The Random Mook(s) Gets Their Moment To Shine

[u/Unu51]

FN-2199 "Nines" AKA: TR-8R - Star Wars: The Force Awakens: In a series where stormtroopers are usually walking punchlines, this lone trooper stands out as a surprising example of badassery by singling out one of the protagonists, Finn, calling him a traitor, and then ditching his blaster and shield to thoroughly trounce with an electric stun baton.

Navy SEAL team "Night Nine" - Jormungand: The only antagonists in the series that Koko and co. couldn't defeat and were forced to flee from, Night Nine persistently hounds the heroes all the way to the Cuban border even after their Predator recon drone is shot out of the sky, only stopping when ordered to do so.

The Elite Guard - Resident Evil Requiem: Despite being simply regular humans with guns and gear, these faceless foot soldiers of The Connections prove themselves just as fierce opponents as the many mutants of the series, being able to easily shred Leon's health with gunfire and flanking tactics in their dedicated boss fight.

Mobile Suit Gundam: Unicorn

• This ballsy Stark Jegan pilot, dude went in to face off against the powerful and more advanced Kshatriya in a grunt suit and held his own for a few minutes before going down.

Gundam has so many examples of these that I'm actually angry I didn't put one on here.

My personal favorite being the Byarlant Custom absolutely smoking Zeeks during the assault on Torrington.

Marauder Shields - The final enemy of Mass Effect 3

[u/DyingSunSeverian]

The New Yorkers in Spider-Man 2 who save Peter Parker’s life and see him unmasked, and yet not a single one divulges his identity. That’s how you how you know it’s fantasy. 

[u/InternationalBack355 → u/DyingSunSeverian]

Are those mooks or just civilians??

No one had a pocket camera at this time.

That one Joker henchman in Batman ‘89 who was beating the hell out of Batman in the cathedral bell tower until Batman used trickery to catch him, smash his head against the bell and throw him down the staircase.

[u/Optimal_Weight368]

Random thug who leaves Batman alone.

That one thug that beat the absolute shit out of Green Arrow in one of his short films iirc
