See, as someone who is blond and blue eye Nordic type, I always felt it a bit a sting that assumingly 90% of all heroes of computer games, movies, TV shows and comics are dark haired types, mostly brown eyed. I mean, sure so what, you may say. But somehow don't we all somewhere want to find us in stories?
The vast majority of comic heroes is dark haired, Batman and ALL his many sidekicks, Superman, Wolverine, Wonder Woman. Same in movies, Harry Potter, Frodo, whoever you want. And games just the same. Commander Shepard, Hawke, most of the official versions of computer games were black haired or dark brown haired guys.
And Nordic types? Yes, Duke Nukem, Aquaman and Anakin. Great. Dumb, useless and evi.
I am really tried with this anti-Nordic stereotypic that blonde people are shown as dumb and arrogant and 90% of heroic characters are black haired as if Nordic type people would not exist!
Pft.

Physical appearance is a factor in life which we can't control and in the case of an unfortunate helping of looks, we either learn to cope with that or spend our lives in bitterness, Elikal.
I think the problem is, not enough Scandinavians write super hero stories.
LFD tools are great for cramming people into content, but quality > quantity. I am, usually on the sandbox .. more "hardcore" side of things, but I also do just want to have fun. So lighten up already

Dark ponies > blonde ponies too

Well we could . . . but thanks to a certain group of a-holes during WWII, that kind of thing is seen as extremely evil.
Also, is a world, even a fantasy world, where THESE people are the mainstream majority a place you really want to live in.

Yeah, that might be but Thor is blonde and that was more the gist of my suggestion as Elikal was pointing out that heroes were never blonde.
And for the sake of discussion, I dated two scandinavian women and they were blonde with blue eyes. hmmm, actually they were the only blondes I ever dated. Maybe I'm biased!!

It would be nice to have a more selectable avatar for gaming. As one fellow said about female avatars, "If I'm going to stare at a butt for hours on end, it ought to be a cute one."
Then again, I'd also like to point out that the dark, dark-haired, squat, barrel-chested peoples are also a Nordic archetype; such as Egil Skallagrimson. And Skallagrim himself, to represent us squat, dark, bald guys.
Maybe it's because most people have darker hair and brown eyes and they want relatable heroes.
It's probably more that the artists themselves are creating characters in their own image.
However, with the movie and television industry there has been a sharp decline in male nordic leads over the past few years.
There's also been a sharp decline in "competent men", so maybe people don't like to see Nordic people as incompetant or they are not believable in that role...

He wants Flash Gordon all to himself.
No required quests! And if I decide I want to be an assassin-cartographer-dancer-pastry chef who lives only to stalk and kill interior decorators, then that's who I want to be, even if it takes me four years to max all the skills and everyone else thinks I'm freaking nuts. -Madimorga-

I wonder what would Russians say to this.

now thats some Nordic stereotyping
There's also Flesh Gordon.
Isn't having dark hair and brown eyes dominant genes? That is, won't blonde haired blue eyed people eventually be exctinct anyways?
:P
Needs to get that fifth star back.
Really? This thread does injustice to the real biases that are out there.
Very, very few people are going to be biased against a blue-eyed blond.

If you want to make something cool, make the hero a minority.
Karate Kid? It's cool now, because the "Kid" is a minority.
The new Spider Man comic? Spider Man was white and boring. But now he's cool.
He wants Flash Gordon all to himself.

Drago disagree!!!
Why? They don't have souls.
