• Badass Chronicles: Omar Little (The Wire)

  
  

  In case you haven't seen the most critically acclaimed TV show of all time, The Wire, Omar Little is a combination of Robin Hood, Charlton Heston, and a big barrel of balls. 
  

  He wears a trench coat, he wields a shotgun, he steals from drug dealers and gives back to helpless citizens, he has a facial scar that looks like his head was split in half, and above all of this, he's the only character on the show that refuses to use profanity. 
  

  Like a wet dream for the D.A.R.E campaign, Omar will steal your entire stash, put a few rounds in that shitty Phish record you were listening to, and be home in time to take his grandma to church. 
  

  You'd think that being the lone outlaw of one of the worst drug scenes in the country might warrant an early death, but Omar did it for ten years with a strict moral code of whistling "Farmer in the Dell" after ripping someone a half-dozen new assholes.
  

  Most badass quote: "You come at the king, you best not miss."

  
  

  Do you think Omar's a badass? Got any suggestions for other badasses?
