[QUOTE="jester47, post: 268192, member: 2238"] King Arthur was a pissant, in all the versions. He doesn't do Jack, from Chertian to Malory to Pyle to even Ms. repeat it ad nauseum MZB. Galahad is the ass kicker and name taker, he's all the good parts of all the nights rolled into one. James Bond and Drizzt are the same Character. Well Drizzt Books to James Bond Movies. Kirk is falls into the Buck Rogers, Flash Gordon archetype, Sparhawk is essentially dick tracy. Ok, whoever started this thing needs to give a criteria for hero... I take it that we are looking for the greatest hero. I would assume means that they are not simply a protagonist, or someone that has a keen tactical mind. A hero in this definintion would not be someone simply doing his job and being good at it (i.e. a lot of military leaders already named.)I would say that they are people with the balls to clearly do good and avoid the pitfalls that come with power. The greatest hero I would say is not insane. I assume that the sources are open to any media. Heroes cannot be national heroes as many national heroes are seen as criminals by other nations. Case in point: Che. Unilaterally they have to be accepted over political boundries or they are not GREATER heroes. The greatest hero: is recognised as such universally always tries to do the right thing wins most of the time must be mortal Aaron. [/QUOTE]
