Nerves of Steel	comment	Everyone has a tipping point, a Berserk Button, a threshold of shock and joy and weirdness that once crossed collapses all emotional reserve like a "Fawlty Towers" Plot. Some, however, have such an exceptionally high threshold that they'd probably greet the impending collapse of the universe with the same equanimity as cold tea. Characters with Nerves of Steel are of steel in the same way a physical body can be Made of Iron — they are nigh-unshakable. Those who have Nerves of Steel think when times are tough. They make decisions efficiently; they push their emotions aside, and so their decisions are not overly affected by them. They may be The Stoic, or they may be perfectly normal emotionally. Either way, their minds are never shoved aside when their emotion is. It is always thinking, a weapon as sharp as a sword. Characters with Nerves of Steel aren't intimidated by screams from those with a Hair-Trigger Temper, won't get upset if their Evil Plan is foiled (this is a morality neutral trait), they aren't likely to burst into tears when it turns out The Hero is Not Quite Dead and got better, and very probably won't even raise their voice to the man who murdered a Bus Full of Innocents unless the sound of their righteous ass-kicking is loud enough to require it. Even happy news and emotions aren't likely to cause exaggerated reactions of joy (though they probably enjoy a nice hearty laugh every now and then). When captured, they are defiant and likely planning their escape. Reasons for this demeanor vary. They probably have Seen It All, are naturally Spock-like, have an iron-clad Stepford Smiler facade (though on the inside they probably are banging their head against the cage) or emotionally can't be made to feel extreme emotion, such as the Tin Man. This doesn't count if the character is an Empty Shell since there isn't anyone home to excite. The Extreme Doormat may count depending on the individual case (some are just too listless to care at all, not requiring any emotional control at all). Affably Evil villains and The Chessmaster are always composed as a result of everything going according to plan. Even if this person doesn't have Psychic Powers, his incredible self-control often makes him resistant to those who do. In short, someone with Nerves of Steel is immune to the Heroic BSoD, Villainous BSoD, and Villainous Breakdown. God help us all if this proves untrue. A good trait for a Badass Bookworm to have, at least if they want both halves at the same time. Note that nerves of steel may be hard to distinguish from Tranquil Fury at times. Previously susceptible characters may suddenly develop Nerves of Steel when it's The Last Dance. Showing a Stiff Upper Lip is a good way for a character to convince other people that they have Nerves of Steel. Compare Heroic Safe Mode, where the emotional/thinking part of the brain "shuts down" to allow for instinctual survival mechanisms to work unclouded by emotions. Post-Victory Collapse is when a character fakes having Nerves of Steel, but breaks down as soon as the danger passes. Not related to Balls of Steel, which is more literal. Contrast Nervous Wreck.

Nerves of Steel / int_109f7814	comment	Sherlock: John Watson. In the first episode, Sherlock mentions this trope by name while analyzing the man who shot a serial killer. At that exact moment, he catches sight of John and realizes who he's describing. Sherlock has his moments. In the fourth episode, he's being threatened at gunpoint and is told that if he doesn't come up with a piece of information he doesn't have, John will be killed. Despite this clearly concerning him, he still remains relatively calm and thinks fast enough to deduce the information he needs. It helps that Irene gives him a vital clue at that moment by looking down at herself. Both Sherlock and John handle the finale of the first season ender pretty well — particularly the last few moments. In the same episode with Irene, John didn't as much as blink when Sherlock threw the CIA dude out the window. And he calmly threatened death on a professional killer. Sherlock remained calm with Magnusson, and Mary remained calm when she did shoot Sherlock, though she did look apologetic.

Nerves of Steel / int_1367cea0	comment	From Worm: Even in a city full of superheroes and supervillains, Skitter is an exceptionally cool customer. It's particularly evident in her fight against Mannequin, one of The Dreaded Slaughterhouse Nine — she comes up with her plan of attack literally while he is trying to slit her throat. One of the reasons Tattletale is so ferociously effective is that she doesn't let pain, injury, or threat to life and limb stop her from using her smarts, her superpower, and her vulpine grin to break down any obstacle in front of her. Miss Militia from the Protectorate East-North-East is also remarkably good at keeping her head in dangerous and chaotic situations. Jessica Yamada, introduced in Interlude 18 (Donation Bonus #3), is an unpowered therapist specializing in working with superpowered individuals, most of whom could kill her as easily as swatting a fly. Even in the face of intense fear, she maintains a calm demeanor for her patients' benefit.

A Non-Action Guy who ended up in charge of a loose coalition of refugees, colonists, political dissidents, and ex-Imperial Fleet personnel, he's nonetheless a cool hand on the tiller. In one cutscene a Tal Shiar officer beams into his office in the middle of the night when he's working late to try and offer an Enemy Mine. D'Tan's response is to tell her to make an appointment and come back during regular business hours.

Nerves of Steel / int_17fa5f0a	comment	Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Lee Jordan reacts to the new Police State that is actively hunting down and killing "undesirables" and dissenters by starting up Potterwatch, of which he is the announcer and continuously makes jokes at the regime's expense and goes out of his way to report on deaths and other things which the regime is doing everything in their power to hide despite the fact that they are actively hunting him and sometimes get so close that it delays his broadcasts. Severus Snape, for years of lying to the face of Voldemort, who is among the best Legilimens/mind readers in the world and generally a terrifying, paranoid, most evil Dark Lord in history. Even after Harry â€œdiedâ€�, Neville tells Voldemort that heâ€™ll join him when â€œhell freezes overâ€�. Voldemort sets the sorting hat on fire, puts it on Neville. What does Neville do? He pulls the Sword of Gryffindor out of the hat and chops off Naginiâ€™s head, making Voldemort mortal once and for all. All while, once again, heâ€™s on fire!

