88 The Wicked Witch of the West

I'll get you my pretty...

The main villain from Frank Baum's The Wizard of Oz, the Wicked Witch of the West is the sister of the Witch of the East, who was killed by the story's heroine Dorothy near the beginning of the story. Dorothy takes the ruby slippers, a pair of magic shoes, from the Witch of the East. Throughout the rest of the story, the Witch of the West obsessively harrasses Dorothy with her magic powers and servants in attempts to get the slippers from Dorothy.

Master Chief

Master Chief Petty Officer Spartan John-117 (alternatively known by his rank, Master Chief or John-117; to the Covenant, as the Demon)

The Master Chief is a SPARTAN-II Super Soldier, a genetically and cybernetically augmented warrior designed to put down rebels and insurgents within the United Nations Space Command. When the powerful alien empire known as the Covenant attacked, the Master Chief and the other Spartans had a priority shift. Extensive surgical alteration coupled with a ruthless lifelong training regimen has resulted in Master Chief being significantly stronger than even the strongest natural human, and his strength and fighting ability are further augmented by the advanced MJOLNIR power armor he wears.

The Master Chief stands 7 feet tall and weighs approximately 'half a ton' in full battle armor.

93. Odysseus

From Wikipedia:

He is the central character of Homer's Odyssey, renowned for his guile and resourcefulness, and a major character in the Iliad. He is most famous for the ten years it took him to return home from the Trojan War. Odysseus was the king of Ithaca, husband of Penelope and father of Telemachus, and son of Laertes and Anticlea, though some sources, prominent among them Iphigenia at Aulis by Euripides, give Sisyphus as his father.

#94 The Raven

From "The Raven" by Edgar Allan Poe

Open here i flung the shutter, when, with many a flirt and flutter,
In there stepped a stately Raven of the saintly days of yore;
Not the least obeisance made he; not a minute stopped or stayed he;
But, with mien of lord or lady, perched above my chamber door--
Perched upon a bust of Pallas just a bove my chamber door--
Perched, and sat, and nothing more.

Then this ebony bird beguiling my sad fancy into smiling,
By the grave and stern decorum of the countenance it wore,
"Though thy crest be shorn and shaven, thou," I said, "art sure no craven,
Ghastly grim and ancient Raven wandering from the Nightly shore--
Tell me what thy lordly name is on the Night's Plutonian shore!"
Quoth the Raven, "Nevermore."

Temple, no offense man but couldn't you have chosen a different animal? What about a dragon? (I mean that's semi-not real)

95 Spider-Man

I'm a little surpised that there haven't been any Marvel characters yet, so here's one who's fairly well-known.

96. King Lear

The aging king of Britain and the protagonist of the play. Lear is used to enjoying absolute power and to being flattered, and he does not respond well to being contradicted or challenged. At the beginning of the play, his values are notably hollow—he prioritizes the appearance of love over actual devotion and wishes to maintain the power of a king while unburdening himself of the responsibility. Nevertheless, he inspires loyalty in subjects such as Gloucester, Kent, Cordelia, and Edgar, all of whom risk their lives for him.
