| Badass of the Week (Website) | comment |
Badass Of the Week (warning! NSFW due to extreme language!) is a website created by "Amazing Ben Thompson" in 2004, that exists primarily to provide weekly profiles of many and sundry badasses. The various badasses covered range from fictional characters such as Darth Vader, the Punisher, and Kefka to Real Life badasses such as Simo Häyhä, Saladin, and Steve Irwin, to the outright bizarre, such as this huge-ass beetle, Australia, the S&W .500 Magnum, and the AGGRO CRAG (aka the AGGRESSIVE ROCK). The exact criteria for badassery vary, ranging from individual acts of ordinary heroism to face-melting acts of blind bravery and violence. Of course, being a face-crushing, scrotum stomping killing machine isn't required for inclusion, as the Manly Tears-inducing article on Paul Rusesabagina proves.Part of the humor of the site comes from its surprising historical accuracy used in conjunction with references to various historical figures in vulgar, irreverent language. An example of the former regarding the great Sikh hero Baba Deep Singh:Another example is the Japanese warrior monk Saito Musashibo Benkei:Or Saint Michael the Archangel:The site also includes a fan mail section and a series of random articles the site's writer decided to throw in, such as why you need to convert to Norse religion, and how to go about this.Also, Ben recently wrote a book celebrating his love of scrotum crushing badasses, called BADASS: The Book, and is recommended reading for anyone who just can't get enough of of those who Dare to Be Badass!Also, BADASS: The Book now has BADASS: The Book: the Trailer.In December of 2012, Ben Thompson started a webcomic with his friend and illustrator Manny Vega titled Badass Con Carne. Read it here.Due to a server crash, most of the articles are currently unavailable, and Ben is currently working on reuploading them. | |

The Call Knows Where You Live | |
| Badass of the Week (Website) / int_12628662 | comment |
The Call Knows Where You Live As it turns out, this is a surprisingly common trope among the real-life badasses profiled. Mochizuki Chiyome founded the kunoichi- an order of female ninjas and spies- to avenge the death of her husband Ivajlo the Cabbage's life as a pig-herder ended in the wake of a raid by the Mongolian Golden Horde- and his life as one of the most formidable military commanders in history began. | |

Dare to Be Badass | |
| Badass of the Week (Website) / int_1f862cf | comment |
Dare to Be Badass Wesley Autry Rukhsana Kauser, who managed to gun down the most wanted terrorist in India when he started beating on her father and tried to rape her. Yang Youde, a rural Chinese farmer whose response to a MegaCorp's attempt to steal his land was to build homemade artillery and blast the company's gang of club-wielding enforcers in a battle straight out of the wildest tower defense games. Ron Woods Hideaki Akaiwa, when faced with a tsunami that flooded his town, chose to don a suit of SCUBA gear and swim through the black, nighttime, debris-strewn waters to rescue his wife, and then went back in to save his mother, and now works as a one-man search-and-rescue unit, combing the disaster zone for others in need of help. Anthony Omari - When machete-wielding thieves broke into the Kenyan orphanage he ran, he ran them off by chucking a hammer into their faces. When they came back the next night for payback, he dished out even more hammer-related injuries, while taking a severe wound to the face. Not that it stopped him from kicking their asses. | |

You Shall Not Pass! | |
| Badass of the Week (Website) / int_3b0479f2 | comment |
You Shall Not Pass!: The Viking at Stamford Bridge Saito Musashibo Benkei - This man was told to defend his lord's castle, and he died standing up and refused to fall to the ground even after death and more arrows wounds than anyone could possibly withstand. Whether, this is insane or not, one thing is clear: he followed his orders until death, just like he was supposed to. Juan Pajota - Philippine guerrilla leader during WW2. As Cpt. Robert Prince of 6th Ranger Battalion, US Army put it: "The Guerrillas were our flanking protection at the Cabu River, which was no more than a mile from the camp... there was a sizable force of Japanese, but Pajota and his men just killed everything in sight that came up that river and across the bridge. They were the ones that kept this thing from being a tough deal for us." The Battle Of Samar David of the sea kicks Goliath's Ass! Yakov (Jacob) Pavlov – An older version of the BotW website's article list (sadly no longer active) had this as its tagline for his page: "One man. One building. One million Nazis." Led the defense of a key building in the Battle of Stalingrad for two months until the Nazis were annihilated by a fresh Soviet army. | |

