85. Esmerelda "Granny" Weatherwax

weatherwax2.jpg


Nanny Ogg: "How did you do that?"
Granny: "Simple. He knows you wouldn't make his daft head explode."
Nanny: "Well, I know you wouldn't, too."
Granny: "No you don't. You just know I ain't done it up to now."


Granny Weatherwax... maybe the best witch the world has seen so far (and no one will dare to doubt that, at least as long as Granny is around). Hard as steel and sharp as a razor blade, she is a very good witch - which means that she can be so bad that even wizards, mad kings, elf queens and blood sucking vampires (aside your usual bears, bandits and what else you can find in her homeland Lancre) better think twice about crossing her path...
Other witches use magic, candles, summonings, charms and a lot of mumbo-jumbo... Granny Weatherwax uses brain... and not only hers. She knows the minds of people - often enough better as themself, and she has mastered the art of 'borrowing' beyond imagination... she borrows the bodies of pigeons and bears, even of whole hives of bees... you never know who's watching you when you are in Lancre.
There have to be good witches and bad witches - Granny Weatherwax is a bad witch that has to be good because she knows not only the difference between right and left but also between right and wrong. Having her as your ally is a good thing, because it means she won't be your enemy... at least most of the time. Having her as your enemy... well, there might be fates worse than that, but thus far no one has found out what they are.
Others may give you what you want - Granny Weatherwax gives you what you need.

86 Godzilla

Okay so the big iguana may be a mindless beast of destruction but after fighting of the Smog Monster, Mothra, Gidorah and all the other BIG GIANT MONSTERS that plague Tokyo he's kind of earned his Hero status

(he lost out as a Villain can he make it as a Hero:D)

87. Connor MacLeod of the Clan MacLeod (because Lobo Lurker would have done it)

43019.JPG


Biography: Connor MacLeod of the Clan MacLeod was born in the Scottish Highlands in 1536. He defeated the Kurgen and Kane, played by Mario van Peebles, and numerous other immortals after his head. Some were evil, some were not. He wasn't a bona fide hero until he let his clansman and student, Duncan MacLeod, have his head because he felt that only Duncan could have defeated the evil immortal that would have enslaved the world.

89. Ozymandias

ozymandias.jpg


From Watchmen (incredible spoilers):

[sblock]Ozymandias, once merely a supergenius crime-fighter, devised a scheme to pull the world back from the brink of nuclear war. By creating a fake Cthulhu-esque alien and having it appear in a seeming botched teleportation in New York (the resulting psychic shockwave of which killed hundreds of thousands), he united the world under the pretense of facing an alien threat. With a greater foe than each other, mankind put aside its hatreds and, with luck, would have allowed Ozymandias to guide them in the defeat of this alien foe.
[/sblock]


90. Rorschach

Rorschach.jpg


From Watchmen (more spoilers!):

[sblock]With roots as a hyper-violent and mentally unbalanced street vigilante, Rorschach uncovered the truth of Ozymandias's plot. His unflinching sense of justice and his incredible stamina allowed him to persevere through countless challenges, and even after his death he presented the only hope the world had of stopping the misguided benevolence of Ozymandias.[/sblock]
 

91. The Hulk

hulk.jpg


A man with a few self-esteem problems, afflicted with the radioactive/genetic curse that turns him giant, green, and powerful whenever he's angry.
 

92. The Blues Brothers

(hopefully an exception to the 'no groups' rule)

bluesbros.jpg


They're on a mission from God, to bring the soulful music of the blues to as many people as possible, and to save blues legend Cab Calloway's orphanage. Nothing will stop them: not rednecks, not the police, not Illinois Nazis, not even Carrie Fisher.

Vote for them, or they'll eat here every meal, of every day, until you accept.
 


94. Nolin Benholm

(from Piratecat's storyhour)

nolin.jpg


Nolin Benholm, the bard with a phoenix's soul. An unfortunate death early in his adventuring career (killed by inch-tall goblins) led to his soul being merged with that of a phoenix. Sarcastic and irreverent, his music could play the uneasy dead back down into their graves.

The group is packed and arrayed for travel when Nolin drags himself back to the tower early the next morning, after sleeping with the degenerate drow elf. He’s greeted by disapproving glances from half the group, amused snickers from the other half, and a steely glare from Malachite.

“Nolin?” asks Velendo in concern.

“Be there in a moment,” mumbles the bard hoarsely. “I need to wash.” With a steel brush, he thinks to himself.
