20 of the Most Badass Characters to Ever Grace the Screen

The realm of fiction has room for all kinds of people, from superheros to supervillains, at least if the box office is to be believed. It’s true that more ordinary characters tend to be relegated to the lower profit margins, but they’re not necessarily any less interesting. It’s not like you learn a whole lot about yourself through the struggles of Aquaman.
