Heroic Willpower	comment	The worst has happened; The Hero has not only been infected by the Big Bad with the soul eating virus, but their determined resistance looks like it's about to finally peter out. Just as his friends, family, and significant other look on in growing horror as he becomes a monster and turns to eat them... he doesn't. Even though The Virus has their body and maybe even their mind, it doesn't have their heart or soul. Through sheer grit, or to protect a loved one, they manage to not only resist the lure of The Dark Side, but use Evil is Cool against itself. They may become far stronger than a typical Virus-afflicted, especially if young vampires/werewolves/monsters of that kind are weaker than old ones like the Big Bad and under their control. The hero who manages to reverse the curse and uses their newfound powers to fight the Big Bad and their Dragon, and beat them at their own game as a Vampire Refugee. Usually, doing so manages to break whatever curse they're under thanks to No Ontological Inertia â€” except when it doesn't. If so, or if they choose to stay infected to fight other monsters (as borderline Zombie Infectees) they end up Cursed with Awesome or become a Friendly Neighborhood Vampire pursuing the path of the Ascended Demon. The power up gained with Heroic Willpower sometimes manifests by becoming a One-Winged Angel or with a move up the Bishōnen Line, visually distinguishing them from rank and file infected. Incidentally, despite the name, this isn't exclusive to heroes; the Determinator is a classic villain archetype, after all. The internal struggle is often verbally indicated by the character gaining the Voice of the Legion, paired with physical and verbal tics like biting off each word in a loud (or even shouting) voice in a Punctuated! For! Emphasis! manner. When Played for Laughs the character will Lampshade this by saying something along the lines of "Must. Speak. Like. William Shatner!" A Sub-Trope of Heroic Spirit. Compare Heroic Resolve, Determinator (when the character is almost nothing but resolve and willpower), Hot-Blooded (when the character is nothing but resolve and willpower), Good Is Dumb, Deadly Upgrade, "I Know You Are in There Somewhere" Fight, and Intrinsic Vow. Contrast with Fight Off the Kryptonite and Monsters Anonymous. See also Clap Your Hands If You Believe, Cursed with Awesome, The Dark Side, Doomed Protagonist, Evil is Cool, No Ontological Inertia, Sheep in Wolf's Clothing, Test of Pain, Viral Transformation, and The Virus.

Heroic Willpower / int_10321784	comment	In Disgaea 4: A Promise Unforgotten, Valvatorez is the only character not to be infected with the A-Virus. He attributes this to his strength of will and sardines. In Disgaea 5: Alliance of Vengeance, Usalia has use of an extremely potent Superpowered Evil Side in the form of "Murmur of Rage" as a result of Majorita's curse, but after chapter 10-5, Usalia manages to use her own resolve against Majorita to forcibly somehow flip the curse into an Overload (a super power only Overlords can use), giving her instant access to the ability whenever she wants, with the ability to turn it off and on at her own command.

Heroic Willpower / int_1973b10a	comment	Revealed to be very important to a certain werehog in Sonic Unleashed. Sonic apparently has so much of this trope that he can practically guzzle down the power of an Eldritch Abomination yet be almost completely unaffected mentally. What's even more impressive is that he wasn't even aware that he was doing it. Makes you wonder how he would act if he had learned that just before the final boss, Eggman had shot down Tails' Biplane, and subsequently flipped his shit.

Heroic Willpower / int_2a8943c0	comment	Miraculous Ladybug has moments of this: In "Zombizou", Miss Bustier manages to become the first person to actually resist akumatization through sheer willpower, if only for a moment. In "Miraculer", ChloÃ© Bourgeois becomes the first person to successfully resist akumatization. In "Cat Blanc", Cat Noir manages to resist akumatization for a while before succumbing, a feat made more impressive by the sheer amount of emotional trauma he's suffering at that moment. In "Truth", Luka also briefly resists being akumatized, and even tells Marinette to run away as he's being transformed. In "Gang of Secrets", at Ladybug's urging, Alya breaks free of Shadow Moth's control after being akumatized, a feat that leaves the villain in disbelief. In "Gabriel Agreste", FÃ©lix Fathom successfully resists being akumatized much like ChloÃ©. What's notable about this is that unlike the other characters who have resisted or broken akumatization, he's the first one who hasn't been akumatized previously. In "Rocketear", Nino manages to break free from akumatization after being transformed when he finds out the reason for his unhappiness was a misunderstanding. In "Qilin", Sabine briefly resists being akumatized despite being angry at the injustice she's facing, and breaks free from it after Ladybug unlocks her handcuffs, which is all she wanted.

It's implied he was fighting it unconsciously the whole time (the narration points out his massive headache, stated to be an effect of fighting off the potion), but seeing Ginny while Romilda is groping him slams him out of it instantly. Madame Pomfrey is astonished when she's told that Harry fought free of the potion, rather than receiving an antidote or letting it wear off. Harry demonstrates this later when he fights off the allure of Fleur's mother when she attempts to seduce him, but he needs a considerable effort to pull this off and afterwards lacks the energy to resist Fleur's seduction when he actually wants to be with her.

