PeeledBananaThe Top Ten
Forrest Gump is a fictional character who first appears in the 1986 novel by Winston Groom. Forrest Gump also appeared on screen in the 1994 film of the same name directed by Robert Zemeckis. He is a great character, but not the most iconic! - Margarida
Honestly have never seen this character before. - myusernameisthis
Honestly dobt even care about the forests
Forrest Gump is iconic but I wouldn't say he's the most iconic character IN THE WORLD! - Aidanisawesome
Bugs Bunny is an animated cartoon character, created by the staff of Leon Schlesinger Productions (later Warner Bros.) He is one of the most famous cartoon characters, and he is in the show Looney Tunes. His famous quote is "What's up doc?". He is a gray colored bunny with big teeth and big feet. His ...read more. Not as iconic as Mickey in my opinion, but I'd rather watch him than Mickey Mouse just cause I'm tired of him.
yep. - myusernameisthis
2nd? What's up doc?

He is ALWAYS be great in all media: comics, movies, T.V. series, animated series, animated movies, video games, with dozens of different incarnations...

The first animated superhero movie was superman. ...read more. He's the most iconic fictional character in my opinion. Almost everyone around the world knows who Superman is and what he represents. - rapaddict97
He's SUPERMAN! Easily the most iconic character. And to prove it, I'll compare him with the ones currently above him.
Superman (5th) VS Batman (4th): The two big DC superheroes. Superman is more iconic, however, as he kickstarted the superhero genre. Without Superman Batman would not exist.
Superman (5th) VS Mickey Mouse (3rd): Probably the closest comparison here. I'm giving this to Superman by a hair, because of what Mickey has become. These days he's mostly thought of as a commercial mascot, with most people having never seen a single one of his cartoons. Superman's comics are more read worldwide.
Superman (5th) VS Bugs Bunny (2nd): Now, I like Bugs better than Superman, but is he more iconic? No. Bugs is a close number two to Mickey in terms of cartoon fame, and as we've already proven Superman is more iconic than Mickey, he is more iconic than Bugs Bunny.
Superman (5th) VS Forrest Gump (1st):...Excuse me while I laugh. Forrest Gump is considered iconic? I suppose his ...more

Great
Team Vader! Also, why is Forrest Gump 1st? I mean, I get that he's a good character, but he's not really that iconic, honestly.
I've never seen Vader pose with his arms crossed! Whoa.
How is this not #1? He is the best! - MarkTheFox

The character was created by writer-editor Stan Lee and writer-artist Steve Ditko, and first appeared in the anthology comic book Amazing Fantasy #15 (August 1962) in the ...read more. Spider-Man should definitely be wayyy higher than this. maybe passing Superman AND Batman. no offense, but like... it's pretty obvious. This is obviously outdated.
If batman and superman made it to the top 5 then spiderman should at the very least be in the top 10.He is the one that created the term relatable superhero
Spider-Man should definitely be higher
Spider-man is relatable to anyone without the costume he is still peter parker. normal people issues and stuff
Royal Navy Commander James Bond is a fictional character created by British journalist and novelist Ian Fleming in 1953. He is the protagonist of the James Bond series of novels, films, comics and video games. Not a big fan but he is surely more iconic than Charlie Brown.

Harry James Potter is the title character of J. K. Rowling's Harry Potter series. The majority of the books' plot covers seven years in the life of the orphan Potter, who, on his eleventh birthday, learns he is a wizard. It should be the best but maybe Sherlock Homes is better dunno little confused between these two
I don’t know how you couldn’t put Harry on the top ten. Every person in the world knows his name and face! Guinness world records said that the movies did better than any other movie series except for perhaps Marvel! IT DID BETTER THAN JAMES BOND! AND JAMES BOND HAD 22 MOVIES! THE BOY WHO LIVED DESERVES MORE RESPECT!

No #3 behind only Superman and Mickey mouse Superman is the stand of movies Mickey mouse is the standard of cartoons and Goku is the standard of anime
Goku is iconic, but is he really more iconic to everyone in the world, more than: Jason voorhees, Scooby-Doo, Iron Man, Pac-Man, the Hulk, Optimus Prime, and the Joker?...Don't think so.
