I've loved Tara King ever since I first saw her back in 1986 or whenever it was. She wasn't always blessed with sympathetic writing but Linda Thorson makes her so loveable. I love that she can be truly kooky and eccentric and have fun with the role.

It was tough though as I also love Purdey but for me she comes alive when paired with Gambit - they are one in my eyes.

Purdey is a much more engaging character than Tara for me. I agree with Rich that she's the best thing about TNA.

Purdey is undoubtedly the best feature of TNA. However, I still perfer Tara. She was just so natural and unpretentious.

I think Purdey is the character Tara should have been.

Tara was a bit inconsistant. Purdey was well-rounded, albeit mad as a box of frogs. :lol:

I felt I fully understood Purdey but I still don't really know Tara. I don't think anyone did. I think they hit the ground running when they created Tara and she was a bit all over the place.

A slightly closer call this as these two are my fave Avenger Girl's, but it just had to be Purdey for me - my intro to The Avengers and the first TV beauty I "fell in love" with... ;-)

Just Purdey for me. She's a little bit mad, but good fun. Besides, I love the chemistry between her and Gambit. (Tara and Steed can't top that)

Only one vote separates the two Avenger girls so far. Very close.

Anyone not already voted please do. Image
