[drothgery]

1. Corwin of Amber (Roger Zelany's Amber novels). Continue my quest to knock off Conan.
2. Batman (Batman comics, Batman movies).
3. Sherlock Holmes. Don't know much about Marvel; minor comic characters don't beat Sherlock.
4. Captain James T. Kirk (Star Trek). Horror movie characters don't beat Kirk.
5. Captain Jean-Luc Picard (Star Trek: The Next Generation). And folk heroes don't beat Picard.
6. Luke Skywalker (Star Wars). Luke gets a bye here.
7. Buffy Summers (Buffy the Vampire Slayer). She saved the world a lot.
8. Spider-Man (comics, movies, TV shows)
9. Indiana Jones (Indiana Jones movies)
10. Superman
11. Gandalf the Grey
12. John Sheridan (Babylon 5). Not a big B5 fan, just don't like the Hulk.
13. King Arthur (mythology, various novels). Arthur gets to be the lone mythological figure I vote for this round.
14. Samwise Gamgee (Lord of the Rings). Movie Sam much more interesting than movie RoboCop
15. Atticus Finch (To Kill a Mockingbird). Hardest call in this round. But I almost always vote for the paladin over the fighter.
16. James Bond (movies, Ian Fleming's stories). No contest.
