Inexplicably Awesome	comment	Someone who is Inexplicably Awesome is Shrouded in Myth. Whatever Backstory, secret origin or Mysterious Past an Inexplicably Awesome character has is by definition locked away; their existence is a conundrum. They usually display powers or abilities that are unusual if not downright bizarre for the setting, and exhibit eccentricities to match. One would assume that such an impenetrable enigma would be a source of gallons of plot, and they'd be right, although not in the obvious way: rather than being a puzzle to solve, their very presence is typically a plot generator, setting people and events in motion as a direct result of their oddball take on reality. It should be noted, that they only are this trope if they are genuinely unique in their setting. If "he/she must be a Time Lord" is a workable explanation for a character and the series isn't even Doctor Who, odds are it's this trope. note Or you've been spending too much time in the Wild Mass Guessing page. They can be anyone from a near omnipotent being to a mere weirdo, but that does not make them any less weird either way. Attempting to actually explain their awesome may have unintended and hazardous consequences, including but not limited to Cerebus Retcons and, in some severe cases, the dreaded Voodoo Shark. Compare with The Wonka, a character who is successful owing to unique/crazy logic and who may overlap with this trope (as its Trope Namer does — see Literature below).

This is by design - there is, in fact, quite a lot of backstory behind just how he can do all of that, a large chunk of which is filled in during the sequel.

Inexplicably Awesome / int_1869a077	comment	Samurai Jack had the Guardian, a extremely powerful warrior tasked with protecting a time portal from anyone who wants to use it. What exactly he is and where he came from is one of the show's biggest mysteries: he looks like a large blue humanoid dressed in a long coat with superhuman strength and is capable of withstanding the impact of missiles. He also packs some serious heat in the form of machine guns and rocket launchers alongside swords and spears, and at one point he eats a metal shield. Whether he is an alien, a demigod or whatever created him and made him guard the portal is never clarified, but he has done his duty for countless eons and defeated anyone who wished to use the portal. The Guardian is also one of the most powerful beings in the setting, holding the distinction of being one of the very few to have defeated Jack in single combat. Not awesome enough to save him from being killed by Aku, however.

Inexplicably Awesome / int_1aacbbc9	comment	Dragon Age: Flemeth, until the third game shed some light on her. She's an immortal shapeshifting witch on a completely different power level than anyone else in the setting, can identify world-changing heroes on sight, and no-one knows quite what she is; not the escaped slave from The Magocracy, not the possessed mage, not even her own daughter. The fact that she has planted several fake backstories for herself in folklore and intentionally drops self-contradictory hints doesn't help. The third game gives an answer while bringing up even more questions. The demon said to have possessed Flemeth in legend was not a demon, but the remains of the elven goddess of love and justice. Now the question is, what were the elven gods? Awakening has the Architect, a sapient and non-violent Darkspawn. Don't ask him how he came to be a sapient Darkspawn; he's just as clueless about that as you are. As far as he knows, he just happened to be born deaf to the "song" of the Old Gods, allowing him free will. David Gaider hints that he's a being like Corypheus; i.e. he's a human mage turned into a unique Darkspawn and essentially one of the Chantry's Satan analogues.

Inexplicably Awesome / int_1bd69d53	comment	The Adventures of Pete & Pete had Artie, the World's Strongest Man. Or more accurately, The Strongest Man... in the World! His on-camera feats include hitting a golf ball 300,003 yards, pushing a house to the left an inch, rolling a bowling ball from Wellsville to Canada, skipping a stone on Neptune, leaving the Wrigley family's gutters clean and spotless by blowing through the drainage pipe, and leaping across the city in a single jump. At the same time, this is a man who claimed that he would destroy the "foul green pipe" when battling with a hose, rode a canoe through someone's backyard, and "beat up the Atlantic Ocean" by repeatedly punching the incoming tide. While Artie fit in with the show's theme of treating mundane topics as Serious Business for the sake of comedy, no one else in the show even came close to doing the kinds of things that Artie was capable of. The showrunners have confirmed that Artie was a real person in-universe and not a figment of anyone's imagination. But it was never explained how Artie could do the things he does, or how he's the strongest man in the world. He just is.

Inexplicably Awesome / int_1beda93b	comment	Sluggy Freelance: The crazy gymnast assassin Oasis. Pete has shown us hints as to who (or rather what) she is but has pulled the rug out from under us before. Whether she's a robot, a real girl with fire powers that's immortal to boot, a zombie-like being who heals all wounds, a ghost that 'dominates' other beings to the point they even look like her, or something else we don't really know. All we know is she apparently can't be killed and goes berserk whenever she sees someone from Hereti Corp. Bun-bun. A badass talking rabbit with a bad attitude, a switchblade, and a glock he pulls out from nowhere. The only clues we've had to his past so far is that he's been thrown out of time once before by Santa Claus, his mother was probably killed in front of his eyes, and he was put back into the right timeline by Uncle Time who admits it was just somewhere in the right 'ballpark'. At least until it's revealed that he, along with Santa, used to be one of the Mohkadun gods.

