if he was tortured it would take away the way you think of him he wouldnt be a bad as spartan anymore
Uhm, what?
Being tortured doesn't make you less of a badass, for one. For two, he obviously survived the torture which makes him even more badass that he could withstand all that. Three, there are plenty of heroes in the U.S. Military who have been tortured and I have an immense amount of respect for them for going through it all. It's the complete opposite from what you're saying. If anything it makes them waaay more badass.
Yeah, torture in no way makes you less of a badass, if you survive to be rescued or break yourself out then that can make you even more of one.
Especially with those who just refuse to break under whatever torture they're under-going, which is exactly how I would see Chief, or any Spartan really, responding to it, refusal to break under any circumstances. And if they're a BAMF like Johnson they'll respond to their torturer with witty and sarcastic comments almost the whole while.
But yeah, being tortured certainly doesn't make you any less badass. In fact, sometimes it can make a normally not very badass character very badass. For example, in the TV show Firefly, at one point Mal and Wash are being brutally tortured and Wash isn't a fighter or anything really, he's just the pilot of the ship and in comparison to Mal is rather weak physically (he's certainly not cut out for torture), yet right after Wash is rescued, he goes right back with the rest of the ships crew on an armed assault on the bad guy's space station...and he's one of the ones leading the charge.
Or in Mal's case, he was already a badass, and he shows just how badass he is throughout the whole torture session, not only does he keep Wash from breaking, but even after he gets his ear cut off, temporarily killed, and shocked with electricity for several hours on end, he responds with sarcastic and biting remarks throughout the whole session. And then the minute he's free he starts beating on the guy who'd been torturing him!
