Go to a place like Imageshack, and it will let you upload a picture, then give you the code to link it into a forum or bboard or whatnot.

Endur if you're gonna nominate I need numbers. Also Deimurge mind explaining how G-Zilla is an anti-hero? He strikes me as misunderstood monster.

I don't see any difference between "misunderstood monster" and "anti-hero". In his rampages he kills countless people, but we love him anyway. And he's defended humanity a number of times from other giant monsters. He has heroic qualities, but isn't really a hero.

Demiurge out.

demiurge, would you mind resizing that Godzilla pic? It hurts my 1024x768 screen.

No problem. I thought that pic was pushing the size limit...

22. Batman (especially the Batman from Frank Miller)

23. Odysseus (Mythology)

24. Indiana Jones (movies)

Hmm... this brings us back to the clarification point, I think. I wouldn't personally regard either of these two characters as antiheroes, but as heroes. Odysseus is the classic model for the heroic journey, in fact. I could see where he might fit the bill (in respect to his fall from the grace of the gods), but I can't see where Indy has any sort of non-heroic qualities at all.