Inexplicably Awesome / int_1f76648	comment	The Imagine Breaker of A Certain Magical Index fame; it merely ables its wielder the ability to dispel and negate supernatural powers, such as Magic and Esper abilities. In a Worldâ€¦ where magic and superpowers reign supreme, a power which perfectly counters said powers was very much a Game-Breaker for both Sides. Its very existence is one of the series' greatest mysteries; a small handful of individuals know it exists, even fewer of them are well-aware of its origins (which are dubious at best), an extremely rare few are capable of wielding its full potential, and whatever Aleister Crowley has planned for it, and its current host Kamijou Touma is anyone's guess.

He already has "language, knowledge, purpose" and a name, but he doesn't have any history before then. He goes on to build himself from nothing into a highly influential Corrupt Corporate Executive who is part Rupert Murdoch, part Richard Branson and part Satan, working inexorably towards a diabolical purpose, not sleeping and chewing constantly to keep his rat-like teeth from growing too long, but there's never an explanation of where he came from.

Hamdo would be a lesser, villainous example: it's not at all clear how a raving lunatic who would probably have difficulty going to the bathroom without help ended up "king" of a flying battleship, other than a hitherto unhinted period of mental competence.

Yet he can also speak Russian and construct Trick Arrows capable of sophisticated electronic hacking, skills he could not have picked up if he'd been marooned on an island for five years.

His true identity is never determined, and only a few vague clues are ever given; he's a Friend to All Children (his first words on screen were "Are the children safe?"), remembers being chased by dogs at some point, and was born some time before the twentieth century. According to two of the show's writers and producers, the plan was to reveal Ghostwriter as an ancestor of Jamal's—a runaway slave (hence the being chased by dogs) who was captured and killed for teaching other slaves to read—but the show was cancelled before they could produce that episode.

Inexplicably Awesome / int_252237eb	comment	Genjuro Kazanari of Symphogear is considered one of, if not the, strongest characters in the franchise, capable of absolutely curbstomping most of the cast with his Super-Strength. This is despite the fact that while most of the cast have ancient Magitek weapons that grant superhuman abilities, Genjuro has no such weapon and seems to owe his strength entirely to Charles Atlas Superpower; the only reason he rarely fights himself is his lack of defensive abilities (Noise disintegrate humans on contact and no amount of muscle would make him immune to that). Whenever asked, he credits his skills to watching lots of action movies. Then it turns out his father is just as inexplicably strong despite being an eighty-something old man, which raises about as many questions as it answers.

They don't even seem to be Superjail employees or inmates and don't seem to have any specific reason for messing with the jail (besides maybe hating the Warden which is sometimes sort of implied). In the second season however it is revealed that they're alien pranksters who came to Earth on a year abroad but had too much fun in Superjail to go back to their family.

All that's ever revealed about her and the bus is that her first name is Valerie and the guy who built the bus doesn't seem particularly magical himself.

Inexplicably Awesome / int_30a5ebfd	comment	Naruto: It's never explained why the Nine Tails is so much stronger than the other tailed beasts, but a mere half of its power is enough to equal six of its brethren at once. Hashirama Senju - the First Hokage, was widely considered to not only be the strongest ninja in the Fire Nation, but the strongest ninja in the world. He had a unique set of skills that were very distinct from his brother Tobirama Senju - such as a Wood Style kekkei genkai, and an impressive Healing Factor without the use of hand seals, rivalling even Tsunade's Creation Rebirth - Strength of a Hundred.note Both the Wood Style and Hashirama's healing factor are only accessible to other ninja that have his cells. Yamato, Danzo, Obito and Madara received either or both abilities via experimentation. Not even being the reincarnation of the Sage of Six Paths' youngest son explains how exceptional he was as a ninja, since the Sage's younger son didn't have those powers. In Boruto, Moegi Kazamatsuri of all people is out of nowhere revealed to be a Wood Style user.

Even in that context, it's still rather odd that the titular character — a slacker devoid of life goals and more than a bit of an irresponsible manchild — is in fact the best fighter in the province; it's just simply accepted as a narrative fact because it's awesome.

Inexplicably Awesome / int_3b7abee2	comment	The G-Man from Half-Life appears to be a plainly dressed businessman with a speech impediment, a bit strange-looking (described as "Emaciated Robert Oppenheimer" by one fan), but still basically normal-looking. Yet he pulls the weirdest tricks in the whole game, freezing time and walking right into a scene as if through the Fourth Wall. The way he speaks, the words he chooses, and the references he makes accentuate his oddness. For that matter, looking like a calm and plainly dressed businessman is itself odd when he appears in the middle of an alien-infested war zone. The only hint about who, or rather what, he might actually be comes from Word of God stating that the direction they were going for when portraying him was to make him come across as something that has assumed A Form You Are Comfortable With, but doesn't care if you're convinced enough by its disguise to remain comfortable with it.

His tendency to spout off conspiracy theories, go off on weird tangents and resort to cartoonish violence at the slightest provocation make you want to ignore him. His skills (the least of which involve killing a number of armed NSB agents with his bare hands and locating several pounds of medical-grade cocaine, spiking it with rat poison and delivering it to a mansion in Russia with two days' notice while working out of Taiwan) make doing so impossible. It is never explored who Steven is or what his background involves, but it is suggested (and never outright denied) that he just one day decided being a superspy would be really cool and worked his way into the world of black ops on the power of his unbridled batshit insanity alone.

