1. Jim Raynor (Starcraft)

Not You Again

Claiming the number one position on our list is none other than the awesome combat suite wearing James Raynor. Defending the galaxy from the Zerg swarm, while simultaneously rescuing his lost love is just another daily stroll through the cosmos for this epic hero. Commonly forced to make tough decisions with lives hanging on the balance, James Raynor serves up three courses of justice daily.

Unfortunately labeled as a rebel for pursuing the correct course of action, he will stop at nothing to retrieve what was taken from him. James has no trouble casting aside the vicious words of his critics and boldly stepping into the light to claim the number one spot on our countdown. 

As always everyone has their own cherished list of heroes which through courageous feats has placed them in varying spots on each individual’s heroic list. If you feel certain characters have arguably performed greater heroic deeds than those listed above, feel free to leave a comment below.
