Quote:She is for me the top example of a female (or male, for that matter) character that suffered loss and alienation who survived to find the gentler, loving side of herself in an often brutal existence. The character as written was great, but Alba took it to another level with her simple innocence among the kaos(sp?).

Hey Chris.
Mal I can understand, but would you give your reasons for Max?? I think it's a great show, with great characters (Herbal was my fave) but I am curious as to why she is your top. Maybe you just think she's hot (which she is).
She, Mal, Buffy, and Ric Deccard (Blade Runner) are my faves because of this strength of character, and how well presented they were.

H. George Wells from The Time Machine (1960) ( Rod Taylor)
The man had tremendous courage, morality, and strength of character even though he was a pacifist.
Linda Barrett from Fast Times at Ridgemont High (1982) (Phoebe Cates)
Girl had no courage, no morality, and no strength of character, but she sure knew how to exit a swimming pool.

Ah the classics. Just think, the players in old porn actually had names and reoccurring roles.
Thanks Kane.
Favorites for the day:
Male: Mr Blonde. Michael Madsen wannabe today. Cool, cold, and pretty enough to make the girlies sigh.
Female:Persephone (Monica Bellucci) from the Matrix flicks. Talk about sighs. Think my heart just sank to the nethers. Hooah!

Oh, crap. Ender! I totally forgot about Ender! (Seriously, if you have never read Ender's Game, do it! Especially if you are a male and had people picking on you growing up, especially if it was because you were "smart." If that is the case, you'll understand the social imperatives on the boy so strongly that you'll FEEL what he feels. If that be the case, I'd say if Ender's Game has not been translated into a language you speak, it would be worth it to learn a new tongue just to read it.)
That said, the reminder about Ender has made it impossible for me to choose. I had to cut too many already. Consider my lists just brief excerpts and my standouts of 'greatest' over HMs to be passing whims; I couldn't possibly exclude anymore.

Okay, I'll play.
Male: Elric
From the novels written by Michael Moorcock. This guy is the anti-Conan of the fantasy genre. Instead of being strong and noble he is a sickly albino forced to take drugs to maintain his strength. Instead of winning a kingdom he is born into royalty, the emperor of a decandent and somewhat depraved people. Instead of being a benevolent ruler he abandons his throne in search of adventure. Instead of being the typical knight in shining armor he is aligned with various dark forces including the most powerful Lord of Chaos. Throughout the books he is directly responsible for the deaths of his closest friends and loved ones. In stark contrast to Frodo, who is tasked with destroying the One ring to save Middle Earth, Elric uses a powerful object to bring about the downfall of his own world. The story ends with one of the great lines ever to appear in print or on film. "Farewell friend, I was a thousand times more evil than thou!"
Female: Ms. Parker
From the TV series The Pretender. A walking bad attitude. She's armed, tough as hell, doesn't take crap from anyone, and is fanatical about catching her quarry. Though her main objective was to catch Jarod some of her best moments occur via the political jockeying at The Centre. So she went a little soft near the end, I like to pretend some of that stuff never happened.
