User blog:BattleshipMan/24 with similarities to various movies, TV shows and video games

Bauer bares similarities to movie and video game characters such as Die Hard's John McClane, Splinter Cell's Sam Fisher, The Bourne Identity's Jason Bourne and is said to have influenced recent characters such as Bryan Mills in the Taken movie franchise. Additionally, the character Mike Banning in the Olympus Has Fallen film franchise bears similarity to Bauer by not only being a former Special Forces soldier but also having to save the President of the U.S. when terrorists invade the White House. Banning also coincidentally ends up killing a total of 24 villain.
