Furter from The Rocky Horror Picture Show, Nigel Thornberry, Hexxus from FernGully: The Last Rainforest, and the original Pennywise played in Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3 (3rd entry in a real-time strategy war game from the 90s and early 2000s, i.e. the same genre as StarCraft)  that grew to be a minor meme due to his hammy delivery of that one line about space.

Again, to roughly quote Chiaki Sakura in a previous thread "It doesn't matter how well-known a character is, just if their music and sources are good" and god damn Command & Conquer has some of the manliest intros in existence. (plus is the originator of the most famous Soviet theme that isn't the real one)

also I realized that he has a bit of overlap with World Circuit Wreckers because of Soda Popinkski so unless Popinski is changed to somebody like Glass Joe (assuming Cherdenko is actually accepted) if he is then he can just get Soviet-only stuff and Popinski anything else Russia-related, or swap him for Glass Joe and give WCW French-related stuff.
