Characters, who are the most iconic in their genres, and {{Most Triumphant Example}}s of the tropes they embody.
Many of them also tend to spawn a whole FountainOfExpies and CaptainErsatz imitations.
----
'''Ernst Stavro Blofeld'''\\
Perhaps the most well known and recognizable Bond Villain.
* Can you say AustinPowers?
'''JamesBond'''\\
The British superspy (Scottish-Swiss, not English, by the way) has defined [[TuxedoAndMartini an entire approach]] to SpyFiction. The tuxedo is highly associated with Mr. Bond. Many other works of spy fiction are direct reactions to him.
* ''TheManFromUNCLE''
* ''Our Man Flint''
* ''The Second Best Secret Agent in the Whole World''
'''[[TheCabinetOfDrCaligari Cesare]]'''
* [[LooksLikeCesare Looks Like Himself]]
* BrainwashedAndCrazy
* Kills by ShadowDiscretionShot
'''[[TheSilenceOfTheLambs Dr. Hannibal Lecter]]'''
* AffablyEvil MagnificentBastard who pulls a XanatosGambit every thirty seconds
* Most influential SerialKiller since Hans Beckert
* [[ImAHumanitarian He will eat you]]
'''{{Superman}}'''\\
Spawned the entire SuperHero genre.
'''{{Batman}}'''\\
Continued what Superman started and popularized the BadAssNormal and RichIdiotWithNoDayJob for the twentieth century.
'''[[{{Neon Genesis Evangelion}} Rei Ayanami]]'''\\
Intended to invoke the UncannyValley but [[{{Understatement}} failed]] for many viewers, instead effectively inventing (or at least [[TropeCodifier popularizing]]) the EmotionlessGirl trope and helping to create the concept of {{Moe}}. The number of Rei-inspired WhiteHairedPrettyGirl MysteriousWaif ExtremeDoormat BandageBabe {{Emotionless Girl}}s that find their way into anime rival the {{Char Clone}}s[[hottip:*:[[spoiler:[[CloningBlues Which is rather hilariously appropriate]]]]]]. She was not known as the Premium Girl for nothing when she was in her prime.
'''[[CharClone Char Aznable]]''' of ''MobileSuitGundam''. Inspired a whole slew of characters with at least some of the following characteristics:
* [[BlondGuysAreEvil Blond]] or [[WhiteHairedPrettyBoy White hair]]
* [[MaskPower Mask]] or [[CoolShades sunglasses]]
* {{Ace pilot}}
* [[LawOfChromaticSuperiority Red]] [[HumongousMecha mecha]]
* [[HiddenAgendaVillain Works for the bad guys, but has his own agenda]]
* [[MemeticMutation Is a CHAAAAAAAR!]]
'''SherlockHolmes'''
Popularised the entire genre of gentlemen detectives, leading to later characters like Hercule Poirot and Lord Peter Wimsey. The Master in ''DoctorWho'' was inspired by Moriarty, while the concept of TheWatson is widely used indeed.
'''Sephiroth''' of ''FinalFantasyVII'', while hardly the first WhiteHairedPrettyBoy, did inspire a whole slew of imitators trying to get the same sort of MultipleDemographicAppeal.
'''Darth Vader''' of ''StarWars'' fame has spawned a fair few parodies and imitators. Was himself in many ways [[FantasticFour Dr. Doom]] InSPACE!.
'''Fu Manchu'''- [[YellowPeril for all the wrong reasons]].
