So, journey with me as I try to select my own personal CBWG icon. Please help me out with anyone that I might have missed!
LEX LUTHOR
CBWG Pros: Rich! Ambitious. Seems to be competent in whatever disciplines a given plotline requires him to be competent in.
CBWG Cons: Frequently foiled. Rendered as bumbling, vain, and ineffectual in silver screen adaptations.
DADDY WARBUCKS
CBWG Pros: Rich! (Richer than Luthor, even, according to the Forbes Fictional 15.) A benefactor to humankind.
CBWG Cons: Emotionally dominated by irrepressible moppet. Expensive research or philanthropic projects often fall prey to sabotage. No pupils.
YUL BRYNNER
CBWG Pros: Rad name. Anticipated both Vin Diesel's baldness and hard-to-pin-down ethnicity.
CBWG Cons: Fabricated exotic biography. Also, died of cancer (lung), which is inauspicious.
TELLY SAVALAS
CBWG Pros: Was apparently awesome at blackjack. Those Player's Club International ads made him seem pretty slick. Kojak was good at solving crimes.
CBWG Cons: Died of cancer, goddammit!!
HOWIE MANDEL
Let's move on.
ZYDRUNAS ILGAUSKAS
CBWG Pros: Rebounds, mid-range shooting.
CBWG Cons: Personal fouls. Can't get it done on the road.
NOSTRADAMUS "BULL" SHANNON
CBWG Pros: Authoritative presence in courtroom. Sweet man-child nature.
CBWG Cons: Target of John Larroquette's barbs.

What, no Moby?
So when I played Flatland in Germany, you were a big hit. "I luv how the Line King was like a pimp, ja!" That really, really seemed to register with this one guy...
Excellent timing Cur-tez. Scrolling down to read each new CBWG was good enough, but ending with Bull's sweet man-child nuture made me laugh out loud in this very quiet, very empty office. Hope the final stretch is gettin' it done and everything tastes sweeter on the other side (from beer to mixed drinks to cheetos).
