This powerful man was behind so many miracles I couldn't read the entire list. But I'm in particular awe he once used duct tape to disrupt all police radios in a one mile radius.

Note: I almost did not post this. MacGyver-worship predates the Internet, and is, in a general sense, so clichéd and potentially annoying as to be on par with that drunk jackass who tries to convince you of the genius of Led Zeppelin or Picasso. Or rather, the drunker jackass who agrees whole-heartedly with that first drunk jackass, and isn't sure why you won't get with the program.

The list was, however, too difficult to pass up, as it related so directly to past posts both old and new.

I also liked how, at least in the early episodes, the authors of the list manage to refrain from giving away any large plot points that would give context to MacGyver's miracles, leaving the reader to ponder the pure wonder of his feats of practically omniscient ingenuity. This scientific rigor seems to break down quickly, unfortunately.

Anyone catch the mythbusters episode where they tried to re-enact His miracles? It was pretty amazing. His grace is so Awesome that he actually allowed them to re-enact His miracles.

Now that I think about it, the character Larry the Pathetic Fallacy from Jack of Fables is sort of a MacGyverian archetype, with the ability to imbue the objects he focuses on with supernatural power thus aiding him in his activities. I believe there must be more of these MacGyverian types out there. Can anyone spot them?
