one-man army
Unstoppable lone warrior
A one-man army is someone who accomplishes what would normally require many people, whether through exceptional skill, determination, or sheer force.
The term often appears in action movies and video games to describe heroes who single-handedly defeat countless enemies: He went full one-man army and cleared the entire building.
In everyday use, it can describe anyone handling an overwhelming workload alone: She's been a one-man army keeping that department running.
