You kids and your elite commandos, assassins, and magical superfolk. I belong to one of the oldest, most badass videogame organizations in existence.



Prepare for trouble.
Make it double.

The Imperial Guard. Billions and billions of warriors flooding over the Imperium attacking in mass waves and tons of tanks and other war machines.

I voted Spectre (Mass Effect) because as soon as I read the words 'favourite' 'badass' and 'organisation', I immediately thought of S.P.E.C.T.R.E. from the bond films and, well, I guess that's the closest option :p

Section 9 from Ghost in the Shell.

I mean seriously, the Major is a cybernetic woman who kicks ass and solves crime. That is awesome.

Keepers from Thief? As much as I love the series, they're not so much badass as just an 'illuminati' style organization with a penchant for running things from behind the scenes. Sure they've gained some magic and neat tricks, but that's more just because of all the knowledge they've hoarded and have access too rather than any innate awesomeness as an organization.

On this I'd have to go with Force User, since as one particularly memorable character put it: "Don't be too proud of this technological terror you've constructed. The ability to destroy a planet is insignificant next to the power of the Force."

The SPARTAN-IIs of Halo probably win this thread. Simply because they are trained from the age of six. No other group in that poll, or any that I can think of save the real Spartans, has ever done that. Not to mention the fact that SPARTAN-IIs are resistant to the Flood, which would wipe out every other badass faction out there, and have armour that allows them to connect directly through a neural lace to most computer systems. Add in the augmentations that make them the Halo equivalent of Wolverine, without the extending claws (rectified by stealing an energy sword) or the healing factor (rectified in the books with 'biofoam'), and the SPARTAN-IIs are the most badass group to exist.

Also, take the SPARTAN-Is like Sgt. Johnson into consideration. Johnson, as a Spartan, was still kicking rebel and Covenant ass well into his eighties. And the SPARTAN-IIIs were literally sent out on suicide missions to basically do maximum damage to the Covenant, to the point where it was solely down to them that the fleet was so small that ended up gathering at the Unyielding Heirophant (true, Master Chief decimated them after that and thus managed to drastically reduce the enemy that attacked Earth in Halo 2, but if the SPARTAN-IIIs hadn't done their bit MC's job would have been literally a few hundred times more difficult...).

TL; DR: The SPARTANs kick major space ass...

You're completely correct, and I fully agree. Too bad most people on here think Halo has no deep story and will consider this to be completely false.
Yup :). I'm just waiting for the first person to turn around and say "WTF?!? Sgt. Johnson's a SPARTAN?"
I did that the first time I heard about that, now it makes sense, I mean how else could be such a badass?

while I agree with you that the Spartans, especially the Spartan-IIIs, are pretty badass, let it be known that at at its peak the Jedi Order was recruiting months old children to begin their training... that is why Anakin was considered way too old to begin his training at 9 years of age.

Well, In addition to the ones that have been listed in the thread, I'm going to have to say Team Rainbow. Think about it, the most elite Black Ops agents from around the world united to take out any ************ to threaten global peace quickly and quietly. Plus they have awesome music in the games


Also Third Echelon and the Ghosts. Damnit! I think I have the Tom Clancy games on the brain again, happens every few months or so.

Another group that's absolutely badass would be the Clone Commandos from well Republic Commando. Created to have regenerative health (sort of) and shields, are as stealthy as possible, yet know when to bring the noise, use a badass and adaptable rifle, and have armor that has, among other features, enhanced strength, a gauntlet mounted vibroblade... and a Star Wars equivalent of windshield wipers. And though I respect the SPARTAN project, these guys win out slightly in my mind because they are literally created to be badasses!

Out of the list I have to say Spartan; even though I really don't care about Halo one bit.

-The BoS are pretty bad ass but they are still more or a security force for technology and knowledge, which is admirable, but not quite as bad-ass as others

-I like the Gray Wardens but as an organization they must rely on the force of political ties to really get things done.

-Spectre is bad ass but they can only function under orders of the council who has time and time again stuck their heads in the sand and done literally nothing. Which is why it falls on Shepard to do everything.

Nothing is really as bad ass as Space Marines, but I'd have to go with Warhammer Space Marines over Spartans; they are truly bad ass.

Peace is a lie. There is only passion.
Through passion, I gain strength.
Through strength, I gain power.
Through power, I gain victory.
Through victory, my chains are broken.
The Force shall free me.

The White Council. Badass league of the most powerful mages in the world. Granted its from a book, but you picked a graphic novel so I figured it was fair game.

Gray Wardens from Dragon Age, it's an easy choice as the organization does whatever they need to do in order to get the job done, forgery, poison, savangry, hell I bet they'd rape someone if it helped their job. The best part is they're allowed to do so, just flash your warden badge and burn down a village.