Throughout all the games, we never get anything more than tantalising glimpses into their Mysterious Past, never anything concrete that explains just how some random schmuck remade him/herself into the second most deadly person on the planet. Kinzie apparently knows everything about them thanks to the internet and her computer skills, but the Boss tells her in no uncertain terms that if she ever speaks a word of that information, she's dead. Interestingly, British Boss specifically uses the word "classified" with regards to this information, possibly hinting at some sort of military or spy background for that particular Boss. Oleg from Saints Row: The Third. How did he get so large, powerful, durable? What exactly did he do for the KGB? How does he recognise STAG technology or the Deckers' NEMO Chair? Apart from a vague assertion that it would be best for his alliance with the Saints if they did not know, we have nothing. He's Promoted to Playable in the Alternate Universe game Agents of Mayhem as Yeti. In this universe, he was experimented on as part of a Russian Super-Soldier program... but all that did was turn him into An Ice Person, he was still just as huge before that and it's still never explained.

He is loud, theatric, surprisingly intuitive and has an inspiring, simple mindset that can change people in an instant, even though they are a lot smarter than him. He kicks several kinds of ass and wields a giant spear, making him a literal Lancer for protagonist Twenty-Fifth Bam. Any obstacle he faces he overcomes within days, if there is something he wants, he'll get it and there is no-one greater in his mind than him, as can be seen in his countless Badass Boasts. Yet we know almost nothing about how Rak came to be, but it's okay, since he is badass enough to be named ManGator by fans. And this is the point where we should mention that he is a 4m (12ft) tall bipedal alligator that looks like a reincarnation of Godzilla.

Nowadays, most fans and many writers treat Alan Moore's tale of an angel who wouldn't choose sides in the War in Heaven as the de facto origin. Geoff Johns has put a new spin on his origins: apparently, he was cursed by a group called the Circle of Eternity to watch what he sowed. That only leaves us asking this question: what did he sow? Then he's revealed to be Judas. As part of his punishment, the Circle condemned him to wear his thirty pieces of silver around his neck forever as a mark of shame. This was not well received and as of the latest universal Retcon, this backstory has been erased.

Inexplicably Awesome / int_4d9653ef	comment	The Lady of Pain in Planescape manages to be this, which is quite a feat in a setting where the actual gods are an important element. Partially because she's capable of keeping them out of Sigil, and even seems to be responsible for killing a god who tried to set up shop in her town, and partially because nothing about her is ever explained. We don't even know her Character Alignment or if "she" is actually female. But don't, don't try to worship her. Because of the more philosophical nature of the setting, the creators went out of their way to keep her an enigma, including vetoing any and all attempts to attach stats to her. (The closest they got to giving her any kind of stats was in the 3rd Edition sourcebook Planar Handbook, in which she is described as Lawful Neutral and female. This alone was too much for some older fans to stomach.) She is also one of the few entities to avert the Lord British Postulate. NEVER challenge or anger her - you can't withstand her wrath. Given the setting, being this is essential to her power: the setting runs on Clap Your Hands If You Believe, so if enough people knew or even decided together on what she is, even a deity, she would become that, and thus most likely vastly less powerful than she is now.

Despite this, he's the single weakest monster in the Underground that nevertheless displays a level of skill that blows the established cast out of the water with creative tactics, and if you try to kill everyone, he will give you a bad time. Combined with the fact that he's thwarted Flowey's plans more than once, demonstrates the ability to teleport and has knowledge of various resets, there's a broken-down time machine hidden in his bedroom, his Gaster Blasters are named after an even more mysterious character who seems to have disappeared and been temporally scattered across space and time, he seems to be aware of the game mechanics and the save system, coupled with the fact that a red substance that's probably blood comes out of him when he dies and not turned to dust like all established monsters, and an awful lot of fans are left convinced that Sans isn't even actually a monster at all. One thing's for certain, though: whatever his story is, there's a lot more to it than what's shown in the game.

Nobody has any idea who or even what he is (there's some subtle hints in his appearance that he's probably not human) or where he gets all those wonderful guns, or why he's even selling them to you. The Duke, of Resident Evil Village, is similar to the Merchant (in fact, an Easter Egg—the Duke reciting the Merchant's famous "Whaddya buyin'?" catchphrase—reveals that the two know each other), both in his role in the game (providing weapons) and the total mystery surrounding him. He's Ambiguously Human at best, as he's so fat that he's quite literally bursting out of his clothes, yet nimble and able to perform Offscreen Teleportation. He also possesses many strange abilities, including cooking meals so delicious that they permanently boost Ethan's stats and laughing off full-on explosions, but the Duke never outright challenges Mother Miranda, though he does openly defy her laws seemingly without concern for the consequences. The Duke also knows a lot more than he lets on—he tells Ethan all about the Four Lords and how to restore Rose—but never says anything outright, instead providing cryptic clues and vague hints with a chuckle. Though the Duke claims to be a True Neutral who'll sell to anyone, he's also Ethan's closest ally in the game and does him constant favors, all the while claiming that he's simply providing "first-class customer service." At the end of the game, Ethan outright asks the Duke "Who—what are you?", and the Duke only laughs and says that even he doesn't know the answer.

