[Wombat]

1. Conan the Cimmerian -- better than a robot
2. Beowulf -- Batman has cool toys, but Beowulf relies on himself, which is FAR more heroic!
3. Captain Marvel -- I'll take the better costume and acting...
4. The Shadow -- He is just so much cooler
5. Robin Hood -- a bad video game versus a true hero? Get real...
6. Sir Lancelot -- bye bye Wormy...
7. Buffy Summers -- only be default. Buffy I am bored with but the wiring failure name annoys me intensely
8. Spider-Man -- spidey has to juggle so much more!
9. Indiana Jones -- very, VERY tough call! In the end, I'll go with Indie
10. Frodo Baggins -- Frodo is simply an individual; Superman has so many powers he is boring
11. Gandalf the Grey -- this is not even a contest...
12. Hellboy -- see #11
13. King Arthur -- Vimes has a lot going for him, but Arthur is my mythological touchstone
14. Samwise Gamgee -- Samwise had to do more with less
15. The Phantom -- way cooler than Han
16. remove them both. ych
17. remove them both
18. Wolverine -- neither is a fave rave, but Logan has some chops
19. Sherlock Holmes -- Let's see ... a major literary figure who is known throughout the world or a hack, flash-in-the-pan bit of bad acting? Decisions, decisions...
20. Maui -- Oh, I love Kirk, but Maui is MAUI!
21. CuChulainn -- on the other hand, Picard just doesn't make it
22. The Doctor -- At best Ash is an ambiguous hero; The Doctor has worked through time and space
23. Flash Gordon -- because he is far more believable
24. remove 'em both
25. Thor -- but ONLY as the god!
26. Odysseus -- riiiight ... Dentarthurdent could even try to face the man of many twistings?
27. Don Quixote -- way cooler
28. The Hulk -- The Hulk is one-dimensional, but Spike isn't even a hero, he's a bad guy
29. The Tick -- oh KEEN!
30. drop 'em both
31. Atticus Finch -- the bravest hero on this list!
32. Inigo Montoya -- has more panache than Bond
