Okay, maybe you are right, sorry for pointless nitpicking.

54. Honor Harrington
Honor Harrington the heroine of a series of science fiction books set in the "Honorverse", written by David Weber and published by Baen Books. An officer in a star fleet known as the Royal Manticoran Navy, Harrington bears a striking professional resemblance to both the real life Admiral Lord Nelson and the composite character Horatio Hornblower. Like Nelson, she loses an eye and an arm in combat; her initials are the same as Hornblower's; and like both officers, she has a genius for command and becomes a living legend. These are fitting parallels in that during much of Harrington's career her native Star Kingdom of Manticore is at war with the neighboring People's Republic of Haven, a conflict that bears more than passing resemblance to the antagonism between the British Empire and France during the Napoleonic Wars.

55. Carl Kolchak
Carl Kolchak, an investigative reporter for the Independent News Service in Chicago. Kolchak has a first-rate knack for seeking out the truth, no matter how unlikely it might be. More often than not, the truth proves to be positively bizarre: Vampires, Indian spirits, werewolves, vengeful Greek goddesses, robots, reptiles and even space aliens often turn out to be the culprits he uncovers.

#57 - Odysseus - Homer's "The Odyssey"
Quick-witted and crafty (remember the Trojan Horse?), and ruthless as well, this versatile playboy of the Mediterranean world was irresistible to human women and goddesses alike. And who else could shoot an arrow through 12 axes? His 3000-year cultural odyssey has continued all the way to 20th century Dublin, guided by the pen of James Joyce.

#58 - Don Quixote - Man of La Mancha
A hero in his own mind, he has been perhaps the most beloved character of the novel. Miguel de Unamuno thought Quixote was more real than his creator, Cervantes! The loquacious Don and his sidekick Sancho Panza have spawned many renowned duos, from Holmes and Watson to Batman and Robin. Lance drawn, tilting at windmills, Quixote’s gentle madness sprang from his own obsession with the fictions he read. He drew many others into his fantasy world—and still does.

59- Spike---
Out of all the heroes on buffy, he's the only one who has not only redeemed himself, but sacrificed his life to save the world. Even Buffy didn't do it (dying only to save her sister (and don't even mention that wierd season two death)) After being ressurected, he became apart of another apolocolypse and we can only guess that he saved the world or died trying.