Inexplicably Awesome / int_6a4c8f1b	comment	One-Punch Man: There is no logical explanation for how Saitama obtained his godlike strength, since he was shown to be a rather ordinary man before he started his training. Saitama himself chalks it up to his training regimen... which isn't Training from Hell, but just a moderately difficult, realistically possible, strength training regimen,note Each day: 100 sit-ups, 100 push-ups, 100 squats, and a 10 km run. so there's no way he could have become so strong just from that. Many characters Lampshade this, and believe that Saitama has some other secret he isn't telling anybody, but it's suggested that even Saitama doesn't really know how he got so strong. The S class hero known as King is known throughout the populace as the World's Strongest Man despite his rank (7th among the 16 S-class heroes, probably due to the fact that he isn't very active). Any monster that unluckily meets him in battle is reduced to gore while he himself is left unscathed by the ordeal. Among the S class Heroes who have explicit skills and/or powers known to all (such as psychic powers, Super-Speed/Super-Strength, Healing Factor etc..), King's skillset and/or powers are a mystery and all that is said about his battles is that he "did a special move/something" that resulted in his victory. King is actually a subversion because he is an ordinary guy, and the monsters that got credited as his kills were actually Saitama's kills. King just happened to be the one left in the scene after Saitama had left.

Inexplicably Awesome / int_7c038c18	comment	Phineas and Ferb: Ferb. A walking Funny Background Event who only gets one or two lines per episode, he's fluent in such languages as dolphin and Martian and is quite possibly the entire reason the kids are able to defy the laws of physics (Phineas is the idea guy, but Ferb draws up the actual blueprints). At one point, even his name was shrouded in mystery, as his name was revealed to Vanessa, leading him to explain it was short for somethingnote Turns out, it was just "Ferbs".. Also, he has green hair. This never gets explained. The Fireside Girls is an organization dedicated to turning young girls into this. Many of their badges serve no real practical or logical purpose but are nonetheless awesome and depending on the badge they're working on, Isabella and the other girls can pull random skills connected to said badge out of nowhere.

Inexplicably Awesome / int_7c48915b	comment	Jones ("just Jones is enough") from Gunnerkrigg Court. She's "Practically perfect in every way" — as tricky as Mary Poppins, as coldly precise and as unstoppable as a Terminator, and apparently even Coyote has no power over her — yet almost no one (including the readers) knows who and what Jones is, other than she's "not a robot". Which is less than informative, given that non-robotic beings known to visit or inhabit the Court range from shadow folk to extradimensional psychic arthropods to deities from three different pantheons... so far. As of "The Stone", her history has been revealed in flashback: she's been around almost as long as the Earth itself, looking exactly the same as she does now (i.e. an anatomically modern human), and most of the time in which she wasn't encased in rock has been spent wandering the planet or, more recently, teaching and guiding others. Even so, Jones outright says that she doesn't know what she is.

A few lines imply that this isn't entirely without precedent, however. Word of God explained it later, with 1,000 years passing since the last one, as well as a case of When the Planets Align. Doesn't make her any less awesome. This would later be subverted in Frozen II where the origin of her powers does receive an explanation, albeit an esoteric one.

Rachel, meanwhile, was capable creating baby black holes via the sheer strength of her telekinesis and go toe to toe with Thor while rifling through his mind - and that before several recent jumps in power. Oh, and did we mention that she's arguably the Phoenix's favourite host? Even more than mummy dearest? And that she has vast and vague temporal manipulation powers that allow her to travel through billions of years at will?

Inexplicably Awesome / int_7fc78282	comment	The Lord of the Rings: Tom Bombadil appears for exactly one segment of the first book which has absolutely no impact on the surrounding plot, his powers have no clear (if any) limitations, and most notably the One Ring has zero effect on him whatsoever. Tolkien was deliberately vague as to his origins, so that some mysteries might remain in the world. It's outright stated that he was the first being in EÃ¤, and that he will be the last. This means that when Morgoth and the other Valar descended from the Halls of IlÃºvatar into the world he was already there.note From a Doylist perspective this is literally true. Tom and the other characters from his land were originally created as a stand-alone set of fairy stories before being incorporated into the new Middle Earth setting wholesale decades later. Perhaps understandably, no adaptations of the book thus far have included him, not only because he brings the narrative to an absolute dead stop screeching halt, but because his very presence trivializes the aura of power and menace surrounding the Ring. A lot of creatures in Tolkien's Middle Earth are utterly unexplained, from the eagles to the dragons to the Nameless Things. This is partly because of his very strict metaphysical rules; whereas other fantasy series could easily get away with making random species, from an in-universe perspective they don't make any sense, and so their origins are hotly debated by Tolkien fans.

