1.) Marcus fenix- Gears of War 1, Gears of War 2

He cuts, swears, and curb-stomps his foes, he makes Gears of War what it is.

2.) Drake- Uncharted 1, Uncharted 2

He hangs, he flirts, and tells jokes, and he kicks ass

3.) Kratos- God of War 1, God of War 2, God of War 3, God of War: Chains of Olympus

Just look at the pic...yeah

4.) Dante- Devil may cry 1, devil may cry 2, devil may cry 3, devil may cry 4

He flings his sword like noone else...

5.) Link- Lots of zelda game and to be honest I couldn't name them all

He is perhaps the most unique fighter, however, there's not that make blood/gore to back him up so he's no higher in badass.

What are your most badass characters?

Uh where is Master Chief? He should easily be #1!!!

My list is
1. Master Chief
2. Kratos
3. Marcus Fenix
4. Solid Snake
5. Cole Train

Kazuma should replace Link, because beating the crap out of people and a second later singing karayoke is BAD ASS!

2. Master Chief- He's just so chill, it's like he doesn't need you
3. Snake- SNAKEEEEEEEEEEEE!
4. Drake- The Lover and fighter
5..Marcus Fenix- Bad ass and douche bag since what he did to his dad
