So, Fingers McStealy is lurking in an alleyway waiting for a victim. Ah, here comes someone, and that fetching hat and coat look expensive. He's smiling too, so maybe he just came into money? Ooo, he even has something shiny under his coat. What Could Possibly Go Wrong? Basically this is when some random crook (and often a pretty stupid one at that) has the misfortune of targeting someone or something that's a lot Stronger Than They Look. When the Super Hero/monster/alien assassin/robot/Sorcerous Overlord from the future/other world/space appears, the criminal acts as a disposable victim they can demonstrate their powers on for the benefit of the audience. Alternatively, The Hero is held up while going about their business. If they have a Secret Identity, then it can lead to a Bruce Wayne Held Hostage scenario, but if the criminal attacked them in costume or the hero is just some badass Walking the Earth, then it typically just serves as an introduction. Bonus points if the would-be victim looks particularly vulnerable. When an assailant targets a crowd of people not knowing that Everyone Is Armed, you get this trope with strength of numbers replacing individual dangerousness. Tends to make a good Establishing Character Moment, depending on how (and how easily) the crooks are dealt with. It can be particularly useful for more heroic or sympathetic characters, as it enables them to demonstrate how effective they are in a fight without being the ones to start it, as well as criminals and bullies being an easily and quickly established targets. Occasionally this can lead to them recruiting a sidekick or other allies. Can be deeply satisfying. When the person looks vulnerable due to chronological endowment, it's likely a mighty old person. When a Video Game character does this without the game acknowledging how hopelessly outmatched they are, it's often due to Suicidal Overconfidence. See also Dude, Where's My Respect? when this keeps happening with no signs of anyone figuring out the pattern. Compare Colliding Criminal Conspiracies and Unintentionally Notorious Crime. Supertrope of Robbing the Mob Bank. Please note: the trope need not include actual mugging (though it is a popular method). As long as the provocateurs intentionally and excessively antagonize someone much more powerful than they are without knowing beforehand what they are screwing with, and get fixed accordingly, then it fits. Compare: Assassin Outclassin': When it's a Professional Killer who gets owned by their intended target. Bullying a Dragon: Messing with a powerful entity that you know can destroy you. A Mugging The Monster situation can evolve into this if the attacker is not instantly demolished, yet doesn't have the sense to back down and retreat after finding out what they're up against should the opportunity present itself. Mugging The Monster and Bullying a Dragon can exist simultaneously if the obviously dangerous-looking individual is hiding something that makes them even more dangerous. Did You Just Flip Off Cthulhu?: Showing defiance to something you know is about to kill you. Do Not Taunt Cthulhu: If they immediately stomp you into a pancake. Don't Make Me Destroy You: The target does not want to fight, even though they know they will win. They try to get the foolish attacker to back down peacefully. You Have No Idea Who You're Dealing With: An explicit warning that the attacker has made a big mistake. Fearless Fool: The character routinely gets into these situations because he's just too dumb to know better. Mook Horror Show: The bad guys are on the receiving end of a heroic character in a horrifying way, an inversion of a Slasher Movie. Paper Tiger: An inversion. However, even the Paper Tiger can be dangerous if pushed hard enough. Shooting Superman: Attacking a target who can just shrug it off. Underestimating Badassery: This situation depends on the attacker underestimating someone's ability to defend themself. Very Punchable Man: Pretty much the whole crux of this trope, as it's about some unimportant, unappealing character getting their ass handed to them in a very satisfying way. |

Carnage vs. Lucy starts off with Lucy (as Nyu) waiting for a train... whose passengers have been slaughtered by Carnage. As soon as the doors open, Carnage immediately lunges at the innocent-looking horned girl. He bites off more than he can chew when she stops him midair and tears him to pieces with her vectors (which didn't stick at all) and when she later hits him with a nuclear bomb-level attack (which did). | |

Superman/Batman: Apocalypse features a naked Kara Zor-El wandering confused into an alley just after arriving on Earth and being spotted by three workers. One decides to play Lothario and gets his ass kicked. The second tries to help his friend. The third wisely proclaims he's not with the other two and offers her his coat. | |

Seeing that the Yakuza of Tokyo had been recently eradicated, a group of South American criminals tried to fill the vacuum and get rid of the chief of the police by taking in hostage a group of middle school students from Mitakihara that included Mami Tomoe. But they're not that lucky: committing a violent crime in Tokyo means dealing with Sailor Venus... | |

In Ere We Go, Pluz Ultra!, a trio of random thugs attempt to mug Toshinori Yagi. Luckily for them, he's out of time for the day and can't transform into All-Might. Unluckily for them, Izuku is nearby and smashes them himself. Later, a pair of criminals try to murder Inko. When they refuse her insistence that they politely leave (and fix the door they broke), she presses a little red button that causes nine minigun turrets to pop out of various locations. Inko then warns them that they're merely the least lethal security measure her home has. |

