Any competent warrior; from [[WorldsStrongestMan the best fighter]] [[WorldsBestWarrior in universe]] to just any trained fighter. If fighting is required, it's best if you can handle it well enough to avoid embarrassing yourself. A Badass is a character that is known for their ability to fight and carry their own weight. If Alice can defeat three grown men attacking her at once, that's pretty impressive. However, she might be outclassed by the Badass characters who can defeat three hundred grown men at once.

The character always finds themselves in dangerous situations and uses all his abilities to come out safely, or even on top. They may draw themselves to it (being a BloodKnight, likes to be InHarmsWay, it is part of your quest or of your day job) or they may be drawn into it (they're being dragged by other people or circumstances). And they tend to go beyond expectations. See WeDoTheImpossible; when this is done when they don't intend to, see BadassUnintentional. If they survive due to their luck, see BornLucky.

* BadassAndChildDuo: Badass has a child following him around. And woe betide anyone who tries to target that kid.

* FullBoarAction: This boar with big armour and big tusks is here to kick ass and chew swill. And he's all out of swill.

* BadassOnPaper: They genuinely did something badass as people said... but it might be not so awesome when you actually witness it. And they would agree.

! Badass as RuleOfCool

Typically, Badass will come down to presentation. Often, even supposedly "normal" badasses can pull off stunts that would be considered highly unlikely in real life, such as fighting off a dozen soldiers at once or shrugging off what should really be a fatal or incapacitating injury. However, many badasses are not limited to what would be passingly reasonable in real life, allowing all sorts of superpowers to come into the equation as necessary, or perhaps their appearance or role is drastically at odds with their ability, such as a little girl tossing adult men like rag dolls.

!Badass as "One of the best and most competent warriors in a given setting".
We have this as WorldsStrongestMan and WorldsBestWarrior.

This could be called the super trope for tropes such as TheDreaded, FamedInStory, and LivingLegend.

We have this as BrassBalls and NervesOfSteel. If the character is not competent enough to match their darring do, then they are a DarwinAward winner.

We have this as RatedMForManly. When it's exaggerated for parody, see TestosteronePoisoning.

We have this as WeDoTheImpossible.

* WorldOfBadass: An entire world of badasse.

An idealization of the author or the audience. These characters are exceptionally brave, strong, skilled etc. Some might accuse them of being overpowered. It's basically the SpearCounterpart of MarySue.

This {{trope}} is [[IThoughtItMeant not what you say to]] a StubbornMule. The below is a list of what it ''could'' be depending the person and situation.

RuleOfCool personified.

In more detail, [=Badass=] is an adjective used to describe a character who gets away with outright insane stunts (defusing a bomb with their teeth, [[DidYouJustScamCthulhu conning a mob boss]], [[OneManArmy getting into a firefight with the entire army]], etc.) that would be very hard to pull off in RealLife, or would get the person trying it killed several times over. A badass is a fantasy figure whom the audience roots for precisely because of how prone they are to [[MomentOfAwesome awesome moments]], to the point where they may stretch or break the WillingSuspensionOfDisbelief. Of course, WillingSuspensionOfDisbelief may still be maintained depending on the mechanics of the universe.

It's notable that fans are more likely to tolerate a violent maniac of a "hero" than a befuddled, cowardly ClassicalAntihero and attempts to parody or deconstruct this trope often give the intended target a MisaimedFandom -- no matter how crazy the character gets (a good example being Rorschach from ''ComicBook/{{Watchmen}}).'' Fans will sometimes just ignore the character's flaws and instead focus on how badass they are or use the character's badasse to trivialize these flaws. This has led to a new {{trope}}: the SociopathicHero. Writers beware: Make a character too badass and either GodModeSue or JerkSue will stride OutOfTheInferno of your work.

When EpicFail combines with an attempt at being trope InUniverse, the result is usually a very simple way to [[InvokedTrope invoke]] LeeroyJenkins and/or TooDumbToLive. For a child-friendly version of the badass whose badasse is somewhat diminished by the limitations of the work, see {{Badbutt}}.

This {{trope}} is [[IThoughtItMeant not what you say to]] a StubbornMule.

* BadassInCharge: Pretty much speaks for itself.

Considering almost ''every'' hero of ancient myth was Badass Incarnate[[{{Tradesnark}} ™]], this trope is OlderThanDirt.
