Replace Robert Neville

You are to replace Robert Neville with a non-powered human to preside over the NYC in I Am Legend. The person you pick must be able to fight Darkseekers and hunt animals for food. He must be smart enough to attempt to find cures for the virus. The person you choose will have access to everything Neville had. Robert's house, various assortment of keys, weapons, food, supplies, equipment, and vehicles will all be transferred over to the replacement. As will his pet dog Samantha. Whoever you choose to replace Neville will have his immunity to the virus.

Things to Consider
*John McClane whether want to admit or not is nowhere near smart enough to replace Neville.
*Any version Bruce Wayne refuses to use firearms. Going H2H with Darkseekers is a quick way to get yourself sent to the grave.
*Before you all say this is tailor made for Blade. He's a superhuman.

Good Choices To Consider
*Jason Bourne
*Jango Fett
*John Connor
*Spock

Off the top of my head, I'd say Ethan Hunt from the M:I movies. Even though Tom Cruise is a lousy actor.

Reed Richards (pre-powers if you want)

He discovers the cure before the outbreak even gets serious. He keeps his wife and kid and, therefore, doesn't end up with emotioanl problems.

In other words, the movie doesn't even happen with Mr. Fantastic's brain in play. 😄

Do I win a prize? 😄

Syndrome from The Incredibles. He's smart as hell and makes awesome gadgets. Plus, he is not super human. Only super intelligent.

Hannibal Lecter. (Obviously in his more youthful days). He might be a psychiatrist but i'm sure he can apply his vast intellect to other fields. He quite clearly physically capable (the way he dealt with the 2 officers in Silence of the Lambs (lifting one up the cage wall). I don't think he'd go partly mad like Neville did and so would never fall for the trap using the dummy in the 1st place.

He'd probably eat a few of the darkseekers as well.

Seth Brundle from the fly.

Dustin Hoffman's character from "Outbreak."

LOL

I was thinking something similar.

I figured, though, that he couldn't do anything about since there is no "original" carrier, that he's aware of, to get his hands on and create a cure with.

But wait....maybe I'm wrong. Since he is immune, then he could use himself to make a cure? Obviously, he'd do it faster than Neville. Am I right?

**** if I know. Hoffman's character pwns Reed Richards because he has military training yo, he knows how to use a rifle. Maybe not as smart as Reed, but he figured shit out on the fly well enough, and he was smarter than Neville IMO.

Yeah, but, Reed Richards can defeat demi-gods. 😆

Not in human form ❌ PWNED.

He did.

With his mind.

PWNED.

IIFC it was Norrin Radd who killed Galactus. Not Richards.

I was referring to the comics. My comment was orignally intended as humor. Thanks for making things serious business. 😠

Haven't seen any options I would want to replace Neville with.

The smart genius types are a good choice except, it depends on the scenario. If They are suddenly put in that situation, they wouldn't have the time to build weapons or some uber device/cure etc. Unless, maybe if Richards could seal his building, then he could take all the time he wants for prep.

None. It should be the end of it as the movie is non-canon and the 616 comics are. 😄
