I have met a guy who was born and lived in South Africa for along time. There he used to have a pet cheetah and after growing up some he worked as a guerrilla for the army and took part in several missions that included killing people.
But now he lives in Japan and teaches english to japanese people which is probably just as difficult, although safer and with a better salary

Probably my uncle. According to family legend, he has:
-Been kicked out of New Zealand, for an incident involving an official's daughter
-Been kicked out of Malaysia for starting a fight in a gay bar
-Threw a person out a window for insulting his mother while he was in school
-Put chemicals in a school water fountain, causing it to smoke when people used it
-Got -12% in grade nine physics (he got a mark off for every time he contradicted himself on an essay. It was worth a lot, and he contradicted himself a lot)
-Disappeared for ten years
These may or may not be true (except the last one, that one is true), but the fact that other family members would say this about him gives it a bit of merit to who he is.

My grandfather. The man had Polio, which he got over with only a slight limp to show for it, and the whole time he was working part time maintaining railroads, all before he was 17.
He's also been in five car accidents with no scratch to show for it, and to top it off he knows Kung Fu.

The Queen Mother, that lady has 1337 COD skills.....not really of course she prefers the Age of Empires Buddum tish!
I had this teacher once, who thougth physics at my school. He was about 70 and delayed his retirement several years, because they didn't find a new teacher. While he made his diploma decades ago he never stoped educating himself and was always up to date to ANYTHING that happend in the world of (physics-related) science across the globe.
I admire that, because he didn't get any reward for it and was able to kick most younger peoples ass in terms of mental quickness.
Edit: On a second note. There was this grandpa of my father's collegue, whom I saw only from afar at a festival. Word is that he was held prisoner of war after the battle of Stalingrad for quite some time and that he walked home from there after his release (Home being bavaria). Took him about two years, but he made it.
Edit2: The guy who sells turkish fastfood in my town has a diploma of engineering from the university of Bagdadh. He came to germany during the first gulf war and the country refused to accept his degree. So he opened a shop for fast food. He still can get up every morning despite the fact that the built bridges in iraq, but germany thinks hes only good enough to make fries. That's pretty badass, I think.

I work at a hardware store and occasionally this really badass looking guy comes into pick up merchandise. He's usually wearing a mechanic's uniform with his name stitched on it. His name.... is Dallas Busey - the most badass sounding name ever.
An ex green beret who saw combat and performed black ops in Vietnam. Several of which are still classified.
I met Chris Ryan, ex-SAS, he's an author now. His whole unit was captured in the Middle-East (Sorry, I can't remember the specific country.) After being tortured, he had to walk almost the breadth of the country barefoot and sliced up to get medical help at a base. I met him at a signing and had a pretty long conversation with him afterwards.
The old judo trainer guy at the club I went to (some years ago). Actually, there were 2 epic badass people there. This guy: name is Joseph, about 55, one eye brown the other blue, could throw a guy well over 100 kilos across the goddamn room without any trouble. (he was kinda skinny). And he generally had a very badass attitude. The nice kind, which is even better.
The other guy, don't know how to translate his name to english (Zsiga), was crippled. He could barely use the left side of his body: he head trouble standing, and his left arm was completely numb. And this guy went to official championships for non-disabled people, and won them fair and square.
Also, I tend to simply laugh at serious injuries (mine anyway), does that make me badass? *hopefulface*
