Recoil

This is something I have been discussing with my brother and his wife over the last couple years, and I figure, after reading the May 2nd 24 thread, that its time to bring this into the public forum to vote on.
For the longest time I thought it was Jack Bauer, hands down from a strictly ass-kicking standpoint. But upon further analysis, Jack Bristow took the lead with some events in the last couple seasons, and his cold detached demeanor. Here are some points for each:
1) Bauer
* The obvious May 2nd episode of this season, he thanks Paul for saving his life, only to pull a gun on the doctors 45min later and order them to let Paul die and save the Chinese dude who knew the info about Marwan. Cold man, just cold.
* Season 2's premier. He calls in that mob witness and shoots him dead in the conference room, then procedes to tell Mason to go and get a saw so he can cut the guys head off...uttering a comment about people like him wanting results but not willing to get their hands dirty.
* Put more than a few extra rounds into Victor Drazen.
* Put more than a few extra rounds into Nina Meyer.
* Shot that weasel of a Division boss in the back of the head at the whim of the Season 3 terrorist, because it was for "the greater good."
* Didn't hesitate a single bit to chop off his partners arm at the end of Season 3 to save his life and prevent bad things from happening.
I am sure there are many more than this, but those come to the top of my mind.
2) Bristow
* In many instances has been a cold and detached assassian.
* Killed his ex-wife.
* My favorite: Interrogated a prisoner who knew information that could save his daughter's life by putting a plastic bag over his head and letting him suffocate, then bringing him back to life with CPR and a Difibulator. He told the guy he could keep killing him over and over again until he told him what he needed to know. Sweet!
* Was sent to kill a rouge who he helped train. Upon meeting back up with the rouge, he welcomed Jack with honor, told him what an inspiration he was. Introduced him to his wife, who told him how much her husband talks about Jack. Invited him to have dinner with him and his wife that night in his honor. Took Jack into his private study where there were pictures of the 2 of them serving together. Just when you think its going to be a tear-jerker reunion and Jack would falter and not kill him, he coldly and quietly grabs him from behind and strangles him with his wife in the next room.
* Has done more illegal kidnappings in order to obtain information than you can shake a stick at.
* Has used various torture methods on said captives throughout the last several seasons.
* Never shows emotion no matter if he is killing you, saving you, or torturing you.
His list goes on too, but those are the main ones I can think of.
So, who do you vote as the Baddest Ass Jack of All Time?