'''Tsukino Usagi'''. However annoying it is for every other MagicalGirl show, no matter what it's like, to be called a ''SailorMoon'' ripoff, one must admit that there are a lot of heroines who have appeared since with the following traits:
* TheDitz
* GirlishPigtails (usually [[HairOfGold blonde]]; [[RoseHairedGirl pink]], being Usagi's theme colour and the hair colour of her KidFromTheFuture, is the next most popular colour)
* HeartIsAnAwesomePower
* IJustWantToBeNormal (becoming less popular these days)
* ThisLoserIsYou
* PinkIsForGirls
'''[[LordOfTheRings Sauron]]'''- The EvilOverlord archetype is almost as old as humanity itself, but many modern fantasy Overlords owe quite a bit to this guy, particularly if they:
* Live in an EvilTowerOfOminousness in {{Mordor}}
* Are HeWhoMustNotBeSeen for most or all of the story
* Are [[GodOfEvil dark gods]] or [[DemonLordsAndArchdevils demon kings]] trying to take over the mortal world
* Are [[VoluntaryShapeshifting shapeshifters]]
* Use an ArtifactOfDoom, which may double as a SoulJar
* [[EvilCannotComprehendGood Cannot comprehend good]]
'''KingKong'''\\
May be the single most referenced character who is not technically in the public domain, it hasn't stopped many from copying him. (Probably because it's rather difficult to copyright a giant ape, whether we all know who it is or not)
* Also when Universal Studios famously sued Nintendo over ''DonkeyKong'', they lost because they'd previously successfully argued a giant ape climbing a building was a public domain.
'''ConanTheBarbarian'''\\
The most well known BarbarianHero, whenever he's brought to pulps, paperback novels, comics or motion pictures, he always brings with him a slew of imitators.
'''WonderWoman'''\\
One of the earliest female superheroes, and by far the most famous. In fact, very few women were action heroes in any capacity before her. Wonder Woman has existed as both a feminist icon and a sex symbol for decades.
'''IncredibleHulk'''\\
Combined DrJeckyllAndMrHyde and superheroics in strange, angst-filled concoction. Possibly opened a wider door on how bizarre protagonists could look, the character has also become a shorthand for losing one's temper. "Hulking out" has often been referred to when someone's about to lose it.
'''SpiderMan''' \\
A very iconic character who has oddly enough, spawned relatively little imitators from a ''cosmetic'' standpoint. However, where Peter Parker has changed the game is the idea of a young hero who's ''not'' a sidekick and has worries like troubles with money was extremely novel, and had changed superheroes completely.
'''[[DollarsTrilogy The Man With No Name]]'''\\
How much is the character and how much is Clint Eastwood's persona is up for debate, but the gritty hero of the SpaghettiWestern series had drastically reinvented the cowboy, and many Western heroes tend to draw from him--when people make Westerns anymore, that is.
'''[[TheGodfather Don Corleone]]'''\\
The most well known (and imitated) gangster that helped put TheMafia on the pop-culture map forever.
'''{{Rambo}}'''\\
Defined the muscle-bound machine gun-toting action hero of the eighties, and more militant heroes still take cues from him. Interestingly, Rambo as seen in ''First Blood'' was not quite this template.
'''{{Rocky}}''' Balboa\\
Also played by Sylvester Stallone, the boxer featured in six movies, and is probably the most successful film franchise to not be comedy, horror or explictly action. Rocky has become the icon for the underdog.
'''CharliesAngels'''\\
Not one character specifically, the trinity of three beautiful crimefighters has appeared endlessly in media. It usually includes the smart one, the hot-tempered one, and the...blonde one. Interestingly, the three started out as private detectives, but the archetye is usually applied to spies.
'''IndianaJones'''\\
A pastiche of serials from the thirties and forties, the Indiana Jones series so codified the adventure movie, that any film about treasure hunting will be compared to it.
'''[[FridayTheThirteenth Jason Voorhees]]'''\\
While taking cues from [[TexasChainsawMassacre Leatherface]] and Michael Meyers, Jason is arguably the most famous of all the slasher monsters. Any attempt to evoke an 80's horror movie will make sure to give the villain the signature hockey mask.
'''[[DoctorWho The Doctor]]'''\\
An alien time traveller with more than a dash of eccentricity and a dislike for firearms, the Doctor has influenced a number of later works.
'''[[Film/{{Alien}} Ellen Ripley]]'''\\
Very much the first case of ActionGirl as lead that most people knew of who wasn't treated as a sex object (despite being played by SigourneyWeaver) and has influenced a lot of later female action heroes. Also the Xenomorphs, who are often evoked with scary aliens these days.
'''{{Godzilla}}'''\\
THE [[{{Kaiju}} giant monster]] as far as the public is concerned. If there is a giant monster smashing cities--especially Japanese cities, it's a call back to this guy. The number of expys and CaptainErsatz has warranted [[RentAZilla their own trope page]].
