Scott Bakula is an actor on TV and on the stage.  He's played many roles and in fact earned a Tony nomination for his work on Broadway.   But he's here cause of his starring roles in two different badass TV shows: Quantum Leap and Star Trek Enterprise.    Any actor who can play roles in two different areas of SciFi fandom certainly qualifies for a badass.

On Earth-2, during World War II, there was a member of the Justice Society named Dr. Mid-Nite.  By the mid-80s, he had long retired and he passed the name to his assistant Beth Chapel.  She worked with Infinity Inc for a while, but after a few years she to retired.  Later then, another doctor named Pieter Cross took up the mantle. 

And here, by NeverKnew_Lane we have Dr. Mid-Nite II and below her, Dr. Mid-Nite III.

Ursula von der Leyan is a well-known German politician.   She has held significant positions in the German Federal government and was the first female German defense minister.  She is also the first female President Of the European Commission and remains so currently. 

Surely, being a woman leading the macho world of European politics has got to make one a badass.

 Hispanic Heroes Month


Defensor

Gabriel Carlos Dantés Sepúlveda, a construction worker from Buenos Aires, was working underground when he discovered a suit of armor and shield made of vibranium.  He put it on and became the hero Defensor.  The armor bestows no super powers, but it does give him heightened strength and durability, and the shield provides energy absorption and can be thrown as a weapon. 

The character was created for the Contest of Champions mini-series and he had very few, if any, appearances afterwards, until he was killed by the villain Zeitgeist.

This is the last panel, as drawn by longtime JLA artist Dick Dillon,  from Justice League Of America #161 in 1978, when the mystic Zatanna officially joined the team. 


It shows all the members of the League at that time: Green Arrow, Green Lantern, Hawkman, Red Tornado, Hawkwoman, Black Canary, Zatanna, Wonder Woman, Aquaman, Superman, The Atom (on his shoulder), Batman, Elongated Man and The Flash. 

The Martian Manhunter had left the team years before and Firestorm was not yet a member, and that accounts for the entire 16 members.
