But if you cross him and fall into his bad books, he will hunt you down till the end of the world. A man who can single-handedly kill a gang of assassins with merely a pencil and not shed a drop of sweat is bound to be feared and respected.
3. Iron Man – MCU
The world hasn’t seen such an insane and passionate admiration for a character. Without any hard efforts of massive action or style, Tony Stark aka Iron Man has won hearts by being himself.

When he sacrificed his life in Avengers: Endgame, everyone from young and old, to men and women was in tears.
4. Ethan Hunt – Mission: Impossible Franchise
The most popular movie character is the action star from Mission: Impossible. His fandom ranges from young to old. He is invincible and can get out of any situation. Experience, fitness, calculative mind and bravery allow the top-secret agent to take up the most impossible and dangerous task. If you had to name one character that always puts you on the edge of the seats, it would be Ethan. For over 20 years, he has retained his top spot and has gained more fans over the years.
5. James Bond
An unconventional Secret Intelligence agent whose swag is enough to woo the audience. The super classy agent is not just intelligent but is also gifted with wisdom which allows him to have a heart and execute his plans sensibly.
6. Thor – MCU
God of Thunder with unfathomable strength and endurance is bound to be on this list. He is a fan-favorite character and his figurine can be found in most of the kids’ rooms. This popular MCU character is defined by valiance and is worthy of the Mjolnir.
7. Batman – Batman Begins Franchise
A flawed superhero that is highly relatable to fans! Unlike Superman who was born with powers, Batman worked hard to make himself what he is today. He had a dark past but then he rose from those wounds and ashes to become one of the most formidable heroes. He watched everyone from the shadows. Despite being a common human, there is nothing impossible for him as he can even make Superman bleed.
8. Harry Potter

9. Captain America – MCU
Captain America is the nicest Avenger on the team who runs on high morals and principles. The soldier sacrificed his happiness and the chance to be with his love for his duty up until Endgame. After Thor, Captain is the worthy Avenger who can wield the Mjolnir. No good adjectives are enough to describe him. Though the super-soldier serum made invincible it was his courage and love for the nation that made him a superhero.
10. Professor Snape – Harry Potter Franchise
The second most talked about character in the Harry Potter Franchise is Professor Snape. Though he came across as an anti-hero at first eventually we learned that he was the real hero. Even though Lily broke his heart for James who bullied him at school, it didn’t stop him from caring about Harry as he saw Lily in his eyes. Some of his quotes still resonate in our ears.
