No Right Answer: Best Revenge-fueled Badass Ever

[RTR]

That was some pretty manly shoulder hair right there

Where's Batman?
The Punisher?
Adam Jensen?
MAX PAYNE?

I registered just for this, cause that debate was ridiculously lacking.

Frank Castle, The Punisher is the ultimate revenge driven badass.

He's essentially Batman with testicles. He has no super powers, no incredible bank account, no genius level intellect... just insane levels of righteous vengeance. That's his power - his devotion to killing evil people for being evil. He is Chaotic Good personified.

Spoiler: You forgot me.

Hell, the villain for this film is just as valid a candidate and I'd say even more so.

Fuck me but how did I forget Indigo Montoya?

Spoiler: Hello. My name is Indigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die.

Wolverine never stood a chance against Kratos in that regard.

I think Alex Mercer from Prototype could be a contestant though. I mean, at first he just wants to know wtf is going on; but once he does realize it, he goes berserk. Of course, his preferred method of learing stuff is literally beating people to a pulp and eating them.

Wait, so the best revenge fueled badass ever has to be loveable? I call shenanigans regarding the setup.

Also, I'm not sure which is creepier, a man with claw gloves wearing a kirby shirt or a man with no shirt making my videos no longer work appropriate... haha.

Oh please, take your Batmans and Kratos's and Wolverine's. The true best revenge seeking badass is none other than Edmond Dantes.

The Count wins by so many miles the rest might as well have not even stepped off the starting line. No contest to see here, everyone move along.


Bonus points if it's this version:

This. +1 for referencing Gankutsou-one of the most badass adaptations of the Count. Only a pleb would rank somebody like Wolverine or Kratos as "great" revenge fueled characters. True, genuine, vengeance (like the Count brilliantly demonstrates) is a slow, painful, humiliating and ironic process. It's about destroying your enemy in ever sense of the word: physically, mentally, philosophically and most importantly....slowly.

Wolverine and Kratos? Please.

Probably one of the earliest revenge seekers
Also, manboobs?

How does the picture of Adam Jensen fit in to the debate? Is it because he was itching for vengeance on the mercs who messed up Sarif Industries in HR's prologue?

OT: Between the two choices of this episode, Kratos stopped being about revenge when his first game ended, then from the 2nd game on, he was a violent psychopath who'd kill everything in existence for a Klondike Bar. Wolverine has his vengeful moments, but he stands for a lot more than that now that he's also an Avenger and getting the X-Men back to their "school for the gifted" roots. Shame that Cyclops' character got shafted in the process.

It is generally accepted as a way of saying "I never asked for this."
