Who's more attractive? Who's more fun? Who do you like best?

This poll is closed.
No further voting is allowed.

In most genres, there is a fairly clear good guy, and a fairly clear bad guy; a hero and a villain. What I want to know is which people prefer: think about personalities, stereotypes, those that don't fit into stereotypes, etc. I'd be happy if you email me with your opinion as well! If you do, who's your favorite of your favorite type?

I know you wouldn't navigate away from this page without voting, so thanks for your vote ahead of time!

Note: It has been brought to my attention that there are genres that do not make use of a good guy/bad guy dichotomy. And that's fine! I write in it myself very commonly. If you need to, think of heroes and villains as personality types (I know I do) or just choose one of my "neither" answers. And, as always, please email me with comments. I love to hear from you guys!
I like both--both have interesting qualities, and both are necessary to a story.

I like heroes and villains, but I like "ordinary" people with a mix of good and evil best (Thanks, Carpageo)

I LOVE VILLAINS!!!! Evil people have the most fun. Heroes have too many rules.

Heroes. The good guys. I just can't sympathize with evildoers.

I like neither--I prefer characters with an ambiguious alliance to good/evil.

I'm a forward-thinking modernist/postmodernist and I don't think in these terms.
