18. Napoleon Bonaparte
In most movies and cartoons, Napoleon Bonaparte is always depicted as an incredibly short person who is angry, tyrannical, and bold. In reality, records state that he was 5-foot-5 to 6 inches tall, which was actually the average size at the time. He was not someone with dwarfism. Most fictional versions of Napoleon belittle his real-life accomplishments. There were so many people who looked up to him as a hero. Most of the negative satirical depictions of Napoleon Bonaparte came from British political cartoons, and that stereotype continued throughout British and American history. Eventually, it ended up in movies and TV. The poor guy never stood a chance.
