I love fictional characters. They come from so many different sources: legend, literature, drama, movies, TV, comics, video games…but they all have something in common: they are products of human imagination. Now usually these aforementioned genres are considered separately, but I wondered what it would look like if we just threw them all together. The list is chronological, arranged by date of first appearance, so you can see when each was invented. Some origins were hard to pin down, so the dates for some are approximate. If there are two dates, the first is for the earliest possible origin and the second is origin of the modern incarnation of that character.

Anyway, hope you find the list handy, and be sure to leave comments underneath. You can even nominate someone to be added to the list!

1568; or if you believe the connection to Beowolf (Beowa) then much earlier, perhaps near the top of the list at around 1031AD.


The waxworks were an immensely eloquent dissertation on the wonderful ordinariness of mankind.
