaking several of their identities to an already enraged public, out of a sense of betrayal. This led to one former Warrior being beaten and hospitalized by an angry mob. (Why he felt betrayed or why he'd take such a drastic step to "get even" is never explained adequately. Or explained at all, for that matter.)

However, she doesn't enjoy being one at first, as she understands the difference between admiring them on TV and actually being in life or death situations. She later accepts her calling because it allowed her to meet her best friends and she wants to help and protect them, plus being able to fly is a nice perk.

Otacon's the most obvious, but this actually applies to most of the cast. Ocelot is a Spaghetti Western Otaku who was modelled after Lee Van Cleef, can do ridiculous gunplay tricks with his revolver and pull off complicated Man With No Name-style backstabbing Batman Gambit, and wears spurs all the time. Major Zero is a James Bond fanboy who is also a British spy going by an initial codename ("O") and ends up masterminding a Cold War assassination gambit to kill another superspy. Snake makes various references to movies throughout the games, even giving his name as Iroquois (meaning "rattlesnake") Pliskin at one point, and he's based heavily on Eighties Action Hero characters. The cutest example is probably Little John, a little boy who loves ninja manga and sci-fi about robots, and discovers at the end of Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots that his dad is a robot ninja. Score.

Sasuke of Ikemen Sengoku is a history buff of Japan's Sengoku Period who idolizes many of the famous Sengoku warlords, especially Ieyasu Tokugawa. When a wormhole sends him back in time to that very same Sengoku period, he can barely restrain himself from BSODing with fanboy glee whenever he crosses paths with one of these warlords in spite of him working on the opposite side of most of them. One hilarious scene in his route has him rope the female main character into chasing Ieyasu through town just to get his autograph (all while Ieyasu has no clue why some weird guy wants him to write his name down on a piece of paper).

Roo was usually a minor character in the early Winnie the Pooh animations, usually a bit player for his mother Kanga or Tigger. The Tigger Movie promoted Roo to Supporting Protagonist, with a large portion of the film focused on his Big Brother Worship of Tigger. Disney seemed to like this setup, as nearly all the Disneytoon Studios Pooh features afterwards gave Roo a large role in the main gang's antics, or even had him play the lead character.

Young Justice (2010):
Impulse comes across as a massive superhero fanboy, though his demeanor is at least partly meant to hide the fact that he comes from a Bad Future where most of Earth's superheroes are supposedly dead.
Inverted with Captain Marvel. Despite being an established member of the Justice League, he really wants to hang out with the members of Young Justice (because he's really just a kid, and thinks the teenage heroes are cool), making him something of a descended fanboy.

Franmalth of the Tartaros Guild in Fairy Tail is a huge fan of Hades and his guild to the point that he's shilling for Grimoire Heart as being the mightest dark guild back in its day. Lucky for Franmalth, he captures Hades' soul and gets all his powers for himself in addition to being able to take on a warped appearance of Hades.

The Incredibles: After Buddy Pine is rejected as a sidekick by Mr. Incredible, he becomes Syndrome, the Big Bad super-villain of the film. He proves to be frighteningly competent, largely from being smart, though this proves in part to be his undoing. Even as a supervillain, Syndrome continues to talk about Mr. Incredible as though he were a character in a favorite comic book, critiquing his actions in terms that will be very familiar to anybody who has ever been in a comic book store.

An entire country became this for the Eurovision Song Contest. Australia has been dedicated fans of the contest since 1983, so in 2015, as part of the contest's 60th anniversary, Australia was given a slot in the final and came in 5th place with Guy Sebastian. Because of the good result, they were brought back to compete for real in the semifinals for the 2016 contest, with Dami Im who took Australia all the way to second place. The EBU eventually made a deal with Australian network SBS for the country to stay in the Contest until 2023, with a further extension to be negotiated beyond that.

52: One of the primary plot points of the series was the Lex Luthor Everyman Project, which could artificially grant superpowers to normal people. This led to countless citizens gaining superpowers and creating their own hero identities (including, in one Splash Panel that included over a dozen of these new heroes, the superhero Poledancer). Eventually, Luthor creates his own super-team populated by these heroes with Eliza Harmon, who idolized the Teen Titans and all things speed. When she became Trajectory and a member of Luthor's new Infinity, Inc. she never stopped hoping to eventually join the Titans and dreamed of eventually becoming the new Kid Flash. Two pages later...

