What about Detritus (Don't salute!)- if the enemy hurt you, he'll break
every bone in their bodies "including the little ones in the fingers,
and
they're hard to do"
1) M/Sgt Ernie Bilko as squad leader- will come up with a fiendish plan
in
which the opposition will find that they've traded their weapons for an
empty store. Will perform horrifyingly effective close assault if they
delay him on the way to a poker session.
2,3,4) Groucho, Chico and Harpo Marx (went to war in Duck Soup; no Zeppo
'cos he's pointless). Will harass and bamboozle opposition rendering
them
incapable of resistance.
5) Captain Scarlet- being Indestructable HAS to come in handy.
6) Sammo Law from the ineffable Martial Law ("The undisputed master of
low
centre of gravity baddie-t***ting")- Will put the opposition out of
their
misery.
7) Xena (Hey, it's nothing I can help)- As 6), but more fetchingly
costumed.
OR
1) (Hon. President) Sean Connery from The Rock.
2) The Very, Very Frightening elderly Russian cityfighter from the
recent
BBC2 documentary on the Great Patriotic War
3) Ohta from Patlabor- a cartoon psycho in a giant robot. Nice!
4,5) If books are allowed, Dominic Flandry (Poul Anderson) in Imperial
Combat Armour and Cheradenine Zakalwe (Iain M Banks) in his "serious FYT
suit"- Otherwise, another 2 giant robot pilots, plus mounts.
6) The stoned hippy M79 gunner from Apocalypse Now- first round on
target in
the dark, by sound alone.
7) The David Niven character (demolitions) from The Guns of Navarone- to
remove any inconvenient buildings