Heroic Willpower / int_2fee008d	comment	In Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann main love interest Nia fights against her newly discovered Anti-Spiral purpose and allows Simon save humanity from the enemy's Extermination System. Further, even though she's a â€œvirtual life formâ€�â€”essentially an interdimensional Projected Woman with No Ontological Inertiaâ€”she defies this and continues to stay by Simon's side for some time even after the Anti-Spirals were blown to smithereens, essentially existing moment-by-moment through sheer willpower. The page for TTGL says this grows on trees in that world. This is false. It grows in everything with DNA. They call it Fighting Spirit/Spiral Power, and everything with a spiral to it has it or can be used to generate it. Yes, everything. Even That. Viral is a beastman, which means he was specifically designed not to generate any Spiral Power. He does it anyway through FIGHTING SPIRIT. Even when The Anti-Spiral traps the heroes in a labyrinth designed with the specific purpose to prevent them from ever generating Spiral Power again, they're able to break out by the sheer force of their willpower. All these examples can't help but make one wonder if she truly is gone for good...

Heroic Willpower / int_2ffcbd43	comment	In the Fire Emblem series, dragons who do not use a dragonstone to contain their power gradually become feral. In Fire Emblem Heroes, we're introduced to a version of Corrin, a half-dragon and the protagonist of Fire Emblem Fates, from an alternate timeline where she's implied to have killed Azura after turning into a dragon for the first time. As a result, she never received a dragonstone. She's on the brink of losing control every time she enters battle, but trying desperately not to give in. Berkut, a villain who gave into power willingly, accuses her of being weak and says that she must either learn to control that power or lose to it. Next time she talks to him, she agrees and tells him that she will do her best to control it. She ends this conversation by asking that if she loses control that he kill her himself. In a separate discussion, she asks that Kiran do the same thing.

He also seems to be nearly immune to the Imperius Curse, a strength few other character shows, and in one case fought off bodily possession by Voldemort himself. His resistance is explained as a combination of this trope and The Power of Love. Also subverted with the werewolf Remus Lupin, as (without the Wolfsbane potion) he cannot keep his mind when transformed and attacks his own friends.

Heroic Willpower / int_41671603	comment	In Batman: Hush, Superman is controlled by Poison Ivy's special Kryptonite blend of mind-control lipstick, leading to a big fight with Batman, who frantically stacks the deck by playing Superman's innate boy-scout tendencies against him—those base-level urges are so innate to Superman that Poison Ivy couldn't make him ignore them. The control is finally broken by a supreme burst of Heroic Willpower caused by Catwoman shoving Lois Lane off of a building. He works to improve this because his greatest fear is losing control. He has even learned techniques for fighting mind control. In Emperor Joker, Superman is initially the only person in the entire world who can actively fight off the Joker's Reality Warper powers- not only mind controlling people to be what they're not, but retroactively making it so they've always been this way. Similarly to the Hush example above, Superman's innate heroic instincts (in this case, Thou Shalt Not Kill) prove the key to regaining his memories. Additionally by the end of the whole ordeal, after Batman (as mentioned below, no slouch in this department himself) has been finally driven insane by the memories of the Joker's Cold-Blooded Torture, Superman saves him. By taking all of the memories into himself. The memories and experiences that broke the bat? He shrugs them off in less than two pages. Essentially, his willpower is strong enough to save them both! By the DC Rebirth era, Superman's willpower is so strong that he's able to resist forceful possession by Parallax (the same creature who possessed both Hal Jordan and Kyle Rayner and only possessed Supes to protect children it had kidnapped), but also hijack Sinestro's yellow Power Ring and trap Parallax in it.

Heroic Willpower / int_41b0198a	comment	The Dresden Files: This is one of Harry's defining characteristics. When infected with a copy of a Fallen Angel that tried to tempt him into evil, he spent years fighting the temptations that were confidently expected to destroy him, before eventually converting the copy to his own side. Harry becomes the Winter Knight. All throughout Cold Days, his psychopathic side threatens to slip out a terrifying number of times. He always snaps back within a few seconds and redoubles his efforts to suppress it. The Denarians are an evil version. All of them are possessed by fallen angels, and some of them continue to go by their mortal names, while other use those of their Fallen. If it's the latter, it's because the human spirit has been crushed to the point that they're little more than husks the Fallen operate through, while the others have retained their own agency. If a second set of glowing eyes appears over their own, it means that the Fallen within has taken at least partial control, something that often happens the moment a fight breaks out. The leader of the Denarians, Nicodemus, has never been seen like this, and rather than being transformed into a battle form like the rest, his Fallen Anduriel manifests as a Living Shadow. When he boasts that the Fallen now follow his designs, not only does he not get immediately smacked down, but his shadow pulses in time to his words, as though Anduriel were nodding along.

Heroic Willpower / int_43576f5	comment	This is the only reason Supernatural's world still exists. Shown by John in "Devil's Trap" when he is able to resist and trap the possessing Azazel for a moment. Later, he refuses to torture in hell to escape torture for one hundred years. For thirty years, Dean resisted Alastair's offer to escape torture in Hell by torturing other souls. In "The Magnificent Seven", he resists Lust's charms. Displayed by a demon-possessed Bobby in "Sympathy for the Devil" when he breaks the demon's hold just before it can kill Dean, and instead, stabs himself with Ruby's "kill-all" knife. Sam's a big invoker of this trope. In "My Bloody Valentine", through sheer willpower, he manages to stand in Famines presence without being completely consumed by his hunger for Demon Blood; Famine urges him to give in by offering his henchmen but Sam instead uses his powers to exorcise them, responding with a badass "No". In "Swan Song", he takes control of his body while the Devil is riding it just so that he can throw himself and the Devil into Hell's solitary confinement. In "The Man Who Knew Too Much", he drags himself to assist Dean and Bobby in the battle against Castiel and Crowley despite obviously suffering under the strain of his "hell memories". In "Road Trip", he kicks a possessing Gadreel out of his body after a mental beatdown. Castiel, after getting Drunk on the Dark Side, has a Heel Realization and manages to resist the evil inside himself long enough to ask Sam and Dean for help expel the souls inside of him back to Purgatory. It's too bad the Leviathans remain and take him over.

