Surprised no Jason Bourne posted yet, unless I'm the only one who thinks he's a badass :(

Nope, not the only one. Some of the best action scenes in any series. Great hand-to-hand combat, too. The guy is efficient, deadly and calm at all times.

King Bradley

He's like the goddamn terminator in Brotherhood. Despite liking the original series better, that guy's antics made Brotherhood worth it to me.

On that note, I'm adding this dude.

Byung-hun Lee

BTW, he's beating the shit out of another badass in that scene. Best way to become a badass.

Korean revenge dramas; catch the awesome!

You have my favourites covered, so here is a real, larger than life BADASS:

WW2 vetern Captain Jack Malcolm Thorpe Fleming Churchill aka "Fighting Jack Churchill" aka "Mad Jack".

From Wikipedia:

In July 1943, as commanding officer, he led 2 Commando from their landing site at Catania in Sicily with his trademark Scottish broadsword slung around his waist, a longbow and arrows around his neck and his bagpipes under his arm, which he also did in the landings at Salerno. Leading 2 Commando, Churchill was ordered to capture a German observation post outside of the town of Molina (it/nl), controlling a pass leading down to the Salerno beach-head. He led the attack by 2 and 41 Commandos, infiltrated the town and captured the post, taking 42 prisoners including a mortar squad.


The following morning, one flanking attack was launched by 43 Commando with Churchill leading the elements from 40 Commando. The Partisans remained at the landing area; only Churchill and six others managed to reach the objective. A mortar shell killed or wounded everyone but Churchill, who was playing "Will Ye No Come Back Again?" on his pipes as the Germans advanced. He was knocked unconscious by grenades and captured.


From Cracked.com:

He volunteered for commando duty, not actually knowing what it entailed, but knowing that it sounded dangerous, and therefore fun. He is best known for saying that "any officer who goes into action without his sword is improperly dressed" and, in following with this, for carrying a sword into battle. In WWII. And not one of those sissy ceremonial things the Marines have. No, Jack carried a fucking claymore. And he used it, too. He is credited with capturing a total of 42 Germans and a mortar squad in the middle of the night, using only his sword.

After his capture, he simply walked out of a concentration camp.

He was also an avid surfer... (Colonel Kilgore, anyone?)

They simply couldn't make a movie about him. It'd be too unbelieveable. He definitely deserves a place in 'The BADASS Characters Thread of Infinite Cool'.
 
I forgot this guy...

hell--621x414.jpg


John Constantine.

He isn't scared of Batman...


...and tricked Satan himself no less than three times. Gave him the finger, too...


No guns. No kung-fu. Not a lot of magic, either. He just uses wits, cunning, fast talking, an extensive list of (now mostly dead) contacts, knowledge of the occult and a well deserved reputation (and knack) for being able to screw someone over before they screw him.
 
Well normally I'd say EVERY character from Gurren Lagann, but I'd like to make a special call out to Kittan.

King Motherfucking Kittan.

Also Guts from Berserk. I don't even need to go into why.
 
...and I forgot this beauty from the pages of Preacher:

The Saint of Killers: the Patron Saint of Murderers and Assassination.


You can't shoot him or crush him...


...you can't stab or drown him or even nuke him...


He just kind of stands there looking badass...

He never reloads, he never misses and every shot he fires is fatal (well, except this one time... long story). He's so badass that he even killed (MAJOR SPOILERS)
The Devil... oh, and someone called 'God'.
 
Too many good ones have already been mentioned, so I'll throw in two more of my favorites.

Toph from Avatar: The Last Airbender

And Ciaphas Cain of the Warhammer 40K Universe, Hero of the Imperium.

And credit to the entire Imperial Guard for being normal people fighting a universe of badasses, that is pretty damn badass in itself.
 
Whatever may be said of bullet time now when The Matrix was first released this scene was totally badass.
