[The Mullinator]

Link (Legend of Zelda)
Gordon Freeman (Because hes smart AND can kill giant aliens)
Sam Fischer (Splinter Cell)
Chrono (Chrono Trigger)
Indiana Jones (Only from the movies, but since hes been in a few games he kind of counts here anyway)

[Direwolf]

No order:
Solid Snake
Grey Fox
Master Chief (like Halo or not, hes cool)
Hitler with a gatling gun (Wolf3D)
Samus Aran

 

[MultiVaC]

Gordon Freeman of course! And the G-Man. Sam Fisher is also cool. Let's see... 2 more. Shodan (System Shock 2) and the Russian guy you play as in Call of Duty (think about it, a common soldier in the Soviet army had next zero chance of surviving from Stalingrad to the end of Berlin... holy crap).

 

[Foxtrot]

Sam Fisher, because he is so bad ass He is better then just about any other character, mostly because he has realistic emotions, etc.

 

[A2597]

hmm...

Gordon (HL)
Tommy (GTA3/VC)
the guy from XIII
The Hound in Wheel of Time
na'ban in Unreal 2.

oh yes...and SEAGOAT!

 

[Prince of China]

Fox McCloud
The Prince from 'Prince of Persia'
Roy & Marth (referring to Roy and Marth from Super Smash Bros. Melee version not Fire Emblem)
Mario
And John F. Mullins

 

[AmishSlayer]

Oh yeah, I'm gonna add Frog from Chrono Trigger. He had cool theme music.

itakeyourbullets - You liked Raiden better than Snake? What the hell? You're nuts. Snake is badass, Raiden is girly and pansy...but that's just my take.

I say nuts to Gordon Freeman because of a few reasons:

-He has no dialogue
-He has no appearance except concept art
-He is a scientist nerd and by not badass at all (you have to make him badass by killing people)

 

[crabcakes66]

Gordon freeman-just look at his expression in hl2.....he doesnt look like someone you want to **** with


There are alot more but im to lazy to actaully use my brain at the moment.

I love his attitude (same with Sega)... hes badass... and he got loads of girls.