When he doesn't turn human again and the real vampire lord show up, he beats him too and finally regains his humanity.

In Carpe Jugulum, Granny Weatherwax pulls this one off with vampiric infection. An interesting twist is that she uses the blood connection to make the vampires weaker, rendering them unable to drink blood or harm humans and giving them an unnatural addiction to tea and cookies. In fact, it's a feature of every witch, even ones as soppy as Magrat, who manages to throw off the Elf Queen's Mind Rape. Sam Vimes is freakin' made of this trope. This happens to him in Men at Arms, and gets a metaphor too: "The pounding spirit of the gonne flowing up Vimes' arms met the armies of sheer stoneheaded Vimesness surging the other way." At the end of Jingo, he tells off one of the Ankh-Morporkian aristocrats while holding a burning coal in his hand.

Heroic Willpower / int_49a87cb3	comment	Zigzagged in Final Fantasy VII. The great war hero Sephiroth has an absurdly strong will which enables him to be in full control of his Super Serum-The Virus-induced powers. Unfortunately, he retains this once he's not heroic, allowing him to keep his sense of self after becoming submerged in The Lifestream and even use it to spread his will. The game's hero, Cloud, does not have a strong will and has a lot of unexamined self-loathing besides, making his sense of self-identity malleable, his goals and feelings open to Sephiroth's More than Mind Control, and meaning that when he is submerged in Lifestream he is overcome by its information and completely loses his mind - a willful villain and a hero with no will. Once Cloud understands this, he discovers his will and becomes immune to Sephiroth's control, cutting him to pieces in a spiritual battle when Sephiroth's dying spirit tries to take his mind down with him.

In fact, the Forsaken are all this trope. They've all got The Virus, but they keep themselves free of the Lich King's normal dominance over the Scourge. The Lich King was weakened at the time, of course, but its still impressive. Gunther Arcanus is something of a hero among Forsaken, as he was able to break free of the Lich King's control by himself. They credit him as a lich even though he isn't one. He's that badass. The final raid of Cataclysm, we have the boss Ultraxion. His first move is to drag everyone into a shadow dimension, which players must use the temporary ability 'Heroic Will' to break out of at specific times to avoid death.

She can also use this ability on others. Deconstructed when she fights Priscilla. The only way that Clare will have any chance of beating the latter is by fully awakening. However, her Heroic Willpower subconsciously prevents her from being able to unleash her maximum potential, resulting in an almost instant Curb-Stomp Battle that ends very badly for our intrepid heroine. Jean has just as much willpower as Clare, if not more. This is evident in her introductory scene, where she manages to withstand being tortured for hours on end while her comrades succumb to the pain and Awaken. Miria lampshades this when she says that Jean's being able to return to normal after her body had fully Awakened "must be due to an extraordinary strength of spirit" (though Clare's intervention certainly came in handy).

Compassion, Conviction, Temperance and Valor are ranked 1-5 based on how your character views them and acts on them, and you get a number of base Willpower points based on your highest Virtues. If you're trying to do something that fits a virtue, you can use Willpower to boost to your roll and it is one of the very few sources of extra dice for mortals. Exalted do not usually use it for this purpose as they just have magic, but some of the more powerful Charms incur a Willpower cost as well as Essence. Another use is resisting mental influence, where paying enough Willpower points can negate a More than Mind Control attempt. Finally, it can be used to resist the compunction to act upon those Virtues, but doing so incurs mental stress that will eventually result in a "Limit Break", where you either go catatonic or start acting out in overwhelming extremes of said Virtue or its opposite. No resisting that with Willpower of course, but going through does refresh your full supply of it.

Heroic Willpower / int_62894fec	comment	During one arc in the Giffen/DeMatteis run on Justice League of America, a street punk got his hands on Big Barda's Mega-Rod, her signature weapon. The Mega-Rod, forged on Apokalips, constantly sends out subliminal mind-control messages commanding that its wielder submit his/her will to Darkseid. By the end of the issue, the street punk was an emaciated slave living only to serve Darkseid. The fact that Barda is able to wield the Mega-Rod and can shrug off its mind-controlling properties speaks volumes of her levels of willpower. That's possibly why she became a Green Lantern in the Elseworlds story Another Nail.

Heroic Willpower / int_631805af	comment	Although not explicitly stated, Snake in Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots is running the entire game on this. He has the body of a 70 year-old with rather severe health problems, and as the game continues, he just ends up in even worse states (including getting stabbed, shot, electrocuted, burned, and more). Despite the incredible handicaps that he has to overcome, he is a better soldier than everyone he meets. Hideo Kojima stated that one of the themes of the game was experience vs training: while the soldiers Snake encounters have been trained well and have a lot of theoretical knowledge, Snake has years of experience, which allows him to prove superior. A (somewhat) villainous example is The End from Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater. He's more than 100 years old and he's clinically dead most of the time; the only reason he isn't actually dead is because he wants a final battle, and decided that Snake will do.

