Doctor Zachary Smith — A Tribute to a Campy Coward

Dr. Zachary Smith, interpreted by the celebrated actor Jonathan Harris, is probably one of the most pusillanimous (not to mention lazy) fictional characters in the history of television shows, and at the same time one of the most charismatic and unforgettable grouches. In the legendary science fiction TV series Lost in Space (1965), he would unscrupulously use his best friend — the young Will Robinson — as a shield against the most ominous intergalactic monsters, imagine that!

Here follows a list of fictional characters lacking courage.

In your opinion, who is the most fainthearted?
