@何楚尧 霸 (ba4), in Chinese is usually a derogatory term,such as 霸道 (ba4 dao4)means arbitrary;霸占 (ba4 zhan4), which means something or someone has been forcibly occupied by someone. 霸气(ba4 qi4), in English means arrogant or manly and can be a commendatory term or derogatory term.

霸气 : 《纽约时报》给予的霸气十足的广告词:“汽车有劳斯莱斯,冰淇淋有哈根达斯。”"New York Times" to the domineering full advertising words: "a Rolls-Royce automobile, a Häagen Dazs ice cream.

霸气 (derogatory term),他长得虽然漂亮,但是霸气的不得了。
