SCFI's #1 Hero

Captain Kirk usually was near the top of this list when naming some of SCIFI's most famous heros. I wonder if he still would top that list and if now who do you think would be on the top five list as 'heros' of scifi/fantasy? Han Solo? Kirk? Ripley? Termantor? Captain EO?

I made an av on this subject a while back: :D

No, Trek was been out of the pic ever since the end of TNG especially since the end of DS9 and TNG movies. You guys are right about Ford

Top 7 Heroes from whatever site reads something like this

1Indy(jumped the shark IMO)
2Bond
3Batman
4Spidey
5Rocky
6Wolverine
7Wonder Woman

Villains
1Joker
2Bates
3Magneto
4Gordon Gekko
5Nurse Ratched
6HAL 9000
7Vader

LOTR's Sauron probably replaces Vader since Lucas made Vader jumptheshark during those StarWars reboots

Terminator?...very shaded, once was evil, then came good, not sure if the T's are good guys or bad guys anymore

1. Darth Vader
2. Th Joker
3. Terminator (from the first movie)
4. Khan

Luke Skywalker has got to be the #1 hero.

But Spock is still sf/f's best character of all time.

Klaus
makes some good points in his av, tho. :D

Nope..do not agree with you. Twenty or Thirty years ago Spock may have topped Kirk...but no longer. Captain Kirk, in the here and now, IMO, because of Shatner's ability to remain relevant, is why KIRK has long since eclipsed spock..OHHHHHH the Shatner bashers won't want to admit it, and I understand...but it is what it is...

I'd have to agree with Luke Skywalker. Though he may not be at the top of my list, I can't escape the fact that he fits the bill of classic hero in every possible way. As for my personal choice, for some reason John Sheridan comes to mind, another hero in every sense of the word. I'll also throw an honorable mention Ellen Ripley's way as well.
 
Heroes: Frank Black (MillenniuM), John Crichton (Farscape), Steve Rogers (aka Captain America), Number Six (The Prisoner), Yorick Brown (Y: The Last Man)

Villains: Brother Justin Crowe (Carnivale), Scorpius (Farscape), Norman Osborn (aka The Green Goblin and The Iron Patriot), Gaius Baltar (Battlestar Galactica), Azazel (Supernatural)
 
Spider-Man and Ms. Marvel is the number one heroine.

Anyone suggesting anyone played by Browder or Flanigan will be summarily executed.

What does Shatner have to do with Kirk?