This being in spite of the fact that most of the non-human factions in Warhammer actively loathe or at least look down on humans, and that it's not at all clear what exactly his profession is. (He's implied to be a Necromancer in the Vampire Counts campaign and a Chaos Sorcerer in Warriors of Chaos/Beastmen campaigns, but being a mage of some stripe still doesn't explain how he managed to convince the Greenskins, the Wood Elves, the Dwarfs or either human faction to listen to him.)

He was initially just a fusion of Android 17 and an Evil Counterpart of 17 produced in Hell, both of whom had long since succumbed to the Can't Catch Up nature of the series, yet somehow their fusion was capable of taking on the entire DBGT Saiyan squad without breaking a sweat and even matched Goku in his Super Saiyan 4 state. True, Super 17 made liberal use of his Energy Absorption ability to quickly gain ground and Gero suggested that 17 was a failed Super Prototype with Super 17 being actually 17 in his complete state as Gero intended him to be, but it wasn't until DBS (showing that 17 and 18 were fully capable of training themselves up to match the literal god-tier power levels the main cast reached) that the matter was definitively resolved.

In theory, they could be housed in a glass case instead of a PokÃ© Ball. This is never explained, but later confirmed to still be canon (and not just Early-Installment Weirdness) in PokÃ©mon Legends: Arceus. Mr. Bonding, a minor character who first appeared in PokÃ©mon X and Y, is a man in a pink tux who grants the players O-Powers (a mechanic that buffs things such as EXP bonuses, increasing the chances of capturing Pokemon or hatching eggs faster). What puts him into this territory occurs in Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire where it's revealed that he's a fusion of 6 people: 5 strange old men who also grant O-Powers and are inexplicably awesome themselves, and a once "powerless man" who was previously on a Despair Event Horizon who now serves as the "main host" for the 5 old men.

They're basically immortal beings with little to no backstory who grant mental eye powers and speak in riddles, in what is otherwise a Mini-Mecha Real Robot series that focuses on chess and politics. In the second season, much of both their backstories are explained, but not nearly enough to give a complete picture. Fans' desire to learn more about Geass and the Codes is part of the reason why a continuation of the franchise is wanted so much. It's also never explained why Suzaku and Kallen have physical strength and reflexes that go beyond merely impressive and into the realm of obviously superhuman. Even on foot, without the aid of their Super Prototype Knightmare Frames, they've been seen to casually accomplish such feats as outrunning machine gun fire and karate-chopping a bee into pieces mid-flight. (The latter nearly being a Cover-Blowing Superpower for Kallen, since her civilian identity is supposed to be a frail Ordinary High-School Student who takes sick days frequently in order to secretly engage in terrorism.) Nor are either of them ever seen doing training that would justify it as a Charles Atlas Superpower.

Inexplicably Awesome / int_b40c60f6	comment	During Marvel's run of G.I. Joe, Zartan was very much this. How can this assassin/biker gang leader make himself look like anyone within seconds? Never answered! The closest we got was outside speculation that it is "a mixture of hypnosis and holograms". Later on Devil's Due as well as IDW's reboot both gave their own origin to Zartan, and they had one thing in common: they did not explain the full extent of his ability.

Inexplicably Awesome / int_b4967d43	comment	The source of Sonic the Hedgehog's super speed and skills was never explained. The localizers infamously attempted to explain them by giving him a superhero-esque origin in an early tie-in comic. Keyword is attempted, as said origin was promptly ignored by the games and all but one of the adaptations, and would be Jossed by Sega and Sonic Team (along with similar localization changes).

FGO, appears to have no real origin besides that of the character she's based on (a trainee mage with unusual affinities who was in the right place at the wrong time). However, she happens to be strong enough to beat legendary superhumans to death, shrug off exposure to all kinds of exotic and deadly magics, and come back from the dead multiple times. There's absolutely no given origin for why she's so powerful; at one point, when asked how she survived being thrown 12,000 years into the past, she explained that humanity can conquer any challenge.

Inexplicably Awesome / int_bcadd7cb	comment	Warhammer 40,000: Cypher. We don't know who he is, where he comes from, where he's going, or what he wants. All we know is he periodically shows up on battlefields to turn people into smoking craters with his two pistols and that he has a sword that he never uses, although Guilliman is familiar with that sword and orders Cypher to be arrested when he recognizes it. What's even stranger is that he's a Chaos Space Marine who has the same "And They Shall Know No Fear" trait as Loyalist Marines. He has also been captured many times, usually on purpose as part of one of his mysterious plans, but he always escapes even from the most secure prisons not long after. The Immortal God-Emperor of Mankind appeared out of nowhere during humanity's darkest time (well, one of them, at least) to lead a centuries-long, galaxy-spanning campaign of conquest that united nearly all of humanity under one rule for the first time in its history. He is given an origin story, but it makes no sense and only appears in early material, which is frequently ignored by writers and fans alike. In later materials it's treated as one option in a Multiple-Choice Past. His second in command Malcador gets even less of an origin, despite being second only to the Emperor in psychic power and the founder of basically the entire Imperial government. When the Emperor first shows up in the backstory, they were already old friends.

