It will also be nice to see a fellow INTJ go through this. I originally wasn't one myself, was INTP, but by the end of AM6 I turned INTJ. Also, I hear you about the finding good alpha examples. Heck, I would even say in a lot of Fictional media that most male lead characters seem to be very Beta. Though I do believe you might be able to pick up certain traits of the fictional characters you named. I felt like during AM6 I kinda of had that Bruce Wayne Drive of Focusing on myself and my mission. Also, from my understanding, when Robbie Downie Jr plays Tony stark hes not really acting, its his real personality from what I heard. I remember him being typed as a ENTP. One of my goals when I started WM2 was to kinda of have that Tony stark type persona, though since I'm a INTJ now I have this feeling that by the end of WM2 I'm going to be a ENTJ (Which I'm totally ok with as well). Its funny that you mention James Bond because every time I think of Sex Magnet I instantly think of James Bond as the personification of what that program is trying to achieve.
I'm also curious what will happen to my personality. I found MBTI to be simple and yet very accurate system to measure that, and I'll certainly do the test again at the end of AM run. Anyhow INTJ descriptions often fascinated me - we are rare, very intelligent and we have qualities that makes us both heroes and villains of many stories.
Problem with fantasy characters is that their enemies have faces. They are well defined. It's easy to defeat Joker or Loki or whoever. We don't have anything to fight but ourselves, our limitations and believes. That's why we find those heroes so appealing - they are simple and their path, even if rough and hard, is clear. In real world nothing is clear, every choice creates ten others and there is no way to look at the last page to see the result.
For not by numbers of men, nor by measure of body, but by valor of soul is war to be decided.
