Top 10 Fictional Male Characters of the 2010s
A while back I did a list series of the best female fictional characters of each decade and now its time to do one for the guys, the top male fictional characters of the 2010 decade 2010-2020 from Movies, TV Shows, Cartoons, Anime, video games and any form of media.
I really couldn't figure out who to put for #1 so I went with Tony Stark/ Iron Man who made the ultimate sacrifice to defeat Thanos.
Deadpool is a fictional antihero created by Marvel who appears in their comics. Deadpool's first appearance was in New Mutants #98 by Rob Liefeld and Fabian Nicieza in February of 1991. His powers include self-healing and super strength. He is regarded as one of the funniest characters in comics due to his tendency to break the fourth wall. Such a hilarious character brought to life by Ryan Reynolds who really nails the Deadpool character in terms of his witty humor, over the top action and his contant 4th wall breaks almost makes you forget about Deadpool's disastrous appearance in X-men Origins.
John Marston is a central character and the main protagonist of Red Dead Redemption and Undead Nightmare. He is portrayed by Rob Wiethoff. Plain and simple, just awesome. On an unrelated note, I think there are a few characters who shouldn't really be here because they debuted before the 2010s-examples include:
Hiccup (debuted 2003)-I can forgive this one as the books are somewhat obscure
Jon Snow (debuted 1996)-again, a case of the adaptation overshadowing the original
Deadpool (debuted 1991)-says it right in the description under his name...
Star-Lord (debuted 1971)-simple mistake, nobody knew who he was until 2014 anyway
Iron Man (debuted 1963)-the 60s were when all the "big" Marvel characters debuted (including most of the Avengers), and even if we say "movies only" he debuted in 2008, not the 2010s
Captain America (debuted 1941)-he's a WW2 character, so why would he debut 70 years after the war?
And most bafflingly of all:
Sherlock Holmes (debuted 1887)-that's over a hundred years too early for this sort of thing. I REALLY hope this one is some kind of joke-people can't be this stupid...
He’s an amazing character. Who can deny his awesome appearance, abilities, roar, and everything? He’s GODZILLA! The TRUE King of the Monsters! Long Live The King!
