So you're two-thirds of the way through a book/movie/whatever, when suddenly, The Hero / The Leader / The Chosen One, etc. dies, is imprisoned, performs a Face–Heel Turn, or is otherwise unable to act as their important role. All seems lost, a Take Up My Sword hasn't been pulled! What is to be done? But wait! A Sidekick, the Love Interest, The Rival, a Mauve Shirt, or even a Friendly Enemy steps or is forced into this important role, and the work that you are reading focuses on them for the rest of the time it takes to finish the work. Essentially, it's when someone invokes Legacy Character. Take Up My Sword is different in that it implies that the original had time to say something along the lines of I'm Dying, Please Take My MacGuffin to his successor, whereas with Taking Up The Mantle, the character has to take the initiative or be shown that it's what they have to do, but ultimately, they have to make the decision themselves. In so far as it applies to sidekicks, it's a relative to You Are in Command Now, which applies to more rigid situations where the Big Hat Of Command lands on a person's head whether they want it to or not, based on their level in the hierarchy. May or may not be related to and/or overlap with Legacy Character, Passing the Torch, All Up to You, You Are in Command Now, Field Promotion, or It's the Journey That Counts. The Trope Namer comes from a line in The Bible where Elisha literally takes up the mantle of Elijah the prophet. Due to the nature of this trope, spoilers are bound to follow. |

Briefly attempted by Bane, of all people, when Batman disappears during Forever Evil (2013). Gotham is in chaos, with Arkham's inmates released, and Bane knows this is the perfect time to conquer the city. He runs into a bit of trouble with the Arkham crew though and realizes that to succeed he needs to become something that truly terrifies them- so he makes his own Bat-costume and declares himself the new Batman. Note that he has no real intention of being a hero or living up to Batman's ideals; he just needs the fear. Needless to say, his stint ends in the space of a couple pages once Forever Evil is resolved and the real Batman can return to Gotham. | |

Summer Knight introduces the concept of supernatural power and identity called a Mantle that takes the form of a package of power that can be passed from person to person, and that starts to shape the identity, will, and personality of the wielder. In the case of the Sidhe mantles there are at least eight, and take the forms of Mother, Queen, Lady, and Knight for the Summer and Winter courts each. The Mother, Queen, and Lady mantles are so powerful that they will overwrite the original person entirely given enough time. | |

Blue Beetle: The Blue Beetle mantle has passed twice. The original, Dan Garrett, was succeeded by his long-time friend Ted Kord, and who in turn was succeeded by Jaime Reyes. All three possessed the Scarab from which the heroic name was derived, but none of them used it in the same way and the only thing they had in common was the mantle of the Beetle and the desire to uphold its noble legacy. | |

The Night Unfurls: Kyril discusses this trope with the Doll, pondering on the decision to take up the mantle of First Hunter, once held by his mentor Gehrman, should the conflict in Eostia take a turn for the worst. Played Straight in the original version, where he accepts the mantle the moment he resolves to hunt down his enemies and save the people of Eostia from the Black Dogs. Taking a step forward, he starts training multiple apprentices at once instead of one at a time. | |

After The Death of Superman, four heroes appeared on the radar ready to take Superman's place; the Cyborg Superman, the Eradicator, and Superboy each had an equal stake in the name and his own motives to want to be the Man of Steel. The fourth, Steel, never claimed to be Superman but followed his example and tried to protect his legacy. | |

In Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker, Terry manages to do the one thing Bruce couldn't: force the Joker to lose his composure and get angry. How? By making fun of the Joker, something Bruce would never do. Of course, this isn't the original Joker, it's a copy created by the original Joker, who implanted a chip into Tim Drake's body before his death that made him look and sound like the Joker, with the chip overtaking Tim's personality. Terry manages to fry the chip, restoring Tim's appearance and personality. | |

The twist is that Bruce may be out of the field, being an old man with a cane and all, but he becomes Terry's Voice with an Internet Connection. In Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker, Terry manages to do the one thing Bruce couldn't: force the Joker to lose his composure and get angry. How?