This implies that it is possible to revive the other revenants to the side of good, but since Quan Chi brainwashed them to the point that they only have pure hatred and was Killed Off for Real by Scorpion, being restored to the side of good is now a difficult process with Raiden gone rogue now.

Heroic Willpower / int_76686539	comment	In Mass Effect, Fai Dan is the only member of Zhu's Hope who is able to fully resist the Thorian's mind control. In fact, once the Thorian starts to successfully turn him in an attempt to kill Shepard, he uses the last of his free will to kill himself rather than be a slave. Also from Zhu's Hope is Ian Newstead. Upon first meeting him, he appears to be a rambling lunatic who just ran off to the sewers and randomly seems to double over in agony during plain conversation (which renders him unable to talk about . . . something). However, when you find out how being under the Thorian literally makes rebellious thought a horrible torture, and controls people via psychic Pavlovian Conditing, Ian suddenly becomes one of the most strong willed persons in the series for deliberately and continuously defying the Thorian as well as provoking it to hurt him so he knows that he's still himself. Villain examples: The first game's baddies, Benezia and Saren, are also subjected to this. Benezia is able to resist Sovereign's mind control for a short time during her confrontation to inform Shepard that they aren't doing this of their own free will. Saren can be talked into a Heel Realization in the beginning of the final fight where he will become lucid for a moment and shoot himself before falling again so that the Sovereign won't be able to complete its plan through him, thanking Shepard with his last words. Subverted hilariously in Mass Effect 2, when Morinth suggests that since Shepard has the willpower to resist her attempts to enthrall them, they may have the willpower to resist her mind-frying sex. Turns out Shepard does not! Liara speculates that this was how Shepard was capable of withstanding the effects of the Prothean Beacon in the first game, which on a Weak-Willed individual would most likely have destroyed their mind entirely. During their mind-melds, the sheer volume of information being depicted by the vision actually leaves Liara visibly exhausted after each attempt, while Shepard actually appears to become more resistant to its effects. The more someone is exposed to Reaper tech, the more that tech enthralls them to the Reapers' will. Despite explicitly being the biggest threat to the Reapers, and despite the fact that they frequently try to indoctrinate Shepard, Shepard never shows signs of indoctrination. The Leviathans even comment on this after Shepard shakes off their mind control and gives them a piece of his/her mind. Shepard's Heroic Willpower is what they determine makes the Reapers fear him/her, and they are convinced that this cycle has a good shot at ending the cycles of Reaping, and lend aid.

When first introduced, her gem is so damaged that it's basically in three pieces. Despite this being a setting where her gem is her real body and its complete shattering would mean her death, and compared to Amethyst's cracked gem in 'An Indirect Kiss', which at worst stretched to barely a third of her gem, yet caused her to speak backwards while her body distorted itself uncontrollably, Lapis was indistinguishable from a whole gem. She held herself together despite the extensive damage, only losing some of her full strength and still retaining enough to take control of the entire planet's oceans. She manages to up herself in "Jailbreak" when she takes control of her and Jasper's fusion Malachite from Jasper and drag the two of them into the depths of the sea, managing to keep the fusion together despite Jasper actively trying to break it to escape. Keep in mind it was established earlier that even the slightest disagreement between two Gems can force even a stable fusion to end, yet Lapis was able to force their unstable form together regardless of Jasper's struggles to end it. And then, for the grandest example of all, there's "Reunited." Blue and Yellow Diamond crash Ruby and Sapphire's wedding to destroy the Crystal Gems. Blue unleashes her Emotion Bomb powers by summoning the grief and anguish she's felt for millennia about Pink Diamond's death, forcing every other Gem in the vicinity to feel it and become paralyzed with sadness and pain. When Lapis shows up to help, Blue summons an even stronger emotional wave...and Lapis brushes it off.

Initially, he had a hard time accepting this handicap (which would usually be an obvious death sentence for a music career), and even wrote the Heiligenstadt Testament which he mentioned losing the will to live. He got better, though, and went on to compose his later masterpieces including the 3rd (Eroica), 5th (Fate), 6th (Pastoral), and 9th (Ode to Joy) Symphonies, Moonlight Sonata, a Violin Concerto, and his only opera Fidelio, and he is now considered as the pioneer of Romantic Music.

The only way to save oneself was to avoid telepathic contact with anyone, an almost impossible feat for a race that maintained low-level esper contact constantly. J'onn survived because he was able to hold out the longest without telepathic contact, tragically leaving him as the last man standing.

She was originally one of the Magna-Ge, the "star orphans" who abandoned the creation of Mundus (the mortal plane) part way through along with their "father", Magnus. However, Meridia was banished from Aetherius for "consorting with illicit spectra", implied to be the Daedra. Considered a "trespasser" in Oblivion by the Daedra, Meridia, through sheer force of will, "bent and shaped" the rays of Magnus to create her own Daedric realm in Oblivion and became one of the Daedric Princes. In Skyrim, Paarthurnax notes that as a dragon, he is driven by his nature to dominate and destroy (doubly so since his name is draconic for "Ambition, Overlord, Cruelty") and that it takes great willpower on his part to not revert to his past self.

That's why Magellan had to use a bajillion different poisons on him instead of just one, meaning no medical antidote would work.

