Heroes

We Want You to Decide!

Click EasyEdit above to add a new hero to the list.

**Heroes are not listed according to importance.**


001 Username: Atombee
Fave hero: George Taylor (Planet of the Apes (1968))

George Taylor
Reason: He went to the future and fought gun-toting, talking apes. Really, what more evidence do we need?
002 Username: Kampfgruppe
Fave her
o: Jack Burton
Jack Burton
Reason: Cause it's all in the reflexes!
003 Username: dazzledbytwilight
Fave hero: Han Solo
Han Solo
Reason: He's brash, ruggedly handsome, sometimes a total chicken, and has a very hairy sidekick. He's not afraid to shoot first (whatevs, George). He can survive carbon freezing. He flies through the galaxy in a piece of junk. He also fails to be disturbed that his buddy (and eventual bro-in-law) once had the hots for his own twin sister, even if he didn't know they were related then. An imperfect hero...which makes him...perfect!
004 Username: amy.cottrell
Fave hero: Superman
Superman
Reason: Not every alien in a sci-fi movie comes to Earth just to blow it up! Superman shows us all how to be better humans, even though he's not a human himself.
005 Username: moveefan
Fave hero: The crew of Serenity
Ah, Serenity
Reason: Sorry, I don't know where to begin. I'm not even sure they're heroes.

They're heroes to me, and each deserves his or her own picture but that would be too many. - MelindaSky
006 Username: Fen
Fave hero: Wall-E
Wall-E
Reason: Can you look at him and NOT feel good, immediately?
007 Username:mikejohnson
Fave hero:Obi-Wan Kenobi
Obi-Wan Kenobi
Reason: I don't know why I have to justify this but no one seems to understand why Obi-Wan is the Ultimate Hero of the Star Wars movies. This is as much his story as it is that of Anakin Skywalker/Darth Vader. Obi-Wan starts the series besting Darth Maul (the killer of his mentor), goes on to face down Jango Fett (while Boba is shooting at him from Slave I), kills General Grievous, beats the snot out of Anakin and leaves him for dead. He finally dies willingly at the hand of Darth Vader but becomes "more powerful than you can possibly imagine." And then assists in the training of Luke from beyond the grave. No other character can list as upstanding of a resume!
008 Username: Moveefan
Fave hero: Mad Max (before he sucked)

Reason:
009 Username: mikejohnson
Fave Hero: The Incredibles
$$PAGE$$100-greatest-sci-fi-movie-heroes - msn-Superfan
Reason: When it comes down to who I want helping me in a crisis, I want a team that can accomplish anything when they work together.
010 Username: Green-Arrow
Fave Hero: Corporal Hicks
Corporal Hicks
Reason: I know Ripley seems like the obvious choice, but gotta go with Dwayne here. He steps up and holds the squad together when all hell is breaking loose, keeps everybody frosty and alert, and teaches Ripley how to rock n roll. So cool he can catnap through an atmospheric drop.

Side note: Most pointless death ever. (Damn you to hell, Fincher!)

Ditto, especiallly the side note! - MelindaSky
011 Username: Rodzilla24
Fave Hero: Godzilla
$$PAGE$$100-greatest-sci-fi-movie-heroes - msn-Superfan
Reason: He's big, he's mean, and he always wins. What isn't there not to love???
012 Username: Scifi Fan
Fave Hero: James T. Kirk
James T Kirk
Reason: Who doesn't know about Kirk's historic five year mission and all the alien babes he's had. Plus his solutions with problems are with either a phaser, his fists, or both.


From Green-Arrow:
I heartily agree!
$$PAGE$$100-greatest-sci-fi-movie-heroes - msn-Superfan
013 Username: LBee (c/o Atombee)
Fave Hero: The Ghostbusters
I ain't afraid of no ghost
Reason: My 8 yo insists that the Ghostbusters belong on this list. Thinking back on it, she has a point.
014 Username: ABee & LBee (c/o Atombee)
Fave Hero: Chewbacca .. aka Chewy
Chewbacca
Reason: ABee (5yo) says he's loyal. LBee (8yo) says he's very funny, has a very big smile, and he's very brave. Chewbacca really is under-rated as a hero, don't you think?
015 Username: Kampfgruppe
Fave Hero:
Alex Murphy
$$PAGE$$100-greatest-sci-fi-movie-heroes - msn-Superfan
Reason: You can't keep a good cop down.
016 Username: Big B

017 Username: Barry
Fave Hero: Huey, Dewey, and Louie
$$PAGE$$100-greatest-sci-fi-movie-heroes - msn-Superfan
Reason: Three tough robots that helped save the last forests in Silent Running with Bruce Dern as the hero.

