This week we want your votes and submissions for the most iconic character in a science fiction book or series.
What makes an iconic protagonist? Is it their ability to overcome all odds? Or, the deep introspection and reflection on some of life's biggest questions? Some have been on epic adventures that span a galaxy, while others have fought more personal battles in a single location.
