My top 15 Fictional characters

A long time ago, I have written my top historical warriors and I wanted to do something similair. After thinking for a time, I decided what I should do.
Now I will name my top 15 fictional persons that I ever came across

Please note:
I made this list with all the fictional characters I find awesome
you can comment wherever you agree or not but please keep it polite
I will not change anything here only you like someone better who is lower on the list.

My top 15 fictional characters




15. Spongebob Squarepants

I have always been a fan of slapstick humor. The way one can peform comedy without uttering a word is briljant. Spongebob is one of the very few cartoons of today who have mastered this.That everybody talks makes the cartoon even better. There are few cartoons that are actually fun to watch nowadays but Spongebob squarepants is among them. Apart from the over the top humor, I also like the characters, who are all good designed, with a great background and a interesting personality. Whatever it is the money hungry mr. Craps, the stupid Patrick or even the grumpy Squidward. Everyone is great in their own way. The sponge himself is the best character of all. Childish, always happy and in for some fun. he also likes the small things in life, which to my opinion is very important. A deserved spot on my list.



14. Donald Duck

As I have said previously, I am a fan of slapstick comedy. Spongebob is good at it but not as good as Donald Duck. He has been in comics, movies and other media before I was born but even to this day, we can enjoy the antics of the always unlucky, poor duck with a anger problem. He is maybe the personality of the working man and he manages to make people laugh without saying little that someone can understand. I can even say that to this day, i am a weekly reader of the donald duck magazine and I will keep on reading it for years to come.


13. Ryu Hayabusa

I can't say that I am a fan of ninja's. This is mostly because of the fanboys who make this warrior out as the immortal and unbeatable power of the east. Ryu on the other hand is a exception. The first time I played as Ryu, it was in dead or alive and he became instantly my favorite character in that roster. It did not take long for me to buy my first ninja gaiden game and I have enjoyed Ryu ever since. This ninja, who fights for his village, has a huge arsenal of weapons and great ninpo powers. He is named the best fictional ninja in severeal magazines and sites. This is for a reason, he truely is a awesome ninja 


12. Hadrian Blackwater

Someone I came across very recently, Hadrian Blackwater deserves respect. This rather unknown warrior appeares in the books of Michael Sullivan.  The books tell the tale of a elvish assasin and a mercenary, who carries three swords of which one is a one and a half hander. Hadrian is the last of the two. He first started in the books as a mercenary,who has fought in countless wars and is seen as one of the best fighters because of his ancient and secret fighting style, but both he and the reader find out in the later books that he is decendend of a line of guardians of a ancient emperor. hadrian stands out as a cool fighter, who keeps his sense of humor in the most problematic of times. He really deserves more fans then he now has and could go fight some of the better known fictional warriors around.


11. V

Remember, remember the fifth of november. The day of the gunpowder treason and plot. I know of no reason why the gunpowder treason should ever be forgot.
This comic book character, who turned into a awesome movie character is true face of revenge. The guy is the face of a ideal  and managed to set a whole city against the power who controlled them with fear. you cannot scare a idea, neither can you shoot one. That is why V will always survive in one incarnation or another and will always show those in charge that you should treat those below as you would like to be treated yourself.
Ever since I first saw the movie, it became one of my all time favorites as it shows how a man can fall and how he can rise.


10. Michael Stone

Another character that most people have not heard about. Michael Stone is the lead character in the BBC serie Hustle.
Hustle is about a group of con artists who con and make money of those who have earned their richess without having respect for others and even crushing people in their ways. What I like at this group of hustles is that altough they take money from the rich, they only give it away very rarely and mostly spend the money on themselfs. Michael Stone, better known as Micky Briggs is the leader of the crew. A coolheaded guy, who always has a plan, a backup plan and a plan if the back up plan fails. He never lets anything go on the guess and works in a structured manner. 
Mickey is unstoppable and has worked with the police, MI6, gangs and other con artists. It is almost an honour to be robbed by him and his gang. I can tell anyone to watch the serie as soon as possible because this guy rules.


9. Gambit

Almost everybody likes the X-men. These cool superpowered mutants, who fight the evil Magneto and save those who hate them. Most of the people are big fans of Wolverine or professor X. My favorite is Gambit. This staff fighting guy can explode objects by touching them. He is a rogue among the X-men, sometimes fighting for them, sometimes against them and sometimes not at all. I like the fact that he is a wild factor, I love his hate relationship with wolverine and he has the most awesome powers of all. Gambit is someone you do not want to mess with or play card with. He is a mutant.


