James Bond vs. Indiana Jones

First I'd like to say, Indiana Jones would kick the shit out of Bond.  Okay, game on!

Not all action heroes have to be bulging with muscles, sporting barely decipherable accents and capable of exploding entire island nations full of terrorists on their own. They just need to be suave, capable and a hit with the ladies. No two heroes fit these criteria better than Indiana Jones and James Bond.

Not even time and aging can slow these heroes down. So the only question left is which one is truly the greatest globe-trotting adventurer? Is it the fedora-wearing archaeologist or the martini-guzzling secret agent? And now, with Cowboys & Aliens hitting theater this weekend, these two icons are onscreen together (in a manner of speaking)!

It's 007 versus Indiana Jones. Only one can win this battle royale! Read our character profiles and then cast your vote in our poll...

James Bond

Don't be fooled -- 007 is more than fancy cars and one-liners. He is a broken, stubborn man who thinks more with his balls than his brains, a volatile mix that yields a very effective killer. Whereas Indy would rather use his whip than a gun (or let God sort it out with all his wrath and face-melting fury), Bond won't think twice about aiming his Walther PPK right at his enemy's forehead and pulling the trigger. And then ordering a drink (yes, shaken, not stirred). 

Additionally, as an employee of MI6, Bond has access to state-of-the-art weaponry that sometimes borders on science fiction. Invisible cars, Rolexes that can deflect bullets, jet packs, explosive toothpaste (!)… the list is endless. But ultimately it's 007's cold heart and selfless determination that gets the job done. 

Indiana Jones

Whether fighting Nazis or Commies, running from giant boulders or shielding himself from propeller-induced blood spray, Indy has time and again proven that he is made of 100% grade-A, all-American man. Also, he won't hesitate to shoot you if you cross him, whether you're a fancy Egyptian swordsman or a no-good Nepalese mercenary. He's also got that bullwhip of his, which is a lot cooler than it sounds. 

Sure, his day job involves teaching readin' and writin' and wranglin' mummies and the such, but that all just adds to his badassness. Who would you rather be trapped in an ancient tomb with? Some fancy-pants pretty boy, or the guy who quite literally wrote the book on being trapped in ancient tombs? And has a Ph.D. in it?
