JJ's All-Time Favorite Heroes

I like to read about smart, strong, caring men who aren't intimidated by women's strength. Some of my favorite heroes are:

• Max Bhagat, FBI (Suzanne Brockmann's Troubleshooters series)
  
• Rick Bragg, police commissioner (Brenda Joyce's Deadly series)
  
• Mark Darcy, lawyer (Helen Fielding's Bridget Jones's Diary)
  
  
  
  
  
• Tony Hill, psychologist (Val McDermid's Tony Hill/Carol Jordan series)
  
  
  
  
  
• Roger Mackenzie, historian (Diana Gabaldon's Outlander series)
  
• Bobby Taylor, Navy SEAL (Suzanne Brockmann's Taylor's Temptation)
  
• Stan Wolchonok, Navy SEAL (Suzanne Brockmann's Over the Edge)
  
  

I can also appreciate the occasional insensitive alpha:

• Roy Chapin, police detective (Evelyn Vaughn's Contact)
  
• Richard Sharpe, soldier (Bernard Cornwell's Sharpe series)
  
  
  
  
  
• Wolverine, mutant and soldier (Marvel Comics' X-Men)
