A daily dose of sci-fi - Day 5

Best sci-fi hero

If I'm not careful this will become a catchphrase for this series, but... there are many great heroes in sci-fi (just insert topic of the day instead of "heroes"), but one stands out as the best choice...


I know, I said I'd try not to have too much Doctor Who, and that's 60% of answers so far, but hush, it's right.

The thing is, the Doctor's the most heroic of all heroes, because he doesn't need a weapon or an army or any of that palaver to win the day -- he just uses his brain. And often his mouth. He always fights for what's right, he's never selfish or cowardly, and he's prepared to lay down his life for his friends... or even people he barely knows. He's funny, too. Jokes are cool.

There are many great heroes in sci-fi, and at least a few that can boast most of the above traits... but I can't think of anyone else who has them all.
