Who is the best?

This morning before work I got up uncharacteristically early and caught part of an episode of Walker Texas Ranger. The awesomeness that is Chuck Norris Consumed me. So I've put together three of the greatest normal guy super heroes. I want to know who people think is the best.

1.
Walker Texas Ranger. I never got that in to this show, but I did watch some episodes back in the shows prime. I remember the vast martial arts awesomeness of Chuck Norris. Being a fan of the Karate Kid, it's safe to say I have a soft spot for roundhouse kicks to the face. Chuck Norris rocks the beard in Walker and well, we all know beards are just awesome.

2. Magnum P.I. I caught most of the first three seasons in the six months I was unemployed after college. I contemplated becoming a private investigator, but realized that wasn't for me. Magnum (Tom Selleck) had the perfect life. Lived in Hawaii, drove a Ferrari, lived in a mansion and hung out with a club owner and a helicopter pilot. Plus, what is that on Magnum's lip - yes kids, it's a mustache. The greatest sign of masculine achievement. Me try their whole lives to grow such a commanding piece of facial hair.

3.

MacGyver - Who else can make fix anything with a swiss army knife. I'm not gonna lie, I still carry one these days. I spent my fair share of the early nineties watching MacGyver and wondering if the Phoenix foundation was real. What is even cooler is the fact that I read online and most of the stuff done in the show could technically be done in real life. Kind of makes you want to study science. Unlike, he other regular guy super heroes MacGyver did not rock the facial hair, but he does have a mulleteske hair style in some of the early episodes.

Who is my pick? It's got to be Magnum. The guy was just plain cool. He carried a gun, fought with his hands, and lived at the beach. That's just my opinion, but all three of these men are respectable in their own right.

I think I'm going to go with choice # D. That would be B.A. Barracus. That's right, Mr. T in his prime. Not only did he rock the goattee, but he rocked the gold chains. His only flaw is that he's afraid to fly in an airplane. But his red and black van with the wing more than made up for that

First off, I just want to acknowledge the fact that facial hair makes you cool. By the way, I have an awesome beard.

Secondly, hands down the winner is Mr. Selleck as Magnum PI.
