Alan Ritchson's 'War Machine' vs. Jack Reacher: Who's Tougher?

Alan Ritchson became a household name with Prime Video's Reacher, and his imposing 6'3" stature is now closely tied to that role. He has also played superheroes on Smallville and Titans and appeared in the Fast & Furious universe, but Reacher remains his defining action persona: a former Army Military Police Major who lives nomadically and solves problems on his own terms.

Reacher has repeatedly shown an ability to take a beating and keep fighting. Season 1 included a brutal prison bathroom brawl, and Season 3 staged a nearly 30-minute finale fight against Olivier Richters' 7'2" Paulie that leaves Reacher beaten, thrown and hung before he stages a comeback; he can be bloodied and close to death, yet always gets up.

In Netflix's War Machine Ritchson plays 81, a recruit in the Ranger Assessment and Selection Program determined to become an Army Ranger despite age and past injuries.
