   Spike from the Buffy series should be in there; he made number 1 in another survey (SFX magazine, U.K.).

   I think that list is kinda of wrong. Besides, Edward Cullen is just a kid in a good time in his carrer. Angel (played by the hottest David Boreanaz) needed be in the 1# or 2#, he is special, romantic, but in the same time a vampire, a fighter. He has a soul, he is charming, the best vampire I ever saw.

   Edward Cullen isn’t even a bloody vampire…:/ He is nothing like one.

   I think Asher from Anita Blake should be listed. but Jean Clade is more popular so there you go.
