Julius Caesar
Started out as a politician and worked his way up through the political hierarchy. Then was ridiculed and fought against for presenting progressive bills to the senate so he formed the triumvirate to gain more power. Basically said ##ck you to the senate, I'm gonna do what I want. Then gets thrown in Gaul where the senate thinks that he will just chill out for the rest of his consulship. But no, he decides to say ##ck it and invade greater Gaul. Wins all his battle completely outnumbered and utterly destroys the various tribes in Gaul.
The senate is like yo you gotta give up your consulship now, Caesar is like nah ##ck you and marches on Rome seizing power. A civil war breaks out, he then defeats one of Rome's greatest military commanders in Pompey Then destroys all of his supporters. He doesn't stop there, he even brings Rome to England. He then gets assassinated and through his death he kickstarts the Roman Empire.
Utter bad@ss.
That's just in a nutshell with some stuff left out. Julius Caesar was the ##king man.
As far as other bad@sses go there's Alexander the Great, Ghengis Khan, Oda Nobunaga, Frederick the Great, etc..
And some lesser-known bad@sses to the mainstream we got Captain Jon Smith, El Cid, William Marshall, and Agrippa.
Raoul Wallenberg
During WW2 he posed as a Swedish ambassador and confidently lied through his teeth at Nazis for years to save tens of thousands of Jews from the Holocaust.
There were instances of him flagging down trains bound for death camps, and yelling at the machine-gun-toting SS men that Swedish citizens were on board, handing out homemade fake passport documents to as many Jews as possible as he went. He got away with it for so long because Fascists have a thing for confident authority figures.
The guy was captured by the red army in ‘45 and likely died in a Gulag.
Teddy Roosevelt
- Led a scientific expedition into the wilds of the Amazon in 1913
- First president to invite a prominent black man to the White House (Booker T. Washington)
- Resigned cushy Asst Sec of the Navy position to start his own regiment and fight on the ground in the Spanish-American war.
- Was hit in the chest with a bullet in an attempted assassination. After a bit of mayhem securing the shooter, Roosevelt carried on with his speech.
- Started the National Park system, preserving our country's most amazing natural wonders.
That one Mexican lady who hunted down the cartel who killed her daughter. I probably wouldn't consider her the most bad@ss human in history, but she's up there.
Just so you know, they eventually found and killed her. Her name is Miriam Rodríguez.
Napoleon. ###ker got half of Europe to declare war on HIM. Not France, him himself.
Helge Meyer, also known as "God's Rambo". A Danish special forces officer who bought a 1979 Camaro and turned it into an armored beast so he could deliver humanitarian aid in war-torn Yugoslavia during the civil war and ethnic cleansing.
Harriet Tubman. She was barely 5 feet tall, experienced "spells" because of a traumatic brain injury, repeatedly snuck into the south to free slaves, was a spy and lead an armed assault during the Civil War.
Peter Freuchen
He was a Danish explorer, journalist, author and anthropologist. He is widely known for his exploration of the arctic circle and discovery of vast areas of Greenland. He was an indigenous rights activist, having married an Inuit woman. He escaped a death warrant issued by the Third Reich for punching Nazis.
Received an academy award for the best motion picture in 1933. Won the $64,000 question as a contestant on the game show. He wrestled a polar bear and won. And as if this all wasn’t enough, he escaped a near-death encounter in a blizzard by fashioning a spade out of his own frozen feces.
Christopher Lee
Not the most bad@Fss person that ever lived but definitely one of them. Dude fought Nazis and was knighted also was in a metal band and has been in lots of movies.
I'll throw in the actual Davy Crockett. For a guy so comically lionized in history, it's almost impressive how much stuff was actually true.
Mary Vincent
She was attacked with an axe in an attempted murder, losing both hands and then dumped off a cliff. She survived and walked almost three miles to go find help. All when she was FIFTEEN.
She’s in an episode of “I Survived” and her story is… unbelievable. She is such a BAMF
Robert Smalls. He escaped slavery, stole a Confederate boat, sailed away to freedom, and later served in Congress.
Nancy Wake. So skilled as she was, she was nicknamed "The White Mouse" by the Gestapo due to her elusiveness in avoiding capture. Highly talented in espionage, she worked as a spy for the French Resistance and the Special Operations Executive to take down the Nazis. One of the more highly decorated women from WW2, yet not well known.
A story about a kid getting his limb bitten off by a shark, the uncle was with him, the uncle dragged the shark out of the water and retrieved said limb from shark believe the kid made a full recovery.
Canadian Rambo AKA Leo Major. Dude liberated an entire town in the Netherlands by himself while injured in WW2.
Simo Häyhä
"The White Death". 500 kills in WW2. Got half his face blown off by an explosive bullet and tried to get back into the war.
And he did all that without a scope. He was afraid that the sunlight would reflect off his scope and give away his position to the enemy and so he relied only on his iron sights.
The woman who killed the hit man her husband hired to kill her.
You forgot one detail: She killed him by strangling him with her bare hands.
Duncan Hamilton
The man who won the 24 Hours of Le Mans while drunk.