While he is very confused by Chloe's complete immunity, he does admit that sometimes it doesn't work on "complicated" people. A few times people have been shown struggling against the compulsion enough for Lucifer to make note of it, but they ultimately give in. Everyone except for Linda, the psychotherapist Lucifer meets in the first episode. While she is clearly affected, she is able to resist, and Lucifer has to make a deal for the information they need instead. Dan proves to be the only person who's able to resist the Hate Plague effect of Azrael's blade. The blade pushes humans to take Disproportionate Retribution on those who slight them, no matter how minor the grievance is. When Dan gets his hands on the blade he confronts Lucifer but eventually admits that Lucifer isn't who he's really angry at. The real problems in Dan's life are things he did to himself which allows him to fight the blade's drive to attack others.

Heroic Willpower / int_a81325d3	comment	Final Fantasy: Final Fantasy V deals with the dark side of this. Despite the loss of her Grandfather, Krile is driven entirely by willpower, refusing to take breaks from her quest, and it is her will (as the Hero of Hope) that is able to restore the World after it has been lost to the Void. However, once her heroic goal is fulfilled, she completely loses the will to live and remains in the Void, even as the others beg her to return to the World. She is eventually saved, but it's only by the will of her grandfather from beyond the grave. Zigzagged in Final Fantasy VII. The great war hero Sephiroth has an absurdly strong will which enables him to be in full control of his Super Serum-The Virus-induced powers. Unfortunately, he retains this once he's not heroic, allowing him to keep his sense of self after becoming submerged in The Lifestream and even use it to spread his will. The game's hero, Cloud, does not have a strong will and has a lot of unexamined self-loathing besides, making his sense of self-identity malleable, his goals and feelings open to Sephiroth's More than Mind Control, and meaning that when he is submerged in Lifestream he is overcome by its information and completely loses his mind - a willful villain and a hero with no will. Once Cloud understands this, he discovers his will and becomes immune to Sephiroth's control, cutting him to pieces in a spiritual battle when Sephiroth's dying spirit tries to take his mind down with him.

Sonic apparently has so much of this trope that he can practically guzzle down the power of an Eldritch Abomination yet be almost completely unaffected mentally. What's even more impressive is that he wasn't even aware that he was doing it. Makes you wonder how he would act if he had learned that just before the final boss, Eggman had shot down Tails' Biplane, and subsequently flipped his shit. Also, in Shadow the Hedgehog, when Shadow proves himself immune to Black Doom's control. Also slightly earlier when he recovered from his Heroic BSoD. Also used in the Sonic Storybook Series entry Sonic and the Black Knight as this was one reason how Sonic was able to summon Excalibur and become Excalibur Sonic! Subverted in Sonic Rivals 2; In the last mission of the stories of Sonic/Tails and Knuckles/Rouge, Ifrit, the monster of the game, will possess the partner to attack you throughout the boss. It has the same full effectiveness on all of them - even Sonic, the main hero. Of course, it's only very temporary.

Heroic Willpower / int_b4996199	comment	This is essentially one of Spider-Man's powers. In fact, on some battle forums, this mode is sometimes called "Aunt May Mode" or "Mary Jane Mode" because roughly once a year since his inception, Spidey has had one of these moments in which he utilized this trope, often when his loved ones were in trouble (or at least the moment was brought on when he thought of them). When this happens, he goes far beyond his normal limitations. Examples include: Being trapped under a bridge when he needed to get to Aunt May, he actually lifted the entire bridge to free himself. The most impressive part of this scene is that this happened while he was a teenager, a time in which he was at his lowest power levels. His infamous fight against Firelord. Lifting an entire section of the New York Subway during a fight against the Lizard. His first fight against The Juggernaut (although he was still not powerful enough to beat Juggy, he still managed to hold onto life/consciousness long enough to trap him). His last fight with Morlun in which he actually came back from the dead and evolved on the spot to beat the villain who was threatening his wife.

Heroic Willpower / int_bd8b694d	comment	In Codex Equus, Silver Bane Deconstructs and plays this trope for drama. Thanks to Trauma-Induced Amnesia regarding his past as well as the Poenan Pantheon's harmful teachings, Silver Bane falsely believed for years that his vampiric side was a "curse", and suppressed it through both sheer willpower and the Poenans' divine artifacts, hoping it could be contained/purged. But the effort of suppressing his vampiric side slowly takes a toll on his mind, and after going through a few extremely stressful situations, Silver Bane falls into a coma that he couldn't wake up from no matter what his friends tried. A Llama monk discovered through "mind-walking" that Silver Bane's coma was caused by his "dark half", the manifestation of everything he hated about himself and has become hellbent in taking over his body out of spite and desperation to free itself. Then it becomes a rare positive inversion when, after his friends uncovered his forgotten memories and thus allowed him to remember his origins, Silver Bane apologized to his "dark half" and reconciled with it by offering a chance to start over as equals so they could make up for what they both did. This led to both of them mentally fusing, transforming Silver Bane into a true Dhampyr in the real world, and creating a balanced individual with a stabler mindset and greater power than before.