In Mass Effect 2, Liara is trying to find the Shadow Broker, an information dealer who is possibly the most powerful individual in the entire galaxy, who hides on a ship drifting inside a storm on an uninhabitable planet and never shows his face to anyone and communicates with his top agents only through digital voice synthesizers. While trying to free Liara's assistant, who has been captured, the Shadow Broker and all his personal guards are killed in his office. After the fight, dozens of agents call in to inquire about the disrupted connection. In that moment, Liara realizes what could be lost if no reply is sent, and seizes the opportunity: And this is not the first time this has happened either, with the Shadow Broker Liara deposes being an alien of a largely unknown pre-spaceflight species that the previous Shadow Broker kept as a "pet" and underestimated until it was too late. |

Batman: After Batman's "death" during Final Crisis, Dick Grayson is forced to become Batman because Bruce Wayne never appointed a successor, and Gotham City was descending into chaos without Batman's presence to strike genuine terror into the hearts of criminals. Dick was reluctant to become Batman because Bruce left specific instructions not to don the cowl. But Bruce was a bit shortsighted on the matter, so Dick eventually wound up doing so anyway. Bruce was understanding when he inevitably got back. Battle For The Cowl was about several people trying to become the new Batman. Dick Grayson, Tim Drake,note who didn't want the cowl but Dick hadn't stepped up yet Jason Todd, Two-Face, and Michael Lane, the new Azrael, all heeded the call to become Gotham City's new Dark Knight. The first two issues of the mini-series mostly focused on Tim Drake, but the final issue mostly focused on Dick Grayson. In the first arc of Batman Inc, Jiro Osamu steps into the role of his deceased mentor Mr. Unknown to prove himself to Batman. He succeeds - and is appointed Batman of Japan. Tim Drake, when he was set to become Robin, actually had the nerve to don Jason Todd's Robin costume and to go out with Alfred to rescue Batman and Nightwing. And he managed to pull it off. Briefly attempted by Bane, of all people, when Batman disappears during Forever Evil (2013). Gotham is in chaos, with Arkham's inmates released, and Bane knows this is the perfect time to conquer the city. He runs into a bit of trouble with the Arkham crew though and realizes that to succeed he needs to become something that truly terrifies them- so he makes his own Bat-costume and declares himself the new Batman. Note that he has no real intention of being a hero or living up to Batman's ideals; he just needs the fear. Needless to say, his stint ends in the space of a couple pages once Forever Evil is resolved and the real Batman can return to Gotham. Averted in the pre-Crisis era. On Earth-Two, the Golden Age Batman is killed trying to stop a criminal with mysteriously obtained supernatural power. After the funeral, both Dick Grayson and Helena Wayne both agree that they can't be Batman and to keep going in their identities as Robin and Huntress. |

In the lore of The Elder Scrolls there is a theological concept where beings can "Mantle" the essence of or certain aspects of gods. In this world, due to the fact that the gods have a very real and physical impact on the world, it is rather more literal than in most cases. The most notable instances of this are when Tiber Septim, or Talos, took up the Mantle of the dead god Lorkhan, specifically his aspect as the god of man. The other case, arguably, is when his descendent merged with Akatosh to defeat an invasion by Mehrunes Dagon. | |

In the Darkwing Duck comic series, one storyline features many Darkwings from alternate universes. One of them had taken up Gosalyn's Quiverwing Quack superhero identity after she was killed performing a Heroic Sacrifice in his universe, and there was nothing he could do to save her. Interestingly, the comic has him fight Darkwarrior Duck, the Bad Future version of Darkwing from an episode of the TV show, who thought that his Gosalyn had run away from home, and had a very different reaction to losing her. Quiverwing completely wrecks his ass. | |

Starman is a multi-generational example. Starting with Ted Knight, the titular mantle falls to his eldest son David, then to his younger son Jack. After Jack's retirement, both the legacy and the Cosmic Staff (which gave the Starmen their powers) passed to the Star-Spangled Kid - aka Courtney Whitmore - who adopted the name Stargirl out of respect for her predecessors.note Courtney had already taken the mantle of the original golden age Star-Spangled Kid, Sylvester Pemberton. | |
