Most notorious badass in history?

[Anomalocaris]

Saitō Musashibō Benkei, an 11th century japanese warrior monk who single handed defended castle draw bridge against attempt by 500 soldiers to storm it.  After half of the assault party perished against him, the attacking army decided to take him out with rains of arrows.   But even though he was hit by many arrows and looked like a porcupine, he remained standing on the draw bridge barring entry.  

Eventually the assault party gathered the courage to slowly approach the bridge again, but Benkai remained standing without any reaction.    it turns out he is already dead, but remained standing possibly due to cataleptic rigidity.
