1. Claire "Lightning" Farron (Final Fantasy XIII) Why? Because she is the most badass female character out there, in my opinion. Wields a gunblade, uses a hell of a lot of powerful magic, is able to summon Odin and ride him like a horse (because he turns into on... yeah...that parts a bit wierd), etc. She has also taken down a security fleet all by her lonesome while jumping from vehichle to vehichle on a race track, then proceeds to demolish a massive scorpion robot, AND THEN proceeds to eliminate an entire battalion of highly trained Special ops guys without any visible effort or strain only minutes later. Finally, she four shot kills a god like being. I rest my case.
1. Dante (Devil May Cry...not DmC Devil May Cry) Why? Because he is the most badass male character out there, in my opinion. He looks at demons that make full grown men crap their pants all the while sucking their thumbs...and laughs at them. He takes on whole armies of hellspawn and lives to tell the tale with little effort. Need I say more?
3. Bayonetta. Why? Because she is basically the female version of Dante...though the fact that she wears a suit made out of her hair is a bit creepy. While not as badass as Dante or Lightning, she does come close.
4. Nero. While not as badass as Dante, he still has his moments...and heck, who's to say he won't obtain a level of badass close to Dante's (he will never reach or surpass Dante, however)? He is freaking related to the man (though how still remains unclear)! Is able to hold his own against the never ending hordes of hell, is able to take on high level demons, and he tosses Demon kings around as if they were rag dolls. Nuff' Said.
5. Wolverine (when played by Hugh Jackman)...he has instant regeneration, has indestructible metal bonded to his skeleton and claws, and is just an overall badass. Hell, he takes down entire armies with his bare hands/claws.
6. The Doctor...why? Because he is a freaking Time Lord, that's why! He destroy's entire civilizations, is the master of time and space, and he pilots the freaking Tardis...and all he needs is a Sonic Screwdriver!
7. Ichigo Kurosaki...why? Because he is basically a walking wall of plot armor, that's why. Kill him? He's got a hollow transformation. Defeat that? He'll regenerate his entire body and be completely ready for another round. Too powerful? Give him a little time, he'll catch up. Still too powerful and have and extra hundred or so years of experience on him? He's got the power of resolve and friendship, *****! (though he would never reach the levels of Light, Dante, Bayo, Nero, Wolverine, or the Doctor...which is why I have him listed at #7).
Together, these badasses could take on the universe...laugh at it while kicking total ass...and live to tell the tale.
And before anyone points it out...yes, I know I have two number ones. I did that because both are tied as my favorite character and I can't decide which should be listed first (sad, I know).