DEATH BATTLE!: Most of these fights occur with the loser instigating a fight and seriously underestimating their opponent. They paid the price with their lives. Barry Allen vs. Quicksilver starts off with Quicksliver gloating about his racing prowess and punches the Flash in the attempt to cheat. Once over the pacfic ocean, Barry proves that he was holding back the entire time and gives him a No-Holds-Barred Beatdown. It ends with Quicksliver accidentally dying by being impaled on a Japanese statue. Carnage vs. Lucy starts off with Lucy (as Nyu) waiting for a train... whose passengers have been slaughtered by Carnage. As soon as the doors open, Carnage immediately lunges at the innocent-looking horned girl. He bites off more than he can chew when she stops him midair and tears him to pieces with her vectors (which didn't stick at all) and when she later hits him with a nuclear bomb-level attack (which did). Aang vs. Edward Elric has Edward falsely accusing Aang of calling him short and tries to kill him for it. He pays the price when Aang goes into the Avatar State and obliterates him with an attack of all four elements. After getting his ice cream destroyed when Sailor Galaxia blew up the Earth while he was on it, Beerus confronts her. Her response? Insult him by poking his eyes. He quickly teaches her he was not to be messed with by turning her into Ludicrous Gibs and having her pieces be sucked into a black hole. Venom vs. Crona has Venom encounter Crona and Ragnarok entering the church while he was praying and thinking Crona would be easy prey, attack them. Unfortunately for them, Crona's sound-based weapon ensured Venom's demise (although the first attempt was shrugged off due to Venom being a distance away and had a Healing Factor, the next attempt succeeded with Venom being pinned down unable to escape a close-up max power attack from Crona's soundwave attack). The Incredible Hulk vs. Broly starts off with Hulk going out of his way to deliberately provoke a meditating Broly for no reason other than simple bull-headed bravado. When the fighting starts, Broly quickly closes the power gap between them and rips his head off. It evolves into Bullying a Dragon when the Hulk continues to attack and goad Broly despite this, who later proceeds to overwhelm and obliterate him so thoroughly that even his Resurrective Immortality couldn’t bring him back. During their match up, Homelander provokes Omni-Man via breaking into his home and killing his wife, assuming that he could just intimidate Omni-Man into obeying his demands to leave. Omni-Man, however, is barely phased by Homelander's threats and quickly shows the Number One Supe just how outclassed he in one of the shortest fights of the show's history, which results in a very nasty death for Homelander, who only realizes how royally he screwed up seconds before Omni-Man ends him. The hosts point this out in the post-fight analysis, comparing the fight to a bully picking a fight with a trained soldier. Also doubles as Bullying a Dragon, as Homelander was aware that Omni-Man was powerful but falsely believed his own powers were superior. After pulling a Kill Steal on him, Michael Myers attempts to make Jason Voorhees his next victim. As he quickly learns, however, Jason is borderline unkillable and has zero problems matching Michael in both strength and speed. In the end, Jason winds up making Michael his own victim. Killua VS Misaka has Misaka telling Killua to give back her lost Gekota badge. He, not knowing who she is, smugly taunts her to take it. The resulting fight ends with him blown into Ludicrous Gibs and the badge falling right into the exhausted Misaka's hand, and the post-analysis reiterates that Misaka is a Person of Mass Destruction with output and arsenal far outclassing his own. |

Old World of Darkness: In Werewolf: The Apocalypse, most Garou look like normal human beings while in homid form and normal wolves in lupus form; however, an attacker will get a nasty surprise when their would-be victim transforms into an eight-foot-tall clawed killing machine. Variants of this apply to all fera save perhaps the Kitsune (werefoxes), who find it more effective to just start tossing spells. In Spiritual Successor Werewolf: The Forsaken, this is significantly more inevitable due to shifting being significantly less voluntary. After a drop or two on the morality meter, a simple insult can be enough to turn a player character into a spree-murdering rage beast without the player having any control over the scene. In Vampire: The Masquerade, it's very satisfying to, after your Ventrue businessman has been stopped in transit by robbers with shotguns, take their blast in the chest, get up without any visible effect, and rip them into shreds. This is noted to be one of the main reasons why Ventrue take Fortitude.note One of the Vampire: The Masquerade books listed this as being the result of a botched roll while hunting for blood. The character ends up setting upon someone who is too much to handle (either another supernatural being or an inordinately prepared mortal), and a beating takes place instead of a meal. This is bound to happen in the New World of Darkness games: it's a Crapsack World with half a dozen flavours of human-looking supernatural. Special mention goes to the Prometheans: soulless reanimated corpses, trying to learn how to be human, but who are inhumanly powerful and spread a Hate Plague against themselves wherever they go. Most of their alchemical Refinements require prolonged study; the inevitable Dragon-bullying they face is why any Promethean can instantly adopt the Refinement of Tin and say to hell with you all. |

In Life During Wartime, a canon sidestory to Neon Metathesis Evangelion, two thugs try to mug Kaworu, Kensuke and Mana at night, thinking them easy prey. However, Mana has been fully trained by the JSSDF in close quarter combat, and unlike the other sort of training she has received, that one has always come easily to her. The thugs have no chance. | |

However, they were supposed to be continuing basic training, not freaking out at the appearance of an Orange Lantern and attacking him on sight. If they had checked their databases, they would have known, not only that he had an appointment, but also that he has Enlightenment Super Powers and has bonded with the universal embodiment of avarice, resulting in his soul being largely made of orange light — meaning that even five on one, it only takes seconds before they're chained up and he's holding all their power rings. There's a more straightforward example when Paul is strolling incognito through Gotham and doesn't bother to cross the street to avoid three teenagers. One of them confronts him and starts mouthing off, then shoving him — to absolutely no effect — and then notices his glowing orange eyes. And ability to teleport. No hard feelings, though; Paul just smiles at them, suggests that they all keep things peaceful, and hands them a pizza he was keeping in subspace, which terrifies them more than ever. |

During their match up, Homelander provokes Omni-Man via breaking into his home and killing his wife, assuming that he could just intimidate Omni-Man into obeying his demands to leave. Omni-Man, however, is barely phased by Homelander's threats and quickly shows the Number One Supe just how outclassed he in one of the shortest fights of the show's history, which results in a very nasty death for Homelander, who only realizes how royally he screwed up seconds before Omni-Man ends him. The hosts point this out in the post-fight analysis, comparing the fight to a bully picking a fight with a trained soldier. Also doubles as Bullying a Dragon, as Homelander was aware that Omni-Man was powerful but falsely believed his own powers were superior. | |

