Poll question: Which action hero are YOU?
...In fantasy, or perhaps by some real resemblance?

Fellow females, I'm sorry I couldn't think of more women. There is sure a lack of kick-ass women in Hollywood. René Russo certainly plays an awesome part in Lethal Weapon 3, but I didn't know if she would be well-known enough to include on my list.

Feel free to add your favorites whom I couldn't fit or just forgot.

In case you're wondering, I'm a MacGyver girl to the end. :-)

2. John McLane (Die Hard)
Because the man kicks serious ass. And he is witty too!

Although almost everyone on that list is major kickass.

If I had to be a "hero" from Buffy/Angel I would be Spike. He is teh awesome!!

4. Heinlein's Friday
She's one of my role models because she is tough and survives through everything. plus, her life is a series of adventures rather than one overarching plot, sort of like mine.

18. Yeah? Cool!
I love the way she got herself out of jams and how she was portrayed as having inner struggles over questions about herself because society did not consider her a real person.

Ever see the TV show Dark Angel? I thought it was very derivative of Friday.

14. The Punisher.
I would say I am The Punisher. Growing up, Castle was my favorite hero. Macgyver would be second though.

Only if you have a stuck zipper.. . I hear if you put them together, in the right conditions, you can make something...explosive. ;)

35. "Wherever you go...there you are." Buckaroo rules...
....AND I've been told I look like him. Yep, B.B, is my man, although I think I'm equal parts "The Outlaw Josey Wales" and Rick Blaine, from "Casabalanca." Maybe not yer typical "action heroes," but, after all: Life is only the movie you make it.

34. William Conrad as "Cannon" A Quinn Martin Production.
Cannon was a bit "stout", shall we say. NOT a lot of action. And he drove around in a big ol' Lincoln Continental Mark IV.

I identify with that.

36. Sheena, Queen of the Jungle!!!
The really early one. The irony is, my 22 year old son loved the eighties one.