There's more. Computer/sci-fi geek Ethan from Power Rangers: Dino Thunder looked about to faint when he found out he'd be a Ranger, and Power Rangers Mystic Force's Chip has been shown to be a fan of superheroes and fantasy. The main Power Rangers Jungle Fury Power Trio also had big grins on their faces (or at least Theo did) when their mentor brought up the Rangers, just before they were presented with their own morphers. Subverted in Power Rangers S.P.D., where fanboy Boom is almost the only one who doesn't get a morpher at some point.

Princess Morbucks from The Powerpuff Girls was a huge fan of the Powerpuffs who was jealous that they wouldn't let her join their group. She responded by using her money to get her own suit built with the same powers and became a super-villain dedicated to defeating the Powerpuff Girls. She's been a pretty formidable opponent in some episodes.

Rainbow Dash's ultimate goal. She idolizes the pegasus stunt flyer group the Wonderbolts and aspires above all else to join them, ultimately succeeding in the sixth season, and eventually ends up in Spitfire's position as Captain by the time of the show's Distant Finale. Later, she learns that her favorite literature hero, Daring Do, is actually based on a real person, and gets to help her on a mission and get included in her next book.
Cheese Sandwich was inspired by Pinkie Pie to become a party pony just like her, and eventually became good enough to have an ultimately friendly rivalry with her and eventually married her.

Doctor Who:
In the Easter 2009 Special, "Planet of the Dead", Malcolm comes off as one of these — even applying for the job as UNIT's Scientific Adviser because he knew it was the position held by the Doctor way back when. He nearly dies of sheer bliss when he merely gets to talk to The Doctor over the phone.
Osgood, another UNIT scientist, from the 50th Anniversary special wears a scarf resembling the one that was (or that may actually be the original) trademark of the Fourth Doctor and to a lesser extent the show as a whole and has to be reminded to breathe into her inhaler when the prospect of meeting the Doctor and seeing the TARDIS comes up. It's likely UNIT's only requirement for hiring scientists is "must be a massive fan of the guy who used to have this job and occasionally still consults for us".
Grant Gordon in "The Return of Doctor Mysterio". A huge fan of comic books, he accidentally ingests a wish-granting gemstone, given to him by the Doctor. Fast-forward 24 years, Grant is a genuine superhero called the Ghost with Superman-like powers.

Extreme Ghostbusters:
Garrett was a die-hard fan of the originals, which was why he signed up for Egon's class. Roland also qualifies. Being a techie, he was quite fascinated by Ecto-1 and their hardware in general. And then they suddenly become the Ghostbusters themselves...
Kylie is perhaps a bigger fan than any of her teammates, loving anything about the supernatural and being a Hero-Worshipper to Egon Spengler, so much so that she was accused of being Hot for Teacher in an early episode. Really, the only person in the whole team that wasn't a fanboy of sorts is Eduardo who took Egon's class because he thought it was an easy grade.

Tragically played with in Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Destiny. Meer Campbell was a Naïve Everygirl who fangirled the Idol Singer Lacus Clyne and had a similar singing voice, so she often sang her songs. She was later scouted by Durandal's people, who offered her the chance to become Lacus's Body Double after she goes into retirement; Meer immediately accepted, thinking she could finally do something for the people who need Lacus's support... but as the series progressed, Meer developed *serious* mental and emotional issues, which later brought her her downfall.

The Talk has an example of this which is very rare for a talk show. Rapper Eve who was one of the many ladies auditioning on air to be Aisha Tyler's replacement got the job. She admitted it to her hometown's CBS news station that she is a fan of the show. Eve also has another one of those moments on February 9, 2018; Gina Rodriguez made a guest appearance to promote her series Jane the Virgin while the ladies of The Talk made a guest appearance on that night's episode "Chapter Seventy-Four" in which Eve admitted to Rodriguez she is a huge fan of Jane the Virgin and was honored to be in that episode with her fellow co-hosts.

Eddie Riggs from Brütal Legend. At the beginning of the game, he's a professional roadie bemoaning how modern music is progressively less and less metal... then he's Trapped in Another World where absolutely everything is based on heavy metal in the most over-the-top way possible.