Unfortunately for them, the Koprulu sector is such a hostile place that Terrans always set up their military first before allowing civilians on a new colony. | |

In his "Road Rage" TV Special, Ben Bailey relates an incident that took place during Cash Cab. In a traffic jam, an electrician stuck behind his cab tried to have an altercation with him, and clearly did not expect the big, intimidating, pissed-off Ben Bailey to step out to meet him. And then have the production crew — 8 big guys, one of whom was a NYC police detective — step out of their vehicle nearby to back him up. | |

Of all character combinations, this happens in the Doctor Who Magazine Twelfth Doctor comic strips when the Delgado Master goes up against Twelve. He's clearly unprepared to come up against a later Doctor who is much more battlescarred, much more ruthless, and much less tolerant of his usual schtick of trying to gain godlike power, killing people for lulz, and using silly foreign-language aliases. | |

Supermarioglitchy4's Super Mario 64 Bloopers: Mario proceed to piss off Gabe Newell in R64: Mario The Waiter even though he could get in trouble very easily (he burnt down the entire diner and then tried denying it). Not surprisingly, he gets sent to a place with Gabe's face on it and has Big Smoke attack him for it. The series's direct Spinoff, Sunset Paradise, proves that just because she's currently part of the spin-off, it doesn't mean that Meggy Spletzer lost any badassness, if the shark that stole her catch and got subsequently hung up by its tail and the Spud Gang having to fight her off when they previously could breeze though everyone else has anything to say. |

Hellsing Ultimate Abridged: Zorin Blitz leads the vampire attack on the Hellsing manor, dismissing the Wild Geese mercenary guards and Seras, a recently-turned vampire police officer, as minimal threats, even calling Seras "a stupid, big-tittied police girl." Then, after killing most of the Wild Geese, including their leader Pip, and cutting off one of Seras' arms and blinding her, Seras drinks Pip's blood, and turns into a terrifying blur of vampiric violence who kills Zorin and her entire unit single-handedly. Alucard decided to play this trope for shits and giggles if his Twitter is anything to go by. |

Downplayed in Risk It All. Ren's powers make him more than a match for the average person, but the fact that he lacks Super-Toughness means that any guy with a gun can kill him. He's terrified when a man pulls a gun on him to mug him and rather than be Batman he begins meekly forking over his cash, only collecting himself after the man had started walking away. That's when he breaks the man's arm and takes his money back. | |

Oh, do the four love this trope in The Keys Stand Alone: The Soft World. It comes into play every time someone attacks them, and they make quite a bit of money this way, thanks to the Blameless Victim Revenge Law — if you're attacked for no reason and you win, you legally get to keep anything you want off the attackers. And since the four never once initiate an attack or do anything to encourage one besides walking around.... They call it “fishing.� Don't fuck with Nine Thousands! And it's a damn good thing the four are Actual Pacifists. Though the city muggers, at least, figure out what's going on after two nights of “fishing.� But the outworlders don't, or can't believe the four are that powerful... despite them being nicknamed the Awesome Foursome after less than two days of mostly just wandering around as tourists. |

Your Doctor, your Commander, now you. This whole ship will sustain me. You aren't going to cry? I want to taste your tears." But what the creature doesn't know is that Kirk has been struggling against his new Superpowered Evil Side courtesy of Khan's blood.

Not Always Right: Rude customers periodically find out that the employees they are harassing are not to be messed with. Still others apply for jobs and then discover that the employee they were rude to earlier is from human resources... or the manager. A naval lieutenant decides to throw his weight around in a civilian restaurant and makes the mistake of antagonizing another diner... who happens to be a Rear Admiral stationed at the same base. Similarly, lousy employees often discover that they've been acting like a Jerkass in front of a secret shopper or an upper-level manager. |

Exalted: Unfortunately for the various monsters, hostile beings, and generally unsavory types across Creation, conditions and circumstances can result in this being an easy mistake to make. There are charms that allow the titular Exalts to disguise themselves in impossible ways and others which let them keep their weapons and armor hidden in Elsewhere, ready to be used at a moment's notice with only a minor expenditure of essence. As a result, attackers might not discover that the short, cute, small-framed teenaged girl they are trying to mug/capture to sell as a slave/etc., is actually a someone who can beat up gods, wields a ginormous golden sword, and is perfectly capable of reducing them to paste — or, if they're an Infernal and/or feeling like indulging in a little overkill, a smoking crater in the ground — until it's too late. If said muggers are lucky and possessed of a moderate amount of sense, the Exalt will just flare their Caste Mark or Anima Banner and scare them off. Jury is still out as to whether or not it's more satisfying than simply beating the stuffing out of them. Or flashing your caste mark and kill them while they are too busy soiling themselves... This happens in a pre-chapter comic in one of the sourcebooks; a sea god and his giant talking dog/fish steed come across a shipwreck survivor and discuss whether or not to keep him as a Sex Slave, only for it to turn out the survivor was Cathak Drogath, a Dragon-Blooded. The last panel shows the fishdog with a new black eye and issuing the latest of several apologies, with the Drogath standing on his back and the sea god nowhere in sight. |

