Perry Mason - extraordinary detective and masterful cross-examiner. By the way, that's the Mason in the books, not the watered down dreary version Raymond Burr brought to television.
Sarah Connor - a nice transformation story of a woman growing into more than she thought she could be. I adore strong female characters... hence...
Ellen Ripley (Alien \ Aliens \ Alien 3 & 4). Another strong character who does more than hold her own against insurmountable odds.
And the cheat - John McClane (Die Hard Series) - the quintessential definition of an hero - an ordinary man transformed by extraordinary circumstances.
