Well, I think you have to apply that to the time. Possibly the same thing I just said about Rocky/Rambo or Han Solo/Indy could be said to be true for Clint Eastwood's characters 20 years ago as well. Likewise I still think my initial comment that Humphrey Bogart would be the #1 on my list is true as well even though he was from many years ago.
My comment was more in regards to the various current names being tossed up that clearly don't feel iconic to me.
