Who do you think is the most badass character in the entire franchise?

Putting aside the player character, let's say Joshua, Marcus & Jacob, Father Elijah, and John Cassidy.
 
Frank Horrigan.

Joshua Graham

Lanius

Cheif Hanlon.
Did you know that Chief Hanlon was a sailor? He was born upon the tide, and with the sea he did abide, he sailed a schooner round the horn to mexico, he went aloft to furl the mainsail in a blow, and when the yard broke off they say that he got killed... But he is living still.
 
Raul Tejada
Because this charming sarcastic mexican cowboy ghoul have most tragedy backstory in NV, able to maintain your guns to make it last much longer, and always find something to mock you before and after gun down every single of your enemy for you.
 
Let's see, from the top of my head:
  • Randall Dean Clark
  • Father Elijah
  • Chief Hanlon
  • Both John and Rose of Sharon Cassidy
  • Marcus
  • Legate Lanius
  • Tycho (that Desert Ranger description oozes badass and it helps that he has decent gear)
 
Ulysses.

Fighting Evil and Tyrannies.

When not serving them.

Of course, the irony of Ulysses is he hates the Courier as despite being the person JUST AS BADASS as the Courier, he chose to do nothing with his life effectively.

The Vault Dweller was certainly badass but he traveled with a fairly large crew of people to back him up, including confirmed badasses like Tycho. He also notably was more of a trickster figure if we're to assume he made use of speech checks and the most intelligent story-based options for dealing with the Master's threat. Profoundly capable but less a murder-machine.

Ditto the Chosen One who mostly dealt with problems via speech and less about killing people. Indeed, his greatest accomplishment of killing Frank Horrigan is probably done by turning the turrets against him versus actual fighting.

The Lone Wanderer, as the name implies, is mostly doing this all by himself and possibly with Dogmeat. Violence is also almost always the option in the Capital Wasteland. Unlike the Vault Dweller, they also pretty much are given a "destroy the Enclave" mission single-handedly in the assault on Addam's Air Force Base.

Their adventures are also much-much lengthier thanks to DLC too and the fact Fallout 3 is basically combining Fallout 1 and Fallout 2.

The Courier is almost as badass but the majority of their opponents are (probably) Caesar's tribals versus Super Mutants and Powered Armored Enclave soldiers.

There's more to being a badass than being a pure murder machine. Besides, the first thing the Courier does is survive a gunshot to the head and then proceed to hunt down the man responsible. His actions decide the fate of nations.
