Gallery
Chuck Norris... 'nuff said.
Duke Nukem (Duke Nukem franchise) kicks alien ass and looks good doing it.
Vegeta (Dragon Ball franchise) has pulled of badass feats such as holding his own as a Super Saiyan 2 against Kid Buu, a monster that defeated a Super Saiyan 3 without seeming to suffer any fatigue, and even made Buu back up in fear of his resilience and determination.
Various human characters such as Leon Scott Kennedy (Resident Evil franchise) are able to perform difficult acrobatic feats and survive insurmountable damage that would be fatal to normal people.
The MacManus brothers, Connor and Murphy (Boondock Saints films) are able to simultaneously fire two Desert Eagles without recoil, seem to have unlimited ammo and survive against all odds by pulling off seemingly impossible feats that border on dumb luck.
Barney Stinson (How I Met Your Mother) has gone past what is possible, to the place where the possible and the impossible meet to become... the possimpible.
Feedback (Ben 10 Omniverse) is considered as Ben's favorite alien and has defeated most of Ben's foes and has more wins than loses.
Juvie (Valkyrie Crusade) is a badass.
