Character: Barney Ross, mercenary with unquenchable thrist for honor. (Not the Rabbinical student-turned-boxer from the 1930s.)
Age: Stallone turned 64 just before The Expendables was released, 14 years after becoming elegable for AARP.
Badassery: Something in that tattoo ink preserved the muscle, testosterone and overall heroism of Stallone's Ross. Alas, it did nothing to help with those awful zingers.
