Fall Challenge - Adventure Hero!

Welcome to the next challenge! Let's kick it up a notch. This challenge's topic is Adventure Heroes! Zorro, Indiana Jones, Buck Rogers, Sherlock Holmes, Flash Gordon... all of these classic heroes all had a swashbuckling, over-the-top, sometimes cheesy and campy nature that was just overflowing in adventure, excitement, and just no-worries fun for the whole family on a Saturday morning radio serial.
In this challenge, challenge yourself in creating your very own serial adventure hero in this style! It could be a Dick Tracy crime character, a tomb-raiding Lara Croft type, a Sci-Fi Flash Gordon style... the limit is only your imagination!
A couple guides:
1) Texturing is not required... but encouraged.
2) You can be super-duper-high-res or do low-poly game models... your choice!
3) Name your threads something like Hero Name : Your Name
4) Any 3D or 2D program can be used.
Feel free to ask any questions in this thread. There's no prize yet, but if that changes, I'll let you know. Can't wait to see what everyone comes up with!
Deadline Noon November 30th (USA Pacific Time)!

Though 3 months does make it quite a bit easier to do this and other projects at the same time!

Yes Coldwave you had it correctly it 's my Indy and MINE ALONE WHOAAAAAHAHAHAHAH.
But it wouldn't be fair for me to be entering with a farely completed image whilest others will have to start from scratch.
Who is that guy in the middle picture anyways? don't know him
Not sure if I will enter though I still have to finish Indy(and the surroundings -I am still modeling the cloister of petra in Jordany, the place I want to pose him in and maybe if I deem it good enough I will send a final image to 3d world and after that I want to finish Voldemort properly And I do like to sleep occasionally.....

"In this challenge, challenge yourself in creating your very own serial adventure hero in this style!"
Meaning you couldn't enter a character that already exists anyway.
Hope it stay's this way, I'd personally prefer it wasn't a mix of newly made characters, and one's that already exist, like a couple of the challenges have been changed to part way through.
One or the other is fine, but together seems a bit too un-categorised for me.
Just my opinion though!

I think my character is going to alone the lines of this guy sci fi westerns are sooo cool.

so....
I think i might try a low poly character. I have a couple of questions tho.
How many polys would be a limit for a hero character in a next gen game?
What size maps would a hero model have?
