I'll have to check that show out, the 24 hour format just threw me off and put it low on my to-watch list.

That show is built for streaming. The thing is Season 1 is pretty realistic and not very high budget. Jack spends more time running away from situations rather than shooting his way out of situations. Season 2 he becomes the man we all love, the guy that will literally kill you if you get in his way.

Emma Peel (as a character. the name is kinda bad because it means: female character that appeals to MEN - so: Men - Appeal, M-Appeal.)

Damn you included so many that I somehow forgot about, like Reacher, Kovacs, and Vane

not counting anime, because that list would be dominated by the likes of Jotaro, Sasuke, Mazinger, Captain Harlock and many other prime examples of coolness, with Kenshiro sitting at the top on a giant throne made by the countless skulls he broke

​

Jack Bauer from 24 reached olympian peaks of badassness, I don't think many would even come close to what he did. Then

Mike Ehrmantraut, BB/BCS. Scariest, smartest old man ever

Robert McCall, The Equalizer. Not as old, but if he told you he'd throw you out of a window, he'd throw you out of a window; and your cat

Gannicus from Spartacus. To give Romans a mention, Crassus was equally badass (not as skilled, but who is)

Sandor Clegane from GOT

Colonel Carrillo from Narcos. Like holy shit
