1.

Jack Bauer

What takes most government agents weeks to do, Jack Bauer does in 24 hours. This occasional member of the U.S. Counter-Terrorism Unit keeps America safe from everyone, including the President himself.

2.

James Bond

Certainly the most prolific of government agents, James Bond is the star of 12 novels and 22 films. Britain's man at MI6 has saved democracy almost as many times as he's slept with his female counterparts.

3.

Agents Mulder and Scully

You can't have one without the other. X-Files protagonists Mulder and Scully, F.B.I., made an adorable (if sometimes frustratingly platonic) couple and an effective investigative team for nine seasons and two feature films.

4.

Jack Ryan

Soldier, CIA, and eventually President, Tom Clancy's recurring hero, Jack Ryan, has been dutifully defending democracy for a long time. Not only appearing in Clancy's novels, Ryan has been portrayed on the big screen by Alec Baldwin, Harrison Ford, and Ben Affleck.

5.

Austin Powers

A cheeky take on James Bond, Austin Powers remains one of Mike Meyer's most memorable characters. People are still saying "Yeah, baby!" in their most awful attempts at a British accent.
