Best Movie Character to Have at Your Workplace

I work in a warehouse and just today completed our annual wall-to-wall inventory, where everything must be counted. This count had to be 95% accurate or higher (thankfully, 99% in this case 😉 ).

I've been thinking to myself: what if I had Dr. Manhattan as my coworker? He could just synthesize any of the missing materials and get my numbers right. Then again, Mr. Osterman could glimpse into his own future and take the fatalistic route, letting the percentage fall where it may.

Then I thought: Iron Man. He could tap into my computer's inventory software and set up his own interface, replace forklifts and pallet jacks with his Iron Legion and drones, have no security or maintenance problems whatsoever from things like theft or damage to raw goods, and I could even sweet talk my way into getting a nano-tech Bleeding Edge suit myself (well, maybe not, but surely a War Machine suit or at least an Iron Spider suit? Rescue suit?).

What are y'all's thoughts? What movie character would make your job a daily adventure or a sure thing in terms of work performance?

I’m a non-destructive testing technician who x-rays and ultrasonic views pipes and butt welds.

Superman, Iron Man, and Doctor Manhattan would definitely make my job a lot easier.

I was in the US Army.
I wouldn’t have minded being in the same Unit as MSG Bilko (Steve Martin version).

Those are very solid choices, Imp.

Riv with a very unique choice. I like it sir.

Jack Sparrow because he would make a nice foil for my job in loss prevention.

Thanks;
I was referred to as the black Bilko for quite a while after that movie hit theaters, for the shenanigans i’d Pull. It would have been great to learn from the master! 😛

I wish I had an NCO like Bilko when I was in the Army, but I was Infantry and Bilko would have NEVER worked. 😂

I'll be honest, blonde teen nympho from the blonde teen nympho films would be fun as my secretary.

Flash would be helpful.

So true; i’ve always said super speed would be the most useful power to have in RL.

Yup, flash for me but the CW version
