Welcome back to the Tournament to End All Tournaments! It would appear Zangief grabbed Jason Bourne, hit him with a spinning clothesline and then dumped him on his head with a tornado piledriver. Tough luck, Jason.
Help me find out who the most awesome/badass character/person of all time is!
How would one accomplish such a task? Why by pitting every awesome and/or badass person/character/historical figure in a 512-person bracket style tournament that leaves only one person standing in the end. Who will it be? You will decide.
There is no voting criteria. You can vote for a participant based on whatever you please. If you feel that person would be the victor in a fist fight, or if you think they're more badass, more epic, have better hair, or if you just like one better than the other. It's completely up to you, the voter. I want people to have fun with this, and perhaps imagine the two participants squaring off face to face.
Today is a truly American matchup, as GI Joe hero Snake Eyes takes on Gangs of New York antagonist Bill the Butcher. Snake Eyes, of course, is generally one of the most loved characters of GI Joe, as he most resembles a ninja and anti-hero. He also has the luxrury of literally being a "silent killer". Bill the Butcher is anything but silent as he spouts his xenophobic rants to anyone within listening distance. As much of a bastard that he is, he has gained popularity as a badass mostly as a result of the dynamite performance of Daniel Day Lewis. As much of a jerk he is, people can't help but love him kicking ass. But can he hold a candle to the badassness of Snake Eyes?
