To carry the theme:

Who’s your favorite heroic figure, fictional or otherwise?*

*Simply being the protagonist of a story doesn’t cut it. I only want to hear about the heroic ones.

I’ll keep to my theme as well. Navin R. Johnson in The Jerk.

He experienced the range of human emotions and kept love in his heart. Like me!

No way dudes, he has been waving the republican banner way too hard lately.

Woo! Boo-ya! This guy knows what I’m talking about.

I think for me it would be our country’s founders collectively.

I mean the fictional idealistic ones that we were fed in school; not the racist bunch of rabid Christian slave owning murderers that existed in reality.

Wolverine

Most everybody knows him from the recently made x-men movies and he was pretty bad ass in them…but what i really love the his incarnation in the comics written in the late 80s through early 90s…writing was very original and he was this tough dirty harryish character that i could relate too…

Harry Potter and Frodo! They didn’t have guns or muscles, they were just truly good and believed in doing the right thing. Well, Harry had magic but you know what I mean. I don’t care if my heroes are nerdy.

Historic: Cleopatra. Smart, sexy, tough, and pretty awesome all around.
Fictional: HP and the whole DA
Otherwise: Sarah Nevada

I’m gonna go ahead and agree with Tiffany. He is pretty heroic, most days.

Scout from To Kill a Mockingbird because she is brave, intelligent, and thinks for herself.
