This trope describes a moment in a series, usually involving superheroes, in which the general public, either at the request of the heroes themselves, or of their own volition, directly come to their aid and fight alongside them. The series generally has established by now that this would normally never happen, because ordinary people are the ones that often need to be saved. However, in this case, the public may have decided it was time to pay the heroes back for all they've done. Needless to say, if the citizens do this on their own, it can be considered a massive sign of admiration and respect for the hero they are willing to protect. Alternatively, if done on the part of the heroes, it can mean that they consider the citizens to be their allies. Contrast with Apathetic Citizens and Bystander Syndrome. See also Muggle Best Friend, Badass Bystander, Wounded Hero, Weaker Helper, and Now, Let Me Carry You. Examples |

Harry Potter: While the trope-naming muggles never get involved in the final battle against Voldemort, the staff and many of the older Hogwarts students are rallied to help fight Voldemort even though many of them were previously uninvolved in the war. Later, the local shopkeepers and families of the students also show up to help. | |

Ready Player One (2018): Nearly every gamer in the virtual world heads out to help fight with their avatar in the final battle and help the heroes save the Oasis from being take over by unworthy forces. In the real world, when Sorrento chases Wade into Wade’s neighborhood, quite a few human residents gather together and briefly try to pull an angry Go Through Me move before Sorrento pulls out a gun. |

The ultimate fear of the great guilds in The Pillars of Reality is the Commons learning their secrets, and they make a lot of enemies by treating the Commons badly. This makes recruiting the Commons (who aren't suppose to be able to use either mage or mechanic arts) a pretty effective technique for the heroes. | |

Defied in The Dresden Files. Recruiting the muggles, at least in a mass scale, is considered the nuclear option for the supernatural world. Not in the least because they now have nukes. There are subtle cases, though, whether it's the White Council releasing books to siphon off power of a dangerous entity by having too many people drawing on it at once, or the White Court releasing a how-to book on killing Black Court Vampires in the form of Bram Stoker. When the Fomor invade Chicago during Battle Ground, Harry and Baron Marcone both recruit small armies of Chicagoans to defend the city. Naturally, Mab had planned for this and stockpiled weapons and ammunition for them inside the Cloud Gate, a.k.a. "The Bean". |

During the finale of Power Rangers in Space, Angel Grove is invaded, and the villain demands that the Power Rangers show themselves, or else they will start killing civilians. Bulk and Skull, the oblivious comic relief of the series, step up and falsely claim to be Power Rangers. Soon, other citizens start joining in with them, and when the real rangers do appear, they publicly announce their secret identities and morph in full view of the city before leading them into combat. In the finale of Power Rangers Mystic Force the Rangers and allies have used up all their magic and are still facing off against the villain. Toby and Phineas lead the townspeople and forest folk, respectively, to give all their latent power to the Rangers to let them defeat the villain. |

Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers: When several trucks full of bar patrons drive up to the police station to investigate the blackout (caused by Michael's spree-killing rampage), Big Good Dr. Loomis tells them what is happening and encourages them to try to find and kill Michael before he can hurt anyone else. They are useful during a couple of moments but some of them kill an innocent local during a moment of panic. | |

Superman: The Animated Series: In many episodes Detective Turpin and his SCU troopers are just a source of Exposition and a g-rated Red Shirt Army who get battered around by the villains, respectively, and are rarely included in anything big by Superman. In "Apokolips Now Part 2", the situation is desperate enough for a Superman to need them (and later on a large crowd of civilians) to help fight Darkseid's Mooks, and they handle the job admirably. | |

Ned, on the other hand, is just a petty thief and con man caught up in something way bigger than himself. Invoked more directly when fighting the Water; the Pine Guard recruits the help of city worker Pigeon in order to allow them to divert water away from H2Whoa: That Was Fun! while they fight the abomination. |

The Adventure Zone: Balance: Lucretia recruits Angus McDonald, Boy Detective, to work for the Bureau due to his help in solving the Murder on the Rockport Limited. He essentially becomes a Voice with an Internet Connection for the Tres Horny Boys, although Taako later begins teaching him some magic. Deliberately invoked by Griffin in Story and Song: after the two Voidfish broadcast Johann's song, every single person in the planar system (including nearly every single named character in the podcast) suddenly gains Bardic Inspiration to fight against the Hunger. Notably, as the narrator points out, this includes the listener as well, as the planar system includes our own. In the same episode, Taako recruits a modern, Earthly boy working in his family's taco truck named Joaquin to help him learn how to make tacos. Both of their food trucks explode, and they each gain more powerful magic powers than before. |

Tremors: In "Shriek and Destroy", the townspeople spend most of the episode as potential monster victims Burt and Tyler have to protect. However, once they need more people to fire single shot rifles at the approaching monsters, they are happy to accept the help of the local baseball team, who proceed to make the heroes glad they sought that help. In "Blast from the Past", the students at the survival course Burt is teaching mostly stay out of things throughout the conflict but ultimately help capture the Monster of the Week with their homemade nets. |

Used in Negima! Magister Negi Magi during the Mahora Festival. The mages were outnumbered by an army of demon-powered robots and mechas, so they decided to recruit several thousand muggles and arm them with magical weapons. (Fortunately, both sides were using non-lethal weapons.) Of course, since the muggles must not know anything about magic, the mages told them that it was a giant role-playing game. | |

In Ciaphas Cain: the Traitor's Hand, a Chaos battleship is destroyed when it tries to massacre a giant swarm of merchantships. The Imperial cruiser present managed to wreck the battleship's main weapons when it was already committed to its course, and then the merchantships swarmed it and nibbled it to death with their little defensive guns. | |

The Saga of Darren Shan: At one point in the conflict between the vampires and the vampanese (a fundamentalist offshoot clan), the vampanese begin recruiting human mercenaries they call "vampets". Vampires react to this as a war crime, as the vampets are not bound by traditional honour codes which forbid the use of guns, allowing them to mow down hordes of vampires with ease (previously vampires limited themselves to crossbows, while vampanese refused to use any form of ranged weapon at all). Eventually the vampires retaliate by establishing their own human corps called "vampirites". | |
