rank title points votes your vote
1 Ripley (Sigourney Weaver), Alien
Ripley's already taken out the nastiest alien imaginable, and it's hard to believe the invaders could be any worse than that. 117 207
2 Dutch (Arnold Schwarzenegger), Predator
Dutch brings massive guns to a fight: both his arms and the firearms he carries. He fought off the Predator, so he can take just about anything. 115 203
3 Captain Steven Hiller (Will Smith), Independence Day
As the key cog in the defeat of seemingly unstoppable aliens, Hiller never loses his trademark wit or force of personality. 113 209
4 Agent Kay (Tommy Lee Jones), Men in Black
The elder Man in Black brings wisdom, years of experience, and more than a little toughness. He's also handy with a futuristic gun. 110 184
5 Agent Jay (Will Smith), Men in Black
He's the one guy picked in decades to be part of the elite Men in Black. For bonus points, he's also always got a quip up his sleeve. 87 189
6 David Levinson (Jeff Goldblum), Independence Day
Brawn isn't the only thing you need to counter an invasion: you need smarts, too. And Levinson has more than enough of those. 56 178
7 Superman (Christopher Reeve), Superman
If you're going up against aliens, why not call another alien? Specifically, the bravest, strongest, and most American alien: Superman. 39 175
8 Steve Andrews (Steve McQueen), The Blob
Andrews has a key skill: the ability to be part of an early-warning system. As the adults of fifties suburbia ignore the blob, he rings the alarm. -7 145
9 Shep Ramsey (Hulk Hogan), Suburban Commando
He's got some real experience on his resume: he's a muscular interstellar warrior who's already battled the worst of the worst. -54 154
10 Zane Zaminski (Charlie Sheen), The Arrival
Sure, he's played by Sheen, but don't hold that against him. Zane's a believer: he's smart, capable, and just a little bit tough. -60 140
