Okay, so I think the pun is pretty funny, but still, this is supposed to be about Badass, not Wupass, so nothing indicates that it's about a character, rather than something like Popeye's spinach. Probably not the best replacement, but I'd like to get the conversation started by suggesting Aang frozen. This could work with juxtaposing of him doing something Badass.

Maybe Godzilla on ice?

Clearly badass, and he looks frozen in time.

@2 is OK for me, 1.1 doesn't load.

Agree, frozen Godzilla is an improvement.

Aye. 2 is better, but 1 was basically something like this.

I like Godzilla better, he looks more badass than Cap.

I'm not seeing badass in Godzilla. It's just a big lizardy monster that might be evil.

[tup] on cpt A.

It's been over a couple of weeks and we have 6 votes for Cap. Should we put it up or run a poll?

I could probably get this if I were at my own computer, but does anyone remember that scene from Iron Man 3 where Rhodey jumped out of his suit and punched one of the mooks? It's not an example of the trope, but it'd look way cooler than Captain America does in that picture. And I've always thought of Cap being more like Lawful Good. Also, has anyone noticed the only Marvel example on this page is the Winter Soldier, not Captain America?

[up] True but he was a sealed badass in a badass can, not sure if that means anything but I disagree, it looks good in motion but pretty meh for our purposes when in stills.

No consensus on a caption; locking up.
