Main character of the Doctor Who spin-off Torchwood. First appears in the Doctor Who two-part story The Empty Child and The Doctor Dances. Which I very highly recommend, by the way. (This is from the series when the Doctor is played by the bloke who plays Claude - the invisible man - from Heroes). Anyway... Jack Harkness will flirt with anything: man, woman, robot, you name it. I haven't seen much of Torchwood yet, but in Doctor Who he's all talk.
Anyway, as far as steam-punk that I think you'd actually like a lot goes... I'd recommend the web-comic Girl Genius, if you aren't familiar with it already. Wacky steam-punk setting, lots of mad, mad, mad science and a titular lead character who kicks arse with just her brain.
(Mark Gatiss has also written for Doctor Who, but that's not really considered all that special in Britain; Doctor Who is the sort of thing that everybody gets involved with in some way, sooner or later... e.g. Douglas Adams, Paul Cornell, Zoe Wanamaker, Derek Jacobi...)
