* '''The Badass''' is a [[Jade-Colored Glasses|jaded]], cynical, and very often [[Always Male|male]] [[Anti-Hero]] with a [[Dark and Troubled Past]], age anywhere between their mid-twenties to mid-forties. He will generally be a Jerkass or very serious and [[The Stoic|stoic]] in personality. Even if he has a more sensitive side, he will not talk about his emotions, his past or what bothers him if he can help it. He is brutally practical and [[Street Smart]], cynical, but [[Knight in Sour Armor|he will still hold the hope for a more idealistic world somewhere in his heart]], even if on the surface he denies its existence. In combat he is always a veteran and he will be a [[One-Man Army]], usually well known in-universe, often with a [[Red Baron|badass nickname]] to match. Easily able to mow down dozens of [[Mooks]], one after another without too much effort, his dangerous reputation is sometimes the cause of half the problems the two face, as at least some of their opponents will be there to defeat him, rather than snatch away the child he's protecting. The Badass often sees the child as a [[Morality Pet]], as a way to atone for the sins of his past, or as a [[Replacement Goldfish]] for a deceased child that he's lost. It's not uncommon for him to perform a [[Heroic Sacrifice]] in order to protect the child.
