I only didn't include him because he didn't have a super-name. I guess maybe The Leader. Honestly having a super-name is my #1 consideration for producing entries to these lists.

Comic book villains were directly inspired by the nazis, that's why they look similar. Also the comic book industry is, or at least used to be more Jewish than Hollywood. Batman, Superman, X-Men, Spider Man, etc, all created by Jews.

The de' Medici family

Einstein

You decide for yourself

If we're counting borderline fictional / possibly historic but probably not people, then I'll add:

>Robin Hood

>Santa Klaus

Unrelated, but also just thought of:

>Billy the Kid
>Doc Holliday

Superhero. The guy has a Batman tier moment, and decides to use his fists to dispense justice in a lawless town.He's almost mythic, because no one really knows his roots.

It's acceptable but you have to call him by his super-name Bear River. I can't emphasize enough how important the super-name requirement is.

Garibaldi is definitely up there as a superhero. Can't put my finger on which one, but everything about his life just screams of epic badassry for a noble dream: The Unification of the Italian lands and peoples.
