I certainly took my liberties with the OR option here, but this was a list I could live with.



Are there others?Sure. Let it be said that I tried to approach my list of heroes in the most traditional sense of the classical hero.Heroes generally associated with altruism, courage and a strong moral compass - the generally noble hero. I intentionally avoided the dark, ambiguous anti-hero popular today.



Other potential qualifiers in my book include Martin Landau as COMMANDER JOHN KOENIG (SPACE:1999), Ed Bishop as COMMANDER EDWARD STRAKER (UFO), Michael Billington as COLONEL PAUL FOSTER (UFO), Avery Brooks as BENJAMIN SISKO (STAR TREK: DEEP SPACE NINE), CLAUS VALCA and LAVIE HEAD (LAST EXILE), NOA IZUMI (PATLABOR), Jonathan Frakes as NUMBER ONE (STAR TREK: THE NEXT GENERATION), VIRGIL or SCOTT (International Rescue) (THUNDERBIRDS), Edward James Olmos as WILLIAM ADAMA (BATTLESTAR GALACTICA), Guy Williams as JOHN ROBINSON or Mark Goddard as MAJOR DON WEST (LOST IN SPACE).



Sadly, SCIFINOW actually listed JOHN ROBINSON (LOST IN SPACE) and CAPTAIN KATHRYN JANEWAY (STAR TREK: VOYAGER) as two of the Worst Sci-Fi TV Heroes. Set phasers for stun!
