There are some seriously hardcore dudes on this list: Badassery: Who is history's greatest badass, and why? - Quora

But I think this is probably the most hardcore:

"...after 12 hours of continual pain, Ramírez sat down on a bench and drank three small glasses of hard liquor. She then used a 15 centimetres kitchen knife to cut open her abdomen in a total of three attempts... After operating on herself for an hour, she reached inside her uterus and pulled out her baby boy. She then severed the umbilical cord with a pair of scissors and became unconscious. She used clothes to bandage her wound after regaining consciousness..."
 


Tsutomu Yamaguchi for surviving not one but two atom bombs.

From Wikipedia:

A resident of Nagasaki, Yamaguchi was in Hiroshima on business for his employer Mitsubishi Heavy Industries when the city was bombed at 8:15 am, on August 6, 1945. The following day, he returned to Nagasaki and, despite his wounds, also returned to work on August 9, the day of the second atomic bombing. In 1957, he was recognized as a hibakusha (explosion-affected person) of the Nagasaki bombing, but it was not until March 24, 2009 that the government of Japan officially recognized his presence in Hiroshima three days earlier. He died of stomach cancer on January 4, 2010 at the age of 93.
 
Ask Osama bin Laden and the 22 out of 30 top Al-Qaeda leaders who’ve been taken off the field whether I engage in appeasement,” President Obama

Some people would say Peace Prize winner Obama is history's biggest badass. He is just waiting until WW3 is well underway too claim his prize.

Well you don't notch 26 kills by being Slowpoke Rodriguez. When both men hit ten paces, turned, and fired, Charles Dickinson blasted a shot that drilled Andrew Jackson square in the chest. Jackson looked down at the gaping gunshot wound, touched it, licked his finger like Bruce Lee in Enter the Dragon and then shot this fucker right in his bitch throat, killing him on the spot.

The shot Jackson received in that duel hit so close to his heart that it could never be removed, due to the high probability that the surgery would puncture his aorta. It is said that as a result of all the duels he fought during his life, Jackson's entire body rattled "like a bag of marbles". He was also known to randomly go into a violent coughing fit and hack up blood, which is kind of cool in an Exorcist sort of way. Badass of the Week: Andrew Jackson
 
Surprised no one mentioned this guy:
Jack Churchill - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(1906–1996), a British World War II soldier who fought armed with a longbow, arrows and a claymore

And then from the German side, you had a shitton of unsurpassed fighter pilots:

And then there's this Finnish sniper with 505 confirmed kills, who got half his face blown off:
Simo Häyhä - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

One last crazy ass who fought for the Finns, the Nazis, then US Special Forces (guess he really didn't like communists lol)
