Topic: Boba Fett-like characters in books, movies, comics, etc.

For anyone new to the boards, this is a "clone," if you will of an old topic in the achives, but in no way am I taking credit for it. I did not create the original topic.

Here is my list: Snape from Harry Potter (cunning, loyal and trecherous, emotionless); Rohanoa Zoro, Mr.0/Sir Crocodile, and Juraquille "Hawk-Eye" Mihawk from One Piece; Wolverine from X-men

Original Topic

It could be nice to format them line-by-line and include the character and why, like you started:

Snape (Harry Potter) - Cunning, loyal, treacherous, emotionless

Interesting topic.
Well, to me, only one character comes to mind as being similar to Boba Fett. I speak of HUNK from Resident Evil. Don't laugh at his name, it is some sort of code name. HUNK is a member of Umbrella's spec op forces. In Racoon City, he was the sole survivor of a group of forces that went in to retrieve the G-Virus from the labs. He is also a playable character in the RE4 mini-game Mercenaries. Alright, this probably means nothing if you haven't played RE, but he is similar to Boba Fett because:
-He wears a gas mask over his face, and the one time where his face is shown, it is sort of hidden in shadows.
-Not much is known about him... mystery factor.
-a gun-toting badass who can snap people's neck with his bare hands.
Not a good picture, but best and smallest I could find:

When I watched Hellboy, I kept thinking "Man, that Assassin guy is sweet!  He's like the Fettster!"  But then he took off his mask and it turned out he had no eyelids or lips.  It kinda went downhill from there....

Oh yeah, I forgot about him. By the way, is your signiture from the "League of Extrodinary Gentleman?" Some other characters that I can think of are Rain Spider from Desert Punk, Reptial and Noob Saibot from Mortal Kombat. Also, Death is fairly similar to him.

Roger Smith from Big O, [i just had to say it again] vash the stampede from trigun when he isn't acting like an idiot, corbin dallas from the fith element if you stretch it a lot and ermac from mortal kombat

How could I forget Ermac? Ermac, along with Reptile, Noob Saibot, Scorpian, Smoke (what the heck, all of the ninja) are my favorite character.

I've got a few obvious ones; The Terminator, Rambo, and Roland Deschain from Steven King's 'Dark Tower' series (best series of all time).

Why, yes it is.  Totally kewl movie.
I would have to reread the book to be certain, but I seem to recall the Investigator dude in this really obscure Piers Anthony book called "Omnivore" as being kinda Fettish.  He was this kind of government agent whose memory would be wiped every time he completed an assignment so that he would be completely unbiased.  And he was always very serious and professional.  But like I said, it's been many years since I read the book.

Oo! Uh... this one guy ing this story we read in English. Uh it was called, The most dangerious game....or something like that. An' this one guy on a island started hunting humans instead of animals...an' for some reason he reminded me of Boba Fett =D =)

I love that story!  (Although it seriously disturbed me.)  If I recall, though, that guy was psychotic in a bad way, whereas Fett is psychotic in a good way.

It was a good story! Sofar the best we've read all year. >.>; Our teacher asked us ((from a worksheet)) Which was the better human being. I shouted out "Zaroff!" ((which was his name)) An' people looked at me.. an' i said "What...he reminded me of Boba." And i held up my little Boba Fett Pez thingy =D

oh i remember reading that last year, maybe it was the year before that, dang i hate when that happens so anyway....lost my train of thought...and parts of the track...now i remember, that guy was a loonie, thankfully boba isn't crazy in that particular way

I really cannot belive that I did not think of this earlier, the Yautja.

Hmm, while we're on the subject Ripley from Alien, Schwarz Bruder from G Gundam, Heero from gundam wing, Alucard, John Spartan from demolition man

Alucard has no morals, he uses magick!

I was comparing work habits, nobody really wants to go against Boba Fett that's at least sane. or alucard if they even knew what he was capable of. They're the best at what they do, not nessasrily on the same level of course.

Samus Aran from Metroid. Both are bounty hunters. Both keep their appearences secret (or try to). And both have tragic pasts. The obvious difference though is Samus is a woman.

The Merchant from RE: 4, in the mysteriousness.

And her armor's real weird.  I will never understand how she fits into a suit of armor that has a waist about four inces in diameter.

Well, her armour WAS specially crafted for her by the ancient Chozo race, so of course its weird. But hey, Boba can't go underwater and move as freely as if he was on land.

Man, this makes me want to go Super Metroiding now. D=

I know! Fo real though, how does she do it?! Maybe she's on the TrimSpa diet. lol

True Warrior, please check the dates.

What dates? The date of my post?

No, he means this topic is dead. On each topic right before you click to see it off to the side it says when the last post was. Check that date to see how old the topic is before posting. Not trying to be rude.

What does that have to do with posting a post in it?

If a topic is dead you are not suppose to post in it.

Unless it's something portraining to the topic, such as a new piece of information or a different view on the topic as a whole.

Quiet, do not give him ideas! You are right.

i watched the movie "micheal clayton" recently.
and there r 2 assasins in it that really embody fett. they treat the work very professional(no emotion) and r very cool about their work. i instantly wanted to know more about them-but didnt. sort of like fett where less is more.
they had tricks to tracking people etc.
anyway-add 'em to the heap of characters that resemble fett.

Cujo, personally, I thought Micheal Clayton (George Clooney) was moreso like Boba Fett than those two goons with the car bomb. He gets called in for high-end jobs, he's quick on his feet, he doesn't take it from anyone, he gets people on record. Reminded me most of the Fett we saw in the Dark Horse Comics "Boba Fett" mini-series.

"goons" you say...?
i can see that point, clooney is never less than the coolest guy in the room.
but as far as the fact they were hired to survail and or kill people-made me draw the fett comparison.
and they were not without tact- the sophistication of said carbomb and how they snuffed out the other dude.
until the end when you see them rattled i thought they were smooth criminals.

cujo, heh. You're right. They were all good.

If anyone's read R. A. Salvatore's books, Artemis Entreri reminded me of Boba--until his character was ruined by that stupid flute. :mad:
