Mine is Beaker from the Muppets. I can identify with Beaker, a somewhat gullible test subject and long suffering assistant of Dr Bunsen Honeydew. Somebody that things always happen to, often out of his control.
Beaker is my spirit animal.
Brains from Thunderbirds sums me up - I may not be quite as clever and am certainly not under the wing of one of the wealthiest people on Earth - but I share a lot of characteristics with him. I may have lost my stammer over the years. A tour of the Thunderbirds studio where they were making some 'new' episodes of the classic puppet show meant I could at last meet him. And he had not changed a bit in the last fifty years!
As a kid I wanted to be John Tracey up in the space station Thunderbird 5 as it meant I could be alone, do whatever I wanted and be able to listen or watch any TV or Radio station in the world with their monitoring equipment... as a kid who was obsessed with long distance TV and radio reception this was a dream job!
A perfect job for the ASD soul x lol
Yep Virgil was a bit of a knob, he had the best launch sequence tho! When I was a bit older I decided I'd rather be Alan in TB3 cos he was the coolest, had a girlfriend and looked like Billy Idol... but still got some quality solitude up in the space station when John needed a break.
