Unlike other hero archetypes, McKnowhe is almost always paired with his equally badass femme counterpart, Doctor McKnowshe. Dr. Ellie Satler is of course one of the ultimate McKnowshes. McKnowshe usually displays most of McKnowhe's characteristics, just through a different gender lens. #mcknowhe #mcknowshe #jurassicpark #laurdern

Some other things about the heroic archetype McKnowhe:

• He's rugged but compassionate. He'll totally hug a triceratops.
• He doesn't immediately seem like he'd be good with kids, but he's actually great with them.
• He has little patience for dumb rich people. He'd probably hate Bruce Wayne if they ever met.
• His courage is powered by having a plan & keeping your head, not testosterone.

• Indiana Jones & Marion Ravenwood
• Ellen Ripley & Dwayne Hicks
• McGyver
• Buckaroo Banzai
• Mulder & Scully

Now's the part where you guys tell me your favorites.
