Mike Jones and Indiana Jones

[wren (the bird)]

I just found an interesting parallel between these two characters.
Besides sharing last names, they both have signature weapons, the
whip and yoyo, both have an elder with an interest in archaelogy,
Jones Sr. and Dr. Jones, both plots have comic aspects to them
but are also epic.

There could be more to it, or maybe I'm over stretching
but I thought I would share the thought.

This has been discussed, albeit briefly, on the forum here.

Some other parallels:

The MASSIVE Bowling ball rocks that try to kill them in the caverns (they're in Chapter 5 in ST)
The whole searching for treasure, encountering lost civilizations business
A family member is missing and gotta be found (Indy's Dad and Mike's Uncle... who actually bear some similarities between themselves now that I think about it)
THEY'RE OUT TO SAVE THE WORLD!

What other fictional characters have a shared identity with Mike Jones?
