5. Sonic the Hedgehog – Bill Clinton/Michael Jackson
Recommended Videos
OK so bear with me on this one. You can pretty much pick apart most of what makes Sonic what he is and find an inspiration for it. For example, some of the less strange ones include Santa Claus, who was the character behind Sonic’s red and white contrast.
However, it gets a bit more out there. According to Naoto Oshima, Sonic’s little booties evolved from Michael Jackson’s trademark shoes, and you can see the resemblance! It’s a shame we haven’t seen Sonic moonwalk yet. Oh, and if you were ever wondering where Sonic gets his dynamic personality from, you can ask Bill Clinton. Yeah, apparently his “Get it Done” attitude was the inspiration for our favourite blue hero. Go figure.