Nerves of Steel / int_1b021fcb	comment	Chie Hori from Tokyo Ghoul. An incredibly short girl with absolutely zero combat ability, who has spent nearly the last decade regularly trolling Ghouls and coming out on top. Her friendship with Tsukiyama was cemented when he held her out an 8th story window and she didn't even blink. It isn't that she's foolish, even though she often gives that impression — instead, she's simply got the world's best poker face and a knack for out-witting people before they even realize they've been conned.

Nerves of Steel / int_1cc09117	comment	Bleach: When Uryuu loses his powers, the only way to regain them is to have a giant, flaming energy arrow fired into an exact location 19mm to the right of his heart. This can only occur when his life is on the line, stretching his body and spirit to the absolute limit. In other words, not only does he have to be shot in a location that will kill him if it is off by a hair, but he has to be a moving target for it to work. His father, Ryuuken, who has to perform the shot, makes it look easy solely because he doesn't turn a hair when doing it. Later on, when he leaves the room and lights up a cigarette to relax, the moment strongly indicates it wasn't easy for him at all, he was simply that good at disciplining himself when it mattered. Fridge Brilliance, perhaps, as Ryuuken is also an extremely talented surgeon, a job that requires nerves of steel every day. To everyone's surprise, Mizuiro turns out to have these. When he wakes up in a town that's been thrust into the spirit world and is therefore practically a ghost town, he reacts by stocking up on essentials — rations food, tasers, and other weapons. When attacked by a being that can literally vaporise things at the touch, he nonchalantly throws a bottle at him to test the enemy's capability. Upon realising that the rumour about this being vaporising things is true, he doesn't bat an eyelid and coolly throws a Molotov cocktail at him instead. He's only mildly surprised that it doesn't work and, for a moment, his companions are actually more nervous of him than they are of the Big Bad.

That said, she's still plenty emotional and there are plenty of things that can shake her. Rokurou Rangetsu is a more straight example, though his Blue-and-Orange Morality and Manchild state is partly to blame.

Nerves of Steel / int_2664f44a	comment	Like a Dragon: It's frankly astonishing how well Haruka deals with all the incredibly dangerous situations life has been throwing at her since she was a young girl. While later games suggest that her traumatic past experiences with the Yakuza have toughened her up considerably, she was already pretty strong-willed in the face of danger as far back as the first game. Tanimura from Yakuza 4 almost always maintains his apathetic facade, whether it's facing down armed crooks or playing Russian Roulette. This was even more apparent in the original version of the game, with his combat vocalizations being more low-key compared to the other playable characters (the remastered voice actor gives him a more hot-blooded edge, which maintains the effect by replacing his apathy with cockiness). Takasugi from Yakuza 5 is impressively unflappable for a small-time loan shark. He walks in on a tense conversation between Shinada and Daigo and doesn't bat an eye when Daigo pulls a gun on him, merely snarking as he raises his hands. Later on, Manabe angrily pulls a knife on him when he asks him a question on a rather sensitive topic, and he continues to snark about how suspicious such behavior is. Tachibana from Yakuza 0 is always shown to be calm and collected, best examplified towards the end of the game where he remains cooly defiant while being tortured to death. Yakuza: Like a Dragon: Ichiban Kasuga is usually an excitable goofball, but he can turn positively icy when the situation calls for it. Early in the game he doesnâ€™t so much as flinch when a Geomijul hitman fires a crossbow that grazes his right cheek, and he shows absolutely no fear when Ryo/Masato points a gun at him in the ending. Saeko is one on a technical level, as her experience as a barmaid provides her with greater psychological resilience towards Fear, Drunk, Charm, and Silence than her teammates, which are classified as mental status effects. Like a Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name shows that Masaru Watase was shockingly composed during his appearance in the above game since the climax reveals that he was dealing a very recent knife wound to the gut during that time and only allowed himself to crumple after the worst was over.

Nerves of Steel / int_2d644371	comment	Tales Series: Tales of the Abyss has Jade Curtiss as the Stepford Smiler version of this. His ability to be unfazed by any situation is occasionally lampshaded by the younger characters as something that freaks them out. Tales of Vesperia's Yuri Lowell, as a partial Expy of the above Jade, is also similarly unfazed in the face of danger. It doesn't freak out his True Companions but they certainly think it's weird that facing death in the face only worries him somewhat. Subverted when it comes to Judith in regards to her saying she would cut her way out of a monster's stomach to win a fight. Yuri believes she could do that and finds her terrifying for that reason. Speaking of, Judith also fits this even more thanks to that. Tales of Xillia and its sequel has Jude Mathis. As a medical student (and an actual practising doctor in the sequel) it makes that he would be trained in that regard...but he just naturally seems able to keep his cool in the face of danger. Might have to do with being a Teen Genius as much as his personality. Milla Maxwell is much the same, though how much is her keeping her calm in the face of danger and her not valuing her life (in the first game) is up for debate. Her alternate version in the sequel subverts this trope, however. Tales of Berseria's Velvet Crowe didn't start as this, but after spending three years in a Hellhole Prison repeatedly killing all daemons dropped into her cell and surviving mainly off her desire for Revenge and her sheer hatred she holds for the Big Bad means she approaches dangerous situations more casually than normal people do.

The last mission starts with Trevor running into one of their previous victims on the street and is informed that the man's family has been living in the US for two hundred years. Trevor tries to play it off, but the argument escalates until Trevor is pointing a gun at the man's head. He doesn't flinch and tells Trevor that if he wants to make things right, he'll take care of the men he had been working with. He continues on by saying he won't pay Trevor a single penny for doing so. Trevor, easily the most psychotic and violent GTA protagonist, can do nothing more but honor his demands.

