It’s gotta be the super mario man himself hailing from Georgia, Iosif Stalin.

  1. Wins against the nazis, doesn’t elaborate, leaves, USSR becomes the sugar daddy of the eastern bloc

  2. Has a really cool looking moustache. No wonder he gets parodied as Mario

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

  4. Was highly respected and feared by his enemies

  5. Is still parodied and memes have spread of him by both tankies and non tankies alike

  6. Is in Red Alert 1

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

  8. Isn’t Hitler.

    For a while, I’ve mentioned that the most logical course of action after the Napoleon and Oppenheimer movies is a Marcus Aurelius one, complete with Peter “Optimus Prime” Cullen as Marcus Aurelius.

      I’d love to see a TV series about Hadrian where he arrives in a new province every episode and fixes stuff.

      Interspersed are scenes of young Hadrian with Trajan, who is constantly badgered by mail by provincial governors (including Pliny the Younger) about trivial matters, as he tries (and fails spectacularly) to instill into Hadrian the importance of decentralized leadership.
