Favorite Bad Ass Nominees:
Rita Vrataski | as played by Emily Blunt in Edge of Tomorrow |
 | The Angel of Verdun! Rita Vrataski has earned her respect on the battlefield after single-handedly turning the tides against the alien race known as Mimics by leading humans to their first-ever victory. Given the power to restart after death, she's possibly spent an eternity honing her skills for combat, which I suppose gives her a pretty unfair advantage. Still, there's no denying her incredibly awesome results! |
Robert McCall | as played by Denzel Washington in The Equalizer |
 | Denzel's turn as Robert McCall gives Liam Neeson some heavy competition in the old-guy-ass-kicker genre. His character McCall is intelligent, methodical, and relentless in his pursuit of justice. He's not afraid to get his hands dirty when it comes to helping innocent people. McCall is so efficient at stopping the bad guys that he almost makes me feel sorry for them. Naw, just kidding. Give 'em another corkscrew! |
Caesar | as played by Andy Serkis in Dawn of the Planet of the Apes |
 | As the leader of the ape colony in Dawn of the Planet of the Apes, Caesar possesses strength, intelligence, and bravery. He must guide the apes, while protecting them from the threat of the dangerous and fearful humans who seek to exterminate them. All the while, the apes are faced with a civil war among themselves, with Koba leading the rebellion, and Caesar has to prove that he's still the true king of the jungle. |
Drax | as played by Dave Bautista in Guardians of the Galaxy |
 | Star-Lord and the gang were wise to befriend this guy. Drax the Destroyer is one of the deadliest maniacs in the universe. After his wife and daughter were killed at the hands of Ronan the Accuser, Drax went on a rampage seeking revenge. With his brute strength and combat skills, he is a warrior of the highest caliber. Drax is as driven and he is fearless, challenging Ronan head-to-head without any hesitation. |
John Wick | as played by Keanu Reeves in John Wick |
 | Known widely as The Boogeyman, John Wick lives up to his name by shooting fear into the hearts of criminals everywhere. After thugs break into his home at night, killing his dog and stealing his car, John Wick goes on a merciless quest for revenge to find those responsible. What ensues is a stylish shooting spree throughout the city as Wick piles up bodies of bad guys, all in the name of puppy love! |
And the Winner Is...
John Wick
(John Wick)
Favorite Bad Ass
Wick is the ultimate assassin. He's incredibly agile, and he rarely misses. He single-handedly racks up a body count that's nearing triple digits. There's almost an art to the manner in which he so effectively kills his enemies. He moves gracefully from one kill to the next, and with his quick thinking he's able to improvise with efficiency when things go wrong. John Wick is without question one of the coolest hitmen in movie history. Keanu Reeves completely owns the role, adding unmatched intensity and flair. He shows that John Wick is the last guy these punks should have ever messed with.