He totally faked it so Sasuke would kill him. And then after being freed from Kabuto's control when he's resurrected, he helps Killer Bee and Naruto fight the resurrected Nagato and calmly figures out how to beat Nagato's then-unbeaten gravity attack. He then, still calm, announces he's going to go defeat the resurrection technique itself.

She survives ten months stranded on an asteroid caring for injured and unconscious crewmates with her sanity intact, and reacts to whatever danger occurs by identifying the quickest engineering solution and then doing it, no hesitation. Even the time crystal, which left Pike and Burnham gasping in horror at the Bad Future visions, doesn't faze her — she just locks everyone else out of the room, blinks hard, and keeps working until she's done.

Nerves of Steel / int_35e05f2a	comment	RWBY: Although visibly nervous during his first Grimm fights and recklessly losing his temper against Cinder in Volume 5, Jaune grows beyond his inexperience and trauma to become a steady, fearless fighter. When his group enters Salem's lair to rescue Oscar, Ren notices Jaune is completely fearless. Later, he keeps his team on mission while Ruby's team fights Cinder. When he joins the battle, it's after Ruby, Blake and Yang have seemingly died; he remains calm against Cinder, and after he's forced to Mercy Kill Penny and has watched Weiss apparently die, he still holds it together and encourages Winter to escape to safety instead of recklessly charging Cinder like he once did. Word of God states that Jaune has grown into the hero who is capable of making the tough decisions that even the other heroes cannot make, which is why he can Mercy Kill a friend for the greater good. In Volume 4, the crew of the ship Blake is travelling on has never seen such a huge Grimm in all their time on the sea. The captain's response is to immediately take charge, rally the crew into performing their jobs, issuing commands to both his crew and Huntsmen, when he realizes he has a couple on board. He can keep track of his ship, weapons, the coastline, two Huntsmen and the Grimm to coordinate everything and destroy the Grimm with a killing blow. Not once does he lose his cool, or stop thinking and strategising. Introduced after a train crash in Volume 6, Maria simply exits the carriage with a chirpy "That sure was a close one, eh?" while everyone is picking themselves up. When the group is forced to bunk down on an estate filled with dead bodies, she's the only one not freaked out and starts looking for books to read; it enables her to identify exactly what threat they're all facing and identify and activate the solution when everyone else is giving up. It's not just a sign that she's an ancient, highly experienced Huntress, it's part of her personality that she comes alive when faced with danger, rather than being disturbed or fearful like others. Whitley doesn't have any combat prowess or experience, but when pushed into a corner he shows a surprising degree of resourcefulness in the face of danger and never loses his cool. When Ruby's team is facing a collective Heroic BSoD over the invasion of Atlas, it's Whitley who starts strategising practical solutions, from calling Klein to doctor Nora's injuries to planning the evacuation of Mantle's citzens. During the Hound's attack on the manor in Volume 8, he never forgets to send out the drones to rescue Mantle before escaping; he tries slamming a door into its face even while fleeing; while everyone is shocked by the reveal of the Hound's true nature, he observes it moving into position to be crushed by a giant suit of armour, so encourages Willow to help him drop it, saving Ruby, Blake and Weiss in the process.

Likely justified since he wears a power ring that allows him to accelerate his thoughts and control his body's normally-involuntary functions like heart rate and sweating. It also helps that Guy Gardner specifically trains him to handle stressful combat situations like continual bombardment.

Nerves of Steel / int_3d22c68b	comment	Mobile Suit Gundam ZZ: Haman Karn is famous for her iron composure, not even blinking when facing meters-long blades punching right at her face (because she knows that Judau would never kill an unarmed opponent). She loses her cool precisely once, after she shoots Judau's sister, and Judau responds with a gigantic phantom of pure psychic rage, causing her to break and run away as fast as she can. Mineva Lao Zabi, having been raised in part by Haman, inherits some of that iron spine. In Mobile Suit Gundam Unicorn, she doesn't even flinch when she's taken hostage with a gun put to her head, instead telling her captors that they have zero understanding of who they're dealing with if they honestly think threatening her life will stop their attackers. Leina Ashta, Judau's sister, shows the results of her social Training from Hell under Glemmy Toto when she manages to give a "The Reason You Suck" Speech to the Federation's leaders, telling them to shut up and sit down while suffering from a gunshot wound to the stomach. Bright Noa's family, in general, are also shown to keep their cool to an incredible extent. Whether it's Mirai keeping calm even while threatened at gunpoint in Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam or her and her daughter talking about Char's plans despite an explosion going off close to their car in Mobile Suit Gundam: Char's Counterattack.

Nerves of Steel / int_41b0198a	comment	The Dresden Files: Harry Dresden is normally exhausted, bleeding, in spiritual if not physical agony, angry, terrified and running out of magic with the fate of the world on his shoulders — none of which ever stops him from thinking and finding the answers he needs. The short story "Aftermath", from his friend Murphy's point of view, shows that in the moments where his narration reveals that he's most afraid, he transforms from a gawky nerd into a human avatar of power, command, and defiance, so fearsome that she's afraid of him even though she trusts him with her life. Dresden notes this about the mercenary Kincaid and (accurately) calls out that Kincaid is not purely human as a result. During pitched battles with supernatural enemies, Kincaid remains perfectly calm and doesn't miss a single shot, something beyond the capabilities of regular human. Arthur Langtry is mostly portrayed as an Obstructive Bureaucrat who has it out for Harry personally, with his accomplishments as leader of Magical Society mostly offscreen. In Turn Coat, when The Mole unleashes a deadly monster in a White Council gathering, he wards it back, formulates a battle plan, and telepathically coordinates all 200 wizards present with 3D visual aids, all within three seconds.

