Hmm...I'd say Nightmare, Duke Nukem, and Barret are all manly...

But what about 007 (James Bond)? He has the ladies, he has the guns, and god knows he has the car :P

yeah, but I think he may be overcompensating for something... Wink Wink.

It's kind of hard to tell if he's manly, after all, he's a new Him in every two movies.

I guess your right...
But what about Fighter from 8-Bit theater :P?

It's kind of hard to find anything manly in a guy who flips out when he sees a spider, or when he gets excited he runs around yelling "Weeeeeeeeeeeee" in a high pitched voice.

Hell, even garland nearly beats him.

Why is it that the only video games ever mentioned are final fantasies? Other than duke nukem, FF is the only one mentioned. And is it just me or does FF have the least manly charactors ever. I agree with Nightmare though, but he also might be over-compensating for something...

Anyone who suggest characters in video games are compensating is probably compensating themselves. I doubt half of the male characters in any video game ever are compensating.

well, due to the fact that they are only video game characters, chances are they have nothing to compensate for.

Or it just doesn't matter.

I'm just getting tired of always hearing about compensation in every other thread.

Another manly character, that one big guy from Breath of Fire 3 (I think his name started with a G).

Cid from FFT.

Jax from Mortal Kombat was pretty manly.

Manliest? Raphael from SC2. Nobody beats a Frenchman in a manliness contest.







Just kidding. Duke Nukem is all man. He wins.
