Gaming's greatest badass mo-fos

Wario - WarioWare etc
Wario is like Mario's evil twin. His name is a blend of the Japanese word for 'bad' (warui) and 'Mario'. His farts are comparable to a small nuclear explosion in terms of power and mushroom cloud-making ability. Quite literally 'bad ass'. He also says 'waaaaaaaaa' (which we like), is greedy, self-centered, and he's got a zig-zag moustache. Nuff said.

Kratos - God of War
Do you really need an explanation as to why Kratos makes the list? Dubbed the Ghost of Sparta, his skin is white from the ashes of his family that Ares tricked him into killing. The dude rips the wings off harpies and slays Hydra like garden worms. He's bald and has a goatee, like he's in a death metal band. He kills the God of War and takes his place on the throne. Seriously, what's more badass than being the God of frikkin War? Nothing, that's what.