Played for Drama in many ways as the incident with Julia left Spike feeling like he was dead already and life was just a waking dream, thus explaining why heâ€™s so fearless in the face of death. However this does get effectively subverted in Session 20# â€œPierrot Le Fouâ€� where the titular Nightmare Fuel antagonist manages to do unthinkable and actually put the fear of god into Spike and make him run for his life â€” something no other antagonist is able to achieve in the series.

He can think his way through anything, even in combat, as long as it isn't something that looks more complicated than it is, in which case he can starts overthinking. The young version of the head of the family, Khun Edahn, looks to have been similar, as do Princess Khun Maschenny Jahad and Khun Kiseia. Khun Ran is kind of like this, but his cool thinking is usually limited to thinking up clever tactics, since "not fighting" never seems to occur to him as an option.

Carrot Ironfoundersson doesnâ€™t seem to comprehend his own mortality as he causally threatens dragons, walks in between armies of trolls and dwarves and isnâ€™t even concerned when heâ€™s surrounded by wolves.

Vimes himself while not as completely without fear as Carrot, can still be remarkably calm about a whole werewolf pack hunting him, meeting Death, getting countless attempts on his life, coming to face to face with various deranged psychotics. Itâ€™s suggested multiple times that Vimes fears the actions of others far less than what heâ€™s capable of himself when unchecked. In Unseen Academicals, Glenda develops these after she gets out of the crab bucket. Angry mobs? Furies? Vampires? The Patrician of Ankh-Morpork? She faced down all of them.

Nerves of Steel / int_50b9a0e2	comment	At least a couple of characters in The Phantom of the Opera show this. Most prominently is The Persian who despite knowing first hand how utterly dangerous Erik is, willingly sneaks around the Phantomâ€™s abode and does his best to prevent Erikâ€™s evil machinations. Christine while she certainly has moments of being afraid is still able to look Erik in his Nightmare Face and brave enough to repeatedly protect Raoul from him (itâ€™s summarised that Raoulâ€™s presence may make her braver, including not being afraid of the dark while with him). A minor character La Sorelli deserves serious credit, despite being considered a Brainless Beauty, she bravely ventures outside her dressing room armed with a knife upon hearing eerie footsteps that terrify the other younger ballerinas.

Nerves of Steel / int_55c5a085	comment	Mazinger Z: The Professor Gennosuke Yumi. Eighteen-meters-tall killer robots are advancing towards his Institute? Mount Fuji is about of erupting and burying them under burning lava? Squads of armed soldiers are besieging them under the threat of set off an earthquake under their feet if they do not surrender? A spy is aiming one gun towards him? He has been captured and is being used like a hostage? It happens all the time! Basically, Yumi is a scientist, hence he refuses to panic and instead of it he uses his analytical mind to study the trouble and find a solution quickly. He is so good keeping his cool he can come across like cold and aloof sometimes. Usually, he only expresses emotion when one of the kids — Kouji, his daughter Sayaka or their friends — are in serious and immediate danger. Usually you would not associate Kouji Kabuto with this trope since he is a Hot-Blooded character, but he is surprisingly good keeping his coolness when he needs thinking quick to save himself or someone else.

Nerves of Steel / int_57ad0c07	comment	Resident Evil: Helena of Resident Evil 6. Notably, she's just as calm as Leon is, even though she's never faced zombies before. During the battle with Simmons, he flings a very large chunk of debris right at her head, and it misses by inches. She doesn't even flinch, and promptly returns the favour. One of Ada's most inspiring traits is her strength of will; Ada is not a woman easily shaken. Itâ€™s most noticeable in Resident Evil 2 (Remake) when, compared to Leon and Claire, not once does she ever show external fear of the zombies lunging at her or Mr. X chasing her down the hallway, even as a new spy, only exasperatedly replying how much of a persistent bastard he is. It's only ever really subverted in her ending in 6 when she emotionally breaks down while destroying Carla's laboratory. Jill has a noticeably more muted approach to tense situations after the Raccoon City incident compared to other survivors, maintaining a calm, stoic attitude. Even when she's more hotheaded and traumatized during the Raccoon City incident, particularly Resident Evil 3 (Remake), she rarely shows any external signs of fear, with the only noticeable occurrence being when she feebly crawls away from Nemesis after he tanked a car she totaled into him.

Nerves of Steel / int_5921531b	comment	Yu from Persona 4 has them, even more so should you pick the right dialogue choices. Not to say he doesn't show emotions like confusion or panic, it's just that he manages to stay calm and collected regardless. When emotions run high, he often gets the option to tell others to calm down. In fact, late in the game, telling the others this is crucial should you want to avoid the first Bad Ending. Golden has a scene that exemplifies this: On the route to the true ending, if the Jester Link has been ranked up to 6 before the Disc-One Final Dungeon, it will auto-advance at certain points past it. After Rank 9, Yu has a choice to confront Tohru Adachi, the character in question... who then pulls a gun on him. One of his responses to this is "You won't shoot me.", and in response Adachi does! Said bullet whizzes dangerously close to Yu's head... and he doesn't even flinch from it.

Only one other Avenger may give Steve a run for his money when it comes to bravery, that being a certain Anthony Edward Stark, the man who personally flew a nuke that was going to destroy New York through a portal, fully knowing it was one-way trip but managed to save the day and gained Steve's respect in the process. Avengers: Infinity War takes this even further as Tony having had Thanos throw a moon at him and seen him defeat all his teammates including Doctor Strange, still stands up to Thanos and fights him till his armor breaks and he gets impaled. Even the Mad Titan himself states Tony has won his respect for sheer bravery. Thor: Ragnarok: Hela, who used to be Odin's Executioner, fights the entire army of Asgard without showing any sign of fear and wins, though it turns out that she had little reason to be afraid of them, despite how formidable they were shown to be in the past. However, later, when confronted with both Surtur and the prophesized destruction of Asgard, she only pauses for a moment before determinately raising her sword to attack him, even though it was an unwinnable fight. Special mention to Nebula, as she's the only hero who doesn't despair after half the universe is turned to dust and still remains stoic in the face of dying stranded in space at the start of Avengers: Endgame. Doctor Strange (2016): The good doctor himself can give both Tony and Steve a run for their money. Faced with an Eldritch Abomination neither he nor anyone in his team can hope to defeat, and the imminent transformation of Earth and the entire universe into a hellscape, he proceeds to fly right up to the Eldritch Abomination in question and sets a time loop that locks him and it in an eternal duel. Yes, the being will - and quite brutally - kill him effortlessly, but he will keep coming back, trapping it with him. Effectively, he dies hundreds if not thousands of times in increasingly brutal manners and refuses to break till Dormammu yields and leaves earth A dialogue in a later movie proves he was this way even before he got his powers - as a regular doctor, he was performing surgery in a hospital in the midst of the Chitauri invasion. Black Panther (2018): Nakia is horrified to see Killmonger apparently kill T'Challa in ritual combat, but she immediately pulls it together and hustles T'Challa's (understandably) distraught mom and sister into hiding, because she understands that it's not safe to be related to the old king after a new king usurps the throne.

Identified as one of the strongest heroes in the world, he never publicly shows anything but a neutral, stoic expression even when in a dangerous situation, nor does he rush into fights.note Note that this is unlike the expressionless Saitama in that Saitama can lose his cool at more mundane threats, and get excited in a fight if it's challenging, it's just that he no longer finds any fights that would be any danger or challenge to him. His heart starts audibly beating like an engine when battle approaches, though, and it's claimed no monster has heard that sound and lived. What's actually going on is that King is hiding his terror in the knowledge that he's actually got no powers or fighting ability at all (his "victories" were actually Saitama's before he registered with the Hero Association), so he'd be in huge trouble if he actually had to fight. Good thing for him he's The Dreaded for monsters and bad guys, so usually they don't dare to fight him.

Griffith is manipulative, putting on a calm and friendly facade while he does whatever it takes to accrue more power for himself, culminating in him sacrificing his friends to the Apostles. Another example would be Pippin who was the only besides Guts who was not immediately overcome with terror during the Eclipse. Casca has her moments as well like when Wyald half-dead shows up again after Guts beats him and has a Evil Laugh while holding up Griffith, Casca (despite her nearly getting raped by this monster a few chapters ago) pointing her sword just yells â€œWhatâ€™s so funny freak?â€� to his face.

He just about invariably keeps cool and adjusts to new situations. Certainly, Wedge feels emotions, some strongly, but he's well able to analyze and understand them. He's only shown losing control once — when someone uses Fantastic Racism to diss one of his nonhuman pilots, who just died to save the man, he pulls a Neck Lift and never mind that the other man is taller. Admiral Teren Rogriss, an Imperial fleet commander who ends up briefly working with the Republic Solo Command, is noted to have these by his enemies. He amply demonstrates by playing chicken with kilometer-long capital ships. His Interdictor-class cruiser isn't much in a fight but can prevent a Hyperspeed Escape by Warlord Zsinj's flagship — as long as it remains in range. Zsinj sends several vessels against him but can't beat the Imperial-class Star Destroyers backing up Rogriss's ship, so he decides to set one of his cruisers on a collision course to force the (smaller and lighter) Interdictor to turn aside. Zsinj starts worrying the second he identifies the officer in charge since he knows his own captain will flinch first. In the end, that captain is killed and the burning hulk of his ship is locked into its course. Rogriss stays past the last second, maneuvering out of the collision using a canny modification of his ship's systems, but also willing to take the risk that it wouldn't work to allow his allies time to keep fighting Zsinj.

Even Five Nights at Freddy's, which is memetic for scaring people, not only fails to scare him but bores him to the point he starts telling a story about his teen years to pass the time.

Keeping his/her cool while the rest of his/her unit panicked under attack from nightmarish Thresher Maws was what got him/her noticed enough to be considered for the Spectres. Ditto his/her feat in the War Hero origin, where Shepard effectively stared down an entire invading army until reinforcements arrived. This isn't even getting into what happens in the story proper. While s/he does slowly get ground down by The Chains of Commanding and all the death s/he sees, this doesn't stop him/her from, at one point, effectively facing down a 160m tall Reaper, on foot, while it's firing at him/her with barely any hint of fear. Joker's performance in general, and at the end of the first game in particular; he isn't even nervous trying to land the Mako APC in a fifth of the normal minimum landing zone, just intent. It's a stark contrast to his attitude outside of the pilot's seat, though.

It's illustrated early in the film when he spends most of the drop down to the colony asleep, in contrast to Gorman's nervousness and the boisterous behavior of his fellow Marines. After his unit gets largely wiped out, unlike Gorman (who freezes up under pressure and then gets knocked out), Hudson (who becomes a nervous wreck), and Vasquez (who enters a murderous rage), Hicks never once loses his cool. When they know through the trackers that the xenomorphs are just metres away, Hicks instinctively as the military leader volunteers to put his head through an overhead vent with a torch knowing it could mean his instant death: "Gimme the light." Yep, Hicks is the real deal.

