Most Badass Video Game Characters

DUKE NUKEM

"I'll rip your head off and shit down your neck!"
Duke Nukem is what you would get after taking the movie Top Gun and combining it with Ash from Evil Dead. An all American bad ass.
VAULT DWELLER

"Father Lasher: How dare you enter my sanctuary with a weapon in your hand! Oaf! Get out!
Vault Dweller: You don't like drawn weapons? You're gonna hate what I do with it next! "
 Vault Dweller will marry you and sell you to slavers, thats how badass he is.
TRAVIS TOUCHDOWN

"I know a lot of gamers out there who don't have much patience. 'least that's what Bishop the dude at the video store said. So I'm at the register and then I realize: I got no money! I was seriously broke! Why? 'cause I met this smoking hot chick last night at the deathmatch bar and MAN did she smell GOOD! So, being the gentleman I am, I bought her a drink. Anyhoo, I decided to get a job. The gig: assassinate 'The Drifter'! So I went where I was supposed to and waited for the guy to show up. And there he was: this cat, well-dressed, cool. Couldn't tell if he was the shit, or just plain old shit. Yeah, so he's stylin', fast, aggressive, and packin' heat. Bada-bing. Or at least it was supposed to be. 'Til she showed up. Her name: Sylvia Christel, an agent with this whatchyamacallit association. "Congratulations; you are certified as the 11th best hitman. How about getting rid of the 10 killers above you, and aim for the top?" I wanna be number one. How's that? Short and simple enough for ya? It's gonna be a long, hard road. But who knows? Could kick ass. Could be dangerous. Could totally suck. Whadaya say, bro? Join me. Let's see how far we can take this. And for you there, holding the Wii Remote right now, just press the A button. Let the bloodshed begin! "
Travis Touchdown is probably the only virgin on this list, but hell he's one of the awesomest.
LEON KENNEDY

[Bitores Mendez throws Leon and then Leon kicks one of the gasoline barrel, making it leak gasoline towards Mendez as Leon aims his handgun at the gasoline puddle]
Leon S. Kennedy: Hasta luego.
[Leon fires his handgun at the gasoline puddle and explodes towards Mendez]
Leon
Fucking
Kennedy
RYU HAYABUSA

"FOR THE ONE WHO BESTOWED THE PRECIOUS GIFT OF FIRE ON YOU PITIFUL APES, WAS NONE OTHER THAN I, XEDONIUS!"
"That wasn't in my history book." ~Ryu
If you give a ninja a gun you have the most unstoppable force in the world, well Ryu takes down armies of these.
IMPERIAL GUARD

"STOP RIGHT THERE CRIMINAL SCUM!"
You have to give them credit for running after you during your mass guard killing spree.
SOLID SNAKE

"It's Showtime!"
He'll break your neck and your heart ;-;
DAMON BAIRD

Damon Baird: Hi boys!
Marcus Fenix: [looks down to see Cole and Baird in the sewers] I could smell you guys from a mile away.
Damon Baird: Hey, why don't you come down here and join us? There's room for one more! It's a mother-fucking party down here!
Baird might not be the coolest cat in Gears, but hell his sadistic sense of humour makes him more badass than the rest.
ATLAS

"Would you kindly head to Ryan's office and kill the son of a bitch? "
Atlas is so badass he

Spoiler for:

changed the plot of the game right when the main character was born

GORDON FREEMAN

"..." 
I think the picture is good enough
KEFKA

"Kefka: There's nothing like the sound of hundreds of voices screaming in unison. "
Not only is he a clown, but he destroyed the world .-.
DRACULA

"What is a man? But a miserable little pile of secrets."
I'd let him suck my blood iykwim
ENGINEER

"THERES A SPY SAPPIN MAH SENTRAY"
Engineer is badass for three reasons
1. He's from Texas
2. He has 11 PHD's
3. Rugged manbeast
PYRO

"MMMPPH MMMPH MMPH"
Pyro can hadouken, play guitar with an axe, and lift a 500 lb flamethrower above his head while screaming out a laugh that makes you shiver, what the hell can you do?
HEAVY & MEDIC

Heavy/Medic Combo
"CRY SOME MORE!"
"OOPS! ZAT WAS NOT MEDICINE!"
Heavy and Medic are always a combo meal, you never see the two apart. This is probably the most justified gay relationship in the universe, and its still badass.
SCOUT

"BONK!"
He killed Heavy for a fucking sandwich ;___;
SNIPER

"THANKS FOR KEEPING YOUR HEAD STILL WANKA!"
Sniper is so awesome he pees in jars, also I like to associate him with Chewey for further badassocity.
SPY

"Gentlemen"
Spy likes to fight with a knife, down and dirty like it should be.

ALBERT WESKER

"Punctual. I like that. Is Krauser there?"
Wesker wears sunglasses 24/7 and he can kick your ass with one hand and one foot tied behind his back.

AXEL

"Got it memorized"
Oh god just look at his weapons, jesus christ this man is the epitome of the awesome shit Square Enix character design they can do if they actually try.

Agree 100% on all.

But...

Spoiler for:

This list needs more Turok. =X

You can add people too

Main Character from Animal Crossing

Ventures out on his own with no money or house to live with dangerous beasts and turtles and is dedicated to murdering fish and insects to expand his collection of dead things.

That's not badass that a part of growing up.

How could you leave out the goddamn doom marine, HE FUCKING PUNCHES DEMONS.

You can add people too

Thank you for the picture; it doesn't need to be here twice


Do i need to say much else

Samus is pretty badass if I don't say so my self, she took down an entire species her self. :3
And then went back for the last 100.

She isn't on the badass list "<Irockman1> because her ass is nice"

If Samus isn't on the list, I really don't think the nameless characters from Team Fortress (ALL OF THEM!?) should be.

Then again, this really is just a fanboy thread, so ~

I only put the awesome Team Fortress characters (Demoman is a nigger)
How is this a fanboy thread, I have a character from almost every genre/system

You know which characters everyone's going to claim is the most badass?

Their favorite ones.

FANBOYISM.

I mean, you put up ALMOST ALL the Team Fortress characters, you have one in your AV, and you made a thread about those videos recently.

Just sayin is all ~

And you still haven't added the Animal Crossing Character

I put up a few characters from games I havent played so nyeeah. I even asked people in irc. Also even though my favorite character is Travis Touchdown, I'm still going to argue with your logical point because I can.

Travis is pretty badass, in a completely anti-badass kind of way. 

DOOM MARINE, MAKE IT SO.

And you still haven't added the Animal Crossing Character 

Yeah, it;s pretty bad ass to live in a village full of animals, with an axe and not go on a killing spree when they ask you to do something...then again, it'd be badass if you went on the killing spree. =D
Malcolm from UT,  he's like Samuel Jackson if he were in a game. Guns, Guns and a hat.

Can go fight an army of aliens, and not lose his cigar.

Can go fight an army of aliens, and not lose his cigar.

So badass...

Can't pick a single quote, he has to many awesome ones ;_;
