Greatest Fantasy Warriors?

[overgeeked]

Conan of course.

Since we’re also including historical figures in the fantasy list, Miyamoto Musashi.

Usagi Yojimbo.

Cutter from ElfQuest.

Captain America.

Zorro.

Captain Alatriste.

The Three Musketeers.

Baahubali.

The main characters of just about every Bollywood fantasy or historical action movie.

Have a look at Hinduism. There’s so many warriors to choose from. Arjuna from the Mahabharata would top any list.

If we’re adding modern to the fantasy list along with historical figures, then almost every character Ajay Devgn plays.

The boys from TMNT.

 

[Dioltach]

Obi-Wan Kenobi
Logen Nine-Fingers

 

[Richards]

Let's not forget John Carter, Warlord of Mars. And we could probably throw Tarzan onto the list as well.

Johnathan

 

[Richards]

And Spartacus is not on the list yet? I would not see it so!

Johnathan

 

[Ryujin]

Fionn mac Cumhaill
Heracles

 

[Twiggly the Gnome]

Sun Wukong
Zhu Bajie
Sha Wujing

 

[MGibster]

I'm going to make a humble suggestion. Just listing the names of a bunch of warriors isn't a lot of fun. What makes them the best warrior?

 

[Whizbang Dustyboots]

He defeated the greatest swordsman of his age, defeated a giant while unarmed and successfully went in against a Sicilian with death on the line.

He also single-handedly defeated the Prince of Florin while mostly dead.

 

[Blue]

Some more obscure ones.

Fictional
Joscelin Verreuil (Jacquelin Carey's Kushiel books)
Sir Sparhawk (Edding)
Druss the Legend (David Gemmell's Legend)
Cerebus the Earth Pig

BTW, I see people putting in non-fantasy characters, is that allowed? If so, add:
Darrow au Andromedus (Pierce Brown's Red Rising books)

 

[Staffan]

Jen, aka Invincible Sword Goddess, for taking on a tavern full of seasoned warriors and defeating the lot of them without killing any of them. Not even the monk who eats meat instead of studying scripture.
Xena. A mighty princess, forged in the heat of battle in a time of ancient gods, warlords, and kings.
Buffy Summers, for standing against the forces of darkness.
Susan Ivanova, Commander. Daughter of Andrei and Sofie Ivanov. The Right Hand of Vengeance and the boot that's going to kick your sorry ass all the way back to Earth. Death Incarnate, and the last living thing that you are ever going to see.
