Who is the most bada** woman in fiction?

@zhurong: Obviously indeed.

Molly Millions - Neuromancer

The Boss - MGS 3

Diana - V (80s version)

If you've seen her moves, you know it's true.

Wyldstyle!

I watched 300: Rise of an Empire a few days ago, and I can say, with absolute certainty, that Artemisia is one of the bada$$ women I've seen in film.

She made that film.

This. Basically the progenitor of strong women in movies.

Since this is a comics website, I am going with Wonder Woman. And Squirrel Girl.

One of these two:

I choose Bulma actually. Only a Badass can control another Badass as her husband.

gotta go with the two classic women of action

How many females without superpowers can?

I really enjoyed her animated origin sequence.

@dngn4774: Gamora?

@feral_nova: This. They are the real deal. I could also add Trinity.

@dngn4774: That was my point but they decided to pick out the obvious choices

Obvious choices are obvious for a reason.

I can't decide!

There are many that deserve mention, dozens, and I feel like I'm doing an injustice to them by naming just one. But if I had to choose only one:

Vi, the Piltover Enforcer, and the One Girl Wrecking Crew

When instead of guns, you fight crime with gauntlets that make your punches the equivalent of getting hit by a truck, and that hair and face, you reach the Final Level of Badass. You don't need tons of lore and character development for that.

(I know the OP didn't specify video games, but since no one is complaining about Lara Croft, I think my option is valid too)

Ororo Munroe aka Storm

Aunt May. She's unbeatable.

On a real note, I got to go with Psylocke. She may not be my favorite female character, but she's a bloody ninja.

Edge of Tommorow - Rita Vrataski

KICKASS - Hitgirl

ALIEN - RIPLEY

Avatar the last Airbender - AZULA

Samus Aran, Samus Aran, Samus Aran~

Shiva,Talia Al Ghul, or Minnie Mouse

Pearl Jones

I was going to make a joke about women in the kitchen, but I can see I'm too late for that.

They're pretty bada$$

The Seven Sisters of the Forgotten Realms are all pretty damn badass.

@jedixman said:

Yup.

Beatrix Kiddo is the most bada$$ in the movies.

Beatrix Kiddo.

@mlanstorm: To me, O-Rin was more badass. She was leader of an entire crime family of Japan.

Hmmm there are too many to mention. I'll come back later and post here again.

I honestly find it hard to think of a character who isn't badass in some way. They just don't stick otherwise, regardless of gender.

Dahlia in the Drizzt books is pretty badass, and Danica Bonaduce from the Cleric Quintent.

Ellen Ripley is an obvious.

Sarah Connor is obvious as well.

From the comic world Psylocke and Black Canary fit the bill as well.

Revy from Black Lagoon is pretty bad ass but mark my words, this title will belong to Cassie Cage in the future.

Women can't really learn to fight because they're to busy in the kitchen.

@comicstooge: Agreed

wonder woman, gamora, big barda, supergirl, power girl, black canary, chi chi, bulma, go go, and honey lemon.

Molotov Cocktease. Who else can go one-on-one with Brock Samson?

God.
