Fun fact - Falcon Punch is the first winner in Season 2 to win two tropes.

Today's trope is Badass Santa. Here is the link: https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/BadAssSanta

If you stop and think about it, Santa Claus isn't that much different from Superman. Both have amazing powers that defy the laws of physics as we humans know them. Both can fly around the world with no problem. They both like the color red, they both have their headquarters hidden in the Arctic Circle, and they both starred in movies that involved producer Ilya Salkind. The two characters even met once!

So it is not surprising, really, that there are so many instances in fiction where Santa is a Big Damn Hero, defending the Spirit of Christmas from Humbugs. This kind of Santa Claus doesn't really need help Saving Christmas, though there may be trouble if an Evil Twin Bad Santa shows up.


TL,DR: Santa is hard as nails and will end anyone who tries to mess with Christmas.

Nominations:
North (Rise of the Guardians)
