Normally, getting hurt isn't a very glorious thing. After all, if you were really that tough nothing could touch you, right? Well, sometimes getting hurt is cool, and serves to prove just how badass a character really is. How someone deals with injury can give insight into the character, and show that their awesomeness incarnate is not just a facade. Executed well, this can also provide a dose of vulnerability into an otherwise unbelievable character. Or, it can simply exist to show just how much punishment the character can take or is willing to take. May come paired with Major Injury Underreaction, but just as often the character is in quite apparent pain. Sometimes they try to brush it off, other times they're actually incapacitated, or may even die, but in every case, they look awesome for it. This is probably the reason for Macho Masochism. May result in Good Scars, Evil Scars or a Rugged Scar, which, in turn, may hint back at this trope. To qualify for this trope a character must actually be injured. Shrugging off damage physically may be Made of Iron or Nigh-Invulnerability. Despite the name, this trope is not limited to males or bullet wounds. Compare: I Can Still Fight! |

A gender-inverted example in the Arrow episode "Time of Death". Oliver Queen, John Diggle, and Sara Lance are all sparring and end up sharing the origins of their various scars (IED, grenade, knives, bullets, etc.) Their IT specialist Felicity Smoak feels somewhat left out as the only scar she can boast of is from getting her wisdom teeth removed (three stitches!). She's quite happy when she later takes a bullet for Sara, giving her a genuine badass scar. | |

Whenever Spike gets shot or falls from a great height in Cowboy Bebop, which is a lot, he usually shrugs it off. Although on a few occasions he is wrapped in so many bandages afterwards that he looks like a mummy. | |

Our Flag Means Death: While the show itself doesn't condone this sort of toxic masculinity, in-universe, kindly aristocrat Stede Bonnet's ability to take a sword to the gut (twice!) is proof to his crew that maybe the "Gentleman Pirate" isn't as soft as he seems. | |

Star Trek: Star Trek: The Next Generation: Shortly after graduating from Starfleet Academy one Jean-Luc Picard gets in a fight with a group of Nausicans, which ends with one of the Nausicans stabbing him in the heart. Picard later tells Wesley Crusher than he didn't feel a lot of pain and actually remember laughing at the site of the blade sticking out of his chest. This turns out to be a major turning point in Picard's life and turns him into the man who would go on to command the Federation flagship. Star Trek: Voyager: Gender-Inverted Trope with Captain Janeway in "Year of Hell"; she tells the Doctor, "I'll be coming back with severe burns." Star Trek: Picard: Cristóbal Rios shrugs off what should be agonizing pain from a chunk of tritanium shrapnel lodged in his shoulder like it's an annoying mosquito bite.

Better Bones AU: Scars and injuries are looked upon favorably in the Clans due to their battle-centric culture, as a sign the cat is tough enough to survive. For example, Brightheart, who has half of her face heavily scarred is seen as the ideal, beautiful cat. | |

In Red vs. Blue, episode 4 of season 9, North was riddled with bullets but is still able to climb out of a Pelican in flight and activate his dome shield to save the ship. Without an AI. Which is later revealed to have stood a good chance of killing him on its own. |

Deconstructed by Wocky Kitaki in Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney. He thinks of himself as a true gangster in his family's organized crime syndicate and considers the bullet he took during a previous altercation to be a mark of pride. In truth, the bullet was lodged in his chest near his heart, and every medical worker who examines him reaches the conclusion that he is going to die from his injury soon. In fact, his parents intend to leave the criminal underworld specifically to find a way to save his life. | |

One Piece: The mark of a big badass in the verse is how much damage they could take and still be able to move on; Luffy and Zoro are known best for this.

In The Raid: Redemption, after killing the last of the Machete Gang, Rama collapses in a badly-bruised heap, and only by thinking of his pregnant wife can he find the will to get back up. Which he does, and then he kills more bad guys. The final fight between him, Mad Dog, and Andi is basically a grueling test of endurance. | |

Jim Brass in CSI. He gets the date of his line of duty injuries tattooed next to them. He got one onscreen in the 7th season opener after getting shot in "Bang Bang" the previous season, and had another already present, possibly an old war wound or an earlier offscreen police injury. It probably would lead to talking about it if they ever gave him a girlfriend. | |

In Red Dead Redemption II, during Chapter 3, Arthur Morgan gets knocked out and captured by the O'Driscolls. He tries to escape, but gets shot in the left shoulder and captured again. After being tied up and tortured and denied food, he escapes again and deals with the (now hours old) gunshot wound by cauterizing it with black powder. After recuperating for several weeks at camp, he's back in action good-as-new. | |

Firefly. Captain Malcolm Reynolds, who is unquestionably a badass, tends to power through pain to get a job done. However, after being rather viciously stabbed during a "Duel of Honour", he simply will not shut up about how he got cut, and how much it hurts. Jokingly though. He's just trying to milk it for all the sympathy it's worth. Discussed in "Objects in Space". Jubal Early remarks to ship's doctor Simon Tam, unprompted, that you ought to have to get shot—or stabbed, or lose a limb—before you can become an M.D., so that you "know the kind of pain you're dealing with." |
