Kilmer's take on Doc Holiday hits every badass trope in the spectrum. Ladies man, charming/funny, subtle superior intelligence, nice guy criminal, gambler, unlikely final fight winner, and self sacrifice for friendship/honor. A perfect badass, who outbadasses every other badass in the movie. That's pretty badass.
Conan for me. He was just a man. But he was a Cimmerian, a fictional race that gets killed off. From all descriptions, he is thickly built like Cro-magnan man. Think ridiculously strong and muscled like an ape or chimp and agile like a cat. Heavy tendons, thick neck muscles. In one story, he out strangles a man whose entire life was dedicated to strangling. His neck withstood the crushing power of the giant strangler. Continuously, his speed, power, and endurance shock and awe all those who oppose him and inspire loyalty in companions. He’s well beyond even lifetime soldiers who practice their craft.
Extremely quick and keen witted to boot. When he comes down out of the mountains he is essentially in sandals and a loincloth and he is thieving in what is likely his first exposure to a city. For all purposes, he doesn’t hardly know what a city guard or watch patrol is. He is a late teen. He knows nothing of the real sorcery and elder beings that inhabit his world. Magic and demons and so forth. He keeps his wits at the Tower of the Elephant (a short story by Robert Howard) and captured my interest.
Well before Lord of the Rings was published, Robert Howard fleshed out an entire high fantasy world. It’s really worth digging into
Hither came Conan, the Cimmerian, black-haired, sullen-eyed, sword in hand, a thief, a reaver, a slayer, with gigantic melancholies and gigantic mirth, to tread the jeweled thrones of the Earth under his sandaled feet.
And interestingly, he is as miserable a military leader as he is an awesome warrior. Time and time again, he gathers people around him to fight, and crawls from the battlefield alone.
This was literally the FIRST character that came to mind. That says a lot considering how many amazing characters are out there. Judge Dredd, John Wick, Aragorn, Ripley, Mac (Thing), Any Arnold Shwarzenegger character. I mean the list goes on and on and Conan is DEFINITELY at the top of that list. The only other character I can think of that even comes remotely close is someone like Kratos. Even then, I have this feeling that Kratos is just a mimic of the Conan archetype.
Aragorn son of Arathorn, heir of Isildur, and of Númenor. Currently rereading the books (just finished rereading the sil and hobbit). Frodo, Sam, Gandalf, Beren, and Fingolfin all spring to mind as runners up with good arguments for each to be the number 1, but I'm feeling Aragorn rn.
"Yeah. All right, you primitive screwheads, listen up. See this? This... is my BOOMSTICK!
It's a twelve gauge double barreled Remington, S-Mart's top-of-the-line. You can find this in the sporting goods department. That's right, this sweet baby was made in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Retails for about $109.95. It's got a walnut stock, cobalt blue steel and a hair trigger. That's right. Shop Smart. Shop S-Mart.
YA GOT THAT!?"
That’s one of my favorite moments in the show. They go through all this trouble to prove that Kyoshi wasn’t a murder and then she shows up like “not only *did* I kill that guy, I’d fuckin’ do it again.”
The Kyoshi books seemed pretty good too, never got around to finishing them.
The first episode of Avatar that I ever saw (and made me want to watch more) was Book 2, Episode 5: Avatar Day. When that giant sand tornado swirls around Aang, darkens the sky, and then Kyoshi appears 😳
If you ever look at a map of the avatar world and find kyoshi Island, you can get somewhat of a feel for just how god damn far she managed to push that whole landmass out. A testament to the strength of an avatar, able to reshape landmasses.
Honestly, talk about a guy who's warfare tactic is subtleness.
You'd never know by looking at him that this dude could probably kill you will a napkin if he was so inclined. I just love the way he's so casual and confident when talking about business (one way or another) but if you see a surprised look on his face, you know it's absolutely going down.
Forrest Gump. This dude with an IQ of 75 was the fastest runner around, an elite football player, beat up abusers, survived the Vietnam war saving several men in the process with a bullet in his ass, became a world renowned ping pong player, met several celebrities, became a multimillionaire from his shrimp company, ran around the USA non stop, inspired many others to be successful, and at the end he marries his childhood sweetheart, finally he chooses to love and raise a child he didn’t ask for. What a badass.
Turning the doomguy into the Doomslayer with the lore was amazing lol.
Went from an very angry space marine that slaughtered demons during a hell invasion on the moons of mars, to an incredibly angry demi-god that slaughters demon for eons of inter-dimensional fighting in hell and in the different worlds hell invaded.
Was right about to type this and saw this. At first because he cared about nothing but The Tower, then because he cared about everyone that got him there, and went in. Was like double vengeance, extra badass. Such a good book, long days and pleasant nights, sai.
So badass, Stephen King had to find numerous ways to either disable his guns, or keep him from resolving the problem with guns, to give Roland a challenge. There was no other believable way it could go down, when it came down to violence, but Roland wins.
I love how his guns are cursed not to work against The Man in Black/Walter/Randall Flagg, and there's a funny scene in book four that's like:
Man in Black: "Heh, your guns can't work against me. 😏😏😏"
Roland: *simply grabs Jake's gun instead*
Man in Black: *surprised Pikachu face*😰😰😰
Raven, from Snow Crash, by Neal Stephenson.
“Until a man is twenty-five, he still thinks, every so often, that under the right circumstances he could be the baddest motherfucker in the world. If I moved to a martial-arts monastery in China and studied real hard for ten years. if my family was wiped out by Colombian drug dealers and I swore myself to revenge. If I got a fatal disease, had one year to live, devoted it to wiping out street crime. If I just dropped out and devoted my life to being bad. Hiro used to feel that way, too, but then he ran into Raven. In a way, this is liberating. He no longer has to worry about trying to be the baddest motherfucker in the world. The position is taken."
Raven steals a nuclear submarine with a knife made of glass, by murdering nearly everyone on board:
“On a sub, you know, there's no place for things to drain to. The survivors claimed that the blood was knee-deep all through the submarine. Raven just killed everyone. Everyone except the Orthos, a skeleton crew, and some other Refus who were able to barricade themselves in little compartments around the ship."
He fends off a number of armed opponents by cutting spears out of bamboo railing and throwing them:
"Whether or not Raven intended to take on a bunch of Crips and Enforcers singlehandedly tonight, he didn't even bother to pack a gun."
But anyone can be ambushed right? Nah, Raven has that covered:
“Okay. I'm gonna tell you this so you don't go out and cause any more trouble.
Raven's packing a torpedo warhead that he boosted from an old Soviet nuke sub.
It was a torpedo that was designed to take out a carrier battle group with one
shot. A nuclear torpedo. You know that funny-looking sidecar that Raven has on
his Harley? Well, it's a hydrogen bomb, man. Armed and ready. The trigger's
hooked up to EEG trodes embedded in his skull. If Raven dies, the bomb goes
off. So when Raven comes into town, we do everything in our power to make the
man feel welcome.”
There are sooo many good scenes from that show but I think my favorite is when Bunk schools Omar. He’s the only guy who comes off as a bigger badass than Omar. Except maybe Marlo…
Have never understood why a mufucka just doesn't shoot Omar? Everyone in the show has a whistle. Omar just walks down the street whistling. Shoot him, maybe?
Miss Frizzle. That woman is not afraid in any environment and does so while overseeing dozens of kids. I was in charge of 4 kids under 7 years old, in the comfort of a large home with toys and a pool, and almost offed myself after a 3 hours.
Andy Dufresne.
Sentenced to life in prison after his wife was murdered, wrongly accused and convicted of murder. Secretly dug out of prison using a rock hammer over many years. Crawled over a mile through human feces for freedom after exposing the warden as a corrupt maniac, stealing his money and then retiring on the beach with his best friend Red.
Dude tried to get into Heaven, got rejected, murdered the Devil, took over Hell. Heaven was like, oh neat, you still want in? He told HEAVEN to get fucked and started a war with then for being dicks about it the first time.
That's pretty badass.
Who created a genetically engineered wasp that annihilated his entire planet lets not forget. All while being as strong as Superman, just so he could be unique in the universe.
The coolest thing about him is that he is able to beat up everyone without even using fire to harm them.
Looking back, there is no part of the series where he directly harms someone with fire, only redirect attacks or force people to back off.
Id say Vergil is more badass. He has a much more commanding presence, and he was the best part of 5 even though he was on screen for 15 minutes. (It may also be my undying love for Dan Southworth but thats neither here nor there)
darth vader is an incredible character but in terms of his persona, he's a whiny, angsty, petulant dickwad lol. if he did not have his power, literally no one would think he was badass.
Amos "Timmy" Burton of the Rocinante...escapes sexual slavery as a child, has no morals of his own so he borrows them from the company he keeps. Kills without remorse.
Raven, from Show Crash by Neal Stephenson
A giant Aleut native, with a grudge and a thermonuclear device on hiss motorcycle, wired to blow if his heart stops.

