King bad ass: Jack easily tops the list. It is not even up for debate.

Bad ass #2 is David Palmer. You can argue Tony should be ranked here but few will listen.

Bad ass #3 is Tony Almeida. He always had Jack's back and could beat anyone down, even while handcuffed and barefoot.

Bad ass #4 is Chloe O'Brian. Her taking the rifle out of the CTU car and blowing away the terrorist in season 4, combined with her being the only survivor of the attacks in the first episode of season 5, bump her above the honorable mentions.

Those are the only four worth bad ass status.

Honorable mentions:
- Curtis Manning: he would have been bad ass #4 with Chloe #5 but lost that position in the final two minutes of his life, where Jack was forced to cap him.
- Edgar Styles
- Milo Pressman
- James Heller
- Nina Myers
- Aaron Pierce

There are others who have had their shining moments, but not enough to elevate them into honorable mention status.

For example, Martha Logan tricking Charles into confessing and later stabbing him both deserved kudos, but they weren't enough to override her incessant whining and paranoia.

Additionally, Chase Edmunds killed a good share of terrorists, but (1) being caught by Salazar's henchmen, and (2) forcing Jack to cauterize his hand by attaching the Cordilla virus, were both just plain stupid.