She survives ten months stranded on an asteroid caring for injured and unconscious crewmates with her sanity intact, and reacts to whatever danger occurs by identifying the quickest engineering solution and then doing it, no hesitation. Even the time crystal, which left Pike and Burnham gasping in horror at the Bad Future visions, doesn't faze her — she just locks everyone else out of the room, blinks hard, and keeps working until she's done.

Nerves of Steel / int_9d47a2a2	comment	A Song of Ice and Fire: The prologue-only Waymar Royce from Book 1: A Game of Thrones, in spite of being something of an Upper-Class Twit, did not panic upon coming face to face with one of the Others. He calmly drew his sword and dueled the icy fiend, actually holding his own. He lost and wound up a wight, but still. Stannis Baratheon is somewhat infamous for being dogmatically stubborn and cool under pressure. The fact that he doesn't seem to emote or react like most people do not help his already terrible PR. Oberyn Martell shows absolutely no fear going up against Gregor Clegane, a.k.a. The Mountain That Rides. While he does back up this fearlessness by knocking Gregor to the ground, he wasn't quite as good as he thought he was and is killed while attempting to deliver the finishing blow.

Nerves of Steel / int_9e2f90f4	comment	One Piece: Nico Robin should qualify. She's the one on the upper right of a previous page image not losing her cool. It feels like Luffy may have been born without the capacity for fear at times e.g when he has The Government flag burned and Spandam points out he just declared war on the highest authority in the world and Luffyâ€™s response is just: â€œBRING IT ONâ€�. Luffy also didnâ€™t hesitate to attack Kaido the World's Strongest Man an action so ballsy (and stupid) the people of Wano were stunned. Zoro and Sanji both probably count as well. Sanji's been shown to be very efficient at dealing with a rapidly crumbling situation and saving his fellow Straw Hats, Sanji has also frequently stood up to god-like foes (e.g Enel) and heartily mocked them after taking their powerful attacks head on. Zoro never loses his cool (except at the other Straw Hats), but he's a little too happy to pick a fight with other swordsmen, and tends to consider options that are too extreme to be plausible, to qualify fully for this. No matter how dire the situation, Law almost always has a smug demeanor and has no reservations about Flipping the Bird to anyone, even if he's on the receiving end of a beating from them. Even when he's on the verge of being murdered, he (almost) goes out laughing and flipping his killer off. Then again, that D. in his real name probably gives that away; people with the D. tend to do that). Jimbei was not only completely unafraid of Big Mom (which saved him from her Touch of Death powers) but he even takes a moment to lay down a cup of sake and formally leave her crew with a sincere thank you, the first person to ever do so without dying. Big Mom was so dumbfounded that it actually takes her a brief moment before she tries to kill him again.

Dr. Venture, the man he's assigned to bodyguard, is also an example. A very, very weird subverted or zigzagged example where his lack of reaction comes not from bravery, but simply from being a Seen It All character in a Fantasy Kitchen Sink World Gone Mad. He's not fearless or anything, he's just been so desensitized to violence and bizarre things that he's stopped caring.

Nerves of Steel / int_b30ae4db	comment	Game of Thrones: Ned Stark seems awfully calm when surrounded by Lannister soldiers, with Jaime Lannister in front of him. Arya Stark is developing these as she goes from horrifying experience to horrifying experience. She is absolutely unafraid of characters such as Tywin, Melisandre and the Hound who terrify everyone else in the series. Granted, he knows his sister is close by and has his back, but Jojen never loses his affable tone even when Osha has a spear to his neck â€” and a full-grown direwolf is baring its teeth at the same time. Tywin is very nonchalant of Tyrion threatening to kill him, even after finally being shot down with a crossbow. When Bronn is challenged by Sandor Clegane, he is less "Oh, Crap!" and more "oh well". It is very rare to see Bronn in distress. This is usually because he's so badass that things rarely turn against him to begin with, but even when they do he takes it in stride. The exceptions are in Season 5 when his engagement is annulled, costing him his imminent Lordship, and later on when Tyene has him poisoned and on the brink of death. Even in the latter scenario, he's rotting in a dungeon with a slim chance of getting out soon and is perfectly content to stay there singing to himself for as long as he has to. Season 7 also brings an exception with the Battle of the Blackwater Rush, which has him quite distressed at fighting a battle against the Dothraki khalasars and a damn dragon, and even then he holds it together long enough to kill said Dothraki chasing him, deal a crossbow bolt to Drogon and then save Jaime's ass by tackling him out of the way of Drogon's fire. Daenerys is the blood of the dragon and a dragon is not afraid. Right from episode one, she's been showing the kind of reserve and spine a ruler of realms should have. She's been insulted, intimidated and threatened in various unpleasant ways by several powerful people. None of them managed to so much as affect her expression, much less her resolve. Reaches a CMOA when she refuses to back down against Drogon's black rage in Daznak's Pit. If she had; he probably would have devoured her. Stannis, as is his book counterpart, as his reaction to half his fleet being decimated by Wildfire is pretty much to grit his teeth and go charging at the King's Landing anyway.

The crowing example is during the Godzilla-Marvel crossover where Jonah actually sticks his head out the window and mouths off right into the King of all Monstersâ€™ face, proving for whatever his faults Jonah still has balls of Adamantium at his best.

