Is there some HUGE online following for MacGyver I don't know about?

And I thought the whole point of MacGyver was that he wasn't tough, that he used his brains (as well as a Swiss army knife and, sometimes, bits of a pair of binoculars) to get himself out of trouble ? He did have a certain never-say-die, where-there's-a-will-there's-a-way tenacity to him though (bit like Jack O'Neill in that regard).
Not an insane list apart from that, Magnum was usually the cheeky rogue we saw on the show but I remember some episodes where he flashed back to Vietnam and those showed he had some iron in his bones.
(i'd probably include the Unstoppable Jonas Blaine - I genuinely can't think of him without putting some sort of qualifier in front of his name ;) - from 'The Unit', he's a bit unrealistic but still proper tough. And going back a bit - and over [the pond] a bit - Callan)

Why not just pit Professor Roy Hinkley against MacGyver in a build-off deathmatch. Give them both a coconut, a paperclip, a bag of dirty laundry, 600lbs of sheet metal and an elect Nixon button, then see if they can build a fuel efficient car.
Since the criteria for this list seems kind of loose, maybe we should include Jim Rockford. Here's a guy who got his butt kicked at least once a week and still managed to come back for 122 episodes.
Sorry, but this list just pissed me off! *sigh*

This is what I always thought as well. He's almost an anti-action star.

Yeah Xena should be #1. She's got both the physical and mental qualities.

There is a lot being said in that picture.
Why are Angel & Spike out on that rock? What's with the goth eye makeup and the swords? Who's the skeleton?

And tough isn't a synonym for strong or dangerous. A lot of it is how hard a hit you can take, and also partly to come back even when you've been pushed to a limit. With Buffy 's super-powers, her limts are harder for circumstances or a bad guy to reach. Yes, of course she was tested, harshly, but reaching a point that woudl test her at all is a much lnger journey and so she could conceivably come in behind a normal person. It's possible. It has been argued that the toughest person in Avengers Mansion is Jarvis.

Man, Omar gets no respect at all... not that he could take Buffy.

I'm still surprised that Magnum was actually a crossdresser.

I love the manip, I have one similar but a little different that I've had for so long, I can't remember where I got it (major difference is it's a Spuffy, so no Angel).
Thanks for the link Enisy. And it does say you need permission for anything other than personal use.

Never saw MacGyver tell the first evil of the world to "Get out of my face!" after being stabbed in the abdomen.