Justice (formerly Marvel Boy) from the New Warriors and later The Avengers. In fact, most of his tenure with the Avengers either consisted of him fanboying over getting to work with A-listers like Captain America or berating himself over not measuring up to his childhood idols.

What If…? (2021): In the second episode, Korath is a big fan of Star-Lord (being T'Challa instead of Peter Quill) and acts like a geeky fanboy when he finally meets him, despite being on a mission by Ronan to stop him. He even asks to join the Ravagers, with T'Challa deciding to accept him after knocking him out. Korath spends the rest of the episode in awe that he's on a real mission with Star-Lord, and constantly says "Classic Star-Lord" when impressed by his plans.

Red Panda Adventures:
Kit Baxter starts out as a fan and is hired by the Red Panda's alter ego to be his chauffeur. One she's sure if who he is, and Kit blackmails her way into becoming his sidekick, the Flying Squirrel. Later in the series, the Red Panda and Flying Squirrel become husband and wife.
Harry Kelly starts out a little boy who gets caught up in one of the Red Panda's cases in "Into the Darkness". He gets sworn in as one of the Red Panda's agents and amply proves himself, but he doesn't truly ascend until the final chronological arc, in which he's a young man, just back from World War II and possessing superpowers of his own. At this point, the Red Panda is convinced to formally train Harry and he eventually becomes the Black Eagle, the Red Panda's successor as superhero of Toronto.

When Steve and Nat are on the run from a HYDRA-infiltrated SHIELD, he unhesitatingly offers to shelter them, and then later offers his help when the two Avengers decide to strike back.

Marvel 2099:
Subverted by Spider-Man 2099, Miguel O'Hara may have been inspired to use spider DNA in Alchemax's super-soldier experiments from reading about the original Spider-Man, but he didn't intend to test it on himself, and isn't happy with the results.
Also subverted with Hulk 2099: there's a crackpot group called the Knights of the Banner who worship the original Hulk and plan on exposing themselves to gamma radiation. And then Jon Eisenhart, who couldn't care less about Bruce Banner, comes blundering in and gets the effects.
Played straight with The Punisher 2099, who was obsessed with Frank Castle's war journal, and Thor 2099, who was a Thorite priest.

Flynn from Power Rangers RPM was someone who had a lot of moral principles and a deep admiration for superheroes but before the Venjix attacks he couldn't channel his desires in a meaningful way without getting into trouble. After risking his life to save a group of refuges trapped outside the dome he impressed the higher ups so much that he became the Blue Ranger. His father even lampshaded that after years of telling Flynn superheroes don't exist it turns out he was looking at one all along.

The Ultimates: Bruce Banner had always been a fan of Captain America, the skinny guy who was turned into a supersoldier by a tech that is now lost. Captain America has been found frozen in the Artic, he's somehow still alive, and it's Banner's task to direct the medical efforts to wake him up and heal him. Of course, Bruce's own efforts to replicate the formula that created Cap didn't go well for anyone.

The professor from the one-man-band short film Negadon: The Monster from Mars (See it, if just for the CGI alone.) After accidentally killing his daughter during a test run, he squirrels away the giant robot Miroku after the army is embarrassed by the disaster and cancels the project. Though he doesn't want to ever use the robot again because of the terrible memories, it has been kept in prime working condition, and certainly a few of its abilities couldn't have been thought up (or approved) by stuffy PR-hound regulation-happy army generals so he most likely continued work on it on his own free time. When normal military hardware proves ineffective against Negadon, he brings out the mothballed mecha. Also, he looks disturbingly similar to Otakon, only 30 years older.

Codename: Kids Next Door:
Numbuh 3's consistently obsessed with these stuffed animals called "Rainbow Monkeys" (which appear to be popular in general, but she's the most notable fan in the series) and anything related to them. In the Series Finale, it's revealed that, as an adult, she ultimately became the head of the Rainbow Monkey-corporation.note And the first thing she did once she took over the company was get rid of an amusement park themed around potty-training.
The premise of "Operation: R.E.C.R.U.I.T." centers around a KND superfan named Bobby who wants to join their ranks. Sector V accepts and puts him through an uncharacteristically rough Training from Hell. The end of the episode reveals that "Bobby" was really just The Interesting Twins from Beneath the Mountain in a Mobile-Suit Human, and they were attempting to infiltrate the Kids Next Door. Of course, Sector V had known all along.

