To be fair, Chuck had a little bit of help to get on this list. When a government program installed to your brain has the power to instantly download any form of martial arts or weapons training known to man, it's kind of inevitable. Chuck was just your run of the mill customer service representative, doomed to spend his life repairing computers at the Buy More (a sly nod to Best Buy) for minimum wage, until an old college roommate sent him the Intersect in an email. All of a sudden, he finds himself a CIA asset, able to "flash" on potential targets whenever he sees them. His abilities only grow from there, eventually getting an upgrade that would turn his body into a lethal weapon. And not to overegg the guy, but he could take care of himself pretty well even when the Intersect was no longer in the picture. Yes, he loves Tron and spent an unhealthy amount of time creating his own text-based computer game a la Zork. No, you probably still shouldn't cross him.