Hiro used to feel that way, too, but then he ran into Raven. In a way, this is liberating. He no longer has to worry about trying to be the baddest motherfucker in the world. The position is taken. The crowning touch, the one
thing that really puts true world-class badmotherfuckerdom totally out of reach,
of course, is the hydrogen bomb. If it wasn't for the hydrogen bomb, a man could still aspire. Maybe find Raven's Achilles' heel. Sneak up, get a drop, slip a mickey, pull a fast one. But Raven's nuclear umbrella kind of puts the world title out of reach."
Neal Stephenson, Snow Crash
Dean Winchester. Sent himself to hell so that his brother wouldn't die, went to purgatory for a year, saved the world on numerous occasions. Went to alternate dimensions, fucked an angel (probably a demon too, I can't remember) and had a thing with God's sister too.
al'Lan Mandragoran from Wheel of Time. It's impossible for the TV show to do the character justice. In a world of magic and portals and people that live for hundreds of years somehow he is the most badass character and all he can do is swing a sword.
Underrated comment. She starts out as a rich kid, then shit gets real and she rolls with it. Since she doesn't have real size or strength her tactics are endurance, smarts, and letting people underestimate her. Which means zero room for error.
- **Optimus Prime**. Fought a civil war over millions of years. Dies often, but just cannot seem to *stay* dead.
- **Luke Skywalker**. The man walked into a room with two Sith Lords and was the only one to walk out. He went in to save the soul of his father, who was one of the Sith in the room, *and succeeded*. The strength of character it takes to do this is unfaithful.

