Total Badasses: Arthas

Everybody hates Warcraft, or something - so i'll be brief. Arthas Menethil is an incredible badass. Here's why:


a) He's the Crown Prince of Lordaeron. Being the Crown prince of anywhere, is an awesome claim to fame.

b) He is a "Knight of the Silver Hand". Pow.

b2) This is all before he fell victim to the "taint of the scourge" - and became corrupted. Check this next part out.

c) He carries a fucken RUNEBLADE. The blade's name is "Frostmourne".

Total Badasses: Johnny Cage


Johnny Cage just oozes awesomeness. What a cool guy. Midway totally just took off Van Damme, and then tried to combine him with the "coolest stereotype of an american ever" for this character, but look at him! I'd totally see a Johnny Cage movie.

This attack he's doing here is called the "Shadow Kick" (pow!) and its one of his best special moves. Also he wears sunglasses.

He probably drives a "Corvette" or something. Badass.

Supergiants!

Whoa, check it out. This is what happens when you do your research AFTER posting:

"Supergiants are among the most massive stars. They typically have bolometric absolute magnitudes between -5 and -12. Supergiants can have masses from 10 to 70 solar masses and brightness from 30,000 up to hundreds of thousands times the solar (Earth's Sun) luminosity. They vary greatly in radii, usually from 30 to 500, or even in excess of 1000 solar radii."


Really fucking big stars. Cool.

..and they have the greatest name, ever. Except for the star classification that sits one step higher on the Hertzsprung-Russell diagram - "Hypergiants" (pow!).



...Space.

REAL Geomancers

A Geomancer, not only is an awesome addition to any fantasy squadron - but is actually a real thing. Geomancy... or "Earth Divination" (pow!) is the process of interpreting naturally occurring patterns & markings in soil, rocks and pebbles - usually after tossing them, and making astrological predictions based on the shapes that are formed on the ground. It was apparently pretty popular throughout Europe and Africa during the Middle Ages & Renaissance.

Imagine being at a party, and someone asking: "what do you do for a living?" and you answering "I'm a fucken Geomancer, man." Fuck yeah.
