Favorite Handicapped Badass

[Me55enger]

Edward Elric.

Either that or pretty much any of the Freakangels. Especially Arkady.

EDIT: Delirium.

 

[Souplex]

Obviously this guy:

Spoiler

MIND QUAD!

Other than that, Daredevil is the obvious choice, surely? Beats the crap out of thugs despite being blind and not having any kind of abilities that he didn't develop himself. Pretty badass.

While Mind Quad is indeed awesome, if you have superpowers that pretty much negate any shortcoming of your disability, you're not really disabled.

 

[Scarim Coral]

Since Toph has been taken, the next best character I can thank off is Proffessor X (Xavier) from X-Men. What? I consider him a badass due to his powerful psychic powers!

 

[Cowabungaa]

An odd choice perhaps, but more than one soldier in Dwarf Fortress is just too awesome. Losing the ability to walk did not stop my Legendary Speardwarf from making goblin shish kabobs with his trusty spear.

But some of the stuff you read about in Let's Plays is just wow.

 

[Dijarida]

I'd say Lee Everett from Telltale's The Walking Dead, that aside maybe Barbara Gordon, a real cleverboots that was unfortunately disabled by the Joker and put in a wheelchair. Unfortunate.

 

[lord canti]

Accelerator from a certain magical index. Needs a crutch and essentially becomes a vegetable after 15 to 30 minutes of fighting. but he can destroy almost anybody in that time frame.

 

[Angelous Wang]

Do the Joker and Deadpool count? They are strictly speaking from a mental health point of view mentally handicapped.

Does Riddick count? Because he cannot see in any form of bright light without his goggles.

I suppose if you want to go for someone with a more obvious 24/7 physical handicap Professor-X is right at the top of kick ass wheelchair users.

 

[FrozenCones]

Now, League of Legends is hardly the best at introducing great characters, but I always thought that Jericho Swain, Master Swagtician (and Grand General of Noxus) was the pimpingest badass sonofagun to ever lean heavily on a cane.

Such a boss.

Swain is my go to champ in League of Legends. I love his play style and his cold, calculated personality....ALSO HES A FREAKIN RAVEN!

Spoiler

My vote is for Illidan Stormrage. Manipulating, deceiving and driven by hatred. 10,000 years is a long time to be imprisoned!

Also glaives. Panda glaives!

Double EDIT because i'm bad at formatting.

 

[soren7550]

Well, you've already said Toph, and several others have as well, so who the hell can I pick?!

 

[DeltaEdge]

My vote easily goes to Accelerator from A Certain Magical Index.

Spoiler

He's pretty much only handicapped while he's walking around normally, but once he flips his switch, he goes from cripple to ultimate destroyer of everything. He'll, he's even shown himself to be proficient in murdering the shit out of tons of people while being crippled.

 

[teebeeohh]

I can't believe Big Boss hasn't been mentioned yet. The guy had his eye shot out and yet he still saves the world multiple times.

Kudos to Toph, Joker and Bentley mentions, though; they are pretty awesome.

EDIT: Ack, and Zaeed Massani too for also having one eye.

i am pretty sure loosing one eye just makes you more badass.
and why doesn't Zaeed have an replacement eye, i am pretty sure the tech exists in the ME universe.

 

[DuctTapeJedi]

I just realized that there's only been one mention of mental handicaps so far. So, I'd like to introduce you all to someone.

Spoiler: How did we forget him?

Adrian Monk, from USA's "Monk" suffers from severe OCD. Resulting from his unhealthy attention to detail, he becomes a super detective. He's probably one of the greatest detectives ever, right after Batman, Sherlock Holmes, L, and Shawn Spencer.

 

[TheRiddler]

Captain Ahab. The dude got his leg bitten off by a giant white whale, spent the rest of his life hunting it down.

Tell me this isn't a badass image. Just try.[/spoiler]

And from The Walking Dead game (spoilers):
[spoiler/]

[http://s962.photobucket.com/user/akhilgodbole/media/XKCD/NTL_Lee_Gauntlet_One_Arm_zps0d76cafc.png.html]

Lee Everett is one determined son of a *****.[/spoiler]

 

[Relish in Chaos]

Johnny Joestar all the fucking way. Even if I tried to concisely explain how great a character he is, it wouldn?t be enough. Way better than the disappointing one-hit KO poor ol? Polnareff suffered.

 

[shootthebandit]

Really? Nobody has said Dr. Gregory House yet? Well there, I said it. Majority of muscle mass in one leg gone due to an infarction (necrosis of tissue due to lack of oxygen from a blood clot), constant pain buffered by a severe opiate addiction. Still one of, if not the best diagnostician in the world of the show.

Not to mention he parks a honda fucking fireblade in a disabled space

 

[Slenn]

The one I can think of at the top of my head is Auron from Final Fantasy X. He's already dead and has a limp arm, but still manages to smack stuff down with a 2-handed sword.

 

[bigfatcarp93]

Oracle. She's awesome. Read Gail Simone's Birds of Prey run and you'll agree.

Have to agree on this one. Any other superhero would let waist-down paralysis stop them from being superheroes.

BUT NOT BARBARA FUCKING GORDON!

I'll throw in vague 90s handicapped hero only I remember...."Mantis" on Fox (for like 2 episodes)
