Even when [[spoiler:he gets strapped to a chair and gets his testicles electrocuted for half an hour, his plan for getting out of it is to get the mobsters to punch him until the chair breaks. Then he gets right back up and tells them to bring it. They do, but luckily Hit Girl returns just in time to eviscerate them all]]. Which is either pretty solid deconstruction or straightforward BadAss. The fact he keeps at the whole superhero thing even when he knows full well that the world's not worth saving is ''supposed'' to be a gut-wrenching demonstration of the kind of depths of despair and nihilism he's fallen to, but it reads more like a very well written Moment of BadAss.
