The Great Hero Showdown (First Round Voting Results Up!)

114- Rorschach

My favorite character in Watchmen.
Rorschach is an extreme example of moral absolutism, who believes in an unalterable moral code that requires the strict and severe punishment of any infraction. His opposition to the evil of crime is contrasted with his total lack of empathy for criminals, whom he treats as non-human, and his disdain for conventional law, government, and the police, and conventional morality, being willing to torture or execute criminals in the pursuit of his aims. Rorschach is thus himself strangely inhuman and not entirely "good". His view of the world is in "black and white". There are no shades of gray - thus reflecting the properties of the mask that he wears.

 

[Melkor Lord Of ALL!]

It seems that we could have 256 heroeses at this rate.

 

[Jeremy Ackerman-Yost]

Oh, and who else doesn't like my Robin? He is from one of older movies.

Sorry about that, Melkor. For some reason that pic sent my fiancee and I into the giggles. It's probably not THAT bad, really.

115. Jack Bauer

From Wikipedia:

Bauer graduated with a bachelor's degree in English literature from UCLA, and a master's degree in criminology and law from UC Berkeley.

After finishing university, he worked as a Los Angeles Police Department SWAT team member, and in the U.S. Army's elite Delta Force. Apparently, Bauer also did fieldwork for the Central Intelligence Agency before being seconded to its domestic branch, the Counter Terrorist Unit.

Bauer held the position of Director of CTU Los Angeles during the attempted assassination of President (then Senator) David Palmer. Eighteen months later, Bauer was called back to duty by President Palmer to help CTU stop a terrorist group known as Second Wave from detonating a nuclear bomb in Los Angeles. Jack was appointed Director of Field Operations by new CTU Los Angeles Director Tony Almeida.

Just as an FYI -- I added a quote for Sethra, and a picture for Wes (from Angel).

Xavier is considered one of the most powerful mutants on Earth due to his psionic powers. Xavier can read, control, and influence human minds, and cast illusions. He can also detect the presence of other mutants. A natural genius, he is also a leading authority on genetics, mutation, and psionic powers, has considerable expertise in other life sciences, and is highly talented in creating equipment for utilizing and enhancing psionic powers. He is 6 feet tall, weighs 185 pounds, has brown eyes, and his hair was originally blond.

Xavier has devoted his life to helping mutants learn to live with their powers, and to helping mutants and normal humans coexist peacefully and without fear of one another.

#118 - Ash - Army of Darkness

He didn't want to be there. He had an attitude and let everyone know it. But, in the end, he did what was right and saved the castle from certain death. And he's just so damned cool.

"Hail to the king, baby."
