Toughest hombre west of the Pecos?

It has to be Lee Marvin. he faced combat in WW II, received many medals for bravery under fire, and of course rarely ever talked about it. he liked tubes, as they made good target practice.

Please, people! Clint didn't *need* women. Women cramped his style. He took care of number 1 and didn't give a damn what anybody else thought. John Wayne doesn't hold a candle to Clint Eastwood. Aside from 'Stagecoach,' he wasn't even in any quality Westerns. Clint was in the best westerns ever made, and he made one of the best Westerns ever made. (Unforgiven)

oh, and solid state, baby! (although i'm listening to tubes as i type this on my office system)

Richard Boone- Paladin....boy this dates me

Suprised no one mentioned Bronson. He took on whole "hoods" to avenge the wrongs...And he certainly wasn't a pretty boy.

Tubes driving vintage "iron" OPT's

The governor of California, and of course being a cyborg, the Terminator likes solid state!
