In the first Die Hard, the man with the blonde hair that wants to kill McClane. He is much better then Hans Gruber, who, in my opinion, was a total pussy.

Especially Ackbar.
What about the cop who'd been "desked?" The one whose car was turned into swiss cheese and needed backup now, goddammit, now!

Al. I forget his last name, but it was the guy that played Carl Winslow from Family Matters.

I really hope I'm wrong in thinking that you just said "No one is greater than... him" and that you meant for that to be interpreted as "Edward Cullen is such a terrible character that replacing him with anything, even completely nothing, would be an improvement". Otherwise, we have a problem.

OT:
Spike > Angel (though it's pretty close)
Kamina > Simon

Scotty/Spock = Captain Kirk
If you meant ">", then I agree, though you could replace "Scotty/Spock" with pretty much any other bridge officer on the original Enterprise, with the possible exception of Chekov.
Also:
Sam > Frodo
Jayne/Wash > Mal (possibly, I'm still undecided)
Starbuck > Both Adamas > Dr. Baltar
Gadfium > Sessine > Bascule > Asura (though they are all main characters, and cookie for reference)

Richard Alpert in LOST.
Always secondary to either Benjamin Linus or John Locke. Always just... so interesting. Every single appearance he has, even when jumping around the timeline- he's always the same age, or looks the same.

And you always want to know why. It's so mysterious. Even Locke asks Ben at one point, "how long has Richard been on this island?" and Ben just replies, "awhile..."

Some think that he's just Jacob's eternal lackey or something... but it hasn't been explicitly said or explained by anyone. But he's just as mysterious as Jacob- since we don't even know who he is- other than that he appears all over the place in all timelines and seems to know.... everything.

Cpl. Dunn, he made me lol so much in Cod Mod 2.


Also - Mario from Ass creed 2. If you've got that far - you'll know why.

I like Ishida alot better than Ichigo from bleach. I've only seen up to the beginning of the bounts story, so it may be different latter on.

I definitely think he's going to become a much bigger player in series 6. He got a fair amount more screen time in 5 though. I'm not sure whether I prefer him over Ben though - I've hated Ben; I've sympathised with him; I've understoon his actions and totally misunderstood them; I've even nearly liked him (but only very briefly).

I think his last scene in series 5 is when I've felt truly sorry for him though.

I'm going out of my mind waiting for this final series. It's truly the best thing I've ever watched: fantastic scripts, stories, characters, actors, production values - everything.

Robin to batman I have to say. Especially when Robin becomes NightWing.
I thought Robin was like Scrappy-Doo: no one likes him.

Carth>Revan>Bastila (she's a *****, quite hot though :p)
No no!

Revan>Bastila>Carth

Carth just whined all the time - I liked him, but too much whining. Revan's my favourite because, well, I really liked my version.

...And, while we're on the subject, why is Sonic considered superior to Tails? They both run at the same speed and Tails can fucking fly!
On some of the earlier games sonic was a bit faster than Tails or Knuckles.

Every party member other than Wakka>Tidus

Sheva>Chris (just in RE5, Chris was cool in the earlier stuff)

Most other marvel heroes>Wolverine

Tails is better than Sonic (See Yahtzee for further information.)
Luigi is better than Mario (Obviously, he's smarter, and he wears green!)
Severus Snape is better than Harry Potter (his story is more compelling and intriguing than Harry's, which sadly, is a little predictable.
The Boss is better than Naked Snake (This is a tough one to explain, play MGS3 and I think you'll understand where I'm going with it.)