Heroic Willpower / int_bff01809	comment	Inverted in Warhammer and Warhammer 40,000, where Villainous Willpower determines which of the two possible Eldritch Abomination routes a follower of Chaos goes down - becoming a mindless Chaos Spawn or a Daemon Prince who retains sentience and control over his powers. One example is Fulgrim: At first his soul was trapped in a portrait by a demon of Slaanesh, but he was able to master demonic powers and regain control of his body, while trapping the demon in the portrait he was imprisoned in. Heroic Willpower is usually an attribute which sets apart the BadAss Normals from the Refuge in Audacity named badass characters, and commonly just the elite forces from the less-so. Blood Angels Chief Librarian Mephiston is the first Blood Angel to succumb to the Black Rage and come back from the frothing berserker state it usually induces, through sheer force of will. This has the side effect of giving him near-unprecedented control of his psychic powers, earning him the title "the Lord of Death." A slightly lesser example, also from the Blood Angels: Chaplain Lemartes also fell to the black rage. While Mephiston can actually control his rage, Lemartes is really only able to aim it. So while he's lucid, he's kept in stasis when not in battle for the safety of those around him. Logan Grimnar, lord of the Space Wolves, wields the Axe of Morkai, which contains a demon of Chaos. The demon is unable to attack Grimnar's mind because of his iron will. That's right, Logan Grimnar got a demon of Chaos to bitch down! The Illuminati, an Imperium-spanning secret society whose hidden objectives are allegedly in support of humanity and the Emperor, is composed of humans who have not only survived possession by a Warp entity, usually a daemon, but also managed to cast out the daemon from their own bodies through sheer force of will. This is in a setting where daemon possession ends in either mind shattering insanity or, in the case of a psyker, sometimes a really big explosion. Way cooler than any of these is Settra the Imperishable from the fantasy Warhammer. In Warhammer: The End Times, the world is falling apart, Chaos is curbstomping the forces of Order all over the place, and at the height of their power all four Chaos Gods approach the greatest of the Tomb Kings and offer him absolutely everything: wealth, power, a new body of living gold, even minor godhood. What does Settra do? He gives them the finger, because Settra does not serve, Settra rules. Absolutely awesome.

Despite the loss of her Grandfather, Krile is driven entirely by willpower, refusing to take breaks from her quest, and it is her will (as the Hero of Hope) that is able to restore the World after it has been lost to the Void. However, once her heroic goal is fulfilled, she completely loses the will to live and remains in the Void, even as the others beg her to return to the World. She is eventually saved, but it's only by the will of her grandfather from beyond the grave.

Heroic Willpower / int_c43df4d8	comment	Doctor Who: "The Tomb of the Cybermen": Toberman manages to retain enough of his humanity after partial conversion to turn on the Cyber-Controller and sacrifice himself to seal the tomb. "The Five Doctors": The Doctors combine their willpower to free themselves from being People Puppets. "Doomsday": Torchwood leader Yvonne Hartman, who helped cause an invasion of Cybermen by interfering with the Doctor, is captured by the Cybermen and undergoes Cyber-conversion. She manages to maintain her free will through her love of "Queen and Country" (or the fact that she was already robotic enough that the Cyberman procedure had no effect) and holds off several of the Cybermen, at the cost of what was left of her own life, while the Doctor saves the day. Subverted in "The Pandorica Opens". Auton Rory has enough Heroic Willpower to hold onto his identity and memories, but not enough to keep him from shooting Amy. Then double subverted as it flows into "The Big Bang"; the grief and shock from mortally wounding his wife, and the anger from the Doctor showing up to goad him about it in a Secret Test of Character, leads him to truly overcome the programming, put Amy in the Pandorica instead of the Doctor, and then spend so long guarding it and her that there are, quite literally, legends about him now. "Death in Heaven": The recently-dead Danny Pink and lately dead Brigadier Alistair Gordon Lethbridge-Stewart overcome their Cyberman programming to help save the Doctor and Clara by the love they have for those closest to them (Clara for Danny, The Brigadier's daughter). The latter goes so far as to fire on Missy with the Cyber-guns he wouldn't have in the first place if she hadn't pulled this stunt. "The Doctor Falls": Bill Potts manages to resist the effects of being converted into the first Mondasian Cyberman and fights alongside the Doctor to the very end of the Final Battle. By the end of the episode, the Doctor has been beaten, electrocuted and survived an entire spaceship floor exploding and still manages to hold regeneration for one last adventure. "Resolution": Lin does her best to fight off the influence of the Dalek recon scout controlling her while it forces her to build it a new casing.

Heroic Willpower / int_c62995ba	comment	Child of the Storm has this as standard for anyone deemed eligible to wield Alan Scott's Green Lantern Ring including Harry Dresden, a canonical example in his own right. A particular example, however, is Carol, who's quite literally too stubborn to die. Harry Potter/Thorson himself is no slouch. He resists Chthon's temptations at the end of the first book, with Doctor Strange actually counting on him doing so. In the sequel, he takes torture, brainwashing attempts, and psychic attacks for two days straight with no food, water, or sleep at the hands of the Red Room without breaking. And when, from his perspective, immediately after this he's hit with six months of memories of horrors his body was used to commit as the Red Son and finds that half his body has been consumed by the techno-organic virus, he enters a state of Tranquil Fury and proceeds to become the Dark Phoenix. Oh, and after that, with a bit of help from the Power of Love and Power of Friendship, he manages to reject and suppress the power of the Dark Phoenix. He later goes on to resist tapping into that same power despite having every reason to (including, but not limited to, being beaten to a pulp, Impaled with Extreme Prejudice on his own sword, struck by lightning, seeing one of his best friends almost horribly murdered and nearly lose an eye to his evil cousin, now a vampire, and facing the prospect of seeing one of his other best friends - who he's at least in Courtly Love with - dying horribly) and being acutely aware of how it would solve all his problems... albeit at the cost of causing more. This particular example is noted as a testament to his character.

