One of the best ways to become a true badass, is to find someone that has wronged you in some horrible way, and dedicate your entire life to getting revenge on said person. Once you get the chance to finally get your revenge, you will propel yourself into the highest ranks of badassedness.
Inigo Montoya, does this to perfection in ‘The Princess Bride,’ and in my book became one of the greatest badasses of all time… Its pretty tough to beat this scene, and for the record, I don’t recommend killing anyone’s father who has the determination and drive of Inigo…