8. Scorpion

Mortal Kombat!!!
Mortal kombat is my favorite fighting game series. I like the bloody unrealistic fighting where five spines get broken per match. The mortal kombat fans are usually devided on who is their favorite. Some choose the ice cold Sub- Zero while others prefer Scorpion. I am on the Scorpion side. With his burning skull that can spew fire, his devastating swords, and his deadly chains, he is a scary undead warrior. What helped me like him is the fact that he uses Hapkido in his battle styles, a martial art that I have done myself for 8 years. 
no matter if you like mortal kombat or not, you should like Scorpion, the hellfire fighter and his quest to avenge his clan.
One last thing I like about him is that in a world of good and evil, he is neutral. He fights on what side that suits him best and i like that because not everything is good or evil. There is always that grey area in the middle.


7. Red

For those of you who do not know me, I am a huge pokemon fan.
I could have gone with my favorite pokemon, which is Mewtwo but instead I am going with the best trainer of them all. Red is everything that ash is not. I loved him ever since i was a 10 year old boy who first picked up the original pokemon blue. I followed the manga and saw the trainer become the best pokemon trainer in the world. Even know, while there are a lot of strong trainers in the manga, Red remains the best.
Of all this pokemon, the poliwrath and venusaur stand out the most as powerhouses who can break a opponent. If I ever come across a good opponent of him, I will do a match.


6. Davy Jones

What can I say about Davy Jones? Enough.
First of all, his ship is called the Flying Dutchman. The dutchman is a ship in dutch legends who is said to make ships dissapear. Secondly the looks. Jones looks awesome, the ship looks awesome and the crew looks really great. You should not mess with these undead pirates as they will take your life. Lastly, there is the giant squid. I have said enough.


5. Remus Lupin 

Everybody who likes Harry Potter, has a favorite character. For some it is Harry himself. others prefer Dumbeldore, Snape or Sirius Black. A few even like Draco Malfroy. I however have always been a fan of Remus Lupin ever since he first appeared in the third book. He is a cool guy, who has humor, knows his magic and is shunned by society. That the guy is also a werewolf is just icing on the cake as werewolfs are my favorite creatures. Lupin may look like a man you can just push aside, he will kick your arse in so many ways that you regret ever having met him. I was also very sad when he died at the end of the last book. At least his death was not in vane. Another thing about Remus that I enjoy every time is that his name is delivered from the roman saga of the creation of Rome. Remus and Romulus had been brought up by wolfs and created Rome.


4. Yoda

A small green muppet, who can crush you with only waving his hands. Yoda is one of the greatest jedi who has ever lived. This master has a contact with every living being and is strictly vegetatian. The movies show a old and wise man while the books show a fun loving master who used the force to steal a hamburger from a small boy and said that he would step to the dark side if count Dooku could bring him a rose, ignoring wealth and power. There is not much more i can say about him other then that he is the best character that Star wars has brought forth.



3. Batman

My top three starts off well with one of my all time favorite superheroes. I am talking about the man in the bat costume. Batman showed that you do not need superpowers to belong with the best. He also used fear to his advantage and goes where no other superhero dares to go. Batman has has some setbacks in movies but luckely, the last few years, there has been some great movies about him and ofcourse the Arkham asylum and Arkham city games. Batman plans everything ahead and is one of the most respected Dc heroes for a reason. 
He is the Batman


2. Zorro

What is better then the Batman? The guy that inspired of the creation of Batman. I am talking about Zorro.
Don Diego the la Vega is the man behind the mask who protects the poor with his awesome rapierskills. Having a blind man as sidekick, he inspires and brings peace in a land where power rules. Zorro is a bit of a forgotten hero as there has not been any games or films about him for some time now but he still is one of the greatest and if anybody deserves a movie, it is this guy. 
Zorro, with his famous Z style cut to the chest has risen already if i am completely honest. He was the inspiration of batman and that can be shown if you look what they have in commen. Zorro, a great number two on my list. 


1. King Arthur

There have been a lot of books and movies about this guy. Some of them were good, others were just plain bad. However, the original story remains the best. King Arthur is the embodiement of a Knight. loyal, proud, fierce and brave. All packed in one man. As somebody who practises swordfighting myself, I get inspired by Arthur. He also did something that few fictional characters ever managed. he made real life knights fight with honour and respect. After his stories came out, the real knights started to act as king Arthur has done in the stories and these knights created a safer place to be. Every story is likable. 
Arthur is by a long shot not perfect. In his stories, there are more handsome knights, more holy warriors and even smarter men but Arthur managed to gain the respect of all of them. 
King Arthur, My favorite fictional character.