To save time, the comic adaptation has Link resist the effect by banishing all darkness from his heart by sheer willpower. Roam takes a different tack; instead of resisting the effect, he gives into it, transforming into an eagle but retaining his mind and self-control, again by sheer willpower.

Even though Bella is his singer, the one human whose blood is absolutely irresistible to him, he painfully prevents himself from killing her, since he "doesn't want to be a monster" and because he eventually falls in love with her. Of course, his blood lust is a metaphor for real lust, which he's also experiencing, and which he also has to demonstrate incredible willpower to resist, since he's sure sex would kill Bella. All this in spite of Bella being more than willing to take a chance at the risk and not shy of trying every waking moment. He eventually manages to control his thirst so well that he can kiss her, hold her and eventually have sex with her without drinking her blood or killing her. Not only that. He manages to control his thirst so good that he can kiss her, hold her and eventually have sex with her without drinking her blood or killing her. Bella herself also demonstrates this trope when she becomes a vampire, even being able to resist going after human blood when she catches their scent during a hunt and generally being able to control her newfound vampire senses and urges immediately instead of being blood-crazed for the first year as she was warned she would be.

Glimmer manages to fight off the paralysis, drag herself to her feet, and set off to smash the Black Garnet and save the world (it doesn't work, but given that Scorpia, who's built like a linebacker, had only managed to crawl ten feet and give Perfuma and Frosta a hug under the same effect, that she was even standing is impressive), and Adora fights off the control signal for long enough to snap Light Hope out of her programming, giving her a chance to destroy the sword and prevent the weapon from firing.

Not quite "Heroic" Willpower, but Doctor Doom gets one in the Emperor Doom arc, where he's used the Purple Man's powers to take over the world. The Purple Man tells Doom he couldn't have done any of this without his help, at which point Doom removes the mask that protects him from the Purple Man's powers and just stares him down while the Purple Man keeps giving him commands he doesn't obey. Now, Zebediah Killgrave... WHO deserves to rule? Doctor Doom once went toe-to-toe with a Physical God called the Overmind, who professed to have the mental and physical strength of billions of aliens. He had already effortlessly mind-controlled Mr. Fantastic into trying to kill the rest of the FF, when Doom showed up. Doom simply IGNORED the mind-control, while simultaneously boasting, fighting, and being nearly killed... to save the man he hates more than anyone in the universe. And he did it all just to prove (to his arch-enemy's wife!) that he wasn't scared.

Well, the fact that they wanted him to publicly break up with his husband Apollo and denounce his former lifestyle might have had something to do with it.

Heroic Willpower / int_e863cc41	comment	This is, in fact, simply a continuation of a recurring theme in the prequel series. Most notably, in Battle Networks 5 and 6. In 5, he is poisoned by Dark Chips and can learn to use them more effectively. In 6, he gets posessed by a Cybeast (based on your version), and uses the Cybeast power to boost his own. It's reasonable to assume that the Cybeast instance is the inspiration for the OOPart posessing Geo in Star Force 2, by seeing all the similarities between the two.

Heroic Willpower / int_ec28245c	comment	In Dragon Ball Z, the wizard Babidi has a mind control spell that works on anyone with evil in their heart and amplifies their physical strength as a side effect. Vegeta is, by the point where Babidi is introduced, on the good guys' side but he's not pure of heart and thus placed under the influence of Babidi's spell. This is a spell that has worked on Dabura, the universe's version of Satan, and made him a loyal servant of Babidi, but the moment that Babidi gives Vegeta an order going against Vegeta's own interests (interest being fighting his rival, command being to kill Babidi's father's killer who's travelling with the heroes), he flat-out refuses, shocking both Babidi and aforementioned servant-Satan. Babidi isn't about to relent though, and commands every fiber in Vegeta's body to obey his command - It's at this point that Vegeta proves why he is the prince of saiyans and breaks the mind control with the following quote:

Heroic Willpower / int_ecd2d797	comment	Your own character ostensibly manages this in the Baldur's Gate series, particularly if you play as a Good aligned character. You are the son/daughter of the deceased God of Murder, with wanton killing of innocents supposedly in your very blood, but through a series of dreams you fight off that influence and â€œremake yourself in your own image.â€� Ditto a Light Side character in Knights of the Old Republic, since you are the supposedly dead villain under an Memory Gambit by the Jedi, Becoming the Mask enough to successfully reject that requires an enormous amount of fortitude. Of course, much of this accomplishment is diminished by the sequel and various other ancillary materials giving Darth Revan an Omniscient Morality License. More like Villainous Willpower, but Darth Sion must have an ungodly amount of willpower not to go batshit insane of his constant pain. In the same game, it's an actual mechanic for Atton Rand. As long as one other party member is still standing, he will continue to get up and fight, no matter how much damage he takes. Of course, the degree of "heroic" for Atton is very much up for interpretation.

Two stereotypical black church mothers spend several minutes saying how they'll torture the Devil "with their prayers" for tempting their loved ones before Georgina suddenly becomes possessed by Satan himself. But only a few mere seconds after possessing her, Satan finds that her willpower is so strong that not only can Georgina easily maintain control of her body, but she can in fact hold him inside her and torture him. She quickly passes him to Esther to torture, as they drag him outside screaming for help.

