Better actor than 4/5 of the previous cast, underwent this thing called character development, and while he could get mary sueish at times, he never reached Billy "I built a flying car using an old junker and my hubbleflux neutron hyper-capacitor at home" Cranston levels.

"Badass" works in different ways.
A team full of Carters is different than a team full of just overall "Cool" characters. Bruce Lee and Batman are both badass, but they're not the same person. They won't make the same choices, they don't fight the same way, they don't do the same things. The problem is that your declaration of a team of badasses relies solely on everyone acting in the same manner. Billy rides on nostalgia, not ability, skill, or intelligence, but nostalgia. Nothing more. For other categories, there are strong characters, popular characters, underdogs, etc, that could go either way. It's rather reoccurring for someone to declare "I know how things will turn out" and then the winner of the round proves to be quite the opposite in these threads. I just have a problem with how it went from a tournament to find the ultimate team,to a contest to see who people like the most.Some votes are based on memory,some on popularity.Others on personality and strengths.I think the latter is what we need to use to vote on.That's why we have the wiki links one the first pages,to see how they'd match up power wise.

But you can't look at things from a pure power perspective, though.
Characters don't operate like robots. They fight in different ways, and that leads to them using their abilities in different manners. Connor has super speed, for example. From a strict power standpoint, that's a huge bonus. From a character standpoint, it doesn't weigh in at all, as he essentially never used them, outside of two or three fights, all unmorphed.

I know that's only one example, but it shows him taking a more limited power set and making use of what he has. I really can't think of what Madison ever did in a fight beyond fire lasers.

Has anyone mentioned the fact that Flynn was a policeman, firefighter, and general of a tribe of native New Zealandamericans, in addition to being one of the few Power Rangers to say the word "die"?

Flynn unsurprisingly moves on. Next round up shortly.
