Theodore Roosevelt: Difference between revisions

*** Gets even better than that. He had ASTHMA his entire life. After a while, it was probably cowering in the corner.

*** He famously had a severe coffee habit, which in light of his asthma makes perfect sense, since caffeine is an effective bronchodilator. He was self-medicating.

** [[Badass Family]]: Teddy's sons went off to perform their own badass exploits.

*** His son, [[The Brigadier|Brigadier General]] Theodore Roosevelt Jr, landed on [[World War II|Utah Beach]] during the first wave of the Normandy Invasion... when he was [[Badass Grandpa|56]], and [[Handicapped Badass|suffering from heart disease and arthritis]]. His actions on Utah Beach lead to him being posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor, after dying of a heart attack a month later.

** [[Death by Despair]]: Followed less than a year after.

* [[Determinator]]: He started life as a sickly home-schooled child, but managed to become the single most manly creature in existence through sheer force of will.

* [[Egomaniac Hunter]]: Actually a ''subversion''; he loved to hunt, but he was also a staunch conservationist who probably did more to protect nature and wildlife than anyone else.

** More preserved nature = more stuff to kill later. In other words, he may have enjoyed hunting, but he wanted to do so ''sustainably''.

* [[Made of Iron]]: More like Adamantium given the fact he survived a bullet wound to the chest, malaria, and asthma.

* [[Mega Corp]] Buster: He built up a reputation as a trustbuster when he took on the trusts (which were the [[Mega Corp|Mega Corps]] of their day) and ''won''.

** [http://i.crackedcdn.com/phpimages/article/3/2/2/40322.jpg?v=1 The last thing Death sees before a brutal asskicking].

** In a History Channel documentary he is credited as being an inspiration for director [[The Dark Knight Saga|Christopher Nolan's adaptation]] of [[Batman|Bruce Wayne]].
