Heroes

A recent re-watching of Raiders of the Lost Ark inspired me to ask you all:

If you were in a dire situation with your life or your freedom on the line, which fictional hero would you choose to rescue you?

- Indiana Jones of the Indiana Jones franchise
- John McClane of the Die Hard franchise
- Sarah Connor from Terminator 2 (not the sissy Sarah Connor from the first movie)
- James Bond of the James Bond franchise
- Ellen Ripley of the Alien franchise
- Harry Callahan of the Dirty Harry franchise
- Tony Stark/Iron Man of the Iron Man franchise
- Han Solo of the Star Wars franchise
- Trinity from the Matrix franchise
- Bruce Wayne of the Batman franchise
- The Bride of the Kill Bill franchise
- Spider-Man of the Spider-Man franchise
- Aragorn of the Lord of the Rings franchise
- Jason Bourne of the Jason Bourne franchise
- Lara Croft of the Tomb Raider franchise
- Elasti-girl/Mrs. Incredible from Pixar's The Incredibles
- Buffy of the Buffy the Vampire Slayer franchise
- The mutants (all or any given individual) of the X-Men franchise

Who would you want to rescue you? With which of these would you trust your life? Or is there another hero I missed in whom you trust implicitly?

  1. Yes, I have another hero, Meredith. JESUS.



    James Bond. Good question!

  2. Phew, lot of good options. I'd have to say the X-Men because they were my favorites for years.

  3. Scout, this post is about FICTIONAL characters. What are you implying?

    And P.S. mine would be Tony Stark. As Iron Man or just himself.

  4. My first compulsion was to say Han Solo, but then I realized he's kind of a jerk. Plus, he'd probably manage to get himself turned into a coffee table again.

    I guess I'll go with Batman.

  5. Han Solo IS kind of a jerk. So is Tony Stark, but in a more lovable, wealthy way.
