Who is the best fictional father?

Weapon: Saber Blade
When I was last at work, I got talking with one of my friends/coworkers who brought up the Disney movie The Lion King. As we were talking, he mentioned that he was of the opinion that Mufasa is the best father character of all fiction.

Now I wasn't quite in disagreement, as Mufasa is indeed a great father figure. But to label him as the best fictional father ever is quite a bold statement indeed. Since then, I've been trying to think of who else might be the best fictional father and see if that character might be better than Mufasa.

Thus far, I've got nothing (it's about 1am right now, so I'm tired I-) ). I mentioned this to another coworker at work and he suggested Liam Neeson's character from the film Taken, whom I think is also a good choice. But I'm not certain if he's better than Mufasa, or if there's an even better choice.

So, I turn to the Internet for assistance. Who would you say is the best fictional father and why?

Jonathan Kent. Not his actual father, and Iv'e only ever watched Smallville, but a good father none the less. Even if he isnt biological.

Even though Al Bundy is the most entertaining, I'm going with Red Forman. He was tough but fair, and portrayed fatherhood as it is in real life. A fictional character, but strong role model qualities.

Hey, I asked this on other sites and got some pretty good responses. Atticus Finch, Marlin from Finding Nemo, Heathcliff Huxtable, Captain Sisko from Star Trek: DS9, and even God (though, many consider him nonficitional). ;)

What's funny is my friend considered Vader to be the worst father, and noted the irony in James Earl Jones having voiced both the best and worst fathers in his opinion. :-B