Dragon Ball Z Abridged: Garlic Junior falls afoul of this twice. In the Dead Zone Abridged movie, Garlic Junior sends his minions out to collect the dragon balls so he can wish for immortality. One of the dragon balls is attached to the hat a young Gohan wears, and the minions choose to abduct Gohan rather than simply take the ball. As soon as Garlic Junior realizes who Gohan is and that his incompetent group of underlings have kidnapped the son of the World's Strongest Man (after they beat the crap out the guy's wife), he begins panicking over the Roaring Rampage of Revenge he fears Goku will unleash on them. After escaping from the Dead Zone in Episode 31, Garlic Jr. and his new crew of henchmen try to take over the Lookout while Kami is away and Mr. Popo is running it. After refusing to clean up the mess they made of the place, Garlic Jr. tries to monologue to Popo about who he is, apparently completely ignorant that Mr. Popo is anything but Kami's assistant. Popo soon loses patience with Garlic Junior and winds up "assimilating" him and his minions. |

He's unaware that a) Akira has years of experience as an underground street fighter, and b) Akira is best friends with Seiji Amanome, aka Maruhashi's superior. He quickly goes down, and later on, apologizes profusely to Akira for his mistake. | |

Big Finish Doctor Who: A villainous twist on the trope in "The Sky Man" sees a group of desperate, sick, and starving farmers trying to rob the Master, because they believe him to have food and medical supplies, and think that he is just a harmless, elderly hermit. Their assessment is, of course, completely wrong. The story then cuts to the nearby village, where the Master's "companion"/Unwitting Pawn Cole talks with a local woman. She pauses the conversation when she says that she thinks she can hear faint screaming in the distance. Cole says that It's Probably Nothing. |

Dungeons & Dragons: Metallic dragons intentionally invoke this trope. One of their favorite tricks in combating evil is to use their Shapeshifting ability (many metallics have this upon birth) to turn into something that seems weak. When some evil idiot takes the bait, they don't have very long to live. It's actually a part of their mythology: one story involves an apparently harmless old man who would entertain travelers with his seven trained canaries. Then a band of ogres, led by an ogre mage, started down the road to kill or rob all the folks on it... and found that the old man was the metallic dragon god Bahamut, and those canaries were all great wyrm gold dragons in disguise. Al-Qadim has a tale about "why dragons so rarely appear over the place". A big red from the North flew in, only to immediately get himself into troubles with the local populace. Eventually, he was reduced to telling his woes to the next creature he met. The "child" heard the story, gently told the dragon those people did in fact go easy on him because he doesn't know better and there's folk whom they obey without question — and helped the poor battered, hungry, and tired lizard, returning him to his sweet home. On an intercontinental guided whirlwind. The moral, of course, is "try not to annoy genies or, just in case, anyone." Forgotten Realms: On top of "usual" dangers (such as archmages going about their private business in magical disguise or creatures that would send townpeople into a screaming run if they didn't resort to mimicry), there are many people who are well aware of their world's trends and hold a lot of power while not caring at all to advertise it. There's also a possibility of Urban Encounters with Muggers all being multiple levels below the party. |

"Damn uppity Eleven, you think you're somebody because you can speak English and wear a suit." Light Yagami asks if he may at least know the names of his executioners.

Several examples found in X-Men: The Early Years: A thief attempts to snatch the purse of Jean "incredibly powerful psychic with an incredibly short fuse" Grey. It doesn't end well for him. But at least Hank didn't lock him down in a basement and re-engineer him his genes, so yay? A high-school bully called Bruno picks on Bobby until Bobby gets fed up and retaliates. Later on, Bruno can be seen screaming Bobby is an “agent of Satan�. |

In Vampire: The Masquerade, it's very satisfying to, after your Ventrue businessman has been stopped in transit by robbers with shotguns, take their blast in the chest, get up without any visible effect, and rip them into shreds. This is noted to be one of the main reasons why Ventrue take Fortitude.note One of the Vampire: The Masquerade books listed this as being the result of a botched roll while hunting for blood. The character ends up setting upon someone who is too much to handle (either another supernatural being or an inordinately prepared mortal), and a beating takes place instead of a meal. | |

Three examples in Mortal Kombat vs Marvel Universe in regards to the Cage family: When Norman Osborn kidnaps Cassie and her sister, Ravenna, in revenge for their parents beating the crap out of him, he expects Johnny to surrender Cage Incorporated in exchange for their release. He, nor the Hand's gang, Madame Masque or the Purple Man did not know about Cassie and Ravenna being mutant telepaths. Cue the asskicking and skullcracking S.H.I.E.L.D. raids a home in upstate New York, as they suspect that Jessica Jones is hiding there. Nope, it's Cassie, who mows down the Capekillers and several heroes. It takes Iron Man to stop her. Johnny Cage vs a group of muggers. Guess what happens next. |

Interesting variation where the mugging goes both ways in Shepard's R&R. Pinkie Pie shoots a party cannon at Grunt, the diplomats think they're under attack, and Luna restrains them before they could respond. Luna and Shepard almost come to blows while demanding the other to back down. Shepard doesn't realize he's confronting an actual Physical God who could kill him with a thought, while Luna doesn't realize that she's threatening a galactic legend whose death would draw the wrath of all the other races, and her promises "to send him to the moon" are very ineffectual against someone whose people willingly live on moons. | |

In Traveller, Vargr hardly ever raid Zhodani. The reason why is that when they do, they know that the Zhodani will take years tracking down the perps. Then when they do this, their retribution will be sure, whether it takes the form of Death from Above or the more frightening form of kidnapping Vargr and brainwashing them. | |

In Dead West, this sometimes happens. Nice examples include a bunch of thugs attacking a group of aristocrat doctors-in-training on a charity night (they were making rounds in the worst part of Paris, treating everyone who needed their services). Most of the group were harmless enough, but on that particular night the Porcelain Doctor, a Hungarian amateur, and a firegun enthusiast engineer student decided to tag along (and the former two had bodyguards nearby). The incident ended with the "Soft" members of the team patching up their attackers, but we never get a full recount of the action. Usually, some idiots try to harrass the Porcelain Doctor, since he is a bit effeminate, and doesn't look really menancing (he is very short for an aristocrat, but average for a commoner, and has a very slim build). The wanna-be-muggers sometimes are able to get off with a warning, but several times it ends badly for them, as Niall has a pretty short fuse, and he is armed with a sword-cane and Psychic Powers. | |

