The 45 Toughest Movie Characters of All Time (Popular Mechanics)

When you hear the word "tough," what comes to mind? Physical prowess and strength? Strength of character and mental fortitude? Or something else? Whatever it may be, toughness in a movie character has one characteristic that stands out above all else: you know it when you see it. It's in the way a person carries themselves, or, in this instance, the way a character is framed, how a score is composed around them, and how they jump right in to face seemingly insurmountable odds without hesitation.
Whether it be a total lack of fear, the assistance of superpowers, or an extremely fine-tuned set of skills, the characters on this list are some of the biggest badasses we've ever seen. From animated movies, to sci-fi thrillers, to films inspired by real events and people, these are the toughest movie characters of all time.
