The wow factor of "Back from the Future" should depend on when the player got it

Wow badge would be a level 50 with only the tankbuster and finder defeat badges at which point i go "Wow how do i politely leave this team"
Or perhaps the lvl 37 i met who only had the Trill Seeker exploration badge, really how hard is it at lvl 37 to step into the City hall and onto its roof to triple your exploration badges at least it would make people think you had moved more than 100 ft through the city.
Back from the future (Recently ofc as it is harder to get now then before.)
Master of Recluses Strikeforce (Yet to get it myself so wow)
"Liberator" Few have it and not possible until the Dev's make the Cathedral of Pain. So that would be the most WOW factor.
The badges that makes me got "envious" is the "5'th column Gladiator" (for reasons you may guess).
Leader, Empath and Immortal are three others (Gogo fellow Badger).
Well thats the list for now.

My Excel Badge tool
Megalomaniac - its not one you see on everyone, and I myself get loads of comments about it on screamer himself as its one of the less sought after Accolades redside so anyone with it always gets a subtle nod from me. Plus the badge itself looks awesome.
I don't really think there's ANY badge villain side that makes me go WOOOhhh.
Master of.... Loads have it after joining a team that did everything for them, but it does go to show that you know the game and have enough friends/haven't (censored) someone off.
Weatherman is still a pain, but even if I hae it on several alts, I sort of more go... jeeez, is he stupid or what?
Invention badges pretty much same thing, but it goes to show dedication when you waste that much inf on badges.
Apart from that I think it's the veteran's, general high badge count, the rikti stuff accolade, some of the event badges (gold medal ski races takes some skill and a bunch of kins), but really...
...what's the point anymore?

Don't think theres a badge I look for on other chars that makes me go wow, but back when the game 1st started when i got the ghost ship badge that made me go wow, it was bigger than the rest and made my badge list look nice 
Too many 50's to list here's a few you may know.
Slazenger, Area51, Area53, Area54, Erruption, Mind Plague, Thresher, Sheath, Broadside, Debt
Badges that make me go wow are the effing 60 month vet badges!
You just think "Jesus Christ, how long have they been playing this!"

It was rhetorical
I don't look at people's badges and I doubt any would make me go wow...... maybe if I saw someone with Bug Hunter, but nah, that's it.
If I ever get Popular I'm going to go "phew" but not wow....... boredom prevents me at this time, but next DXP I'll be back working on it again

Its hard to say, I wouldnt say theres a particular "wow" badge that has stopped me in my tracks.
What I do like however mirrors starscreamers comment, its the fact that there are badges out there which perfectly fit character concepts.
Such as "destroyer of strength" ( sstf *ruuladak the strong* ) for Warscythe, "heat seeker" ( arachnos flyer in stf )for my blaster Stryke - though i'd love "nuclear powered", im not sure if i have the patience any more to finish my invention badges with my current game time.
I simply now blast through TF's, arcs, run AV mishes etc and some of the badges are fun and truly feel like an accomplishment rather than a grind, such as "Justicar" ( when done the right way and not from the mental holiday day when all AV's were running rampant in the zones)

I'd agree with Stryke.
The one badge I need for my Ill/Emp Troller is Clockstopper, it suits him so well! The Magnificent Magnus Malachi Clockstopper
The 6th debt badge
He will honor his words; he will definitely carry out his actions. What he promises he will fulfill. He does not care about his bodily self, putting his life and death aside to come forward for another's troubled besiegement. He does not boast about his ability, or shamelessly extol his own virtues. - Sima Qian.
I guess folks with the 1st aniversery badge is not as common now for folk to have that as most prob playing lot of alts but is nice to see chars that were about that many moons ago.

The 6th debt badge? That's easy...
Come to think of it, I *might* go "woooh" if I see anyone with the last inf badge, not because I'm impressed though...
...just think of it, someone would've played one and the same alt for so much, for so long, griiiinding inf. That would be sort of sad really...
I see your point sing, *if* the purpose of the grinding has been for that one badge, then maybe yes, however if they have simply just played that toon for long enough to earn the badge irregardless then it would be unfair to brand them as sad...some folks dont have altitis and simply love the singular toon concept.

Badges? We don't need no stinking badges!
However, it turned out that Smith was not a time-travelling Terminator
I have a blaster which has the unbreakable badge. I don't think 10mil dmg non-farmed for a squishie is too bad.
Your right about the epic badges. I guess a toons with loads of vet and aniversary badges + the epic badges which fit them (immortal, empath etc). But other wise the epic badges are a bit "you farmed for how long to get that"
Button Masher is the one that makes me smile as it fits the way I play my mele toons perfectly.

I usually compare AT with badges to see what the person have done. I do like my GF's Kin/Dark defender. She got more damage taken badges than heal ones...

There are not many badges that make me go "wow".
Probably the only one is "Member of the Scorpion Clan" which unfortunately I do not have anymore since I deleted the only toon that had it. (Stupid altoholism. A real problem back in the days before additional character slots. )
Other than that I only go "wow" when I see high-level toons without badges that they should have got more or less automatically while levelling up... usually followed up by a quick one-star-rating and a "PL" added to the notes.
If it has eyes, you can blind it, if it has blood, you can make it bleed, if it has a mouth, you can make it scream.
Personally for me, 'City Traveler' - even though it's the U.S. spelling of the word 'Traveller'
For someone to have 5 years in any one game nowadays is something to be admired. (and no, that wasn't an attempt to blow my own trumpet).
I often get a lot of 'Wow's' when people see i've got 60 months under my belt.