They were the heroes IMO. - MelindaSky
018 Username: dorkesse
Fave Hero: ET

E.T.

Reason: his heals, he can help you fly and how could you resist those eyes!
019 Username: Psyence_nerd
Fave Hero: Deckard
Deckard
Reason: You can't show Roy Batty on the other list, and not have Deckard on this one. Badass, all the way.
020 Username: Psyence_nerd
Fave Hero: (ripped) Sarah Connor
sarah
Reason: Goes without saying, but I'll say it anyway. Like Deckard (above), we're talkin' no superpowers, no ray guns, no aliens -- just flesh, bood, bullets and brains hunting down nasty cyborgs. Total, total badass! That's my kind of hero.
021 Username: Skiiz
Fave Hero: Jack Deth Jack Deth
Reason: Cause straight hair's for squids and only the weak become Trancers!

In Australia, we watched "Future Cop". The original title was "Trancers."
022 Username: darthfrog
Fave Hero: Optimus Prime
$$PAGE$$100-greatest-sci-fi-movie-heroes - msn-Superfan
Reason: He's the Transformer! Nuff said!
023 Username: Aiden Murphy
Fave Hero: Frodo Baggins

frodo
Reason: He is the most awesome midget.




I'd contend Frodo isn't a sci fi hero, but a fantasy hero- moonlitesonata2

026 Username: tam6787
Fave Hero: Dr. Who
$$PAGE$$100-greatest-sci-fi-movie-heroes - msn-Superfan
Reason: The Dr. has saved the Earth so many times and not many people know about it.
027 Username: Kampfgruppe
Fave Hero: Snake Pliskin
$$PAGE$$100-greatest-sci-fi-movie-heroes - msn-Superfan
Reason: Isn't it obvious? However, I did expect him to be a bit taller.
028 Username: Kampfgruppe
Fave Hero:
Ellen Ripley
$$PAGE$$100-greatest-sci-fi-movie-heroes - msn-Superfan
Reason: Just a average Jane thrust into the worst possible situation and came up on top of a pile of acid for blood, killer aliens. She really knows how to take one for the team as well.

Reason: And she did it four times, the best of which was with Hicks in Aliens. (A3 should be obliterated. Damn you to hell, David Fincher (director) and Vincent Ward (storyline)! - MelindaSky
029 Username: Dada
Fave Hero:
Elvis Presley & JFK

Fave Hero: The Men in Black
$$PAGE$$100-greatest-sci-fi-movie-heroes - msn-Superfan

Username: lakethlollipop
Fave Hero: Harry Potter, with Ron Weasley & Hermione Granger
Reason: Come on, how can Voldemort be on the other list, but not these three here? Harry is continually tormented by the V-man, and Ron and Hermione tormented by having to deal with their friend's random idiosyncrasies, and yet Harry continues to fight against him, and Ron and Hermione continue to help him, no matter what. They're like the Three Musketeers or something. And for the person who likes to say that Frodo, and likely these three as well, are fantasy heroes rather than sci-fi - look in your book/movie store. Science Fiction and Fantasy are usually lumped together. They both have roots in each other.

I really liked Rorshach in the Watchmen movie. He was tough as hell but had feelings, too. And a great voice to go with the face.

Khan, not a hero. Roy Baty is more like neutral, although he looks real intimidating. If he's start philosiphizing about your "eyes"....!!!run for your eyes!!!
Maurice Kane

EVE OF DESTRUCTION
NOVEMBER 14 9:30:29 PM
Definitely the choice is DONNIE DARKO from the movie of the same name. Donnie is the quintessential hero in that he's an emotionally disturbed teenager who, without any knowledge of quantum physics, must create a wormhole in space to reverse time and save his mother, youngest sister, and girlfriend from certain death!
