Always bet on Duke.

Hum, let me check. According to <a href=http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/read/9.105184?page=1>this and <a href=http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/read/9.101303?page=1>this. This topic is official dead. The answer is generally Duke Nukem though.

Link.
Link will take your beatings with a grunt and then murder your 150-foot-tallness to death with a sword. While carrying fairies in bottles.

Link is so manly, he doesn't even need to speak to save the world.

/only sort of kidding

And they're pink!

 

[Cortheya]

Do you have to ask? Arthas!!!!!! from wc3 when he was a protagonist

 

[antipunt]

Kratos mang

Goddamn right.

I prefer Arthas from TFT.
Evil sword > Hammer.

He wasn't exactly a protagonist though...I prefer it also but i said WC3 because he was a protagonist for half the game

 

[hopeneverdies]

The Heavy.

Oh yeah!

The heavy, definitely.

YEAH! YEAH! CRY SOME MORE

 

[vodgried]

Ash from Evil Dead no doubt about it.

"Hey she-B***h, come get some!"

 

[Lord Beautiful]

Master Roshi is the manliest. He spends all of his free time in search of some young love, and he can lay waste to an entire city in seconds using his energy alone. Also, no other old man is quite so huge as him.

 

[rottenbutter]

Also, no other old man is quite so huge as him.

Um, ewww.

 

[Lord Beautiful]

Also, no other old man is quite so huge as him.

Um, ewww.

You silly, dirty-minded man.

Spoiler

While I'm certain you're joking, I suppose it's worth mentioning that this is what I meant.

 

[psyko1]

Duke is here to kick ass and chew bubble gum, and he's all out of gum.

how has nobody ever seen the movie they live?

id love to say duke nukem, but for some reason i gotta say ash from evil dead.

THIS, is my BOOMSTICK!

Have to agree, Ash takes nuthin from nobody. Hail to the king!

 

[TheRightToArmBears]

Pacman obviously, people.

 

[Escapefromwhatever]

I think people seem to be mixing up big tough manly with badass in this thread...

 

[Aqualung]

Link.
Link will take your beatings with a grunt and then murder your 150-foot-tallness to death with a sword. While carrying fairies in bottles.

Link is so manly, he doesn't even need to speak to save the world.

/only sort of kidding

This.

Fuck yes he sits in the woods on a tree stump playing his ocarina! Yes, he wears only the most manly of tights! And heck yes, he likes to ride Epona!

 

[Programmed_For_Damage]

You people may remember Duke Nukem, but how many of you played when he was only a 2D side-scroller? Back then he was just like the Contra guys with a bleach job.

While it is important to note the roided up, genetically enhanced, god-like (in Kratos' case) super men like Marcus Fenix, Master Chief (John 117 or whatever he is) and Kratos; let's not forget the more "eat your veggies, say your prayers, work out heaps and kill scores of terrorists" type manly men like Sam Fisher and Chris Redfield. Although looking at Chris in RE5, I think he might be on the juice.

 

[Iron Mal]

The manliest of the man in my opinion are:

Duke Nukem, the Doom marine, Zerautl (Starcraft), Serious Sam, Gabriel Angelos (Dawn of War) and Ripley (from Aliens)...even though she was in fact a woman.

 

[bigbrian206]

This is a bit nerdy, but my choice is Zaratul from Starcraft. No fear. No regret. Zaratul doesn't take your shit.
"You speak of knowledge, Judicator? You speak of experience? I have journeyed through the darkness between the most distant stars. I have beheld the births of negative-suns and borne witness to the entropy of entire realities... Unto my experience, Aldaris, all that you've built here on Aiur is but a fleeting dream. A dream from which your precious Conclave shall awaken, finding themselves drowned in a greater nightmare."

(Speaking to Kerrigan)
"Well spoken, Concubine of the Zerg. But though we strike at you from the shadows, do not think that we lack the courage to stand in the light. You would do well to abandon this attack."

Yes. Zaratul is the most badass main character ever. He can cut through a horde of zerg in half a second. Plus he is freakin' invisible.
