Do you know any individuals that were badass or infamous in the past but are now completely forgotten?


I feel like decades ago, you hear about people coming up with crazy ideas or people who were badass at something and their legend was well known but for some reason their reputation did not make it to modern times.

Last year I went down YouTube 2000s music playlist. Holly gawd, most these bands are forgotten now. I miss the real counterculture though. Today is the complete opposite,conformity or die.
Lol yeah dude the counter culture brought to you by MTV and Pepsi. Just say your old dude. these kids nowadays rage way harder and are full blown FREAKS and weirdos.
 
Dan Quinn and the TFL guys.

At the tender age of 8 Dan was handcuffed to a tree by his despicable uncle Fred Riva where he was left to hang like Jesus on the cross for 4 and 1/2 hours

- Fast forward to high school where Dan became a legend on the football field by running down black guys from behind but despite this he thought he was ugly and was mercilessness teased for having a small penis even though he explained that he is a grower not a shower

- In the mid 1980's, after a dispute with his high school assistant coach Mike Kartz, Dan was ordering food at Juanitas when 4 goons sent by Mike Krartz to fuck Dan up entered the restaurant and tried to flex on Dan, Dan let his hands fly with a quickness and knocked all four of them out in succession before some asshole from New York tried to step in but soon became the 5th knockout victim

- Also present on that fateful day at Juanitas was Mark Bugaloo who witnessed Dan knock those 5 guys out and used his enraged image as the inspiration for the 'Bad Boy" fight logo
 
there was that one greek or roman who burnt down a city or a temple many many years ago, but i think it was said that his name was not to be spoken. it became forbidden and eventually everyone forgot about him.

Bass Reeves is a true bad ass

From the summary of his biography

"Born into slavery, Bass Reeves became the most successful US Marshal of the Wild West.
Many "heroic lawmen" of the Wild West, familiar to us through television and film, were actually violent scoundrels and outlaws themselves. But of all the sheriffs of the frontier, one man stands out as a true hero: Bass Reeves.

He was the most successful Federal Marshal in the US in his day. True to the mythical code of the West, he never drew his gun first. He brought hundreds of fugitives to justice, was shot at countless times, and never hit.

Bass Reeves was a black man, born into slavery. And though the laws of his country enslaved him and his mother, when he became a free man he served the law, with such courage and honor that he became a legend."

I'm watching a series on hulu that aired on the History Channel titled "Men who made America" or something like that. One of the men in the series is Cornelius "the Commodore" Vanderbilt who made his fortune with boats then the railways. He had a son that died in the Civil War. In the 1800s he was one of the richest men in America.
