List of character achetypes (classes) in popular culture

[FireLance]

I've always pegged Captain Carrot Ironfoundersson of the Discworld as a paladin (in terms of behavior, if not actual mechanics), but ever since 4e, think he is better represented as a really, really Lawful Good warlord.

Druid
Thulsa Doom

Sorcerer
Doctor Strange

 

[amerigoV]

Paladin
Solomon Kane



Gnome Illusionist
Gandalf

(he basically cast Light, Disguise, and made up that whole Balrog thing to make himself look cooooooool. He never actually DID anything...)

 

[Doug McCrae]

Soulknife
Gambit

Isn't the soulknife based on Psylocke? I'd say Psylocke is to the soulknife what Aragorn is to the ranger.

Paladin (attitude, not powers)
Superman, 1940 onwards
Special Agent Dale Cooper, from Twin Peaks
The Lone Ranger

Isn't the soulknife based on Psylocke? I'd say Psylocke is to the soulknife what Aragorn is to the ranger.

Most definitely. One of D&D's most blatant and shameless rip-offs.

 

[blargney the second]

Sure, Psylocke works too.

I went with Gambit because in my head, the Throw Soulknife ability looks a lot like his expolodey card trick.

 

[Loonook]

Really, when I think Paladin, I think Michael Carpenter from The Dresden Files...

Will update the list when the pain goes away and I get better input (yay for trying to type myself )

Slainte,

-Loonook.

 

[Mercutio01]

For Paladin, one guy I don't think of is Paladin, from "Have Gun, Will Travel." He's more like a fighter.

Scout
Legolas (movie version, at least)

Cleric
Witch-King of Angmar
