Dante. He can't choose to do anything in a non-awesome way. One could argue that he is cooler than god. While god (being omnipotent) has the potential to be cooler than Dante, god ca actuvely choose to not be cool. Dante doesn't have that choice.

He certainly beats Kratos. Nero's entire purpose in Devil May Cry 4 was to demonstrate this.
wait...do you mean Dante from Dante's inferno? i know you don't,but Dante went through HELL. is there anything more badass?

You're all wrong.

THEODORE ROOSEVELT.
You know he is right. During his Presidency Roosevelt took a bulet in the middle of a speach and still finished the speach. An hour later he finishes and says "I would normaly stay for Questions and Answers But My security is insistent that I go to a Hospital and get this bullet out from my ribs." Badass indeed sir

Well I would have to say Chuck Norris, because and listen to this, this is important. He is ûberpwning everyone with his round house kicks. When Chuck Norris round house kicks you, he is doing it with so much force he kicks you out of history, so it's actually like he didn't kick you at all. And he is also the father of God, before Chuck Norris there were nothing.

1)Simo Hayha
<quote=Cracked.com's 5 Real-Life Soldiers Who Make Rambo Look Like A Pussy>
#5. Simo Hayha

Who Was He?


Simo Hayha had a fairly boring life in Finland. He served his one mandatory year in the military, and then became a farmer. But when the Soviet Union invaded his homeland in 1939, he decided he wanted to help his country.

Since the majority of fighting took place in the forest, he figured the best way to stop the invasion was to grab his trusty rifle, a couple of cans of food and hide in a tree all day shooting Russians. In six feet of snow. And 20-40 degrees below zero.

Of course when the Russians heard that dozens of their men were going down and that it was all one dude with a rifle, they got fucking scared. He became known as "The White Death" because of his white camouflage outfit, and they actually mounted whole missions just to kill that one guy.

They started by sending out a task force to find Hayha and take him out. He killed them all.

Then they tried getting together a team of counter-snipers (which are basically snipers that kill snipers) and sent them in to eliminate Hayha. He killed all of them, too.

Over the course of 100 days, Hayha killed 542 people with his rifle. He took out another 150 or so with his SMG, sending his credited kill-count up to 705.

Since everyone they had was either too dead or too scared to go anywhere near him, the Russians just carpet-bombed everywhere they thought he might be. Supposedly, they had the location right, and he actually got hit by a cloud of shrapnel that tore his coat up, but didn't actually hurt him, because he's the fucking White Death, damn it.

Finally on March 6th, 1940, some lucky bastard shot Hayha in the head with an exploding bullet. When some other soldiers found him and brought him back to base, he "had half his head missing." The White Death had finally been stopped...

...for about a week. In spite of having come down with a nasty case of shot-in-the-face syndrome, he was still very much alive, and regained consciousness on March 13, the very day the war ended.Yeah, he's definitely my favorite.

2)Audie Murphey
<quote=Same article>
#1. Audie Murphy

Who Was He?


When Audie Murphy applied to the Marines in 1942 at the tender age of 16, he was 5'5" and weighed 110 pounds. They laughed in his face. So he applied to the Air Force, and they also laughed in his face. Then he applied for the Army, and they figured they could always use another grunt to absorb gunfire, so they let him in. He wasn't particularly good at it, and they actually tried to get him transferred to be a cook after he passed out halfway through training. He insisted that he wanted to fight though, so they sent him into the maelstrom.

During the invasion of Italy he was promoted to corporal for his awesome shooting skills, and at the same time contracted malaria, which he had for almost the entire war. Try to remember that.

He was sent into southern France in 1944. He encountered a German machine gun crew who pretended they were surrendering, then shot his best buddy. Murphy completely hulked out, killed everyone in the gun nest, then used their weaponry to kill every baddie in a 100-yard radius, including two more machine gun nests and a bunch of snipers. They gave him a Distiguished Service Cross, and made him platoon commander while everyone apologized profusely for calling him "Shorty."

About half a year later, his company was given the job of defending the Colmar Pocket, a critical region in France, even though all they had left was 19 guys (out of the original 128) and a couple of M-10 Tank Destroyers.

The Germans showed up with a shitload of guys and half a dozen tanks. Since reinforcements weren't coming for a while, Murphy and his men hid in a trench and sent the M-10s to go do the heavy lifting. They got ripped to shreds.

Then, this five-and-a-half-foot-tall kid with malaria ran up to one of the crippled M-10s, hopped in behind the .50 cal machine gun, and started killing everything in sight. Understand that the M-10 was on fire, had a full tank of gas and was basically a death-trap.

He kept going for almost an hour until he was out of bullets, then walked back to his bewildered men as the M-10 exploded in the background Mad Max style. They gave him literally every medal they could (33 in all, although he had doubles of a few, plus five from France and one from Belgium), including the Medal of Honor.

After the war, he came down with Shell-Shock, and was prescribed the antidepressant placidyl. When he became addicted to the drug, rather than enter a program like some kind of sissy, he went cold-turkey, locked himself in a motel room for a week and got over it. He wrote an autobiography entitled To Hell and Back, and later became an actor.
3)Andrew Jackson
4)John F. Kennedy (The man was a pimp)
5)The Man in Black AKA Wesley AKA The Dread Pirate Roberts
6)Inigo Montoya
7)Whoever it is that spouted off that epic line "Alright you primitive screwheads, listen up! This...is my BOOMSTICK!!"
8)John McClane ("Did you just kill a helicopter with a car?" "I was out of bullets.")

As you can probably tell, I have problems with picking just one of anything.

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?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simo_H%C3%A4yh%C3%A4
This guy.

When asked if he regretted killing so many people, he has said "I did what I was told to as well as I could."
Gotta love that.
I have to say, I'm pretty sure this guy is the biggest real-life badass there is. Thanks for pointing this out.

So, who do the fine members of the Escapist regard as the most awesomely asskicking person in the universe? (Or any number of universes, actually.) State your badass here. It can be anyone from fiction, games, movies, real life, etc. Anyone at all.
IMHO, the greatest badass of all time is Gordon Freeman. Yes, call me a fanboy, but a theoretical physicist with no previous combat experience whatsoever who picks up a crowbar and some guns and proceeds to beat the living shit out of all manner of aliens, zombies, and giant bugs as well as help overthrow a worldwide totalitarian regime deserves the title.
remember the training area in half life? That was black mesa training, I have proved you wrong. I think either duke nukem or anyone in the matrix, except kid.
