* [[Runaways Molly Hayes]] is the unconcentrated definition of BadassAdorable. She's [[TastesLikeDiabetes sweet, kind, cute as a button,]] [[NiceHat has to many adorable hats to count,]] and her list of accomplishments includes tossing Wolverine like a baseball, flipping a Godzilla sized Kaiju on its back (granted, she was suped up on magic at the time) and punching the fricken punisher in the gut! Add to the calculation that she is actually WiseBeyondTheirYears and you have the girl I would have had a crush on when I was 11.

** I'd like to chime in with the love for Robin III, Tim Drake.
*** He deduced the identities of Batman and Robin and saved Batman's life twice, all acting as a civilian.
*** As Robin he trained with several masters, beat Lady Shiva in a sparring match, took down a British crime syndicate and stopped a bioterror plot all in his first few months.

* Is it just me or does Batman have the most awesome Rogue's Gallery ever? They are everywhere on the spectrum from AntiVillains to CompleteMonsters, many of them are foils to the Dark Knight in some way, and they are all varying degrees of awesome, ranging from mostly harmless but incredibly fun to scary love-to-hate-'em CrazyAwesome HighOctaneNightmareFuel.

** Agreed. The Punisher has balls of steel, which is confirmed by the fact that he has his own site on BadassOfTheWeek, and he's often the only person that even dares to bring complete monsters to justice. Also, despite being one of the most brutal Anti Heroes out there, he manages to PetTheDog often enough to avoid becoming a monster himself.

** This Troper always gets a warm tingly feeling of role-model-worship when she sees Superman. Maybe it's his simplicity — he's not a superhero because his parents died or has personal experience with crime or has guilt issues or went through some traumatizing ordeal, he's one just because he's that ''good''. Because he knows he ''should'' be one. Because it's only fair. Yeah it sounds corny, but just think of how rare that is in fiction nowadays, yet in real life there really are loads of people who are good, fair, unflinchingly moral individuals ''just because''. There's a reason he isn't first on this page — he doesn't jump to mind like that because there are no specific reasons for him to. He's one of those people who are so quietly, constantly, dependably awesome that he's taken for granted.
*** This Troper has a similar reaction to Commissioner Gordon, especially in TheDarkKnightSaga, for many of the same reasons.



** Captain America, I'm English & tend to hate things that are too Pro American due to all of its mistakes, but Damn it who can't like Steven Rodgers? you could suck out the Super Soldier formula from him & stick it in 3 armed mercenaries & he'll beat 'em all.

* [[{{Transmetropolitan}} Spider fucking Jerusalem]]. What a perfectly written character. He's a mean, spastic, violent, crude drug abuser, and you can't help but like him. Why? Because he's also noble, articulate, brilliantly clever, surprisingly kind, and absolutely dedicated to the truth. He's surrounded by a decaying, corrupt, materialistic and brutal society and yet remains consistently optimistic because he knows he can change things. What makes him so awesome is that he goes ahead and does all the insane things we wish we could do to go about fixing the world. [[CrazyAwesome The religion convention]]...[[LargeHam The Chair Leg of]][[CrowningMOmentOfAwesome Truth]]... He's one of the most brilliantly unique protagonists in comics.

*** Speaking of Rogue, not only is she a Woobie and a Badass rolled into one, but she's a former villain who knew she had to earn the X-Men's trust. And guess what? She DID. By proving herself through her actions, again and again, thereby graduating out of the ranks of ReformedbutRejected. For that, I will always have a fondness for her.