Raistlin who whilst opening the portal to the Abyss realizes he has failed just like his predecessor before him and was about to die and cause great destruction all around him as the portal was closing, through sheer force of will alone held the portal open long enough to enter it. The difference here is that Raistlin was not a hero, so it was more like Villainous Willpower, if there is such a thing. His nephews Palin and Steel managed through will to brave their way through the Shoikan Grove — a passage that no mortal had ever passed before without an invitation from the master of the Tower.

Heroic Willpower / int_f3c07f91	comment	The Mask: Stanley Ipkiss is a normal, sweet, kind and Nice Guy who puts on the Mask of Loki and becomes the titular Mask, a genuinely insane cartoonish man. But thanks to the fact that he retains most of Stanley's traits, he fights the supervillains who attack the people of the city, saves his friends who are in danger and will refuse to team up with anyone who will hurt others. Evelyn is also the same as Stanley as after she accidentally puts on the mask she becomes Eve, a Southern Belle girl who like the Mask is also plain bonkers but still retains her original self's traits. Dr. Neuman was given the Mask by Stanley who wanted to get rid of it, so he agrees to keep it. However, he eventually noticed how the Mask glows, prompting him to put it on which then attaches itself to him, which also turns him into a psychotic and insane nutjob, though in his case his lunacy manifests in his belief of a disorder called "Ipkissa Maskosis". He does however try and keep himself under control, such as when on a rescue mission to save the world from this disorder (which apparently involves putting anyone he can find in wedgie straitjackets). That said, he does occasionally lose control of himself, like when after Charlie mentions Stanley, he ended up literally blowing steam out of his ears and tried to do a lobotomy on him only to snap himself out of it after his appointment alarm went off. He also still retains his morals such as agreeing with everyone that Pretorius is insane, even though he agreed to help him with his plan and was trying to kill Stanley, he decided to mess around with him first (such as putting him in a shower which, while it didn't serve much purpose, did knock him off-guard) showing that though Dr. Neuman as the Mask is a lunatic, he does try and keep himself in control, as he's a professional who refuses to lose his cool no matter what.

Heroic Willpower / int_f7c8e36e	comment	Octopath Traveler: There is one character who has been corrupted and has been fighting the dark powers which have befallen him for tenish years. His name is Graham Crossford. Ten years prior to the start of the game he lost his wife and was tempted by a mysterious woman named Lyblac to be able to revive her. However, the ritual was a lie. She needed his blood and body to unleash the fallen god Galdera from his bindings. When Graham realizes what is about to happen, he fights Lyblac and escapes but not before being corrupted by Galdrera's power and it transforms him into the vicious monster that would be called the Redeye. For these long years, Graham fought the losing battle against the evil power but retained moments of lucidity. During the battle against the Redeye, he could sometimes heal the main characters, and on a pillar near where he is slain, readable only after his defeat, are his last words both begging to be killed and spare more victims, and an apology to his son who never knew what befell his father.

Most other sets hand-wave your ability to avoid damage as your armor deflecting or absorbing the damage. Willpower has you fighting on DESPITE taking grenades, energy blasts, super-powered fists and all manner of weaponry to the face. Incidentally, it is one of the best performing powersets in the game.

While Sam's refusal after a few days was impressive, considering that Smeagol fell under its power simply by looking at it, Bilbo's feat was possibly the single most powerful example in Tolkien's Legendarium, even if when he was in its presence for a second time his resistance wavered.

The nurse prepping him for surgery turns in the middle of it and attacks him. He forces himself to stay conscious through modern anesthetics, fends off the now turned nurse, and runs down the hall on said knee that required surgery to find himself a weapon. For reference, the reason said knee needed surgery is that it still hadn't and probably never would fully recover from being torn up by shrapnel during his tour in 'Nam. And Bill would go on to fight Tanks on it anyway.

Heroic Willpower / int_fdbace96	comment	Gravity Falls: In the Grand Finale, Big Bad Bill Cipher, seals protagonist Mabel in an enchanted bubble called "Mabelland." In Mabelland, people can have their deepest desires and wishes granted effortlessly; Bill, a Reality Warper extraordinaire, calls it his "best trap ever" and remarks that a "will of titanium" is needed to resist it. When Dipper, Wendy, and Soos enter the bubble to free Mabel, the latter two almost instantly give in to its powers, and Dipper Pines is sorely tempted when Wendy (the older girl he's loved for the whole series) points out that in Mabelland, he could be aged up and they could be together. Dipper considers it...then turns it down, which in turn causes a massive Glamour Failure that helps him free Mabel from her world's influence. And he does this all at twelve years old. A less grand, but no less awesome, example occurs with Pacifica Northwest, a Rich Bitch who is initially an enemy of Mabel, and to a lesser extent Dipper for defending his sister, but gradually warms up to the twins as the series progresses. Despite her newfound kindness, though, she still feels compelled to obey her father's orders; he's even trained her to do whatever he says when he rings a little bell. When a vengeful spirit who the Northwests wronged rises from the grave to go on a Roaring Rampage of Revenge, Pacifica finds herself the only person able to break the ghost's curse by opening the family mansion's gates to the general public—but doing so would defy her father's wishes, and he refuses to let her do it, ringing his bell in an attempt to force her to listen to him. Pacifica however briefly calls him out on his stupidity, then pulls open the gates.
