And the Marvel Cinematic Universe (Nick Fury).

He has an Oscar, a BAFTA, A Golden Globe and a Screen Actor's Guild award.

And yes, these ARE all impressive, several of being considered a badass.  But the most Badassy-est reason for him to be badass is the following: 

Yep.  That right there friends....he defines badass.

 Badass Birthday

In 1976, in South Carolina, Chadwick Boseman was born. 

He played several important roles including Thurgood Marshall, Jackie Robinson, James Brown and of course the groundbreaking Black Panther in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.   Along the way, he received a Screen Actors Guild award, a Golden Globe award and an Academy Award Nomination. 

And all that IS impressive.  But what makes him a badass is the fact the while playing Black Panther and all the physical activity involved in that, he was privately battling colon cancer. 

Sadly, he passed in 2020 and the young age of just 44.