* Even Thought they're all been mention, well most of them, I'm ghonna tell you who's the most awesomest cell-shaded characters ever to use speach bubbles:
** Wolverine, Yes, he's over rated, sucked all the life out of the films & ruined the third, but damn it, he's a badass when he wants to be, he's better off Solo, I profer Origins Wolverine to others because then it was meant to be about him instead of him sucking the spot light.
** Daken, He's amazingly complex, & could very well take Wolverine's mantle should he finally bite it, he's probably the only one who could do it, & he has the perfect build up for a Vegeta-styled HeelFaceTurn.
** Much like the other two, X-23 is a pint sized badass. She proved that the only onecapable of outmatching Wolverine has to have his DNA...
** Or they just need X-Men Membership as Havok proves, Considering who his brother is, he's bound to be a badass who could mop the floor with anyone who gets in his way, & should be noted he's my favourite boss in X-Men Legends & the only reason I'm still ghonna watch First Class.
** The Goddamn Batman, the only non Marvel character I would willingly write for, dark, Edgy, has the most realistic origin story, & all those Wonderful toys, damn it he's awesome. And can breath in space.
** Nightwing, As an extention from Batman, he's traind with the master of Badass normal, the only man more Badass while still being just a dirty human...
** Is Nick Mother Fucking Fury, I don't swear a lot so you know I mean it, he proves Jerkass can be a good thing, his eyepatch, his guns, his mother fucking imortality drugs, damn we need more of him.
** Iceman, Iceman, Iceman. He's more powerful than the Pheonix, & could, if he wanted, destroy the sun by just walking into it, He's got one of the best super powers EVA!
** Gambit, EvenTheGuysWantHim, BadassLongcoat, RealMenWearPink, JerkWithAHeartOfGold that he will sell & then steal back later to do it again, his On-Off Relationship with Rogue is one of the many things I hated that it wasn't used in the films.
** Colossus Proves that HardGay can work for superheroes in the Ultimate universe while in the regular, & everywhere else, proves that all you need is metal skin to do anything.
** As an Extension of Colossus, Kitty is pretty awesome too.
** Cyclops, The x-Men Leader who proves that TheStoic is a powerful Badass in waiting. Take on the entire X-Men when they're brainwashed? Ha! Easy! They think you're the Dark Pheonix & are so stupid to take you on head on? Where's the chalenge! Have a good few broken ribs? Like that e'll stop him! He beat the Juggernaut Singlehandedly with only firing less then 5 shots, Why do you think sinister is obsessed with his family genes?
** Nightcrawler, the only devout Catholic character I like, no, Love! Blue & demonic can't stop him from getting any date he wants! He punched out the Devil! Beat up a group of people with a broken leg & without his powers, we can say he's the only character who has never had an unlikable moment.
** Iron Man, IRON MAN! Tony Fucking Stark is the only man other than Fury who could lead SHIELD, give him one box of Scraps, shoot open his chest, & lock him in a cave & wait two days, he will make the worlds most advanced Weapon system & KILL YOU ALL. Then have sex with your girlfriend.
** Captain America, I'm English & tend to hate things that are too Pro American due to all of its mistakes, but Damn it who can't like Steven Rodgers? you could suck out the Super Soldier formula from him & stick it in 3 armed mercenaries & he'll beat 'em all.
** Old Clasics Spider-Man, Punisher, Hulk, Blade, Thor, who can't love them, sadly I don't have timeto rave about each indavidually.
** Blazing Skull, little known, but proves that the Ghost Rider look works for anyone, even when wearin red PJs, & his interactions with that fire chick in New Invaders:
-> (Walks in on her fully dressed) Woah should I come back when you're ''in''decent?
-> Hey, did I tell you I'm [[IfYouKnowWhatIMean fire proof?]]
** And while all the others were in no particular order, the Most awesomest one ever is Wade Mother Fuck-fuck-fucking Wilson, {{Deadpool}}, The Merc with a Mouth who shows that if you scar your skin hideously, loose your body hair completely, & are infected with the worst disease ever, [[EvenTheGuysWantHim Even Men will still want to carry your babies!]] He's the most badass of them all, He is Crazy Awesome, he could beat Wolvering in a fight even after loosing his finghers, hands, & his costume & keep imagining everything loony & different. He was the one who really defeated the Skrulls, not the X-Men, Not the Avengers, Not even Gods, He did. And Damn it, weather he's a mutant or not, The X-Men NEED HIM!

**Second best? ''Second best?!?'' The Master of Magnetism scorns that feeble appellation! He is a magnificently complex character with motivations that are no less scary for being completely understandable. The range of his powers is enormous, from effects so subtle as manipulating the iron in someone's blood to so staggering as short-circuiting Sentinels wholesale. Not to mention, he's a brilliant scientist in his own right. No doubt about it, Mags is absolutely the Number One supervillian in ''my'' book!
