John Rambo

"There's John Rambo! He's not a boxer like Rocky Balboa... but he's just an ordinary minigunner. Famous for using a minigun, can I use it for mysself... even him?"

--Su Ji-Hoon, Rambo in the Jungle

John Rambo is the main protagonist of the Rambo film series and David Morell's novel First Blood. A former Vietnam veteran and highly skilled Green Beret, Rambo returned from the war as a decorated, but disturbed hero. He is filled with self-loathing and hates killing, but is willing to use his skills to protect those close to him. This is the general plot line of the three First Blood sequels. The main character of the series, Rambo appears in all the films. The only character to come close to this is Sam Trautman, his mentor and commander in Vietnam.

The way the character fights, is in some details (such as weapons and modus operandi) based on soldiers that fought anti-guerrilla warfare during the Vietnam War.

In When the Cold Breeze Blows Away, he is the leader of Team Rambo, and is also a brawler and a minigunner, three in one.