In one Knights of the Dinner Table story, Bob takes the Untouchable Trio's tendency to mistreat hirelings to a new low, declaring his intent to slap them around until they are psychologically broken and desperate for their master's approval. B.A. sets him up with an NPC hireling named "Skinny Stiltskin". When Bob pushes Skinny to the point of fighting back, B.A. describes him as a hulking brute who easily beats the tar out of Bob's character. When Bob protests, B.A. points out that Bob never asked for a description but merely assumed that Skinny's physique fit his name — in fact, he was exactly the opposite, like Little John from the Robin Hood stories. This case is thus an example of Mugging the Monster for Bob, but would be Bullying a Dragon in-universe for Bob's character. | |

This has a lot of ramifications on the plot, since the mugger was one of their old classmates, and it gets to the point that the world believes that Tommy was the original Black Ranger. They eventually have to send in TJ to ensure that the mugger changes his story. Later on in the story, a Troobian ship attacks a "Ranger Kegger". Attended by every Power Ranger on Earth (pre-SPD). Many of whom that still have their powers and/or various other miscellaneous skills. All of whom are still very, very adept at beating the hell out of foot soldiers. Things do not go well for the Troobians. |

In Gilbert and Sullivan's Ruddigore, the sailor Richard Dauntless introduces himself with a song about how his own ship (a revenue sloop) attacks what they think is a French merchantman, but turns out to be a frigate (i.e., a warship far better armed than a sloop) with some accurate gunners on board. In charming rhyme, he explains how their captain decides to spare the poor Frenchies by running away very, very fast. | |

In Wilhuff Tarkin, Hero of the Rebellion the encounter between Tarkin and the coalition of Tusken tribes has three examples: The Tusken were ready to attack the moisture farms around Anchorhead, and only knew of the settlers, and couldn't know that the Grand Moff of the Outer Rim was there to snap his niece out of her depression. All in all, they were lucky he found Orbital Bombardment excessive and instead came up with a plan to decimate them while also breaking the coalition and leave the survivors traumatized. Tarkin's plan initially goes well... Then the main Tusken's chief pulls out a lightsaber, as he's actually the Tusken-born Jedi Master A'sharad Hett. Tarkin quickly comes up with a way to deal with him, but it's implied that if plan b had failed, he would have gone for the Orbital Bombardment route, and same if he had known about that surprise in the first place. Had Tarkin not intervened first, the Tusken would have been faced with Obi-Wan Kenobi, who would have made short work of the chief and chased away the rest. In fact a later chapter reveals he was already walking to their camp, and only Tarkin having a speeder and thus arriving first kept him from doing the job himself. |

He quickly teaches her he was not to be messed with by turning her into Ludicrous Gibs and having her pieces be sucked into a black hole. | |

In the prologue for a 1 Minute Melee, Dio Brando, the loser of a previous melee, tries to suck the blood of the first person to get near his beaten body. Unfortunately for him, that first person is none other than Kenshiro, who counters The World and dropkicks Dio out of the scene. | |

In the RPG Dark Heresy, this is actually the PCs' job. And it has the expected results until you figure out that flipping off a Daemon is a Bad Plan and maybe you should try shooting the guy that just summoned it in the head. From over there. Waaay over there. | |

At one point in The Rise of Darth Vulcan, the titular Villain Protagonist visits the port town of Port Royal to recruit some pirates for an expedition, and a stallion tries to mug him at swordpoint. Both Ted and his Number Two, Artful Dodger, lampshade the stupidity of this, as even though the former has ditched his armor to travel incognito, he still towers over the pony, and for that matter the outfit he is wearing apparently still makes him look like a Ringwraith. The mugger is lucky to get away with just being knocked out. | |

Helluva Boss: In the episode �Western Energy�, a trio of cowboys decide to gang up on and antagonize a small imp at a gas station just because the imp is wearing the same hat as one of them. Said imp happens to be Moxxie, a weapons expert and Professional Killer by trade. The end result of that confrontation is three dead cowboys and one exploded gas station. What makes this impressive from Moxxie’s side is that he’s been firmly established to be the physically weakest member at I.M.P, as his specialty lies in using firearms, but he takes on the cowboys on his own without firing his gun even once and still wins not only easily, but almost casually. | |

Gordon Freeman in Freeman's Mind never goes out of his way to attack other humans (aliens are different; that's community service and stress relief) and just wants to escape Black Mesa, but the army still tries to kill him as part of an ill-conceived cover-up. At which point they learn that he's carrying a massive arsenal, is wearing an impenetrable suit of armor, and is totally capable of murdering any soldier not killed by the others' stupidity first. | |

Unfortunately for him, in this AU Laurel is the one who went on the Gambit with Oliver instead of Sara, and thus the one who ended up in the League of Assassins before deserting to rejoin Oliver. All Mathis gets for his troubles is a broken nose and a quick trip back to Iron Heights. | |

Magic: The Gathering: Tormented Pariah shows a group of village hooligans tormenting a helpless victim. When the card is flipped, the art shows the moon rising and the victim turning into a snarling werewolf. "The Witch of the Woods" opens with a Falkenrath vampire, a member of a bloodline who embraces savagery and can take on monstrous forms, leading an angry village mob on a chase after having killed their village elder. As night falls, he stops to let them catch up and, as he shifts into his bestial shape, gloats about how this has been fun, but they were never a threat to him and they should have heeded the old warnings about not hunting at night. The hunters just laugh and, as the full moon rises and they start growing fangs and fur, remark that those warnings only apply to humans. The vampire is only left with a short while to contemplate the complexities of supernatural food chains before the werewolf pack tears him to pieces. |

