Poll question: Best character in the history of science fiction?

[Parche]

[Dr. Strange]

1. Um, no.

Leto II, God Emperor of Dune can kick everyone's ass.
Don't even bother arguing--the case is frakkin' closed.

2. Darryl Revok

3. Chewbacca.

13. Gully Foyle is my name:

And Terra is my nation: Deep space is my dwelling place: And the star's my destination.

You hit it on the head pokerfan.

27. Education: None

Skills: None
Merits: None
Recommendations: None

This is your nominee for best SF character ever? :shrug:

(Pretty strong candidate, I'd say...)

[pokerfan]

29. It's a character about nothing

A man of physical strength and intellectual potential stunted by lack of ambition. Energies at minimum. The stereotype Common Man. Some unexpected shock might possibly awaken him, but Psych cannot find the key. Not recommended for promotion. Has reached a dead end.

Or has he?

[sarge43]

35. After Gully distributes the PyrE around the world ...

"You're insane, man. You've handed a loaded gun to children."

"Stop treating them like children and they'll stop behaving like children. Who the hell are you to play monitor?"

(Snip)

"Stop treating them like children. Explain the loaded gun to them. Bring it all out into the open." Foyle laughed savagely. "I've ended the last star-chamber conference in the world. I've blown the last secret wide open. No more secrets from now on ... No more telling the children what's best for them to know .... Let 'em all grown up. It's about time."

36. That's a good one

8. Horselover Fat

[Dr. Strange]

9. I kinda thought he was a Dick.

:)

[mainegreen]

10. But he was a fantastic character.

Same way I think Thomas Covenant is one of the best characters in fantasy. Total dick, you couldn't like him, but an amazing character.

“Being intelligent is not a felony, but most societies evaluate it as at least a misdemeanor.”

Maybe not my FAVORITE, but a LOT of quotable quotes!
