Ubermensch killshooty protagonists with no meaningful flaws (their flaws are generally celebrated or actually a source of strength in the fiction) that win all the time and are kind of creeps, or worse. Clint Eastwood movies and Connery-era James Bond comes to mind. :grillman:
Gen-X had something like it when mid-life crises set in, which was "grizzled middle aged man must avenge his fridged wife and/or rescue/protect his dubiously sexualized daughter figure from them." :cringe:
