“Hacksaw” Jim Duggan and He-Man.
…
What? DON'T JUDGE ME.

These were characters/people that actually had my hero worship and influenced me in that manner, rather than just characters/people I liked to watch.
Actors, in order of worship:
1. Sean Connery (007)
2. Steve McQueen
3. Michael Biehn (Terminator, ALIENS)
4. Arnold Schwarzenegger
5. Patrick Stewart (Star Trek TNG)
6. Adrian Paul (Highlander TV series)
7. Young Jackie Chan
8. Vin Diesel in Pitch Black
Fictional characters, in order:
1. Optimus Prime
2. Solid Snake
3. Heathcliff (Wuthering Heights)
4. The Real Ghostbusters characters
5. Odysseus (Greek myths)
6. He-man
Sports personages, in order:
1. The Rock (he brought me back to WWF… for a good while)
2. Hoyce Gracie (early UFCs)
3. Mike Tyson (before his fall from grace) - He'd be higher if only he has a manly voice

Odysseus was probably a real person tough… outside of the stuff in the Odyssey and the Iliad of course… well most of it anyway, in many ways the Odyssey is pretty realistic

I… don't think…
No.

Oh, not the giants or Athena showing up to help out every so often or Poseidon making storms etc, rather stuff about raiding the people of Cicones, the religious rights that Nestor and his people perform at Pylos, the games of the Phaeacians and thousands of other details. I find it more realistic than many modern so-called “non-fiction” biographies, but that's just me. :)

Superman
Popeye
He-Man
Lion-O
Super Mario
The Ninja Turtles.

Hmmm… as a kid all my heroes were entirely fictional. Now they're all real people. I wonder what it all means.

Batman
Superman
Spider-Man
Green Lantern
Static Shock
So yeah, most of my life was spent behind a TV screen XD.

In no particular order:

Spiderman
Batman
Luke Skywalker
Jesus
