Cool thread!!
I love/d the character of Tyr Anasazi--he was fascinating; he was--at least for the first two seasons--well written and multi-facetted; and Keith Hamilton Cobb portrayed him with a Shakespearean scope and tragedy.
I watched the show because he was a beautiful contradiction in terms with the potential to become even more fascinating.
And when the the show's PTB squandered and emasculated him, I quit watching.
My belief accords Kevin Sorbo far less credit than he is given here; I find it fascinating that the drastic "revision" of the show came at the same time popularity for the "secondary" (read: not-Sorbo-the-headliner) characters and cast began to explode.
'Nuff said, I suppose.

I actually have to go with Bulwyf, from 13th Warrior on this one, though I always did like Tyr. Bulwyf is modeled after Beowulf, of course, and was a leader as well as a warrior, but still warrior first.
As a close second I'd have to agree about the Riddick. He's more killer than warrior IMO, but whatever gets the skunk skinned.

Looking at my earlier post, I can't believe I left out the ultimate "can kill you with his glare" badass.
Leroy Jethro Gibbs.
Now he could kick Riddick's ass.

Only if Andy Richter is there to back him up.
Or do you mean the slow lumbering actor that was such an unbelievable action star?

Betraying my complete ignorance here, who is Andy Richter? And why does Conan need him?

Conan O'Brien is a talk show host/ comedian in the USA. Andy Richter was (is?) his sidekick.
I was ridiculing the most over-rated action star in movie history. If you throw novels and other media in it changes things a bit.
