Greatest Character Showdown! (Nominations CLOSED)

[Tonguez]

Solomon Kane is a somber and gloomy man of pale face and cold eyes, all of it shadowed by a slouch hat. He is dressed entirely in black and his weaponry consists of a rapier, a dagger and a pair of flintlock pistols. He holds a voodoo staff that serves as a protection against evil (which he later discovers is the mythical Staff of Solomon, a talisman older than the earth and unimaginably powerful, much more so than even his friend N'Longa knew).
Solomon Kane is the greatest of Robert E Howards creations

41. Gul Dukat

This Star Trek: Deep Space 9 villian was there from the very beginning to the very end. Sometimes almost an anti-hero, his relationship with the DS9 officers often forced them to work together. In fact, his desire for acceptance, forgiveness, and understanding for his past deeds was often a motivating force for him. Even though he had overseen the deaths of millions, he always claimed that he was a merciful man.

Sometimes charming, sometimes compassionate, and always cunning, this villian had many faces.

43. Inspector Jacques Clouseau

Clouseau is a bumbling detective who is given the case to find the valuable Pink Panther, the largest diamond in the world.

From wikipedia: Sellers said in several interviews that the secret of Clouseau's character was his tremendous ego. His favorite example of Clouseau's ego was whenever someone said, "Phone call for Inspector Clouseau", Clouseau would reply, "Ah yes, that would be for ME." Sellers maintained that Clouseau's ego is what made the character's klutziness funnier because of his quest to remain elegant and refined while causing chaos everywhere he turned.

44 R2 D2

One of four characters who appeared in all 6 Star Wars episodes, 'Artoo's' universally-recognizable beeps and whistles, while never understood word for word, always seemed clearly understandable.

45. Gaston

Gaston, star of Disney's Beauty and the Beast, was a misunderstood man who was killed in his quest to marry his true love, Belle. He knew Belle was the woman for him because, in his words, "Here in town there's only she, who is beautiful as me, so I'm making plans to woo and marry Belle." Gaston may have had some old-fashioned notions, he didn't think women should read and that his wife should massage his feet while roasting his latest kill over the fire, but he wasn't a bad person. He was the greatest hunter in the world and used antlers in all of his decorating. He had a fantastic work out regimen that included eating four dozen eggs a day, which made him roughly the size of a barge. Sadly, Gaston left this mortal coil far too early when the savage Beast killed him while he tried to rescue Belle from the creature's castle. The world will mourn the passage of this primeval man.
