Hmmm… Clavel? Good reference.
Dirk Struan from Tai-Pan (another Clavell), only because Emily beat me to it in naming Blackthorn from Shogun. Second place is a tie between Arkady Renko from Gorky Park and Nicholai Hel from Shibumi.
For movies, I’d say it’s a three-way tie of Indiana Jones, James Bond and Richard Riddick.

Begging your pardon, Schwarz, but Drizzt is 5’6" and 130 pounds.
And his eyes are lavender, not purple.
Get it right. Sheesh.

Alright, alright, so he’s nearly Bruce Lee in terms of physique.
Phew, the guy with the meaty avatar can sigh with relief, I guess.
Did you notice while he is clearly a dark elf with black skin, the illustrations do him no justice. The Jesus syndrome…
Anyway, my favorites would be :
Comic - Thorgal Aegirsson,
Movie - Kirk Douglas in most of his epic roles (Spartacus, the Vikings, Paths of Glory…)
Novel - there are so many, for the moment, let’s say Jaime Lannister
Solid Snakes and Snake Eyes

Double HELL YES! That man is unbelievable.
I could never pick just one, as I love many hundreds of books in my library. Roland’s way way up there though.
However, you have GOT to give it up to these two men–
Felix.
and,
Jack Crow.
You become my new best friend on teh interwebs if you can name the novel they both appear in WITHOUT search engine help
Also,
Master Chief. I know what you’re thinking, & I don’t care. He’s all kinds of whoop-ass. However, Felix is still much much better.
John Kelly. Cold. Just…yeah.
Jon Snow.
And Tyrion Lannister. (but I’ve still only gotten about thru the second book)
Oh, and how could I forget–Bashar Miles Teg!
