First Appearance: Tomb Raider (1996) Lara Croft is a real tough cookie. Having been on our screens since 1996 Lara Croft and her fantastically pointy boobs have travelled the globe while kicking the virtual asses of many a ferocious enemy (and a T-Rex) who were foolish enough to underestimate her. Whether it be a crocodile, another human contracted to kill her or an ancient demon which the greed of other parties has revived, Lara has beat them all whilst being sharp enough to deliver one of her trademark one-liners. Her toughness doesn't stop there though. She has also survived a plane crash, managed to climb a giant pyramid and somehow survived almost certain death after being trapped in a crumbling temple at the end of Tomb Raider: The Last Revelation. This tough character has spawned an entire franchise complete with games, novels and films. Lara may have recently received a reboot to extend her appeal but she has always been too tough to die.