There are a few Five Nights at Freddy's crossovers where the security guard is not gonna let Freddy and gang do what they please; Pyro's Night At Freddy's: Pyro gets the job, and in his own Obliviously Evil way, makes one thing clear; He's not trapped with killer animatronics, the animatronics are trapped with him. New Night Guard: This time, it's Heavy, and he's a lot less oblivious. Dante's Night At Freddy's: Five haunted animatronics. One half-demon demon hunter. Six hours of senseless carnage...for the robots. A Catgirl At Freddy's, a Fenspace crossover. A more accurate title might be "A Catgirl Armed With A Double-Barrelled Shotgun At Freddy's Who Has Her Even More Heavily Armed Boyfriend Waiting Outside". Ultimately subverted because Everybody Lives, the animatronics weren't actually serious about hurting anyone in the first place, and there's a solar system-wide APB out on the Purple Guy. |

In the third episode of Bro Trip 40,000, a spinoff of If the Emperor Had a Text-to-Speech Device, a Commissar attempts to execute an unruly Ogryn in the usual manner. Said "Ogryn" is actually Son of the Emperor Corvus Corax, who simply shrugs off the explosive bullet. And the firing squad. And the BFG. Corax doesn't kill the Commissar because he's a Death Seeker who doesn't care enough about his own life. But he does care about the people suffering under the planet's soul-crushing system, and easily persuades them to rise up in arms. The Commissar who orders his execution is the first casualty of the revolution — by his own firing squad, no less. | |

In Break Quest Club, the party gets ambushed in their first ever adventure by bandits. Naturally, they're not remotely prepared for the adventurers to stomp them. It later turns out that Magnus and Freya, their escorted merchants, were actually skilled at magic and trained with a crossbow respectively, and went around as a Bonnie and Clyde style duo, meaning the bandits couldn't have picked a worse target if they tried. | |

In the Invader Zim fandom, a common plot for anti-Gaz fanfics is for her to attack a supernatural being or other creature for annoying her, who then shows her its true power by doing something either painful or humiliating to her. For example, in Misery Loves Company, she shoves and yells at a woman in a cemetery, who turns out to be a witch far more powerful than her. She ends up kidnapping Gaz, making her run through a gauntlet of humiliating booby traps, and wiping her memories to adopt her as her new child. | |

When the fighting starts, Broly quickly closes the power gap between them and rips his head off. It evolves into Bullying a Dragon when the Hulk continues to attack and goad Broly despite this, who later proceeds to overwhelm and obliterate him so thoroughly that even his Resurrective Immortality couldn’t bring him back. | |

Warhammer 40,000: In the RPG Dark Heresy, this is actually the PCs' job. And it has the expected results until you figure out that flipping off a Daemon is a Bad Plan and maybe you should try shooting the guy that just summoned it in the head. From over there. Waaay over there. A more human example, the fluff sometimes makes notes of many former Imperial Guardsmen settling down on planets they conquered. This led to some robbers finding out the hard way that a bar called The 127th is named after a certain platoon, that the grumpy old men are veterans of battles against unimaginable horrors, and that the lasgun above the bar is not a replica. The Tau Empire saw these Imperial worlds right next to their territory, annexed them without much difficulty and figured that the Imperium must be comparable to their own domain in scope and size. That is, until they got hit with the Damocles Gulf Crusade, realized that the Imperium of Man is several orders of magnitude larger and more powerful and the Crusade was but a mere fraction of their strength, and that the only reason the Tau is still alive is because The Imperium is too busy fighting wars with everyone else in the galaxy. The arrival of Hive Fleet Behemoth forced the Imperium into a peace treaty with the Tau and letting them go as buffer states, but ever since that the Tau must tread lightly lest the Imperium sends a larger Crusade that might actually wipe them. |

The Halloweeners are this trope invoked for even the squishiest of mage or decker. Subverted in Kaloon's Walled City. The place is so vicious that literal monsters like Insect Spirits actually do get successfully mugged if they make the mistake of going there. |

After initially meeting him at Ino's family store and dismissing him as a weakling, gang members Dosu, Zaku and Kin happen upon Naruto later in the evening and decide it'll be a good idea to make a game out of beating him up. Only problem is, Naruto happens to be one of the infamous Nine Terrors, people who could destroy cities with ease in the back-story; the end result is that the entire gang winds up with broken bones and their motorcycles smashed to pieces. Much later, it veers into Bullying a Dragon territory when Mizuki takes more of his gang to confront Naruto, Naruto beats up several of them single-handedly and then reveals who he is...and Mizuki decides to take him on anyway, with not-too-surprising results. | |

The man challenges Izuku to a contest of strength, first punching a cushioned receiver and then to an old-fashioned arm wrestling match, to settle who gets it even though Izuku was more than willing to just let him have it. Being Kryptonian, Izuku crushes the man handily without even meaning to, even tossing him into the air and dislocating the man's shoulder. | |

