Top 2 Badass Captain in SF History

Much though I love Sisko, I don't think he's more badass than Kirk. The other guy was a nice character for the five minutes he was on screen, but his badassness is more meme than anything else, no?

The unfortunate thing is that Sisko's dedication and preference to Bajor and the Prophets as a religious figure will always make Picard and Kirk "better Captains" on loyalty to Starfleet alone.

Robau went out like a punk with a giant fork in his chest. :guffaw:
Love your sig. Sums things up perfectly.

I'm not one to use the term "badass". Partly because it'd sound like "badarse" if I said it, and partly because I can't bring myself to see "bad" and "arse" as good things.

*sips tea*

Even so, I wouldn't rate Robau or Sisko at the top. Kirk and Janeway for me. Jellico and Hunter-Pike just behind. I think Archer's gazelle speech manages to go all the way around awful to being really cool in an ironic sort of way.
 
Well, Robau wasn't on the screen long enough to really show his badassness one way or the other. I mean it takes longer to read his thread in Trek XI than it does to watch his entire role in the actual film.

For my money, Sisko is the most badass of all the Trek Captains.
Kirk would be second.
Janeway third, just because for a women, she really IS pretty badass.

The idea that Picard or Archer are 'badass' is laughable.
 
In terms of doing crazy stuff no one could get away with in real life (which seems to be what badassness means), there's a good case to be made that Janeway was actually more badass than Sisko. Unfortunately she did those things on a less cool show.
 
#1 Sisko (whe he dips his forehead you know you're in trouble)

#2 Janeway (has more balls than Archer, Picard & Kirk put together. Yes, she biologically has 7 balls. She keeps them in a jar on her night stand. 3 are Q's. 1 Chakotay's.)

#1,000,000+ Robau. You're trying to Chuck Norrisify him here, he was a total pantywaist. "You do all the hard work, I'll just fly the shuttle over to the Narada and get meaninglessly killed." "Oh alright then, if you insist Captain."

Agree. Crawling Worf's ass not once but 2x rocks

-Sisko
-Kirk

-Cain (nuBSG)
-Cain (old BSG)
-Sheridan (B5)
-Gideon (Crusade)
-Ransom (VOY)
-Han Solo
-Mal Reynolds
-Jellico
-McQueen (Space Above and Beyond)

Honorable Mention
-Ellis (Stargate Atlantis); Had badass potential
 
Sisko and Kirk were the badass Captains. Picard was not a badass, but he was good a captian. Janeway was not a badass, to me she was just heartless and evil.

I still have a tough time taking Gary Cole as a bad ass seriously.
