Crack has you covered: http://www.cracked.com/article_17019_5-real-life-soldiers-who-make-rambo-look-like-pussy.html

Memorable quote from the article:

For his gallantry and sheer ballsiness, he was awarded the Param Vir Chakra, India's highest military award. Unlike the Medal of Honor, the Param Vir Chakra is only given for "rarest of the rare gallantry which is beyond the call of duty and which in normal life is considered impossible to do." That's right, you actually have to break the laws of reality just to be eligible.

This goes for the real-life examples.

For fiction, I'll agree with everyone else and mention Alucard from Hellsing. Now THAT is a vampire done properly.

Kirby. I mean... Wow.

It could go around and suck the badass out of everything in existence, but it doesn't, and do you know why? Because it doesn't need to.

Thank you.

The protester guy in that old Tiananmen Square newsreel standing firm against an oncoming tank.

Now we know why China's so populated. Those people have massive balls.

Well, he was a student who was later executed.

That doesn't take away from the sheer conviction required to actually stand your ground there.

Right up till when he finally copped it, Boris [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C55Zfeod8PI] was pretty hardcore.

Hi there.
We haven't met yet, but I am the only logical answer to this thread.
That is all.

*walks off into the moonrise on a bridge constructed from human skulls, longcoat billowing in the wind*

Your pointless rebellion against the rules of grammar is not badass, sorry. It should read like this: "He walks off into the moon rise on a bridge constructed from human skulls, long coat billowing in the wind."

Quick Quiz for everyone; Who can name one person who Badass Despite or because of poor grammar? or one who wears long coats or thinks human skulls are cool. Talk about a Pusedo-barbarian (or possibly a charcter from the matrix) faux pas.

OK I got carried away. Most Badass person? Michael Cain.

 

[Ruzzian Roulette]

Red from Red Dead Revolver, just for being awesome.

 

[Socken]

My vote is for Finnish sniper, "The White Death" Simo Hayha, who single-handedly killed over 700 Russians during the Winter War. How many real life people can say that they've been individually targeted with artillery strikes?

That guy, is bad ass.

 

[Lexodus]

Me.

I would have to say Fedor Emelianenko, the Russian Wargod. On an episode of sport science, they compared the force of his choke to an anaconda. the results Anaconda 40 lbs of pressure. Fedor 500 lbs of pressure! He was actually caving in the head of the dummy as he choked the living piss out of it.
Bruce Lee and Jet Li are very close as well.
as for fictional characters, have to include Alucard from Hellsing, and any of the Belmont family. To continually beat down Dracula (considering how powerful he is in Castlevania) no matter how many times he refuses to stay dead is something that I just have to solute their badassery. OH, to top it off, they do all this with a whip. They fight vampires with a whip.
A discussion on badass characters just wouldn't be complete without mentioning V. How many other characters can say they almost singlehandedly overthrew a government?
Wolverine, moreso for the fact that he kicks rear in nearly every game I have ever seen him appear in.

CHUCK NORRIS

 

[hippykiller]

either Chuck Norris or Animal Mother from "Full Metal Jacket"

 

[Isalan]

Its gotta be Jack Bauer. Superman himself wears Bauer pyjama's.

 

[skitzo van]

I say vlad the impaler, the dude who dracula was based off of

 

[dnnydllr]

Lemmy Kilmster, bassist for Motorhead. He's the only man stronger than Chuck Norris...not to bring Chuck back or anything.
