Greatest Hero of All Time (Preliminary Research before Poll)

[Valicor]

after the sucsess/disaster of my last thread greatest Villian off all time.

I am doign alittle preliminary name gathering, before, I open my next poll.

Over the eon's many great mages raise their hand and shape the face fo continents, many warriors lead campaigns that change the balance of power on a continent. These are but a few of the many acomplishment's of the greatest hero's of all time.

Basially before I start the voteing poll I figure, i'l ask for a list of about 20-30 greatest hero's of all time to vote from.

Let this thread be filled with the names of many hero's a place that will rival the Halls of Valhalla.

Edit: Please allow only one vote- the results get a little odd when it is more. And "greatest" tends to lend itself to one individual.