Boldores And Boomsticks: Team Rocket thugs have broken into a Pokémon nursery to steal the eggs, but their Drowzee misses the young girl currently on watch. That was their first mistake. Their second was assuming a rich-looking girl with no Pokémon of her own would be easy to cow. Weiss Schnee draws her sword and disabuses them of that notion rapidly. They do this again in a later chapter, when Cassidy and Butch, a couple of higher-level agents, threaten all of RWBY. One starts to monologue about how his new Poké Ball can steal Pokémon from their trainers — and Ruby simply shoots it out of his hand. Then they pull out a pair of high-level Pokémon, who themselves assume it's going to be a simple matter to intimidate the girls. Yang proceeds to gleefully wipe the floor with them. Faba tries to threaten Watts with his Raichu only to end up with the doctor's revolver to his head. |

Voyages of the Wild Sea Horse: Our heroes, the Kamikaze Pirates, actually fall afoul of this in chapter 18, when they pull a Black-Tie Infiltration of the birthday party of an island governor who has recently beem promoted to the rank of Navy Commodore, having come to believe that the Navy are largely made up of corrupt, ineffectual weaklings. It turns out that the man they are intent on robbing, one Baron Sukumvit, is actually a proud scion of a family that has been hunting Grand Line beasts and Zoan-using pirate captains for fun for generations, and he earned his rank the old-fashioned way. Ranma's only forewarning is when the Baron reacts to Ranma's declaration of being a pirate captain with the attitude of a kid getting a much-anticipated present before the Baron delivers a brutal Curb-Stomp Battle that Ranma narrowly escapes from. In chapter 20, a young boy named Anaguma smuggles himself onto the Kamikaze Pirates' ship in hopes of taking one down for a bounty, as he thought they looked like the weakest crew gathered for the Dead End Race. The Kamikazes, at this point, include over half a dozen different Badass Normals, an Animorphism-using Empowered Badass Normal in Shampoo, and Miriam, a giant shark woman who is literally big enough to pick Anaguma up by the scruff of his neck between forefinger and thumb. Upon seeing her face to face, Anaguma immediately starts begging her not to eat him. And that's after Shampoo nonchalantly dodges Anaguma's attempt to shoot him and hauls him onto the deck like a bag of potatoes. |

My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic: In the Ponies of Olympus series, Rainbow Dash and Scootaloo at one point go to Storm Alley to visit Dash's old mentor Amber Spark, and are harassed by some thugs who want to have some "fun" with them. Since both mares in question are Action Girls, they easily kick ass. Played interestingly in Princess Celestia Gets Mugged: while wandering around Canterlot in her civilian guise Sunny Skies, Princess Celestia is ambushed, mugged, and subsequently kidnapped and held to ransom. Despite being able to escape at any time, Celestia plays along with it out of amusement. In Progress, two stallions flirt with the incognito Luna and try to get her Unsuspectingly Soused. When she catches on, arse-kicking ensues. Interesting variation where the mugging goes both ways in Shepard's R&R. Pinkie Pie shoots a party cannon at Grunt, the diplomats think they're under attack, and Luna restrains them before they could respond. Luna and Shepard almost come to blows while demanding the other to back down. Shepard doesn't realize he's confronting an actual Physical God who could kill him with a thought, while Luna doesn't realize that she's threatening a galactic legend whose death would draw the wrath of all the other races, and her promises "to send him to the moon" are very ineffectual against someone whose people willingly live on moons. At one point in The Rise of Darth Vulcan, the titular Villain Protagonist visits the port town of Port Royal to recruit some pirates for an expedition, and a stallion tries to mug him at swordpoint. Both Ted and his Number Two, Artful Dodger, lampshade the stupidity of this, as even though the former has ditched his armor to travel incognito, he still towers over the pony, and for that matter the outfit he is wearing apparently still makes him look like a Ringwraith. The mugger is lucky to get away with just being knocked out. A Reaper attempts to indoctrinate Celestia in Why No One Messes with Celestia, ignoring her demands that it release her subjects and leave, citing her species' "inferiority". Celestia responds by shooting it with a beam of molten plasma, the center of which is theorized to be millions of degrees centigrade. In You Call That a Costume?, while lost downtown, Personality Swapped Rarity and Applejack encounter a mugger who wants the jewels Applejack is wearing. Unfortunately, he makes a big mistake when he calls Rarity "Toots". In one chapter of New Beginnings, a mugger interrupted Page and a disguised Princess Luna on their date. Subverted; their guards took him out before they did. Discord's New Business: Everyone who messed with Zebra!Luna. Not a one of them realizes she's actually a disguised Princess, or that she'll be informing Celestia of the racism she encountered in Canterlot. |

Child of the Storm: A handsy, tipsy middle-aged Roxxon executive gropes a pretty blonde teenager (Carol Danvers), ignoring the anger of her new friend (Harry Potter a.k.a. Harry Thorson), who happens to be a) a demigod (even if The Call Put Me on Hold), b) a young wizard. It really becomes this, though, when he tries to brush off a young, glasses-wearing black man who intervenes seeking an apology from him, and calls said young man an "interfering N-Word Privileges son-of-a-bitch." Said young man is Crown Prince T'Challa of Wakanda, a.k.a. the Black Panther. It does not take a genius to figure out what happens next. In the sequel, Harry's childhood bullies end up picking a fight with him when he has a look around the old estate. Harry is by this point a Person of Mass Destruction with borderline Super-Soldier level physical abilities, with general combat training from a number of Avengers and specifically in aikido from Sean Cassidy a.k.a. Banshee. Unsurprisingly, Carol is left idly wondering where to get some popcorn. |

Killua VS Misaka has Misaka telling Killua to give back her lost Gekota badge. He, not knowing who she is, smugly taunts her to take it. The resulting fight ends with him blown into Ludicrous Gibs and the badge falling right into the exhausted Misaka's hand, and the post-analysis reiterates that Misaka is a Person of Mass Destruction with output and arsenal far outclassing his own. | |