Nerves of Steel / int_b9b796cf	comment	In Fate/stay night, Servant Archer is singled out as having these more than any other Servant due to cultivating battle experience as a way to make up for the fact that he had very few natural gifts. It's actually an ability of his called Eye of the Mind which is basically keeping a calm, calculating head while in combat. Servant Assassin also has shades of this, its an ability called Vitrification, which means the guy can keep a calm mind at all times. Possibly it's due to his Extreme Doormat nature, but things like having his lungs detonated from the inside, being minutes away from death due to Mana deprivation, or being eaten alive don't seem to affect his mind much. Kuzuki Souchirou. He's more of an Extreme Doormat than Assassin, sure, but it doesn't change the fact he's basically a Muggle who faces superpowered Servants without the slightest hint of fear or anxiety. Or any other emotion for that matter... In the prequel, Emiya Kiritsugu is also an excellent example, as a cool and collected individual who remains calm in dangerous situations and makes ruthless decisions without batting an eye.

Nerves of Steel / int_bcadd7cb	comment	Warhammer 40,000: Represented in different ways: Space Marines have the special rule "And They Shall Know No Fear", representing how their biological modifications and mental conditioning have left them without a real fear response. They can fall back if defeated in close combat or after suffering heavy casualties from enemy fire, but this is a Tactical Withdrawal rather than a rout, and the Space Marines automatically regroup after doing so. One of the signs of how far the Chaos Space Marines have fallen is that they do not have this rule. Their nerves are very much not steel, and they know fear. Cypher is unusual since he's a Chaos Space Marine who still has the "And They Shall Know No Fear" rule. Units with the Fearless take this one step further — they're sufficiently determined, zealous, bloodthirsty, or stupid that they automatically pass any Morale checks they would be called upon to take. This lets them sidestep Tank Shock attempts and return to their formation without losing cohesion, but this disregard for their own safety can see them take additional casualties when outnumbered in close combat. Nerves of Steel is a talent in Dark Heresy and Rogue Trader, which allows you to re-roll pinning tests. A better way or representing this trope would be taking the Fearless talent or the From Beyond trait, which make you completely immune to fear or pinning, or having an unhealthy amount of Insanity Points. Subverted with the World Eaters, the chosen Legion of War God Khorne, who are lobotomized so as to become completely fearless... but end up as screaming lunatics who live only to rush at the enemy and decapitate them with chainaxes.

Dredd is the oldest judge on the force, having been active for more than half a century, so really has Seen It All.

Nerves of Steel / int_c43df4d8	comment	Doctor Who: The Doctor's companions sometimes have this: In "The Face of Evil", Leela's "fight or flight" response doesn't have a "flight" setting. Romana II evidently picked them up quickly after jousting against the Daleks, considering how she stayed calm and scheming after witnessing a horrific murder of a scientist by Count Scarlioni to intimidate her. The Doctor himself can be described as having this, as he regularly risks his life and confronts danger with composure. In "The Satan Pit", he literally laughs in the face of the Devil, in "The Big Bang" he carries on without visible nerves after having seen his future self near death and in "Hell Bent" he literally stands in front of a firing squad without flinching. He is also unperturbed at gruesome sights, although sometimes saddened â€” in "Cold War" he quite clinically examines a dismembered corpse. Not to mention the fact that he can even carry on living and being cheerful after everything he's seen and lost. Being head of the UK branch of UNIT typically brings with it a total refusal to show more emotion than some blend of steely determination and deadpan indifference in the face of any kind of alien menace, especially when it's The Brigadier himself or his daughter, whether the Monster of the Week is armies of Cybermen, reality-bending terrors or demons from beyond the stars.

Nerves of Steel / int_c62995ba	comment	Child of the Storm has several examples: Most of the Avengers qualify, but Steve and Natasha are the stand-outs — Steve because he tends to internalise his freak-outs, when they happen, and Natasha because she's just that opaque (not only has she really Seen It All, she's not at all prone to dramatics). Bucky Barnes, both as the Winter Soldier and afterwards. Even his Not So Stoic moment as the Winter Soldier in chapter 60 of the first book is largely internal. In the sequel, he's almost exclusively calm and composed, with the one moment when he was genuinely agitated (when Harry looked like he was about to snap and go Dark Phoenix on Seamus Finnegan, who'd unwittingly pushed a Trauma Button) was noted by Cedric Diggory as being decidedly unusual. Dumbledore keeps his cool at all times, during battles, and even in the face of a half-mad Doctor Strange and the Phoenix herself. Twice, in the latter case. Doctor Strange, meanwhile, tends to be somewhat kooky and occasionally coldly terrifying, but as the time-travelling seer who makes the Endless themselves dance on his puppet strings, he is invariably unfazed by everything that crosses his path... until his Not So Stoic moment, which encompasses most of the Forever Red arc of the sequel. As a result, this leads to a Mass "Oh, Crap!" from everyone else.

As a medical student (and an actual practising doctor in the sequel) it makes that he would be trained in that regard...but he just naturally seems able to keep his cool in the face of danger. Might have to do with being a Teen Genius as much as his personality. Milla Maxwell is much the same, though how much is her keeping her calm in the face of danger and her not valuing her life (in the first game) is up for debate.

He shoots down Ashboos's horse with one arrow. The thoroughly rattled Ashkboos fires a barrage of arrows at Rostam who doesn't even move. Then Rostam shoots his only remaining arrow with dead accuracy. When Esfandiar arrives to arrest Rostam they shake hands and Esfandiar squeezes Rostam's hand so hard the veins under his nails pop and start to bleed. Not only does this not faze Rostam, but he also delivers some good-humored badass boasts and goes home to prepare for battle. When he sneaks into the Div-e Sepid's cave, he finds the demon sleeping. Instead of taking the opportunity to slay the monster in his sleep, he lets out a battle cry and fights him only when he's fully awake. Bahman fearing for his father Esfandiar's life in his battle against Rostam tries to assassinate him by hurling a boulder from a hill to crush Rostam. The hunting party accompanying Rostam drop what they're carrying and dive out of the way. Rostam simply kicks the rolling rock away from him!