Tragically subverted with Z-ONE from Yu-Gi-Oh! 5Ds, who reveres Yusei Fudo for his sheer determination against the odds. In his soon-to-be apocalyptic future, while researching any method possible to save humanity from the Meklord Emperor Genocide, Z-ONE discovers that the Meklord Emperors are responding to the peoples' greed and decides to create a headset device that will enable him to impersonate Yusei's identity and personality to guide the people away from their selfish desires. This initially works, but he doesn't have enough time to reach out to everybody on the planet and Ener-D starts spinning in reverse, resulting in the ruin of humanity which leaves him, Aporia, Antinomy and Paradox as the Last of Their Kind. He loses all hope in trying to change peoples' ways and resorts to attempting to travel back to the past and destroy Neo Domino City where Ener-D was discovered before the Genocide can occur, thus becoming Yusei's archenemy.

Deconstructed in the Warrior Cats spinoff storyline SkyClan and the Stranger. Sol's mother always got him and his siblings to behave by telling them stories of the Sky Warriors, which were the SkyClan cats from the days before the Clan was destroyed. Sol always loved the stories of the Sky Warriors. When his mom left him at the home of a crazy cat lady, he wished that he could become a Sky Warrior, because he thought that if he did, she would come back. After he grew up, he learned that SkyClan had been rebuilt, and wanted nothing more than to become one of its members. Leafstar, SkyClan's leader, let him join, but no matter how much he tried he didn't have what it took. She promised that she would let him become a warrior after he had proved himself, but Sol, fueled by his dreams from kithood, was impatient. To try to become a SkyClan warrior faster, he kidnapped Leafstar's kits, planning to "find" them after she realized they were missing and become a warrior because of it. Leafstar caught him, however, and exiled him, realizing that he had none of the qualities of a true warrior. Because of this, Sol turned against the Clans, and vowed to destroy their Code of Honor to prove that it was worthless.

Barbara Gordon, the original Batgirl (Not counting Bette "Bat-Girl" Kane), was dressing up in a costume for a Halloween party when she stumbled into crimefighting. Prior to this, she was either disinterested in costumed adventuring or was planning to emulate different superheroes (different continuities as Batgirl: Year One give different backstories, but most at least agree that, whatever her specific plans were, they did not involve bats). That first encounter earned her the label "Batgirl" and she was automatically associated with Batman in the public consciousness. Only her subsequent refusal to stop got Batman involved in training and working with her.

Webwork has a very dark example of this in Simon Leston, the new Squid Khan General. A huge H. P. Lovecraft fan while human (due to it appealing to his misanthropic nature), he has now transformed into an Eldritch Abomination himself.

MegaTokyo's Piro (the character, not the author avatar) is an Ascended Fanboy: he is currently dating the idolized voice actress of a character in one of the Dating Sims he's a fan of. He's also doing the art for the game now. Her fans actually hail him as an Ascended Fanboy at one point, electing him as their leader. Piro seems in equal parts terrified, sickened and proud, not least because their excesses are no worse than what he would have done in their position.

Most of the cast of Digimon Tamers are Ascended Fanboys: Takato, Henry, Kazu, and Kenta were all fans of the Digimon TV show and games before finding out that Digimon were real, and Takato's partner Guilmon is his fanart come to life. Rika was also a card game champion, but her focus on winning and apathy toward everything else made her more of an obsessive player than an actual fan of the franchise. Juri claimed to not like the card game, but was a closet fangirl and even had very rare cards.

Viewtiful Joe's title character is Captain Blue's biggest fan and grew up watching Blue's movies and collecting his action figures. Needless to say, he quickly accepted when Blue granted him powers and the chance to be the hero. And let's not even get started on his Squee at meeting the Tatsunoko heroes in Tatsunoko vs. Capcom. Nor his Squee towards the Marvel heroes in Marvel vs. Capcom 3.

