Line 20:
** Probably the biggest badass out of any of Shotaro Ishinomori's works, however, is Ken Hayakawa, of ''[[Kaiketsu Zubat]]''.
* Lots of them in [[Super Sentai]]. Some of the more notable: [[Choujin Sentai Jetman|Gai Yuuki/Black Condor]], [[Bakuryu Sentai Abaranger|Mikoto Nakadai/AbareKiller]], [[Tokusou Sentai Dekaranger|Doggie Kruger/Deka Master]], [[Mahou Sentai Magiranger|Wolzard]], [[Tensou Sentai Goseiger|Gosei Knight]], [[Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger (TV)|Captain Marvelous/Gokai Red]].
* A non-warrior example from the new series of ''[[
** Please, the Master was a [[Badass]] before John Simm. Watch "Logopolis" and Anthony Ainley's [[Incredibly Lame Pun|master class]] in [[Magnificent Bastard|Magnificent Bastardry]], especially the part where he {{spoiler|holds the universe for ransom and oh yeah - ''kills the Doctor''.}}
** Then again... considering that the Ninth Doctor was able to make Daleks RETREAT when he yells at them,and possibly wiped out HIS ENTIRE RACE in the Great Time War to end said war, and also wears that battered leather jacket with the very, very short (if any) hair, I'd personally surrender as fast as I can if I found myself facing him.
Line 26:
** In the episode "Forest Of The Dead", the Tenth Doctor reminds the advancing Vashta Nerada ([[Living Shadow|shadow predators]] who can render victims [[Stripped to The Bone]] in a matter of milliseconds) that they're in the largest library in the universe, then tells them to look up "The Doctor". They do. Then they immediately back off.
*** Eleven gets a similar moment in his first appearance, telling the aliens of the week who are about to destroy Earth, "Hello. I'm the Doctor. In other words, run." ''They do.''
** [[Doctor Who
*** In a similar moment of Companion vs. Dalek badassery, River Song once made a Dalek beg for mercy.
** 4 Daleks weren't even fazed by the prospect of facing 3 million Cybermen (for good reason) but instinctively recoiled when they heard the Doctor was around.
Line 124:
* ''[[The A-Team (TV)|The A-Team]]''. All four of them. Hannibal even falls into [[Colonel Badass]].
* Saejima Kouga and Suzumura Rei from ''[[Garo]]''. Both kick ass hard every time they fight. The fight in the final episode is the ultimate proof of this
* ''[[Smallville]]'', being a show about, you know, [[Superman]] has its share of these. Clark himself has become one of these as the show progresses, while [[Magnificent Bastard|Lionel]] and [[Lex Luthor]] were from the start. Then there's [[Green Arrow]], an enormous [[Badass Normal]], his [[Justice League of America]], who define [[Badass Crew]], [[Kneel Before Zod|Major Zod]], who eventually graduates to [[Four
** [[Hot Dad|Jonathan]] [[Knight Templar Parent|Kent]] was also pretty [[Badass]] when given the chance. More superheroes have also begun appearing: [[Hawkman]] is an enormous [[Badass]], as are [[Action Girl]] [[Supergirl|Kara Kent]], and the [[Martian Manhunter]]. [[Robotic Psychopath|Brainiac]], [[Complete Monster]] that he may be, is a [[Badass Bookworm]], and [[Badass Teacher]] par excellence. [[Dark Action Girl]] Tess Mercer doesn't do to badly either.
* Olivia Dunham of ''[[Fringe]]''. ''[[Combat Pragmatist|So]] [[Action Girl|very]] [[Grievous Bottley Harm|much]].'' [[Guile Hero|Peter Bishop]] definitely has his moments.