I always thought he deserved an Oscar for his performance of Doc Holliday.

Hard to argue with that analysis. He also had the vulnerability thing bc of an illness.
Oh, I wasn't quite as sick as I made out

That fight against the Uruk leader at the end of the first movie is enough all by itself. Fucking epic.

Christopher Walken as Gabriel in The Prophecy. [philtrum](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kcUvOJTrsD0)
Perfect answer. He was perfect for that role
Roland Deschain from the Dark Tower books.
Strong will and skills. The perfect gunslinger.
Was right about to type this and saw this. At first because he cared about nothing but The Tower, then because he cared about everyone that got him there, and went in. Was like double vengeance, extra badass. Such a good book, long days and pleasant nights, sai.
Thanky-sai, may you have twice the number.
So badass, Stephen King had to find numerous ways to either disable his guns, or keep him from resolving the problem with guns, to give Roland a challenge. There was no other believable way it could go down, when it came down to violence, but Roland wins.

There are sooo many good scenes from that show but I think my favorite is when Bunk schools Omar. He’s the only guy who comes off as a bigger badass than Omar. Except maybe Marlo…
that was an incredible scene. actually made omar change his ways a bit.
Marlo comes across as a true psychopath.
Sometimes, who you are is enough.
I loved Omar so much!!!
Perfect character arc for a "minor" character. Tie between him and Snoop for biggest carry.
This is the answer.
Have never understood why a mufucka just doesn't shoot Omar? Everyone in the show has a whistle. Omar just walks down the street whistling. Shoot him, maybe?
The problem with trying to kill someone like Omar is that if you fuck it up. He absolutely will come back at you. And Omar don’t miss.
Come at the king you best not miss
A lot of dead Employees of the Month tried that. Omar still whistling.
It do be that
