In my opinion without a doubt he is. There is really only Jez Quigley who can contend with him. He exudes fear.

He is without doubt the most aggressively macho and disturbingly intimidating hardman on British TV since Mr Humphries in Are You Being Served?

I expected him at one point to say to his henchman, in the style of Larry Grayson, 'Shut that door'.

Well, a gang consisting of a camp Liam Gallagher, Worzel Gummidge and Vicky Pollard would be quite scary, in a kind of whooh, messing-with-your-head way.

Maybe that's what they're going for

Yeah, something like stumbling upon the folks from Deliverance (though they were scary!)

Not even close. One of the worst actors we've seen on the show and laughably bad as a hardman.

The only thing hard is in his pants when he's looking at Sarah Platt.

He is absolutely terrifying. I have been having the same nightmares since his first episode.

I'm always in my local pub and Callum is looking at me with his "scary" eyes. I start to shake when I realise his two "heavies" Gemma and Macca are with him. After belting out his version of "Proud Mary" on the karaoke machine, Callum orders me to take his gear. He gradually reaches inside his coat pocket and I ask him how strong the stuff is. He then reveals a packet of Haribo sweets and that's when I wake up. Sweating.

I'd be more intimidated by the Tweenies than Callum and his 'heavies'. I'm sure those 2 have been on Jezza Kyle.

There's also Nick and David as hard men! Though maybe David has lost his hard man status since the Jeremy Kyle trio led by Callum kidnapped him. Michael as a burglar was just stupid looking at him now. I do know someone like Callum though, who has followers who will go along with just about anything for free drugs.

Even Roy Cropper has been more brutal to Gary Windass when he robbed him in the cafe than this hardman drug pusher Callum even after David tried to plant coke on him to frame him!

Roy Cropper more violent than Callum - you have to laugh!

I assume the OP is having a laugh? He isn't the slightest bit scary, a joke character if I'm honest. This week's episodes have been some of the worst in memory.
