America, Fuck Yeah

 

I thought he was dead.

 

Depends how you want to do it. Are we talking about the guy who would kick everybody's ass? Depends if any of the others can get their hands on some kryptonite. Otherwise, it's over fast.

Since we're including characters from comics, I'm surprised we haven't seen Spider-Man. Great character. Relatively short history in movies, but a very long history in other medium. Wolverine deserves a mention, too.

Still, for a pure movie action hero, Indiana Jones is at the top of my list, too.

Han Solo is a great character, too, but he's not even the main hero of the original Star Wars Trilogy, so he has to be pretty far down the list.

 

Great call on Axel Foley.

 

I'm surprised you didn't just say, "Me."

As for Axel Foley, I loved the movies, but nobody who holds a gun the way Axel does (or Reggie Hammond, for that matter) can be included in the discussion.

I'd throw Leon from "The Professional" into the mix.

 

While I do love myself, I feel I lack a bit of depth to be ranked among the top 10. But top 20, that could be a different story.

 

Your modesty is an admirable quality.
