5. 2004 Red Sox
First Red Sox championship in 86 years with a brand new superstar, who works as a the audience POV to a new group of characters, and a motley crew of big personalities.
4. Hunter S. Thompson
Gonzo journalist has had one movie and an adaptation of one of his books with one more on the way, but the guy is seriously interesting outside of his psychedelic novels. He spent time with the Hell's Angels and ran for public office in Colorado.
3. St. George
A brave Roman solider who in reality stood against his leader, Diocletian, for discriminating against Catholics, and in his golden legend slayed a dragon and saved a city. It could combine pretty good for something a little less realistic than Troy, a little less trippy than 300.
2. Nikola Tesla
Was an inventor, an electric engineer, and plum crazy. He had a Hatfield and McCoy relationship with Thomas Edison in what the history books called "War of Currents."
1. Robert F. Williams
RFW was a civil rights activist left out of the history books because he was more aggressive than Martin Luther King and was more passive than Malcolm X. He had a number of interesting events during Civil Rights Movement before being exiled to Cuba under suspicion of Communism sympathizer.
