I need a hero

I was playing with slide a little while back and made this little collection of some of my favorite pop culture "heroes".

It's no secret I'm a sci-fi junkie. So, it's probably no big surprise that almost all of these characters are from that genre. I may be biased, but I think sci-fi/fantasy movies and shows almost always have the best characters - good and bad. Hmmm, maybe I'll make a villians list next. ;)

Who are your favorite pop culture "good guys"?

    Right now my favorite would have to be STEFAN on Vampire Diaries. He's hot. And really 27, so it doesn't make me TO much of a cougar! :)

    I like Dr. Horrible as much as the next guy, but a hero?

    As for me, Frank Castle (The Punisher).

    YEO: Ooooh, I do like Bourne. And Bond, too.

    Shelle: I love vamps, in general, but I've never seen that show. I'll have to take your word for it. :)

    DGB: That reminds me, I totally forgot Scooby and Shaggy.

    SFD: I hesitated before adding him. But, I stand by the decision. (And not just because I like looking at NPH.) If I change "hero" to "protagonist", does that work better?

    Have you seen the new(ish) Punisher movie? Was it good? I never saw it.

    'Course if you want to go all comic-booky, my list would get a lot longer. ;)
