Who do you think the top 5 badasses are right now and why you say so.
Here's mine.
5. Hiro - time/space travelling is cool but he has no control of it at times especially time travelling. I wish he would use more his ability to slow/stop time coz I think that's more useful than time travel.
4. Peter Petrelli - he is the most promising hero but then again he cannot control his absorbed power very well. The manifestation of the power he absorbed seems to happen randomly for him. We know what he has absorbed better than he does :).
3. Sylar - he has acquired abilities that we don't know of yet, only he, himself, knows his arsenal and has a better grip on when and how to use them as well. He is also conciously looking for more powerful abilities with the intent of being the strongest one of all, figuratively.
2. Matt Parkman- he surpassed his dad's ability in a short time and it seems his power is also advancing faster and he is also quick in figuring out how to use them. Trapping someone in his/her own worst nightmare is very debilitating as it will put you in an endless coma state.
1. The Haitian- the only hero we know so far that can disable all the others' power when he wants to coupled with the ability to erase memory. Now if he can also put false memory in (maybe he can but we haven't seen him use it yet) then he is really the badass hero ever.
