For instance, Rick Hunter, one of the lead characters who was a cocky pilot himself, is more than ready to acknowledge that Max is far better than himself, which of course makes him a great wingmate to have with you in battle. He's made a nice guy and a hopeless romantic (who almost gets in a Star-Crossed Lovers romance at some point, but manages to make his Hot Amazon rival pull a Heel Face Turn) to make him more of a sympathetic character, though, and the heroes want to have him for a friend both on and off duty. In the show's proper run, main character Kenshin (himself already famous as a savant of swordsmanship) struggles for months trying to learn how to fight as well as his master, and only gains the right to inherit his master's mantle after a very, very hard struggle-at which point his master reveals that the cape he wears is literally lined with a large amount of metal weights, meaning that he was still probably twice as strong as his student. In the OAV prequel to the show ("Trust and Beatrayal"), Seijuro is introduced by essentially causing a man to evaporate into nothing by hitting him so quickly with his sword. He is so ridiculously powerful that the story never pits him against anyone important, as there would be no dramatic tension involved. The bearded guy from the Heineken commercial.The Man Your Man Could Smell Like from the 2010 Old Spice commercials.For more of his exploits, see the other commercials here.

If the ace's private life isn't nearly as great as it seems from the outside, then they're a Broken Ace. If the ace's talent is operating combat vehicles, then they're an Ace Pilot, but note that not all ace pilots are an example of the Ace. It is common in Romance stories, as what they are good at usually has little effect on the romantic plot. By the time this happens the real Ace would've been hit by The Worf Effect a few times, that or they two will just finally be standing on equal ground. ![]() However The Hero typically evolves into an Ace by the end of their story by virtue of having the most potential to unlock. If they're a minor but reoccurring character, then they'll almost certainly be Hero of Another Story. As such, if they're a main character, expect them to be either The Rival or The Mentor. They'll drive the protagonist to greater efforts either out of envy or by inspiring them. The Ace is rarely the protagonist, typically acting as the living embodiment of Always Someone Better. In works lacking that sort of focus, they'll probably be extremely talented at everything. In a work revolving around a specific activity, any kind of Serious Business, the Ace will be the best at it. He has a reputation for doing the impossible, and may be Shrouded in Myth, as people are unable to separate his real accomplishments from unfounded rumors. People look up to him, envy him, are in awe of him. The Ace is someone who is ridiculously good the whatever they're doing and everyone knows it. File:Icons-mini-icon extension.gif Playing With.