Cold Sniper: Simo Häyhä - Called ''The White Death'' by the Soviets during the Winter War for headshotting over 500 of their men with a non-scoped Mosin Nagant. Vasily Zaitsev - This man set up a sniper school in the middle of Stalingrad while the Germans were still invading, taught his students how to kill tons of soldiers, while notching over 300 kills himself. Seal Team Six gets mentioned for their sniping three Somali pirates with synchronized sniper shots. | |

His military career led him to being subjected to the ship he was on getting destroyed by enemy attacks over and over and finally taken prisoner for three years. That being said, against all odds he survived them all and died 72 years old "of very ordinary causes". | |

Eyepatch of Power Léo Major - This man killed an entire town worth of soldiers in ONE Night! His take on how he did: I fought the war with only one eye, and I did pretty good! And his reasons for doing it: He thought it would be awesome if he went into battle looking like a pirate with an eyepatch. Jan Žižka. Notable that he kept leading his armies after the eyepatch became redundant, on account of becoming completely blind. | |

Dying Moment of Awesome | |
| Badass of the Week (Website) / int_6682d6e4 | comment |
Dying Moment of Awesome Torii Mototada Don Alejo Garza Tamez Captian Ernest E. Evans Blackbeard survived being shot five times and stabbed twenty times unfazed right before he was finally decapitated. Some legends state that he still didn't die even then. "Since nobody gets the better of a Predator warrior and lives to tell the tale, if he's about to die from his wounds he activates the self-destruct on his wrist and leaves behind a gigantic fucking smoking crater in his wake, obliterating himself and any bastard lucky enough to get a cheap shot in on him." Khalid ibn Al-Waleed was such a Blood Knight that he lamented on his deathbed that he would die of old age and not in battle. Hector of Troy; being willing to face a Nigh-Invulnerable warrior like Achilles in battle is pretty badass, even if you lose. Samson: After getting impaled on King Arthur's lance, Sir Mordred, realizing he had no hope of survival, pushed the lance further into his own body so he could get close enough to stab King Arthur to death with his sword. In a similar vein, just before falling to his own death, Professor James Moriarty managed to grab onto Sherlock Holmes and take him with himself. When Doyle announced Sherlock's death in his (intended-to-be) final novel, Moriarty became one of the only fictional super villains to put a real-life nation in mourning. (This was later retconned so Holmes survived, however.) Beowulf died saving Geatland from a terrifying dragon when he was killed by the dragon's venomous bite. | |

Mugging the Monster | |
| Badass of the Week (Website) / int_7276d0de | comment |
Mugging the Monster: Bishnu Shrestha. This retired Gurkha (which should say everything you need to know about how badass he is) was returning home on a train when forty gangsters boarded it, robbed the people on board, and tried to rape a girl. Bishnu taught them the error of their ways in a storm of blood-spraying violence, killing three men and disabling eight more with just his kukri before the rest ran for the hills. | |

Killer Rabbit | |
| Badass of the Week (Website) / int_74828aea | comment |
Killer Rabbit: No prizes for guessing. The Honey Badger On the subject of the African Honey Badger: But the Honey Badger doesn't give a crap – he comes across a puff adder that is eating a rat, and his first instinct is to run up, grab the rat out of the snake's mouth, carry it a few feet away, and then eat the rat right in front of the snake just to show the adder that he's a bitch. After eating the stolen meal, the Badger then decides, "Screw it, now I'm going to eat this damn snake too". This really takes being an asshole to another level, which is something I can appreciate. The adder and the Ratel fight, and the Honey Badger kills the viper, but not before being bitten in the face and pumped full of enough venom to kill a creature three times its size. The Badger succumbs to the poison, falls unconscious, but then – amazingly – somehow comes back to life and continues devouring the already-half-eaten snake. Honey Badger don't give a shit. Also there is M3, a male wolverine so badass he will tear his way out of a tagging trap, claw his way into a trap just to maul a rival, and climbed the steepest mountain in his range at the coldest time of year for no sane reason. | |

When the brits brought him in and gave him some additional support, he managed to convince the Germans the D-day landing would be coming from Pas de Calais rather than Normandy, ensuring its success. | |

