10 Action Movie Characters Every Guy Wishes He Could Be

6. Achilles

Achilles was arguably the greatest fighter the world has ever seen. He had the ability to change the course of a single battle or an entire war if he decided he wanted to. In a day before guns, being the Alpha Male with a sword was a prestigious and envious title to have. Suffices to say, every single guy out there has wished they were Achilles at some point in their life. If they somehow haven€™t before this article, they are thinking it now. He was a guy you just didn€™t mess with. I don€™t know a male out there that doesn€™t wish they were that guy who no one wanted to fight, cross, or just be in the way of when they are having a bad day. It would be the ultimate feeling of invincibility. Now, to anyone that may not be aware of whom Achilles actually was, the current number one reference to him is seen in today€™s use of describing someone€™s Achilles heel, or their one true weakness. Don€™t let this reference fool you into thinking Achilles was weak or someone not worthy of making this list. Without going too much into the details of the Greek mythology that describes the dipped heel of Achilles, we will just leave it at this: if his one and only weakness is something that generations later is still being used as the namesake of someone else€™s one and only weakness, you can rest assured it is saying nothing but good things about Achilles.
