I’ve always been fascinated by other people’s collections of their most beloved characters.
Whenever I get caught up in a random geeky conversation with friends, colleagues, or the myriad friendly folks I encounter at conventions and other nerdy gatherings, my ears instantly perk up when someone mentions their favorite fictional icons. The people I meet during these spirited chats tend to pull their favorites from every corner of pop culture—video games, books, anime, TV shows, and movies are the usual breeding grounds for these fictional GOATs.
