To me, A badass is someone who is a rugged individual. He does what he wants when he wants. He is morally ambiguous. You cannot tell if he is good or bad. He will do something moral like not hit women but then beat a secret out of some guy in the back alley. He is tough and doesnt take any lip.
When I think badass I think Clint Eastwood's characters, Sam Spade, Batman, Tony Montanta, Vincent Vega, and Tyler Durden.
A badass like Tony Montana (Scarface) believed in being honest. He said, "All I have is my balls and my word and I break them for nobody" And yet, he was a drug dealer and a murder. He was fearless. They put a chainsaw in his face and he would not talk. That is badass.
They all had a sense of justice and yet would go against the law whenever they saw the need. A badass will do what you wish you could do or would do in the same situation.
That is a badass to me.
