What is B.Q.
The initials of Beefy Queen, Dairy Queen's failed burger venture? NO! It means Badass Quotient. This is where characters get a rating on how badass they are. It takes much to be a badass: Skill, attitude, composure, ability, and of course, the right look.
1-3: Character has done some badass things, but not enough to be a real badass.
4-6: Not the biggest baddass, but enough to make people second guess crossing'em.
7-9: A true badass with the skills and look that only a badass can pull off.
10: A badass among badasses. The kinda badass other badasses are too smart to mess with.

Kenshin Himura
Series: Rurouni Kenshin
Occupation: Ex-manslayer, currently a wanderer and protecter of the innocent.
Origin: Little is known about Kenshin. He used to be Hidokiri Batosai, the manslayer, feared by all. After a new era took over Japan, he disappeared, vowing never to kill again. But that doesn't mean he doesn't kick mondo booty. The guy's got tremendous skill and an intimidating background. He composes himself with a quiet dignity and doesn't need to kill his enemies to stop them from preying on the innocent. If it weren't for the goofiness of the show, I'd probably rate'im higher.

Wesley Snipes' Blade
Series: Blade
Occupation: Vampire hunter/slayer
Origin: While in the womb, his mother was bitten by a vampire, and died after giving birth. The young man later developed uncanny abilities: Super strength, agility, all the assets of being a vampire, but none of the weaknesses to sunlight or garlic. He was found and mentored by a man named Whistler, and became the man night-stalkers have come to fear: Blade. He's got the all-black suit, the weaponry, and a nice ride. Add that he spends his time slicing vamps into dust, his attitude that often teeters on arrogant, sweet moves and his tactical skills all give him a well-deserved place in the B.Q. rating.

Rhinox
Series: Beast Wars Transformers
Occupation: Warrior, scientist, engineer
Origin: Since he was never given much of a Pre-BW origin, let's just say he was a Maximal engineer who was chosen to be on the Axalon because of his masterful tech skills. Given the beast form of a rhino as protection from prehistoric Earth's energon, he can smash though boulders, rocks, and enemies. Though normally peaceful and poetic, get him on the battlefield, and he needs only whip out his little buddies: Two huge chainguns that can literally blow a Predacon to pieces. A quiet, calm demeanor, incredible intellect, and power to spare...what's not to love? Screw what Beast Machines said.

Vegeta
Series: Dragon Ball Z
Occupation: Warrior, Prince of the Saiya-Jin Race
Origin: Born as a Super Elite warrior on the Planet that shared his name and his father's name (King Vegeta), Vegeta's race were fighters that went to other planets, took them over, and sold them to other aliens under the heel of the overlord Frieza. The Prince was one of a handful that managed to avoid the catastrophe of Planet Vegeta's destruction at Frieza's hands, and would live on to combat anyone that challenged his power, noteably Goku. Vegeta rose to any occassion to test his skills and defeat his enemies, and did it with a smile. Even if he couldn't win, he pushed himself further and further to be the best. He fought for himself and the pride of a Saiya-Jin, and was often too arrogant for his own good. There was a time or two when even he knew he was outmatched.

U.S. Marine Corps.
Taking a break from ficticious characters that kick much ass, it's time to honor some real heroes. Marines are trained to protect this country, even the people who only like the U.S. of A. for their right to complain about every little thing. They go through training that would give the average Joe nightmares. And even then, they're pushed harder. I salute the effort of the Marines, and other military personnel keeping America safe and strong.

Batman
Series: Batman, Detective Comics, Gotham Knights, Legends of the Dark Knight, JLA
Occupation: Vigilante crime-fighter, detective (excells in other areas)
Origin: Bruce Wayne's parents were killed by a petty crook. On their graves, he vowed to avenge their deaths, using the Wayne fortune to travel around the world, training martial arts, criminology, psychology, just to name a few. Inspired by the nocturnal mammal that crashed through his window, he became Batman, a one-man army against Gotham City's underworld. Maniacs, mob bosses, cartels, or pick-pockets; all have heard the name and few ever elude him. He's got the suit, the gadgets, the vehicles, and one Hell of an intimidation factor. He's taken opponents down in one punch on many occassions. That, and it's rather awe inspiring that a guy that dresses like a bat has so many women swooning after him. He's THAT good.

Conan O'Brien
Series: Late Night with Conan O'Brien
Occupation: Talk show host, funnyman
Origin: A Boston born Irish Catholic, this tall crimson haired fun-monkey snuck his way into David Letterman's old NBC show...and into our hearts. Okay, so he's not really a badass. He doesn't kick much ass and doesn't have a cool costume. But there's something to be said about a guy who's constantly willing to risk his trumpet player's life when Micheal Bolton is out to kill him. Nothing badass, but SOMETHING nontheless. He's also got a really cool name. Conan! C'mon. Say it. CONAN! Sounds good, don't it? CONAN!
And besides...isn't he just adorable?
