5 Most Badass TV Characters

Most badass characters in their most hardcore scenes.

Word to Fox, NBC, etc. I know this probably won't stop you but please don't delete this for copyright reasons. Think about it like this. None of these clips much longer than 20 seconds, and thus only show you a tiny snippet of copyrighted material. It's essentially free advertising for your show, and you can't be against that.

Criteria: Must be a modern-day character, with no supernatural abilities. Live action only.

Boris the blade? Snatch? cmon! watch it I'm sure you agree

[Manx17]

@mrthrillernight Isn't that a movie not a tv show? You're right I should watch that.

[WatchMyAwesomeVideos]

Michael Weston is a badass but Season 4 so far has been pretty lame that I've given up on it.

Has it improved?

[Manx17]

@WatchMyAwesomeVideos Yeah it started off slow. But it sure has improved, especially the last few episodes before the break.

Vic Mackey?? The Shield?

[Manx17]

@Linda1xx Vic Mackey is just a cop with an attitude problem. Not worthy of the top 10

[TrueHeroNiNjA]

AW YEAH JACK BAUER FOR THE WIN.

[KyuubiNemesis94]

Wheres Dexter and Walker White??

[beatthedwvil88]

Omar should be number 1. he would kick bauers as and say "The cheese stands alone."

[Ston3c0ld]

What about Walter White in late Breaking Bad seasons??

[ThwJazzkid22]

Weston should be number 1

[94phenom]

Jack Bauer is a faggot.

[everettwa425]

Jack bauer For.president

[mrnolan91]

I thought you would not show Jack Bauer. I was worried about you that Jack might assasinate you by biting your jugular. Fortunately you showed him at the end.

[MedoraCowgirl]

#4... Westen... #4??? He's the epitomy of smooth!!! I say he should be #1 for sure!

[anakoda]

Ahhh I have it on the tip of my tongue... How is that song at the end called again?
