Badass: The Birth Of A Legend

Badass: The Birth Of A Legend

Synopsis

Since the beginning of human history people have created myths, tall tales, and super and anti-heroes -- stories of men and women who embarked on intrepid adventures, performed extraordinary feats of unparalleled awesomeness, and overcame all odds to violently smite their foes. In ′Badass:The Birth of a Legend′ , Ben Thompson compiles all of these fantastical tales from the beginning of time to today and tells them in the completely over-the-top manner in which they were intended. Whether it′s Michael, the Archangel who defeated Satan, or the super-punching villain, Ivan Drago, whose epic battle with Rocky Balboa will be forever immortalized on the silver screen, these timeless legends are so totally insane they′ll blow your hair to the back of the auditorium and leave you wondering what the heck just happened. ′Badass:The Birth of a Legend′ also profiles: Rama (half-god warrior who rescued his wife by killing a giant monster) Samson (Biblical strongman) Beowulf (hero who slaughtered Grendel and his mother) Bradamante (medieval Italian warrior princess) Dirty Harry Callahan (Clint Eastwood′s iconic tough-guy cop) The Joker (crazy evil psychotic clown who torments Gotham City) Medea (tragic Greek princess who saved the Argonauts then completely lost it) Moby Dick (carnivorous white whale who kills all who attempt to hunt him down) Frankenstein′s Monster (heartless serial killer who dedicates his life to annihilating his creator) The Predator (badass movie monster equipped with awesome sci-fi hardware) From sex-crazed gods to ravenous monsters, Ben Thompson brings these legendary titans to life in another tale of adventure, bloodlust, and unrelenting badassitude.