Prosecutor Miles Edgeworth, is similarly known for his ability to keep his cool. In his case, it's because he has an unshakable commitment to the truth and simply will not let anyone get in the way or bully him off the path. He even has the nerve to say as much to a man holding him at gunpoint in his own office. Godot in Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney â€“ Trials and Tribulations. Thuggish Loan Shark in the courtroom with an intimidating roar and Brooklyn Rage got everyone else in the courtroom hiding under desks or behind walls? Godot simply boasts about being the one to bring in said thug. This becomes a plot point in the third case of Justice For All: Witness Acro is, well, an acrobat, and as such needs a set of these to be good at his job. In court, this makes him difficult to press, as he he keeps his cool no matter what. It's this calmness in the face of being potentially nailed for Russel's murder that makes Phoenix realize that he'd go for Refuge in Audacity when hiding the murder weapon (a large bust) on short notice (Franziska raided his room)- it's with him in court, hidden in his wheelchair. The third culprit in Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney, while more temperamental than the above example, is calm enough to not have any tells that Apollo can Perceive. Zig-zagged, as he finally breaks down when Apollo reveals his plan to get his accomplice to testify against him.

Including warning her when he's about to pass out. Simon is a classic Sugar-and-Ice Personality and is stoical a lot of the time. River had an even harder time in "Objects in Space". She had her amygdala torn out after all and thus is flooded with emotion. Wash is able to go from the funny sarcastic guy to completely calm and in control in mere moments as well, as best seen in the Pilot in where he shows us just WHY Malcolm and Zoe have such trust in him and provides us with one of the best Crowning Moments Of Awesome in the series by outmaneuvering the Reavers without losing that stoic calm. Also in the Movie, outmaneuvering the Reavers while flying directly into the thick of an Alliance armada. When Mal panics and tries to direct him, "No, no, no, no!" Wash simply matches his tone, "Yes, yes, yes, yes!" and keeps his bearing. Zoe walks into the room where her husband and her oldest friend and comrade are being tortured and cuts the villain off before he can even finish presenting his impossible dilemma, all without changing expression. When she gets given Wash and Mal's ear, she calmly accepts both, then returns to the ship and puts the ear on ice before heading back out for the rescue mission. Her response to Wash's death in Serenity is almost equally flat. She freaks out initially, but no more than a few seconds later, she is coolly walking off the ship, checking her weapons, and telling the others that "he's not coming."

Nerves of Steel / int_f39c217d	comment	Inaho Kaizuka of Aldnoah.Zero raises this to the level of a superpower. He's not just cool under pressure, he's ALWAYS completely calm and calculating, which is the main reason why he's able to repeatedly go up against Super Robots piloted by trained Knights, using an obsolete Real Robot and nothing more than basic schooling. While his opponents rave and rant, he's calmly assessing the situation and spotting the chinks in the enemy's armor. Interestingly, it's never explained why he is that way — his sister is mostly normal, and if anything a tad too perky for a trained soldier, so it's presumably not a genetic trait.

Nerves of Steel / int_f4e799ee	comment	Burn Notice: Michael Weston makes a comment about this in one episode. Stating how one can never tell if someone does have Nerves of Steel. Where a trained soldier could crack easily under pressure but a father whose son was kidnapped can have ice water in his veins.

Nerves of Steel / int_f5c28dbb	comment	Multiple characters in the 1632 series — notably among the uptimers Mike Stearns and Jeff Higgins. Taking examples from the first book alone: When Mike Stearns realizes that there are soldiers coming to attack the Abrabanel's carriage, he intentionally stands out in the open with a semiautomatic pistol to draw their fire away from the carriage — and doesn't stop firing even when one bullet rips through his sleeve. When Jeff Higgins is defending the students in the cafeteria from a charging band of (dismounted) Croat cavalrymen, he empties his shotgun, reloads, empties it again, and — not having time to reload a second time — butt-strokes another before finally being struck down by a saber-blow.

Nerves of Steel / int_f74b5f80	comment	Babylon 5: Mr. Morden. Gotta hand it to him; not even being arrested, threatened by most of the cast or coming face-to-face with Ambassador Kosh seems to unnerve him. The fact that two equally advanced aliens constantly watch over him may have something to do with that — when Londo kills/chases them off, he finally cracks. When Vir is faced with a giant monster (that he didn't know was a hologram) he just kept repeating that his boss wants an audience until the technomage responsible for the giant monster gave up on trying to scare him away.

Nerves of Steel / int_f8df4747	comment	The Transformers: More than Meets the Eye: It takes a lot to faze Ratchet. He's not incapable of showing fear or distress, but he's been held hostage and tortured by experts, so the small stuff doesn't really impact him until someone dies, and even then, while he's not happy, he's still clear-headed enough to convert the corpse into a weapon.

Nerves of Steel / int_fd0b756	comment	Bilbo Baggins from The Hobbit while not as much at first (he fainted upon learning he might die on his adventure) after Taking a Level in Badass he shows no fear taking on armies of giant spiders and most impressively pokes fun at the Smaug the massive and wicked dragon while talking to him, which considering how powerful dragons are in the greater context of Middle Earth (being made by God of Evil Morgoth) means Mister Baggins undeniably has a massive pair on him.
