25. Robin (Please don't shoot me, Planet-Man. Robin basically made Batman a game that both me and my younger brother could play. Besides, both BTAS' Robin and Batman Forever's Robin are pretty cool. In his finest moments, Robin doesn't take away from the coolness of the story, he only takes away from the realism.)
24. George Bailey (Atta' boy, Clarence!)
23. Scarlett O'Hara
22. Zack Morris (Such an prominent inspiration to my overall personality during my pre-teen years, it would be a crime not to include him.)
21. Stanley Hudson (Simply the funniest of the 'real' characters on The Office.)
20. Peter Griffin (You think that's bad?!)
19. The Shadow (Beating Zorro and Flash Gordon into this spot. This guy has fast become one of my favourite fictional crimefighters and the influence he had on Batman is pretty staggering.)
18. Brandon Walsh
17. Rocky Balbloa
16. Brodie Bruce (I've decided, after much consideration, that Brodie is my all-time favourite View Askew character, simply because I identify with him so greatly and because if I'm not careful, he's easily the person I could grow up to be.)
15. Jim Halpert
14. Bruce or David Banner/The Incredible Hulk (I love the Hulk in a lot of his incarnations. I hate all the 'Professor/Gray Hulk' crap and the early comics where the Hulk is fairly intelligent and Banner willingly transforms himself with a Gamma Ray Machine aren't what I'm talking about at all.)
13. Dylan McKay
12.
/Logan/Wolverine
11. Alex Murphy/RoboCop (To anyone who hasn't already: Please watch the first movie and only the first movie)
10. Mark Grayson/Invincible
9. Lois Lane
8. The Joker
7. Lex Luthor (In all of his incarnations, for different reasons)
6. James T. Kirk (What the hell is wrong with me not putting JTK in here? :noway: I was considering putting Spock and Bones into a joint position here as well, as the trio are often considered to be almost a single entity in how they play off one another. But I decided against it, because my interest in Kirk just outweighs my interest for the other two.)
5. Chandler Bing (In the early episodes, this is the funniest fictional funnyman, ever)
4. Peter Parker/Spider-Man (To be more specific: From the magical period of 1963 to circa 1989/From the Animated Series of the '90s/From the early days of Ultimate Spider-Man. The movie version of Spidey has no place on this list. He wouldn't even make my Top 1000 list)
3. James Bond (particularly the literary 007 and the movie character played by Connery, Dalton and Daniel Craig)
2. Clark Kent/Superman
1. Batman/Bruce Wayne