Mage: The Awakening has a a sort of literal, deliberate, in-universe example of this in the Grimoire of Grimoires sourcebook: the Ancient Lands pentalogy, a five-book fantasy series that's wildly popular in unAwakened society, but also contains just enough actual magical knowledge that it's been known to Awaken the occasional Sleeper and teach them their first few spells. It was written by son of a Free Council mage who saw the Diamond orders as repressive, and the whole series is essentially a critique of their worldviews. The books and their fans are depicted in a fairly positive light; Mages who Awaken by reading the books tend to have idealistic, anti-authoritarian streaks that drive them to do great things.

Rhino the hamster from Bolt. To an even greater extent, Rhino's voice actor. Mark Walton, a storyboard artist, laid down a temporary "scratch voice" for the character of Rhino, with the assumption that a professional voice actor would later take the role. As the film moved further along, big-name actors were cast like John Travolta, Malcolm McDowell, and Miley Cyrus. But they couldn't find a professional actor who made a better Rhino than Walton; in the end, Disney ended up calling him back to record the lines professionally, resulting in one of the funniest breakout Disney characters of the decade.

In The Authorities, Albert has been a huge fan of Q, even since he first saw a James Bond film. That's right, while every other boy his age was dreaming of being a superspy, he was dreaming of inventing crazy gadgets and being one of the few guys to be able to tell Bond off without consequences. His current job involves designing and employing cutting-edge equipment for a private investigative team, financed by a tech billionaire. He also loves quoting his idol and is gleeful when someone plays along.

Ben Heckendorn of The Ben Heck Show fame ascended from pinball fanboy to full-fledged designer when he created the world's first indie pinball machine, the Bill Paxton Pinball. But his big break came when the Spooky Pinball podcast contacted him and commissioned him to design and prototype a comedy-horror themed pinball table, to be commercially sold. Thus America's Most Haunted was born and his ascension was complete.

As seen in codec with Kevin in Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance, he recounts his history with Snake to his friends in Maverick, calling Snake as the hero of Outer Heaven uprising, Zanzibar Land disturbance, Shadow Moses incident, Big Shell incident, and his contribution in stopping Liquid Ocelot's insurrection. He also mentions that he was the best combat soldier Raiden had ever seen. Ends up getting teased as a Snake fanboy, though mostly out of disappointment no one else working at Maverick got to meet him.

In Sidekicks, Barry is an asthmatic kid who has frequent vivid daydreams of fighting bad guys alongside Chuck Norris. He ends up pulling a The Karate Kid and learning martial arts from an old Chinese man. Even better, during the competition, they are one person short for their team. By sheer chance, the famous actor himself shows up as a celebrity guest. When an old rival annoys him enough, he agrees to join Barry's team to kick the jerk's ass. Barry is, understandably, ecstatic to fight alongside his hero for real.

Genshiken:
Several of the characters are like this, though of the more down-to-earth variety. The lot of them are college otaku, obsessed with video games, doujinshi, anime, and manga. As the story runs down to the end, one gets a job as a game designer, another as an assistant editor for a manga magazine, and a third as a manga author and artist, and a fourth is going to design school. They are all, also, quite Genre Savvy.

Luke Triton, in the Professor Layton games, is a variant on the trope. In Unwound Future, he remarks that he's a big fan of the Sherlock Holmes stories and has read them all many times... which makes his role as The Watson to the Professor's Holmes all the more fitting.

Silver the Hedgehog in Sonic the Comic – Online! grew up listening to stories of the legendary hero Tails and collected magazines of him. Eventually Silver himself began fighting Ilbis however it eventually was decided he should travel back in time seventy years to defeat Ilbis while he was (relatively) weak. Silver gets to meet his childhood hero Tails as a kit... However, it turns out the history books are wrong. Sonic was the hero, not Tails (who is more-or-less just a sidekick). Silver doesn't know of Sonic because record books fail to note him; he became a fugitive partway into Sonic the Comic Online. It turns out "Ilbis" is actually Super Sonic, Sonic's Superpowered Evil Side. Silver is considerably confused at the revelations.

Usagi in Sailor Moon plays with the concept. She was a fan of Codename: Sailor V for much of the early story, especially as she gains a best friend in Sailor V herself down the line, but being given her own superpowers doesn't stop her from just wanting to be normal.
In her episode debut, Makoto Kino beats up the Monster of the Week while declaring that she's a huge Sailor Moon fan. Soon enough, she transforms into Sailor Jupiter and becomes a lifelong friend to the Pretty Soldier herself.