Inexplicably Awesome / int_c4282b71	comment	My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic Pinkie Pie regularly ignores, leans on or stares at the fourth wall, defies the laws of physics and magic whenever plot or humour convenient, and launches into musicals when no one else does. She's popped out of locations too small for her to fit, appeared inside of mirrors, and even fought the closing circle at the end of the episode. While this itself isn't unusual for a cartoon, she's the only one, and everyone else is well aware that Pinkie Pie doesn't really work with the same rules as anyone else, and just does their best to ignore the weirdness. Her strange actions drive the plot in several episodes. Twilight actually tried to figure out one of her nonsensical abilities, and ended up being so frustrated she gave up trying. Lampshaded in Magic Duel, Pinkie Pie loses her mouth and is later made to play several instruments at once, including a tuba, by Twilight. When asked how she could play a tuba with no mouth, Twilight responds "That wasn't magic. That was just Pinkie Pie." After Lord Tirek's defeat and all the magic returns to the unicorns of Equestria, one such orb returns to Pinkie Pie's muzzle — yes, Pinkie Pie canonically has superpowers. Princesses Celestia and Luna are Physical Goddesses with enough power to move the sun and the moon (and stop them, as Nightmare Moon demonstrates) with no explanation of their origin (except for a brief mention by Celestia that they arrived to end Discord's rule) or phenomenal level of power. Former show-runner Lauren Faust said that keeping them mysterious was part of their character. note Indeed, she also said she regrets having Blueblood referred to as Celestia's nephew and never intended Cadence to be another Winged Unicorn (that being a bit of Executive Meddling), as they both apply Uniqueness Decay to Celestia and Luna. Discord himself. He is by an enormous margin the most powerful note By default; not via Amplifier Artifact, Artifact of Doom, etc. being ever to beset Equestria, but aside from being referred to as "the spirit of chaos and disharmony" (and it isn't clarified whether that's only a title or he's an Anthropomorphic Personification) and once ruling Equestria as an Evil Overlord nothing is truly known about him. Many of the other main villains get this too; there has been a lot of still-unconfirmed speculation on the origins of Queen Chrysalis and the changelings, King Sombra, and exact nature of what Nightmare Moon actually was.

Inexplicably Awesome / int_c43df4d8	comment	Doctor Who: The Doctor, towards the start of their decades long run, was a bizarre man with no solid explanation for his story-generating time-travelling abilities. Since then much background information has been stated, but the most important piece â€• that their people are ultra-powerful masters of time and they're on the run from them â€• was revealed back in 1969, and large gaps in the Doctor's past and character are half-shrouded and still strange. Various Retcons and attempts to explain things (or make things more complicated) have been attempted, but it's generally accepted the Doctor will always retain some level of mystery. The Master, the Doctor's Evil Counterpart, is similar. Russell T. Davies added a vague "origin story" in the revival, but it still left some holes, and their past relationship and obsession with the Doctor is still unexplained. All we know for sure is that the two of them used to be best friends, and still are on some level no matter how often the Master tries to take over the world or kill the Doctor. The Weeping Angels are one of the most terrifying monsters in the entire history of the series partially because of this trope. No effort is made to explain their origin or motivations and what little is known about them is only barely understood. To the point where Rassilon, the founder of Time Lord society, once even referred to them as "the Weeping Angels of Old", implying that they not only predate the Time Lords, but even they don't know what the hell they actually are?!

It's implied he was Sufficiently Advanced Alien since his powers are said to be based on "science" which is so advanced it might as well look like magic for normal humans (hence the Super Wizard in his name), but the creator never really cared elaborating on it (naturally, since the Golden Age wasn't particularly known for setting up rules or some kind of realistic grounding into the lore), and being public domain nowadays a 'canon' explanation is impossible.

If you're lucky, you'll get a brief snippet of vague backstory for your next assassin, but other than that there's no explanation for the insane mailman superhero with the crotch laser (who even comes back as two separate characters in the sequel despite (or due to) being bisected), the Japanese guy with the beam naginata who can summon laser dragons, the unstable baseball bat-wielding ballerina with an army of gimps, the aliens who challenge you in battle, and many other characters. Even the UAA itself is strange and incomprehensible; somehow Sylvia managed to dupe at least 11 dangerous killers (and one loser otaku with a beam katana) into believing they were part of a fictional organization and get them to kill each other. But then in the sequel it's suddenly a real organization again. Travis Strikes Again follows it up by having the aforementioned ballerina's drunken baseball player father come to avenge her death, at least until he learns of a cursed video game console that can bring her back to life (which actually kinda makes sense, long story). Subverted there, as the DLC finally explains their backstory.

