I was feeling like a badass

Being a badass means you're exceptional in every aspect. Although Urban Dictionary mentions its use related to males, I've seen it used for both sexes. (Check the first reference).
Example sentence:

"I was feeling like a badass superhero after finishing my kickboxing class now."

actually, "like the world champion" might be better than "like a world champion", although "feeling like a champ", with "a", is used a lot too