One-Man Army | |
| Badass of the Week (Website) / int_9e943076 | comment |
One-Man Army: Léo Major: He singlehandedly took 93 German soldiers defending some sort of Headquarters prisoner, and then took on an entire town alone and drove the entire German presence out over the course of nine hours, liberating an entire town by himself. Captain Johnathan R. Davis: One prospector, two revolvers, one bigass bowie knife, and the most awesome mutton chops ever, versus eleven heavily-armed bandits. Guess who wins. Simo Häyhä So much so that the Soviets actually ordered artillery bombardments just for the express purpose to try and kill him. They failed. Jose M. Lopez The guy who singlehandedly killed over a hundred nazis in one battle, and stared down a Tiger tank. The Germans even resorted to calling artillery down on him. It wasn't enough. | |

Majorly Awesome: Major Robert Henry Cain landed for Operation Market Garden, and also proved himself Made of Iron for continuing to personally defend against the German counterattack despite being shot by a machine gun (kept firing his PIAT at vehicles anyway), having a PIAT round explode in front of his face (only blinded him for a half-hour) and his eardrums burst from all of the explosions from the fighting (he just stuffed some bandages in his ears). Eventually his force was bereft of PIATs, so he fired a mortar at an airplane from a virtually horizontal angle. By the end of the attack, he was believed to be responsible for knocking out four Tiger I tanks and two self-propelled guns and he, of course, won a Victoria Cross. | |

Charles Martel (His Latin surname was "Martellus") William The Conquerer Jan Žižka - The man who fought off three crusades with an army of peasants and never once lost a battle. Harald Hardrada - his surname means "hardass" El Cid Campeador (Possibly the only badass so badass, he scared the shit out of his enemies even after he was literally dead) Vlad the Impaler Peter the Great Horatio Nelson (Called "Britannia's God Of War'' by Lord Byron for a reason) Saladin George Washington The Duke of Wellington Zachary Taylor George S. Patton Chesty Puller - The most badass US Marine commander the world has ever seen. Alexander the Great Andrew Jackson - Andrew Jackson, the man who survived more duels and bullets than should be realistically possible, and still kept kicking ass!

Winston Churchill - Served as a British battalion commander in World War I and as Prime Minister of Great Britain in World War II. Akbar The Great Ali ibn Abi Talib Hayreddin Barbarossa Genghis Khan - Was originally named Temujin, which means Made of Iron Tamerlane - Actually was called "Timur The Lame", but he's called Tamerlane because he might have been a little gimpy, but he sure as hell wasn't lame. Attila the Hun Darius the Great Hannibal Barca Mustafa Kemal Ataturk (So badass he has a monument dedicated to him in the capital of Australia, a former enemy) Princess Pingyang King Abdullah II – Current ruler of Jordan and career military leader. During a visit to Washington, the King found out that ISIS had brutally executed a captured Jordanian pilot.

Hold the Line | |
| Badass of the Week (Website) / int_c1105f41 | comment |
Hold the Line: The 21 Sikhs, a single unit of twenty-one Sikh soldiers holding a small fortress outpost on the Indian border against a force of invading tribesmen that numbered over twenty thousand. They managed to hold for most of a day, while ounumbered 500:1 until the British could organize a counterattack. While all of them were wiped out, no one doubts the size or sturdiness of their balls, especially as every single one of them volunteered to stay and fight. When word of their actions reached the British Parliament, it received a standing ovation from the entire British government. Jack Hanson (mentioned, but not the main subject of the linked article) mounted a one-man defense with his machine-gun to let the other three men of his section escape in the night. Some hours later, his regiment counterattacked and retook his position, finding him dead in front of his machine-gun with an empty pistol and a bloodied machete in his hands with twenty-two enemy corpses around his foxhole. | |

Taking You with Me | |
| Badass of the Week (Website) / int_caf89e54 | comment |
In a similar vein, just before falling to his own death, Professor James Moriarty managed to grab onto Sherlock Holmes and take him with himself. When Doyle announced Sherlock's death in his (intended-to-be) final novel, Moriarty became one of the only fictional super villains to put a real-life nation in mourning. (This was later retconned so Holmes survived, however.) | |

Did You Just Punch Out Cthulhu? | |
| Badass of the Week (Website) / int_cc4d190a | comment |
Did You Just Punch Out Cthulhu?: Diomedes wounded the gods Aphrodite and Ares with his spear. The Archangel St. Michael defeated Satan in single combat. Beowulf killed the Nigh-Invulnerable demon Grendel, and later, Grendel's mother. Kratos killed just about every other character in the game, including the gods. The Monkey King, after taking a bite out of all of the Peaches of Immortality, became so invincible even the gods themselves could not harm him, then proceeded to single-handedly fight and defeat the entire army of Heaven. | |