Inexplicably Awesome / int_ce50887e	comment	Dragon Ball: Goku at the start of the series. Nothing was known about his past other than he was found in the mountains by his grandfather and was raised in isolation for a number of years. Other than that, everything about Goku was up in the air like why he was so powerful, had a tail, and why he turned into a big ape during a full moon. His friends and enemies openly debated if he was even human. By Dragon Ball Z, we learned he's a Human Alien from a warrior race and he's actually a weakling by their standards. Even then, his ungodly strength and seemingly endless potential still isn't fully explained given he outpaces the Saiyan Prince, who is said to be the strongest their race have to offer. Part of it is a lot of hard work, but, as the series has shown, hard work alone can't catch natural talent unless it isn't maintained. In Dragon Ball Super, Zamasu becomes so obsessed with Goku's power and endless growth that he actually uses the Super Dragon Balls to take his body, abandoning his godly form. Goku's father, Bardock. Despite being born and classified as a lower class Saiyan, he has a power level around 10,000 before he died. For reference, Goku didn't get that high until he trained with King Kai and he was still only around 8,000 to 9,000 without the Kaioken. That also makes him much stronger than Nappa, an elite soldier. In fact, he's about as strong as King Vegeta. It can be explained to an extent by Bardock frequently returning from missions on the brink of death, and receiving zenkaisnote The Saiyan race's ability to grow stronger after recovering from near-fatal injuries. from it, but the very existence of the class system indicates it must have been quite rare for a low-class Saiyan to exceed the power levels of the elites. For decades, no one knew why Frieza and his family were so powerful. His power was so unrivalled that it took a legend to defeat him and every villain afterwards is either demonic in nature or created to be the strongest in the universe. It wasn't until a 2014 interview that it was revealed that Frieza's family are mutants among their race and Frieza himself is a prodigy even among them. This was foreshadowed years earlier, actually, but only to people lucky enough to own and be able to read the Akira Toriyama - The World artbooks, which revealed that Frieza's Quirky Miniboss Squad the Ginyu Force was also made up entirely of freakishly strong mutants. (Of note, Captain Ginyu himself speculates that the above Goku may also be a mutant, but unlike Frieza and co, this has never been confirmed.) Bojack is only a Pirate, yet has a power superior to Vegeta and Trunks and surpassing that of Frieza, who the Kais explicitly considered at the time of his arc to be the greatest mortal power in the universe. No explanation has ever been given as to why Bojack is so strong, or why a character at his level of strength is and was content to be a mere Space Pirate. Majin Buu was at first thought to be a magical creation of the wizard Bibidi, but it turns out he just summoned Buu. In truth Buu is as old as the universe and no one knows where he comes from or why he is so strong. Super 17 in Dragon Ball GT, prior to the DBS retcons, was this. He was initially just a fusion of Android 17 and an Evil Counterpart of 17 produced in Hell, both of whom had long since succumbed to the Can't Catch Up nature of the series, yet somehow their fusion was capable of taking on the entire DBGT Saiyan squad without breaking a sweat and even matched Goku in his Super Saiyan 4 state. True, Super 17 made liberal use of his Energy Absorption ability to quickly gain ground and Gero suggested that 17 was a failed Super Prototype with Super 17 being actually 17 in his complete state as Gero intended him to be, but it wasn't until DBS (showing that 17 and 18 were fully capable of training themselves up to match the literal god-tier power levels the main cast reached) that the matter was definitively resolved. Beerus is an especially powerful Destroyer Deity, but turns out to be a mortal whose strength got him a God Job. Who and what he was before is not explored. Jiren is stronger than the Gods of Destruction, despite being mortal. No one knows why, he's just that strong from a lifetime of training. Not even Jiren himself knows how his training got him to be that powerful.

The rumors are eventually confirmed when Maccadam reveals to Optimus that his true name is Alchemist Prime.

Inexplicably Awesome / int_e08fec3a	comment	She's "Practically perfect in every way" — as tricky as Mary Poppins, as coldly precise and as unstoppable as a Terminator, and apparently even Coyote has no power over her — yet almost no one (including the readers) knows who and what Jones is, other than she's "not a robot". Which is less than informative, given that non-robotic beings known to visit or inhabit the Court range from shadow folk to extradimensional psychic arthropods to deities from three different pantheons... so far.

Then we find out the she can speak Urgal, happens to be a Seer, is the only person in the entire Varden who is able to shield her mind and thoughts from the cursed-child Elva (whose powers even the dragon-rider Eragon isn't immune to), is able to simultaneously hold the amazingly skilled fighter Arya, the ferocious dragon Saphira and the dragon-rider Eragon in place with her mind alone, has killed eight-feet-tall Kulls in hand-to-hand combat, and is an expert at using the sword she carries — which turns out to be the sharpest blade in all of existence. Her origin and past is unknown and left open to speculation. During a telepathic duel against the High Priest of Helgrind, she whispers who she truly is to it. We don't know what she said, but the High Priest promptly broke down in screaming horror.

Inexplicably Awesome / int_e4b5f973	comment	On a less galactic scale, this also applies to the elite few mutants born before the atomic age such as Apocalypse, Selene, Exodus and the Externals. For decades it was strongly implied that the advent of nuclear power was responsible for the emergence of mutants, hence their early sobriquet of "the children of the atom". While this has since been downplayed as the trope has declined in popularity, even in recent years it has been suggested that the detonation of atomic bombs triggered an explosion in mutant birth rates. And yet, the mutants above and a few others were born well before the atomic age, and several of them have immortality as part of their power sets as well.

Even as we delve into the pasts of her classmates (Mercenaries, Mages, Mad Scientists, The Undead, Half-Demons, a Robot, a Time-Traveler), the information we get on her has always been spotty: she's a Silent Bob, she can see ghosts, and she hangs out with unexplained, amorphous demon-like things.

