Baddest A$$ in Trek

So who is it? Who's the best close-in fighter/handheld weapons fighter/thinking, tactical fighter? I am excluding 4 individuals/types from this discussion: Data/Lore and all other Soong androids, and Mudd androids, and Ruk, because they have nearly unbeatable advantages, NuTrek Khan, same thing, any Changeling, same thing, and the Doctor/any photonic, whom we have seen can, reasonably enough, take unlimited physical punishment without harm.

Otherwise anyone is game. Could be a Jem'hadar. Could be Worf. Me, I say James Kirk. I think a dirty-fighting Kirk COULD beat Spock. And I am pretty sure he'd just embarrass Worf.

Winning is what's important. It doesn't matter how unconventional or dirty it gets. Eg, KIrk is better than the Gorn, even though the Gorn was obviously so much stronger (but slow as honey pouring in reverse). Kirk won, and that's what matters.

Kira Nerys.

With grit and determination to spare. She is a great fighter, willing and able to stand up to anyone then mop the floor with them, excellent at guerrilla tactics, as well as being a solid gunner and pilot on ships of all size.

Agree! She got stabbed in the kidney in Way of the Warrior and didn't go down until she'd good and finished her opponent!
 
Worf - with Kira Nerys a close second.

Don't forget Sisko or either of the Dax hosts.

Basically, DS9 was staffed entirely by BAs.

mmph--I forgot about Garak (not staff I know). There's a dangerous SOB.

We need something like Celebrity Death Match. Or Animal Face-Off.


Maybe vs's would clarify: Garak vs Worf. Garak v Nerys. Sisko vs Prime Kirk. Jadzia vs 7 of 9, Jadzia vs Captain Tracey (Omega Glory, he was pretty badass), etc.
 
I'm pretty sure Garak could kill anyone if he wanted to but lots of people could beat him in a hand to hand fight.
 
Why not just Kirk? Life or death situation, he finds a way to beat anyone.

Why do you only exclude NuTrek Khan as opposed to any genetic engineered? I think original Khan would have just as broken an advantage in hand to hand combat.

I saw NuTrek Khan take hits without even blinking that Prime Khan could never have taken. The way Kirk beat Khan in Space Seed? With that tool? That would never have worked on NuTrek Khan.

You and I are in total agreement on Kirk, my friend.
 
Sisko, because a big part of being a badass is the doubt you keep people in about what you're going to do next, and the shock value of when you do it.

You know kirk is going to kick ass and sleep with beautiful women.

You know kira is going to fight harder the more you back her into a corner.

You know Worf is going to act strong but get his arse kicked most weeks

You don't know if Sisko is going to invoke federation law, deliver a smack in the mouth or hatch a masterplan of vengeance that goes against everything that's meant to be right.

Although the same argument works for garak.