Author Catch Phrase: Badasses described as going progressively crazier will be described as losing his or her "already-tenuous grip on his/her sanity." | |

Colonel Badass | |
| Badass of the Week (Website) / int_cd23ee7d | comment |
Colonel Badass: Lewis Millet - Probably one of the few badasses who quit his own army at one point because they weren't being badass enough'' Lothar von Arnauld - a Worthy Opponent who always followed the rules of warfare and still managed to become the most successful submarine commander of World War I. | |

Mundane Made Awesome | |
| Badass of the Week (Website) / int_d148b019 | comment |
Mundane Made Awesome: The grandfather of Harald Wartooth was known as Ivar the Wide-Grasping. The article of Harald is replete with tales of carnage and violence, but Ben theorizing the reason for Ivar's appellation stands out as unique and of a very different nature from the rest of the article... | |

Refuge in Audacity | |
| Badass of the Week (Website) / int_d45c0b86 | comment |
Refuge in Audacity (Many of the events depicted are more or less made of this) Honda Tadakatsu won a battle where he was outnumbered 60-1 by openly attacking the enemy army. The opposing general was so impressed at Tadakatsu's balls that he acknowledged his badassery by withdrawing and conceding without any blood being spilled. | |

Historical Villain Upgrade | |
| Badass of the Week (Website) / int_e16217f8 | comment |
Historical Villain Upgrade: Played for Laughs in the article on Rupert Murdoch, which portrays him as literally a super villain. Enemies of the profilee tend to be described as jackasses, assholes, etc., even if there's no particular reason to think that they were such. Again, Played for Laughs. | |

| Badass of the Week (Website) / int_e16fb8ca | comment |
After getting impaled on King Arthur's lance, Sir Mordred, realizing he had no hope of survival, pushed the lance further into his own body so he could get close enough to stab King Arthur to death with his sword. | |

From Nobody to Nightmare: many of the badasses demonstrate that this trope can be Truth in Television, rising from humble beginnings to become tyrannical rulers and dreaded warlords. | |

Determinator | |
| Badass of the Week (Website) / int_e567510d | comment |
Determinator Marcus Luttrell Hiroo Onada, who fought World War II longer than most people would consider sane. Baba Deep Singh, who decided a trivial thing like being decapitated was not going to stop him from kicking ass. Fazal Din Giuseppe Garibaldi Che Guevara Jason Voorhees Baron Frederick von der Trenck Buck Shelford, a New Zealand rugby player who quite literally had his testicles torn open in the middle of a game, and kept on playing. Daniel Inouye Samuel Whittemore, who ambushed an entire British regiment and killed three men before the rest of the regiment shot and bayonetted him. He survived and lived to the age of 98. John Paul Jones fought a hours long battle with aBritish 50 gun warship after his own vessel had been shot to shit and lost most of it's crew and armament. When asked if he had struck his flag Jones replied, "I have not yet begun to fight!" | |

Only a Flesh Wound | |
| Badass of the Week (Website) / int_e663d3ef | comment |
Only a Flesh Wound: Benjamin F. Wilson, who was severely wounded on an attack in the Korean War and pulled back to be put a stretcher. As the attack later faltered as a company commander and a platoon commander for his attacking company were incapacitated, he wordlessly went off the stretcher to lead the attack and would subsequently kill four enemies with his entrenching tool before his company withdrew from the objective under cover of artillery. He would proceed to singlehandedly capture multiple enemy emplacements just a day later, though he was finally evacuated to a hospital after this day due it worsening his injuries. | |

Catchphrase | |
| Badass of the Week (Website) / int_e6b5d22f | comment |
Catchphrase: "Balls-out" appears often, sometimes multiple times in a single article. Even in the articles about women. Even in the article about the cow, and especially in the article about Buck Shelford, where the author could use the phrase literally. | |

Wooden Ships and Iron Men: John Paul Jones hasn't begun to fight, and he intends to go into harm's way. Iron woman Grace O'Malley pirate queen. Sir Francis Drake Michiel De Ruyter sailed up the Thames to burn the shit out of the Royal Navy. Felix Von Luckner managed to be one of these during World War One! Hell Roaring Healy one point for the USCG. | |
