These are the most serious asskickers I could think off. Dante from devil may cry kicks some serious butt, slices and dices his enemies but he does it with style Viewtifull Joe is the king of melee combat and you can tell he really ENJOYS kicking the living shit out of cartooncharacters from hell. Sam is called 'serious' for a reason, he annihilates everything that is foolish enough to look at him the wrong way. And at last the Duke....hail to the king baby.
My favorite is Duke Nuke'em with Sam as a runner-up, a kickass character needs a kickass name and Joe and Dante don't deliver.
