Magneto, Zack and Kelly:

I decided a little more western influence was laudable for my wonderful characters list, so I took out Marcellus from Illyria (my own work and thus first on the cutting block), Celia from Rave Master (a minor side character mermaid from a weak work overall), and Mizuki from Guyver (a heroine who never really had a natural role in the events of the story).

To stay at 60 honored 'silver' franchises I introduced a new franchise to replace Illyria, Saved by the Bell.  I actually had Zack from Saved by the Bell in '100 Waifus,' during one draft, but his name overlapped with Zack from FF7 so he was axed through no fault of his own.  The wonderful list doesn't have to worry about name overlaps so now is Zack's chance to get back in.  There can't be Zack without Kelly so I added in Kelly as well.  I think we can all agree that Zack and Kelly are the two best looking school kids in America.  They also have a sweet story of overall nice, fun-loving, good kids falling in love and eventually marrying, which I can support from beginning to end.

As for Magneto I think he's right that mutants are too oppressed and they should fight back against the world, plus I admire his fashion sense and awesome powers.  As we can see, Xavier is a pussy and stands for losers like Putin and Iran who don't fight back with all their strength, while real men are like Magneto.  They do whatever it takes for a righteous cause and don't care how many people die as a result, because all those deaths are the fault of the aggressors.  Magneto has an actual moral compass and isn't a coward so follows where it points.  I would call Magneto Erik but apparently his real name is Max, but nobody on Earth has heard of "Max" so Magneto it is.  Sometimes comics can become too convoluted for their own good.

With this I think I finally have a durable, tested list of wonderful characters.  Zack, Kelly and Magneto are world famous popular figures from extremely renowned, enduring works.  I don't have to worry about quality control with them.

Overall my fictional character hall of fame features 1400 entrants, and now I can make a strong case for all of them being there.  Until some new work of art blows me off my feet, I'm fine with all 1400 staying there for as long as they want.
