In Disney's "John Carter," a Civil War soldier is mysteriously whisked away to the red planet of Mars, and stuck in the middle of an inter-species battle for supremacy. But let's get to the really important matter at hand: Taylor Kitsch is shirtless for most of the movie. For the "Friday Night Lights" hunk to fit in with his new four-armed friends, he's got to drop his pants and put on the loincloth. It's no wonder he catches the eye of the too-hot-for-Earth Princess Deeja (Lynn Collins), whose leather-clad ensemble covers just enough naughty bits to avoid an "adults only" rating.
John Carter and the Martian inhabitants are not the first sci-fi characters to make audiences hot under the collar with their barley-there outfits. There's a galaxy full of humans, aliens and robots that show more than a little skin, while they're busy saving/blowing up the world.
To celebrate the universe's best exposed midriffs, loincloths and metal underwear, we count down the sexiest characters in sci-fi movie history.

“John Carter” was surprisingly a very good movie. I first became interested in the movie because the story dates back to a series of stories written by the great Edgar Rice Burroughs who also wrote the original "Tarzan the ape man" book.

I started kindergarten in 1941 - was beginning reading Amazing Stories pulp magazines by third grade, and 1930s material was still available. I, like many of my generation, shiver when I think of what got thrown out in the trash during spring cleanings. This "John Carter" absolutely captured the cover art on the Pulp Magazines and the story line and characterization were a very good translation of the original material! Cliches abound, but they were NOT cliches when they were written I don't remember that goofy pet dog, though. I guess Disney has to be Disney and will always try to gild the lilly.
