You can only choose one -
From any media, what is the best fictional character ever created? And if you could be one, which one would you like to be? (even if this is different to your favorite) |

If people are having more than one, can I just add:
The Shadow, John Constantine (comics not that bloody film), Milton's Lucifer, Gulliver Foyle, Jerry Cornelius, Captain Ahab, Daisy Miller, Thomas De Torquemada, Luther Arkwright, JJ Huntsecker, The Preacher (from Night Of The Hunter), Doctor Benway... (There's a lot more, of course.) |

Robert started it:
Toss-up among Jesus, Satan from Paradise Lost, Falstaff, Garp, Superman, Zorro, Mary Poppins, Huck Finn, Sam Weller, Wotan from the Ring Cycle, Salome from the Strauss opera, Emma Woodhouse, Jean Valjean, and Barbarella. But yeah, you're right. The good Doctor is pretty definitive, so I'll stick with him. |

Christ. Oops, I mean, Christ, what impossibly hard questions these are. I don't think I can ever answer the first one, and the second one's only
slightly easier. For now though, I'd like to be...ah, I give up. I really don't know.

EDIT: A bit more seriously, a character I find so fascinating (though I wouldn't really want to be him), and one I don't think anyone will mention here is George Smiley, a recurring character in John Le Carre's novels.
