As the Hulk, Banner's strength goes from an average level to the capacity to lift well over 100 tons. He was able to rip steel as it was made of paper and was able to throw heavy objects with tremendous force. In times of stress the Hulk's adrenaline level escalates, causing a corresponding escalation in strength. This is not accompanied by an additional gain in mass, but does appear to promote increased levels of energy efficiency, overpowering his powerful enemies. By clapping his hands he can make a shock wave that snuffed out a large fire which snuffed out the massive and gigantic explosion of the gas tank of a helicopter. By raising his fists and arms and striking the ground, he can create tremors of incredible force that can stun even the Abomination. He was also able to go toe to toe against Thor with and without Mjolnir, demonstrating hitting him hard enough to make the thunder god's nose bleed. Moreover, he could easily and individually defeat the God of Mischief Loki by merely smashing him into the ground repeatedly. A few minutes before this last demonstration, he took down and killed a leviathan with one single massive punch." (Taken from Marvel Wiki)

[CoolioD1]

Link, Indy, Regina George, Lara Kraft-Dinner.

[baumer]

Oh my.  I'm afraid of this poll.  Katniss is the darling of this site, surely she'll crush Indy and of course that is insane imo.

 

Rambo is another who will probably get votes from me and no one else.

 

Sad.

[The Stingray]

Drake, Indy, LC and Rambo are the correct answers.

[rukaio101]

Nathan Drake vs Link: Gun beats sword

 

Indiana Jones vs Katniss: Gun beats bow

 

Rambo vs Regina George: Gun beats..... ability to bitch

 

Hulk vs Lara: Hulk beats everything

[Walt Disney]

I voted for:

 

1) Link.....b/c it's The Legend of Zelda

 

 

2) Indiana Jones

 

3) Rambo.....the force of Freedom

 

4) The Hulk

[Films]

1] Link [but I've never heard of either]

2] KATNISS

3] Hulk

4] REGINA GEORGE, ONE OF THE BEST EVER CHARACTERS

[Mulder]

1] Link [but I've never heard of either]

2] KATNISS

3] Hulk

4] REGINA GEORGE, ONE OF THE BEST EVER CHARACTERS

 

1. Link

2. Indy

3. Hulk

4. Rambo ((This is totally unfair....lol))

[darkelf]

Link, Indy, Lara Croft and Rambo

[chasmmi]

4] REGINA GEORGE, ONE OF THE BEST EVER CHARACTERS

Forrest Gump is one of cinemas best ever characters and in my opinion a better character than Rambo.However if Forrest had to take part in a fight to the death in the Streets of Tokyo with Rambo, he would die in about 14 seconds (and that's if Rambo decided he wanted to eat a sandwich first)And Forrest would kick a highschool girl's arse, let alone Rambo.

[The Panda]

1] Link [but I've never heard of either]

2] KATNISS

3] Hulk

4] REGINA GEORGE, ONE OF THE BEST EVER CHARACTERS

 

This saddens me, I can understand not knowing what Uncharted is but The Legend of Zelda is a classic franchise.

 

I do find it funny that Regina George has more votes than Katniss, when Katniss vs. Indy would be a much closer fight than Rambo vs. Regina George.

[Blankments]

Voted realistically and came up with Link, Indy, Rambo, and the Hulk

[4815162342]

Regina George is about as badass as Peter MacNicol's character from Ghostbuster's 2.

[Dementeleus]

...who is Regina George? 

 

(P.S. It's "Lara Croft", btw)

...who is Regina George? 

 

Rachel McAdams from Mean Girls.

 

 

Her being in here makes me pissed I didn't know the deadline for nominations was yesterday.

How on God's green earth does she qualify as a badass? She'd get wiped out by Heather, to say nothing of Anita or Rizzo.

I had a typo.

[The Panda]

Because she was high up on Films' list, and given that there were 64 contestants it got to the point were a number of the contestants only needed to be nominated by one person.

[Dementeleus]

I'm just saying, "sassy" don't equal "badass".

[75Live]

Oh my.  I'm afraid of this poll.  Katniss is the darling of this site, surely she'll crush Indy and of course that is insane imo.

 

Rambo is another who will probably get votes from me and no one else.

 

Sad.

 

I voted for those same two people, so no worries