Inexplicably Awesome / int_e89f120b	comment	Ironically enough, Mobile Suit Gundam hero Amuro Ray is this. He's a Newtype, a new breed of psychic human in the Gundam universe postulated to come about as result of humans evolving to adapt to life in space. The UC era's strongest Newtypes, like Paptimus Scirocco and Haman Kahn (both of whom journeyed beyond the asteroid belt into the farther reaches of space), were born in space, as are most of the other Newtype heroes like Kamille Bidan and Judau Ashta. The in-universe theory of Newtypes is that they're an evolutionary trait to adapt to living in space. But Amuro, a Newtype of sufficient strength to estabish a Psychic Link with the entire White Base crew at one point, was born on Earth, and only moves to space as a teenager, and his parents similarly are Earth-born. He's average as Newtypes go, but him even being a Newtype at all contradicts everything we're told about them.

No explanation is given for his super intelligence, nor how his entire family (aside from Brian) are completely oblivious to what Stewie is up to all the time. Though an early season episode mentions Lois possibly smoked pot while she was pregnant with Stewie as a potential explanation of how he's so intelligent. Brian is an anthropomorphic dog in a world where almost all other dogs are regular dogs. Unlike Stewie, everyone understands Brian when he talks, but nobody questions it.

Inexplicably Awesome / int_ec28245c	comment	Goku at the start of the series. Nothing was known about his past other than he was found in the mountains by his grandfather and was raised in isolation for a number of years. Other than that, everything about Goku was up in the air like why he was so powerful, had a tail, and why he turned into a big ape during a full moon. His friends and enemies openly debated if he was even human. By Dragon Ball Z, we learned he's a Human Alien from a warrior race and he's actually a weakling by their standards. Even then, his ungodly strength and seemingly endless potential still isn't fully explained given he outpaces the Saiyan Prince, who is said to be the strongest their race have to offer. Part of it is a lot of hard work, but, as the series has shown, hard work alone can't catch natural talent unless it isn't maintained. In Dragon Ball Super, Zamasu becomes so obsessed with Goku's power and endless growth that he actually uses the Super Dragon Balls to take his body, abandoning his godly form.

Also, she curbstomps everyone and the only way to stop her is to give her what she wanted from the beginning, making her a blatant Karma Houdini and rendering everything that happened during the series pretty much pointless.

Just about all we know about his past is that he has a strained relationship with his father, has been living in a hotel since he was in middle school, and used to spend his time hanging out at a military base. None of this explains his endless supply of firearms (note that firearm ownership is almost completely illegal in Japan), ability to blackmail people on an international level, or even why he has elf ears. His existence is simply crazy awesome.

Inexplicably Awesome / int_f5f43e15	comment	The Duke, of Resident Evil Village, is similar to the Merchant (in fact, an Easter Egg—the Duke reciting the Merchant's famous "Whaddya buyin'?" catchphrase—reveals that the two know each other), both in his role in the game (providing weapons) and the total mystery surrounding him. He's Ambiguously Human at best, as he's so fat that he's quite literally bursting out of his clothes, yet nimble and able to perform Offscreen Teleportation. He also possesses many strange abilities, including cooking meals so delicious that they permanently boost Ethan's stats and laughing off full-on explosions, but the Duke never outright challenges Mother Miranda, though he does openly defy her laws seemingly without concern for the consequences. The Duke also knows a lot more than he lets on—he tells Ethan all about the Four Lords and how to restore Rose—but never says anything outright, instead providing cryptic clues and vague hints with a chuckle. Though the Duke claims to be a True Neutral who'll sell to anyone, he's also Ethan's closest ally in the game and does him constant favors, all the while claiming that he's simply providing "first-class customer service." At the end of the game, Ethan outright asks the Duke "Who—what are you?", and the Duke only laughs and says that even he doesn't know the answer.

What puts him into this territory occurs in Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire where it's revealed that he's a fusion of 6 people: 5 strange old men who also grant O-Powers and are inexplicably awesome themselves, and a once "powerless man" who was previously on a Despair Event Horizon who now serves as the "main host" for the 5 old men.

Inexplicably Awesome / int_f8acc9ea	comment	Ahti in Control is seemingly a ordinary janitor, but his Blunt Metaphors Trauma way of speaking is the most normal thing about him. When Jesse first runs into him, he directs her to an elevator that wasn't there before (in a place where his own portrait had once hung) and offhandedly responds to her internal monologue. The Oldest House is under siege by a formless Eldritch Abomination that instantly possesses anyone without a very specific kind of protection, but Ahti is both untouched and barely seems to notice. Later documents shows that the FBC, a government agency dedicated to explaining the unexplainable, can't make heads or tails of him or even keep him out of restricted areas. During the final levels, he appears during Jesse's Battle in the Center of the Mind to offer moral support. Various symbols and events connected with him throughout the game imply he's a Finnish sea god or an avatar of the Oldest House itself, but this is never made fully clear.

And yet, she chooses to spend her life tending bar on the Enterprise, usually dispensing life advice to neurotic Starfleet officers.
