9. Jak & Daxter
Jak and his sidekick Dexter (the otter who hangs around on his shoulder, for the most part) are the kinds of characters you want saving the world. Jak's popularity surpassed that of many others, when he was listed in the Guinness World Records as one of the top 50 characters of all time.
Jak's special relationship with a magical energy called "Eco" allows him to possess a variety of powers, which in turn provide him with speed, strength, and the ability to project energy attacks.
