Epicness

I have compiled a list of the eight most epic people in fiction ever. "Epic" is a hard quality to judge, so I have thought long and hard. These are not in any particular order. Any one would likely equal another.

 

1. Chuck Norris. This is fairly self-explanatory. His reputation far precedes him. His legends are more or less what made me come up with this list in the first place. After all, he is not the only epic person in existence, only the most widely known. (Note that only his fictional self contains these qualities. His real self is probably not as exciting.)

 

2. Trainer Red. From Pokemon. This guy mops the floor with Team Rocket, ascends to Championhood, then goes to live on the very top of a mountain so dangerous that you need sixteen badges to enter. For THREE YEARS.

 

3. The Doctor. From Doctor Who, of course. Time-travelling alien who has saved the Universe on multiple occassions with nothing but a screwdriver, his intellect, and sometimes a companion. He has dealt with so many threats that I don't think anyone can keep track of them all.

 

4. Gaz. Invader Zim is a fun show, but we rarely see Gaz' true powers. The few times she's played the main role, she's shown to have the ability to alter reality just by being pissed off. One can only imagine what she's like when something decides to attack her.

 

5. Belgarion. Fantasy character from some of David Eddings' books. I'm pretty sure a lot of people won't have heard of him, but he deserves to be on this list. Long story short, he is the Godslayer, and commands a magic so strong that it's returned the dead to the living, cracked a continent in half, and could even write his name in the stars, if he wanted.

 

6. Dave Strider. From Homestuck. He is a time-traveller and a really cool dude. The guy finds his own corpse and barely breaks a sweat. Given the size of Homestuck, I could go on and on about his qualities, but to be frank? I don't want to.

 

7. Hayato Furinji. From "History's Strongest Disciple Kenichi." The guy is known as "the Invincible Superman." The guy is so awesome, he can chop down thick trees and blow up brick walls with a single finger. Granted that the other masters in his group can do this as well, but he's their leader.

 

8. Saxton Hale. From TF2's mythology. Taken from the TF2 Wiki:

"Notable achievements of Saxton Hale include:

  • Cutting his way out of primate hell.
  • Teaching his girl scout troupe, the 'Saxtonettes', a fire safety tip: grizzly bears burn.
  • Fighting off a lion while simultaneously having his hair cut.
  • Single handedly wiping out the Indonesian berzerker shark (and making it cry).
  • Inventing the ancient and mystical Jarate fighting style after kicking a chair across the room in a frustrated rage. His complete Jarate course includes Saxton Hale Jarate Pills, which triple the size of your kidneys, and Saxton Hale Pain Tonic, which completely masks the feeling of your internal organs shutting down.
  • Becoming the wealthiest man in the western hemisphere.
  • Blowing up the moon using an Apple product called the iBlewupthemoon."

 

So there you go. If you have any others that you think should be on this list, or if you think one of these people should not be on the list, let me know.
