So who is the biggest badass in comics?

I'd say the Blob is Comicdom's Baddest BigAss.

A long long list really and there's no one single Fair answer. I could put forth The Hulk, Deathstroke, Batman, Wonder Woman, Prometheus, Namor, Ares, Sinestro and so On & On & On.... but whittling it down here's a few top-spot contenders:

Lobo is a cartoon and hard to take seriously,

Etrigan is on the list but not quite mean enough,

The Red Hulk is on the list too but again not mean enough, Not anymore at least.

Supreme would be my #1 maybe but he's long out of print,

Superboy-Prime would top the list realistically but i'm thinking he's more a confused spiteful teenager than badass....

So that leaves Mr Majestic who's very hard nosed and no-nonsense or Black Adam who's a more brutal uncompromising figure than Majestic. Both have the power and attitude that makes them near unstoppable.

Black Adam edges it though as he's got the combination of a perverted sense of self-righteousness and is willing to maim or kill in the service of it.

Maybe not as big as the Blob's, and she's not as bada** (attitude-wise, anyway, though she might be able to take him down;how's his flame resistance?), but definitely *ahem* hotter, literally AND figuratively. More like an "I like big butts and I cannot lie" kind of a**.


Don't forget Pink Pearl, too. Closer to Blob's weight class.

He has that noble snotty thing that namor has combined with Punisher's willingness to kill. He doesn't back down. He doesn't mince words. He doesn't have reservations. He does not scatter. He will take you and your mother on, even if your mother is the beyonder.

The Hulk I don't see as a badass. Banner doesn't kill. He has reservations. Wolverine is a decent choice, but somewhere along the line the guy got a heart.


Actually the punisher would be second on my list. Due to his lack of powers. yet he still goes out and does what he does with a bunch of superpowered beings running around.

I only read the Secret Wars I and II so I don't know if she's been in any other comics since, but she never seemed to be the blimp Shooter made her out to be, aside from some jarring off-model panels towards the end of SWII.

I really liked Volcana, far more interesting character than Titania.

As opposed to some anatomically impossible Liefeld fantasy.

The Phantom, because he does what Batman does but better, and Hercules, because he does what Hulk does but better.
