John McClane (Die Hard)

John McClane is like that friend who shows up to a party wearing a tank top, ready to fight the entire band—just because they’re playing ‘Jingle Bells’ wrong. He doesn’t care about the odds; he’ll kick some German butt in bare feet, for crying out loud! The man’s got one-liners that could turn a hostage situation into a barbecue invitation. Wincing through bad hair days, surviving explosions, and declaring ‘Yippee-ki-yay!’ like it's an everyday mantra, McClane has made it impossible not to root for him. And let's be honest, when you’re saving a building full of hostages in your jeans, that’s an attitude we can all get behind. Who wouldn't want to see him duke it out with other tough guys? You know you want to pick a side here—just try to convince me he isn’t the king of action heroes!
