Jack Bauer vs. Jack Bristow, bigger bad ass?
I know this has been a slight debate on this forum for some time, and was wondering who you thought was a bigger bad ass? I'd say Bristow just for (season 3 spoiler)

BTW...this was a poll before...I hadnt watched an episode of Alias and thought
"How can anyone be a bigger bad ass than Jack Bauer"
Im almost through S3 of Alias...
...Jack Bristow by a mile.

This poll has been done before. I still say Jack Bristow is the most devious, cold-blooded killer on TV. Jack Bauer has the adrenaline "let's go get 'em" factor, but if I had to face one of them in mortal combat I would stay clear of Bristow. At least I'd have a chance of talking Bauer out of killing me.

Jack Bauer is deeply burdened by the decision to take a life, Jack Bristow decides to kill you within 5 minutes of meeting you, while having a light snack.
Human life means nothing to him

Thats the beauty of Jack Bauer...he's all heart, guts, and adrenalin
Jack Bristow...like a shark, cruises through the room, but when he sences a kill, he truly comes alive.

Sounds like I need to check him out.But has Bristow ever:
- Played Russian Roulette?
- Pulled the trigger on his partner?
- Been electrocuted and died?
- Driven across LA and back in 10 minutes?

That about sums it up except I don't think it would take Bristow five minutes - he'll have you sized up and dead in under one.

There IS no contest. The only people disagreeing are those who don't watch Alias.
Bauer's like, "You're going to jail for a loooooong time," whereas Bristow's already disposed of the body.He'll kill anybody, ANYBODY who threatens him, his family, or someone he needs. The guy is ruthless.

Best idea for a show I've heard in MONTHS.

He didn't give me that courtesy.
Has Bauer ever:
- Killed his ex-wife?
- Set up a co-worker patsy to get killed instead of his daughter?
- Been electrocuted and lived?
- Gone to Cuba, blinked morse code, gotten shot and back to the US on his own?

Jack Bristow is not a bad ass. A cold, calculating killer, yes, but he's not what I would consider a bad ass. Besides that, his attitude towards human life comes from the only woman he's ever truly loved turning out to be a russian spy hired to be his bride.
Jack Bauer might be tormented by some of the choices he has to make (like Chappelle), but he still does them. Heck, he volunteered to be blown up by a nuclear bomb! He goes into battle highly outnumbered, and still ends up on top.
If you need someone dead, maybe you go to Bristow, but if you're in grave danger, and you need someone to help you fight off a small army, while also trying to keep his wife/daughter/girlfriend/city of Los Angeles out of harms way, you go to Bauer.

Jack Bauer.. . . no he hasn't.
But in real life Kiefer Sutherland actual has.
