The Elite Eight of our Badass Bracket is a who’s who at the job fair of badassity. Do you want to be a martial arts expert or an archaeologist? Maybe you’d prefer the perk-laden but unstable life of a drug lord. Or, if you loathe those who prey on the weak, you can be a vigilante crime fighter. Is a life of protecting and serving more your thing? Perhaps you’d rather be a renegade cop or a mentally deranged Special Forces soldier. Then again, maybe you just want to go medieval, in which case there are at least two positions that are yours for the taking.
Whatever side of the law these eight men fight for, they all have one thing in common: they know that nice guys finish last. Hell, even some of the meanest guys in our bracket (#1 seeds Jack Bauer and Harry Callahan, Tony Soprano, Keyser Soze, Al Swearengen) finished last. Word has it that Indiana Jones has been working on toughening up his act, but every time he practices swearing in the mirror, his father slaps him for committing blasphemy.
