71. Ra's al Ghul / Rā's al Ghūl (Batman)
From Wikipedia
Ra's al Ghul was several centuries old before he ever encountered Batman. Replenishing his aged, injured, or dead body with a bath in a Lazarus Pit, Ra's has survived through the centuries, all the while accumulating wealth, knowledge, and power. Ra's is a criminal and scientific genius, particularly in the field of alchemy. He also rivals Batman in hand-to-hand combat and sword fighting and was the co leader of the League of Assassins. He is always accompanied by a servant known as Ubu, who is also an especially dangerous fighter. Rather than being a single individual, Ubu is actually a title held by a line of replaceable servants.
When a person uses a Lazarus Pit, the person emerges temporarily insane. It has always been implied that repeated use of the Lazarus Pit could have subtle lasting effects, and no one has used as many Lazarus Pits as has Ra's. It isn't difficult to conjecture that use of the Lazarus Pits may have driven Ra's completely insane.
Ra's' goal is a world in perfect environmental balance, a goal he will achieve at any cost. He believes that the best way to do so is to eliminate most of humanity. That he has the means to achieve his goal makes him extremely dangerous and brings him into frequent conflict with Batman. Ra's usually tries to assault the world's human populace with a biological weapon, such as a genetically-engineered virus.
Ra's is among Batman's most formidable foes. Not only can he physically and mentally challenge "the Detective" (the name by which Ra's always refers to Batman), but he has also deduced Batman's secret identity.

75. Han Solo
Han Solo (born 29 BBY) is a character in the fictional Star Wars universe. He was played by Harrison Ford in all the Star Wars films. Solo plays a major role in the Star Wars saga, moving from a reluctant, selfish participant to a central figure over the course of the first three released Star Wars films (A New Hope, The Empire Strikes Back, and Return of the Jedi.) Star Wars creator George Lucas describes him as "a loner who realizes the importance of being part of a group and helping for the common good."

Jonah Hex is a bounty hunter whose face bears a scar from a hot tomahawk, and whose attitude is fittingly surly and cynical, although tempered with a personal code of honor.
He had a wild and dangerous life with some happiness amidst the misfortune. He traveled in time and his corpse ended up as a circus exhibit.

78 The Lone Ranger
'Who was that masked man?'
The Lone Ranger was a popular radio program from 1933 to 1954. It also inspired numerous comic books, two movie serials, books, a television series (1949-1957) starring Clayton Moore as the Lone Ranger and several animated cartoon series.
'Hi Ho Silver, Away!!'
The Lone Ranger's real name was Reid (first name never firmly established). A member of the famed Texas Rangers, he was ambushed with a group of other Rangers by a group of criminals led by Butch Cavindish. Reid barely survived, and was left for dead in the wild, but was saved by Tonto, a native American and a childhood friend of Reid. Tonto nurses Reid back to heath. The two become an inseparable pair, devoted to fighting injustice and seeking revenge on Cavindish. Reid becomes the masked hero 'The Lone Ranger'. He finds his horse, Silver, and adopts the use of silver bullets (making them bullets of justice).
