It’s gotta be the super mario man himself hailing from Georgia, Iosif Stalin.
-
Wins against the nazis, doesn’t elaborate, leaves, USSR becomes the sugar daddy of the eastern bloc
-
Has a really cool looking moustache. No wonder he gets parodied as Mario

Literally outwitted his enemies by playing the “innocent secretary” and gaining power.

Was highly respected and feared by his enemies

Is in Red Alert 1

Massive troll in pranking the other party members, he would throw bits of fruit into their drinks.

Having just carried out literacy campaigns across the country and vaccinated 2.5 million children free of charge… carrying out greening projects to curb the growing desertification in the Sahel, advocating women’s liberation and freedom and general improvements of women’s social status, alongside the nationalisation of land and mineral resources… then he played his stratocaster as he often did with his jazz band.
Sorry but you’ll never be this cool.
Theodore Roosevelt
Cyrus the Great.
Hadrian
Hank Scorpio is the only correct answer. Or maybe it’s wrong, i dunno, but I think it’s correct.
As a russian I’m saying: fuck Stalin and USSR. After Lenin it was seemed like Orwell’s antiutopia. And now Putler wants it back…
