SFX Sexiest Characters in SciFi and Fantasy

[DevilEyes]

SFX has a new poll - or rather two new polls. After the Greatest vampire poll, now they have Sexiest Characters in SciFi and Fantasy. There's a list of male characters and a list of female characters, and you can vote for three on each list (and you really can vote just once). In addition to the characters on their list, there's the write-in "other" option where you can another character not on the list (but I think you can add just one).

Is Indiana Jones your perfect man? Is Buffy your slaymate of the year? Who are the sci-fi and fantasy characters that get your hormones raging? That’s what we need to know, so welcome to our latest hot-blooded poll.

We want you to vote for your top sexist men and/or women in science fiction and fantasy, for a major countdown to be published in on the site next month.

You’re voting for characters, not actors, because, let’s face it, while the fit bod of the person portraying the character is often a lot of the appeal, just as often it’s the personality of the character that counts as well. After all, we all know that Johnny Depp is a sex god, but is he really sexy as Willy Wonka? Or the Mad Hatter? On the other hand, Captain Jack Sparrow… yep, there’s a guy with the charm and the eyeliner to set hearts a-swooning.

On this page we’ve listed 100 of the guys who we think might be most popular, and on the next page 100 of the women we think might be most popular. Do not feel you have to vote just for them, though. If your favourites aren’t on the list, there’s a box at the bottom of each poll where you can add your own answers.

You have three choices in all in each list (because some people are are in touch with their inner metrosexuality and will want to vote in both): you can tick off three of the name we’ve suggested; or tick off two and add a name in the box at the bottom, or tick off one and add two names at the bottom, or simply write all three names in the box at the the bottom. We really don’t mind. The names we’ve suggested are pretty random so don’t feel restricted by them.

Oh and they made a mistake and wrote "Christopher Judge" instead of Teal'c, which is funny since they pointed out it's about the characters, not the actors. __________________

[Yevetha]

No Conan, Sisko and Khal Drogo?

Come on.

I think they fixed this.

 

[auntiehill]

I voted for

Castiel, Daniel Jackson and Trip Tucker
Amy Pond, Dana Scully, and Leela.

Clark & Elena
Damon & Buffy
Spike & Seven

Spike/Seven would be a weird couple. Kind of like Spike/Illyria.

If I were Buffy, I wouldn't want a poor (wo)man's Spike when I can have the real deal.

 

[iguana_tonante]

I voted.

Jack Harkness, Lee Adama, Wolverine.
Aeryn Sun, Jean Grey, Max Guevara.

 

[Admiral2]

Voted. Just for the girls:

Number Six and Number Eight (BSG) and Ro Laren (TNG)

 

[Greg Cox]

Fun poll, athough a little slanted towards modern sex symbols. No Emma Peel (Diana Rigg, of course) or Julie Newmar as Catwoman? And where was Nova from the original Planet of the Apes or Altaira from Forbidden Planet? Heck, where was the robotrix from Metropolis?

(Points for including Barbarella and Jessica 6, though!)

 

[Thestral]

Fun little poll, I voted.

John Crichton, Wolverine, Tenth Doctor for guys.

Aeryn Sun, Amy Pond, Max Guevera for girls (though when I saw Xena I was tempted to write in Gabrielle - it must've been because of my age, but I always had a thing for her over Xena).

 

[captcalhoun]

i voted for Jack Harkness, Thor and some other bugger, I forget who on the guys.

i voted for Morgana, Sydney Bristow and Liv Dunham on the girls, but i nearly went with Jadzia Dax and Wilma Deering.

 

[Garak]

For the men: Eames, Eric and Gaius Baltar.

For the women: Martha Jones, Number Six and Uhura.

 

[Skellington]

Tough choice. Settled on Aeryn, Amy and Jessica H. No Willow as she's incredibly, awesomely cute rather than sexy.

Number Six would have been a contender, but her image is too overtly manufactured. Almost chose Anya, but like Willow she's awesome in a not-necessarily-sexy way.

Notable omission: Emma Frost (comics version, of course.) Way sexier than Jean and a much better pairing with Cyclops.

Dudes (WTH, why not?): Aragorn, Crichton and Stark would be my man-crushes.

Edit: No Bill Adama? How do they expect to be taken seriously?

 

[Temis the Vorta]

Girls:

Dana Scully (The X-Files)
Kara “Starbuck” Thrace (Battlestar Galactica)
Princess Leia (Star Wars)

Boys (much tougher for me to limit it to three...sorry, Fox and Han...):

James Sawyer (Lost)
John Crichton (Farscape)
John Sheppard (Stargate Atlantis)

My excuse for not voting for Spock is that I couldn't decide between the two Spocks - they're the same guy!!!

I'm sure they left out a ton of people - where are all the hot guys from Heroes, for instance? Not that any of them would have changed my vote - very hard for anyone to move into that Trinity of Hawtness - but still.

And why list Rick and Darryl from The Walking Dead but snub Glenn and Shane, who clearly are hotter (albeit on opposite ends of the taste spectrum, but I pride myself on my open-mindedness).

 

[Enterprise is Great]

I went with Wonder Woman (Lynda Carter), Sarah Walker (Chuck) and Amy Pond (doctor Who).

 

[ToddPence]

Anne Francis' Ariel from "Forbidden Planet" doesn't rate? For shame!

 

[Gov Kodos]

Anne Francis' Ariel from "Forbidden Planet" doesn't rate? For shame!

Altaira, but, yeah, why isn't she here.

 

[DevilEyes]

It's not like you can't vote for 1 character who isn't on the list.

I voted for Spike, Fassbender's Magneto and (write-in 'other' option) Wolf (The 10th Kingdom). If I had to choose 3 from the list, I'd also vote for Mitchell (Being Human). And I feel bad that I didn't vote for Spock (I'd go for Nimoy in TOS days over Quinto).

It was even more difficult for the women. In the end I went with Michelle Pfeiffer's Catwoman, Kira and Six (I don't like her as Head Six, but I do as Caprica, Gina, Natalie etc.). So many girlcrush-worthy that I didn't vote for: Buffy, Faith, Darla, Uhura, Jessica from True Blood... It was hard deciding not to vote either Buffy or Faith, but I wouldn't want to choose one over the other so in the end I voted neither. (Besides, I love Buffy, but more in the relatey way than in the girlcrushy way, and I've been rewatching season 3 and Buffy's fashion choices in that season are really killing the appeal.)

 

[BDJ]

Linda Carter (Wonder Woman), Michelle Pheiffer (Catwoman), Lucy Lawless (Xena). Special mention: Yvonne Craig (Batgirl) (love those girls in satin tights and leather skirts!)

 

[Gojira]

Rose Tyler (Doctor Who)
Padmé Amidala (Star Wars prequels)
Elle Bishop (Heroes)