Because he's out of the loop, V.V. in Six Paths Of Rebellion goes to kidnap Nunnally much like canon. Unfortunately for him, her blindness and inability to walk have both been cured months prior and Nunnally has turned into quite the athlete, and her Ninja Maid is present as well. On top of this, both Sayoko and Nunnally have been given the Rinnegan by C.C., leaving V.V. confronting two outright superhumans while in the body of a ten year old boy. Nunnally makes him suffer immensely before allowing C.C. to kill him. | |

In Nomine: An angel or demon's abilities remain the same regardless of what their earthly Vessel happens to look like — which means that 9-year-old girl on the playground you just tried to abduct could actually be a 700-year-old Malakite warrior angel who considers you practice. At best. This becomes even more so with Kyriotates and Shedim, who possess ordinary mortals, using their celestial abilities through a host. So that 90-year-old grandpa who really was so sweet and helpless five minutes ago is now anything but when a Shedite of Death is in the driver's seat... | |

However, they did not reckon with his CO, one Ernest J. King, who was infamous (both IOTL and ITTL) for his temper, as well as being A Father to His Men. Cue King showing up at the police station the next morning with his ship's entire Marine complement, demanding Johnson's release. | |

In Buffy the Vampire Slayer/Supergirl story The Vampire of Steel: Subverted. Two vampires ambush a seemingly ordinary bystander at night. Said bystander is Zol-Am, a Kryptonian who can kill them in the twinkling of an eye. But he gets cocky and although he rams his arm straight through the chest of one of them, the second bit his neck and left him dry. Played straight shortly after when two vampires assault him. Two heat beams rather they were two bodies littering the ground. |

Service with a Smile: An indirect example. The thugs who put Jaune in the hospital and trash his business inadvertently put themselves in the crosshairs of the hormonal Huntsmen and Huntresses in training, and the even less-morally restrained criminal underground, that love Jaune and/or his diner. Another indirect example occurs when Alexander Sterling calls the ones smearing his business practice liars without first finding out who it is, thinking it's Jaune Arc. Instead it's Weiss Schnee and he's just directly insulted the Schnee family who own the largest MegaCorp in Remnant. Alexander Sterling tries to have his bodyguard remove Velvet when she refuses to let him see Jaune. Velvet easily places the larger man in a submission hold with the implied threat of breaking his shoulder if he resists. |

The Secret Return of Alex Mack: At eight-year-old Shar's new school, naturally there are boys who give her a hard time when she cries at things that remind her of her murdered parents. Alex lets the school staff know about the problem, pointing out that it's possible she'll flip out and scratch them up with her nails or something. The real danger isn't her nails, though, it's her epic-level pyrokinesis; if Shar truly lost control, they'd be lucky to identify the bodies. Of anyone in the entire school. Clare Tobias tries to take Alex hostage so she can get away after her cover is blown, not realising that Alex could turn silvery in an instant and be immune to anything she can do, zap her unconscious, or telekinetically pinch her carotid artery shut. Alex does have to get a bit creative because she's undercover too, but her power set just has so many options for taking someone down... |

In the Firefly fanfic Forward, during the "Mosaic" story arc, a group of thugs manage to board Serenity and capture most of the crew. While most of the crew put up a good fight, the only one they capture without a struggle is River, because she'd had a mental breakdown earlier in the story and had to be sedated. The thugs dismiss River as a non-threat because she's a small teenage girl, and when she wakes up from the drugs, most of the ensuing carnage is only heard over the radio, mixed in with the horrified screams of the men she's slaughtering. | |

In the Lone Wolf series, when in "civilized" parts of the world rather than evil fortresses or the wilderness, various rogues (robbers, thieves, bandits, pirates, backstabbers, grave diggers, pickpockets, brigands...) trying to mug the hero is a common type of fight encounter. More often than not, it's the hero who ends up richer and the cutthroats dead. Later in the series, the book may not even involve the player in such encounters. You get an off-hand paragraph that you're set upon by bandits, demanding gold but instead "receiving a harsh lesson in the powers of a Kai Master". | |

This is bound to happen in the New World of Darkness games: it's a Crapsack World with half a dozen flavours of human-looking supernatural. Special mention goes to the Prometheans: soulless reanimated corpses, trying to learn how to be human, but who are inhumanly powerful and spread a Hate Plague against themselves wherever they go. Most of their alchemical Refinements require prolonged study; the inevitable Dragon-bullying they face is why any Promethean can instantly adopt the Refinement of Tin and say to hell with you all. | |

The crossover of Vandread Halo gives the Spartan II to the all-female Space Pirates. Though the Master Chief clearly shows to be more of a Gentle Giant than he seems, the women still can't stand what would happen if they tried to pick on him. Fortunately aside that, they are savvy enough to avoid this trope. Rabat was...not so lucky. |

In the Saint Seiya/The Rising of the Shield Hero crossover The Hero Melromarc Needs and Deserves, Malty tries on Naofumi's replacement the False Rape Accusation she successfully pulled off in canon. Problem is, she's doing it with Cancer Deathmask, who's more than powerful enough to annihilate everything on the planet and has a sketchy morality as a hero-and he takes offense at the set-up. According to the side stories, she got lucky: Deathmask had a plan that would have given her a very painful death and allowed him to all but take over the country but blew it off in a fit of rage when he realized the entire situation and forgot to even kill her, but many of the other Gold Saints would have just killed her on the spot or got creative. Particularly bad for her and everyone involved would have been Aries Mu, who would have simply teleported home after stealing the holy weapons (it's not stated if he would have returned with reinforcements to save the planet anyway), and Pisces Aphrodite, who would have killed her in such a way to push her father and accomplice to torture himself to death at his request. |
