I'm going to remove Gar as an alternate title, any problems with that? If so, I'll refer you to this.

This has obviously been considered before, but shouldn't there be a trope which specifically refers to supernatural badasses, or simply a catch-all term for those with powers beyond those of a Badass Normal?

I only ask because I'm planning on putting an entry in for Metal Gear Solid Peace Walker which draws attention to the fact that it is the first game in the series to completely avoid having supernatural bosses (Discounting the super science required to make the bosses feasible), and I was pining for a curt trope to say that the game subverts rather than qualifying a "Badass" subversion. For the moment I'll just use Badass Normal to describe it.

The Real Life section needs major clean-up, I think. There isn't a lot of natter, but the examples are bullet-ed

• (like
  • this)
    • instead of standing alone

and it seems like it could be better organized by subdividing them into something like Political Figures, Military Figures, Average People (or something like that, although those belong in Badass Normal), and possibly Animals.

Why this was put as YMMV?

Forgot to put this as the edit reason. The IP thread was locked early, but the Nick Fury pic was the runaway winner in the crowner, well ahead of the old pic of Marv, thus necessitating the switch.

Could someone please explain to me why "Bad Ass" and "Badass" link to identical pages, save for the title, instead of one being a redirect for the other?

This isn't a trope. It shouldn't have a examples and should just be an index. Cider would refer to the numerous forum threads where people failed to agree on exactly what a bad ass is but instead you can just look at the laconic. "Is insanely cool" is not a trope. "Ass Kicking With Style" the previous laconic, is way too narrow in how this is used.

All examples should be purged and this should just be treated as an index, like what was voted for in Action Girl.
