Me? I'm Handsome Jack. Hero of Pandora, Savior of Elpis, President of Hyperion, Slayer of Vault Monsters...basically the coolest guy you'll ever meet!

And that's why they're called Handsome Cats.

They're not exactly badass, but you level'em up and they poop money every day.

[Oh, this kid has it right. That's a Pokemon catching philosophy after Jack's own heart. Hell, he's literally paying trainers to catch him Pokemon, the specification for which is simply 'badass'.]
