The question is fun.

Top ten:
Francis Crawford of Lymond
Aragorn son of Arathorn 
Aral Vorkosigan
(I think of these as "the big three")

Captain Jack Harkness
Captain Cairo Azarcon
Eugenides of Attolia
Mr. Rochester
Eugene Wrayburn
Philip Marlowe
Gambit (Remy LeBeau)

Non-fiction:
Julius Caesar
Percy Bysshe Shelley
Lord Byron
Captain Sir Edward Pellew (a.k.a. Lord Exmouth)
Henry II Plantagenet
Federigo Secundo Hohenstaufen

Celebrities (currently):

Christopher Eccleston
John Barrowman
Johnny Depp
Ralph Fiennes
Peter Wingfield
Milo Ventimiglia
Anna Friel (tho' I haven't seen her in eons)
Emma Thompson
Juliette Binoche
Sophie Marceau
Eve Myles

Samuel West and Katharine Hepburn also belong on that list, but I'm starting to feel greedy here.

I adored Jim Lee's depiction of everyone - I was madly in love with his Magneto!  And yes, his
Rogue at that time was wonderful.

Any particular version?  I'm not sure what I think of Angelina Jolie in the role but I have a real
crush on the video graphics.  And no, I never played "Tomb Raider" in my life.

namaste,
Elizabeth
