Geeky challenge

[drwex]

At dinner discussion last night one of my coworkers asserted that Tony Stark was the only engineer(1) in pop culture who is depicted as attractive. I dispute this, but so far I've only been able to come up with two counter-examples:

1. Kaylee (Firefly)
2. Geordi (ST:TNG) - not my type, but I've definitely heard women say appreciative things about LeVar Burton in that role.

(1) the rules of the game exclude doctors (e.g. Bruce Banner) and straight-up scientists (e.g Jon Osterman/Dr Manhattan from Watchmen).

Help me, oh geeks of my acquaintance. What am I forgetting?

ETA: I think we might include Bruce Wayne/Batman, at least in some incarnations, and MacGuyver. ETA 2: I think Dan Dreiberg from Watchmen also qualifies.

yes, Alec, oops
I think of Crichton as an engineer because he not only came up with the theory but also put together and designed his ship.Maybe not an engineer by title, but certainly by actions and results.

I'm trying to remember whether Crichton is credited with the design of the module. It's definitive that this module is built to "test his theory" which I think makes him more scientist still.
