Editing Captain Titus (section)

==Reasons why Titus is such a Badass==
[[File:Inquisitor Titus.jpg|330px|right|thumb|Leandros was wrong]]
*He's a fucking Space Marine. What did you expect?
**He's a fucking Space Marine Captain. Of the greatest cha{{BLAM}}... of arguably one of the most esteemed Chapters.
*He hails from Terra, a well-policed area known as Miami.
*Women want him and men want to be him. Yeah baby!
*He was one of the VERY few Ultramarines characters prior to the 8th Edition rework that was multidimensional, not an arrogant ass, and a generally cool guy who cared about protecting others.
*He is one of very few, repeat, '''VERY''' few Ultramarines that <s>actually offs</s> gives the Codex Astartes proportionate importance. He states that the Codex is <s>just a set of rules and guidelines</s> a useful source of tactical and moral guidance, but should not be followed blindly, and how they choose to live by it is what makes them <s>Space Marines</s> Ultramarines.
**The irony is that [[Roboute Guilliman]] would love Titus and be pissed with the rest of the Chapter. Now that Robby's back, he'd probably want to talk to Titus, Grandpa Smurf being the kind of guy who reads debriefings to form his own opinion. Guilliman also would be able to see Titus <s>is lacking in the areas of teamwork, leadership and tactics</s> can be too reckless, so as a compromise with the Inquisition, he might reassign Titus to redeem himself in service to the [[Deathwatch]]. He may even be demoted to serve as leader of a [[Kill Team]].
**His interpretation of the Codex Astartes falls closer to that of the [[Raptors (Chapter)]], although the way that it is implemented relies on his own badassery.
*Unlike the majority of his Chapter, Titus actually improvises when dealing with the enemy, be it Ork or Chaos, and is willing to employ somewhat unorthodox tactics to get the job done.
**Examples: His solution to his Thunderhawk being unable to land safely due to ork gun batteries is to simply use jump packs and descend down to the Ork Kill Krooza (armed with nothing but his combat knife, his bolt pistol and his GIANT CERAMITE BALLS no less), and then blowing said krooza's bridge with its own dorsal gun battery (this tactic is similar to that favoured by the [[Angry Marines]]<s>,but with less collateral damage</s>.); When the Orks were trying to use a Titan-sized laser weapon hanging from a crane to get into a Forge, Titus' way to deal with this was, of course, to drop the thing on the Orks; When an Imperial Warlord Titan gets ready to go shoot the Chaos-controlled orbital spire, two [[Blight Drone|Blight Drones]] and Chaos psyker try to shut it down before it's ready. [[Awesome|Titus' solution is to surf the fucking Titan and kill them, without cover no less.]] 
***In short, Titus [[gets shit done]].
**Unlike [[Uriel Ventris]], Titus does this only when it is necessary. As opposed to trying to make some sort of point about the Codex Astartes.
*As said above, he killed thousands of enemies by himself and also with only Sidonus and Leandros to aid him. And a regiment of guardsmen. And a Titan. And later Imperial reinforcements from off-world.
*His reaction to a one-on-one challenge by a Daemon Prince? Body-tackle it off the edge of a kilometres-tall orbital spire and fight it while in free-fall, proceed to single-handedly beat the snot out of the partially daemonized Nemeroth.. and finally killing it by crushing the Daemon Prince's head ''with his bare hands while still in free-fall'' (unlike some cock-sure moron who got his body possessed by another Daemon Prince whose name is [[Ultramarines:The Movie|Severus]]. [[Warhammer 40,000: Fire_Warrior|No, not that one]].)
*He's voiced by '''MARK FUCKMOTHERING STRONG!!!!'''.
**At least in the first game; time will tell if Rollo can do him justice.
*He's nice to the Imperial Guard he meets, even the lowest ranking Guardsmen, which can't be said about most high-ranking Imperials. He is, in fact, nicer to Guardsmen than some of their own commanders.
*He is surprisingly humble, attributing his successes to the Emperor's will, seeing himself as simply being an instrument of that will. This is a refreshing contrast to the stereotype of Ultramarines taking their label as the "Imperium's favoured sons" for granted.
*He had the balls to stand up to the goddamn Inquisition, backed by four Black Templars, and even willingly gives himself up to them in order to save his friends and his Chapter. This is in stark contrast to Leandros, who betrayed his brother through his [[Matt Ward|ignorant (and selective) adherence to the Codex]].
*He kinda looks like your dad.
*He gives few to zero fucks about standard protocol when there is a job to be done.
*Show me anything that solos groups of 10+ plus Bloodletters.
**[[Eliphas|Eliphas the Inheritor]].
**[[Kaldor_Draigo|Kaldor Draigo]].
*His entire speech at the end of the game to Leandros is basically telling Matt Ward that he has failed as a writer.
**Several fans consider Titus to be the best balance between [[Matt Ward|Matt Ward's]] [[Lawful Stupid]] [[Spiritual Liege]] fan-wankery over the [[Codex Astartes]] and [[Graham McNeill|Graham McNeill's]] "the Codex Astartes is useless and cool Space Marines don't follow it" [[Chaotic Stupid]] [[Mary Sue]] special snowflake [[Uriel Ventris]].
*As of 7E, he has his own miniature model head alongside Sidonus (via [[Sternguard_Veteran|Sternguard]] squad).
**10E would release an actual Titus mini as part of a Space Marine board game.
[[File:Sternguard.jpg|200px|thumb|right|The minis in question. Our heroes are on the far right]].
*The future games starring him would originally have had him escape, become a renegade Astartes, go on a Jack Bauer killing spree across the galaxy in the name of the Emprah, and finally returning to head his ''own chapter'', presumably to beat some sense into Leandros and shame the Inquisition. Awesome.
**If he does become a Chapter Master, he will probably smack sense back into the rest of the Adeptus Astartes and, from there, the rest of the Imperium. Then mankind will steamroll the rest of the galaxy.
*Because the developers knew their audience, he's not a meaty slab of walking tank able to take any assault and come out unscathed, and on any difficulty above normal the game is genuinely challenging and requires [[Reasonable Marines|more strategy]] than simply wading in and killing everything. This is awesome for two reasons. The first is that it does the enemies of the Imperium full justice instead of just making them easily destroyable blood-juice-boxes, e.g. a large enough group of Bloodletters is easily capable of overpowering you if you don't fight them in the right way. The second is that enemies that require you to ''think'' to take down are about ten times more satisfying to fight. Not to mention you're reminded that these enemies you have to actually work to defeat are fought by the Imperial Guard, too. Balls of adamantium the size of universes.
