Actually I've heard that the character of Indiana Jones was created by Lucas as a foil to James Bond (He wished to do a bond movie but they wouldn't let him.. so he made Indy, lucky for us). Though I have also heard that Indiana is based on a real person named Richard Haliburton who was in his prime in the early 19oo's
