I did this poll about 5-6 years ago, but I thought I would do it again. Trying to stick with characters that are currently on TV.

Where is Raylan Givens from Justified?

Doug

DJariya

Damnit, he's one of the more high profile guys too. Maybe I didn't have to list 3 characters from Spartacus

FantasticVSDoom

Went with Walt... I would pick someone from GOT but not sure who it would be. Tyrion as great as he is, doesnt really scream bad ass in the traditional sense.

I need to start watching some of those shows. The only ones on the list I watch are Dexter and Breaking Bad.

I went with Walt.

DJariya

I went with John Reese from Person of Interest.

The show has only been on 1 season, but the character has alot of top notch badass qualities. Military background. Mostly emotionless personality. Trained in various weapons with hand to hand combat fighting skills. Lots of badass moments from the 1st season.

Some of you may be scratching your head at someone like Patty Hewes and Tom Kane being on the Poll. I think those characters aren't necessarily a traditional badass, but they have a harder edge to them and if you have watched the shows, they are more the capable of doing something diabolical or unpredictable.

Michael Corvin

McGarrett has lost his edge chasing that stupid Shellburne crap.

John Reece on Person of Interest is similar to McGarrett. Started out as a total badass but softened as the season went on.

Michael Weston has lost his edge going into year 18 of solving his "burn notice."

Walt on Breaking Bad is a badass out of necessity given the situation. He doesn't seem like a total badass. Hank could be a badass, but the blowhard side outweighs the badass factor. Now Gus... he's a badass.

No mention of Rick Grimes or Daryl Dixon from Walking Dead?

None of the ones listed float my boat so I'm going to break the rules and go with John Casey from Chuck. The show just ended so I'm saying it's a valid choice. :P

starseed1981

Walter White. Without a doubt.

DJariya

I didn't put Rick because in the Walking Dead threads, he got shit on more for being a bad leader and making stupid decisions than for any badass moments.

Yeah I probably could have put Daryl or hell even Shane or Hershel , but hence "Other- Name the Person" should work for those people I forgot. Going by your assessment, I could have even put Sarah Walker to balance out this sausage fest. But, I put 2 hot chicks from Nikita and that show is still on.

Axeramm

Gonna go against the grain here and say Emily Thorne/Amanda Clarke from Revenge. A close second would probably be Raylen Givens.

Meglos

Since Justified is the only "action" show I currently watch (besides Game of Thrones) that would have been my pick as well.

Michael Corvin

Definite sausage fest. I gave up on Nikita, but she was definitely a badass.

Krebstar2000

Heisenberg.

Match

Eliot Spencer from Leverage (TNT Network).

Deftones

For shame, DJariya. For shame. No Michael Stonebridge? No Damien Scott? Horrible.

TimeandTide

Groucho

No choices from Game of Thrones? Bronn, Jamie, Tywin, Arya, even Tyrion could make the cut.

wmansir

I got to go with Raylan, although to be fair I've only watched the first season (and the S2 premiere). I like Raylan because he's a bad ass without being superhuman.

DJariya

That's what I get for not really thinking this poll thoroughly. 1st Raylan, then the Game of Thrones characters and now Stonebridge and Scott.

I'm waiting for someone to now say...."What about Jeff Winger?" Isn't he the cool badass amongest the study group?

Oh well

RichC2

Jeff Winger.

Followed in close second by Walter White.

Meglos

Charlie Goose

No Eric Northman or Ike Appelbaum?

From that list, Walter White sneaks by Michael Weston and Sealy Booth.

Draven

Yeah, Raylan was my pick too. But I'm happy choosing Nikita.
