Micheal Valentine Smith!

He comes from Mars and sets up his own religion based on Lot's of Sex.

Dude I always figured that the Realians had taken Heinline too literally....

Just like I figured the TV preachers really took Janis Joplin's "Mercedes Benz" to heart, but don't want to admit it.....

Meh, if all the soldiers in the movie weren't lousy shots, the little brainiacs would get wasted right at the start ;)

Their suits were bulletproof,the only type of weapon usefull enough to kill them were their own,remember the two kids at the White House visit,they did a better job than a bunch of trained secret service men. :D

And they took the guns from a martian who got killed after a USSS agent nailed him in his helmet with a 9mm pistol. The helmet shattered like ordinary glass.

No other man in the entire movie has managed the incredible feat of "hitting an alien in the head", therefore they all sucked :P

Marvin's got the 236 explosive space modulator. Nothing can stop him.

I vote Marvin. He has a more efficient means of blowing up planet Earth than the Death Star does. And disintegration guns galore. And thousands of expendable martian dogs. And that massive facility he has on Mars belongs only to him. If that's his, what of the other martians on Mars? Though, I never heard of or saw any others in the cartoons...perhaps it's a mere colony.

Marvin, of course. To stop him it takes the entire might of a crazy rabbit that outsmarts him :D

Mars attacks....
Bah, Dan Simmons' gods own them all. Although we can't really be sure what the fuck is going on until the second book comes out.

Have a very nice day.

Marvin gets taken down by talking animals. (Specifically rabbits, ducks, and pigs)

Tripods are taken out by a simpe virus.

I don't think they're a whole lot better, if at all.

"The rifle itself has no moral stature, since it has no will of its own. Naturally, it may be used by evil men for evil purposes, but there are more good men than evil, and while the latter cannot be persuaded to the path of righteousness by propaganda, they can certainly be corrected by good men with rifles."

The original, although the 1950's movie has a charming corniness to it...
