I mean I could see Daleks taking 2-A (one of the most recognisable sci fi villains and a staple of pop culture)

I was thinking of Digimon too, but I don't know if any of the 2-As are among the most iconic ones.

The only characters in Digimon I'd think would classify as "iconic" would be Taichi, Agumon, WarGreymon and Omegamon respectively. Maybe Gabumon and V-Mon since they're other pretty notable Digimon.
Other well-known characters like Yggdrasil, Lucemon, Ryo Akiyama, Beelzemon, etc, are only well known in the fandom or on versus sites due to how OP they are.

There aren't a lot of 2-A characters who are "iconic" outside of their relative spheres, especially in their 2-A forms, that I can think of off the top of my head. In the Anti-Monitor's case at the very least, I can think of people I know who are aware of what it is if you were to show them a cover or picture with it, even if they don't know its name.Andytrenom said:
You can't really objectively compare things like this too heavily, but at the very least, using Google handed me 80,000,000 results for "dc anti-monitor", which is a lot more than any other I can think of, so far.

@Cal
I think this is a good choice, assuming we're allowed to count it as Thanos and not just the Infinity Gauntlet. Even before Infinity War, that was a huge event in the comics world.

I feel like it is a good middle ground since Thanos is such a massive meme in addition to the movies and the infinity gauntlet is notable in its own right

A fair portion of those who saw the movie had heard of Comic Thanos before the movie was released due to the hype, most likely.

Yeah, he had shown up enough in cartoons that almost anyone who had watched a marvel cartoon had at least heard of himKepekley23 said:

Also, should Lumi really be in 1-A? It's not literally the DM, but an in-universe representation of it. Old Mystara lore even seems to separate real world DM and in-universe DM surrogate, as it implies that the pathetic human reading the book could not understand the Old Ones (hence why they weren't given descriptions), but that there's something even beyond their understanding that watches and waits (in-universe DM/Lumi).
I don't think very many people outside those devoted to obscure D&D lore are super familiar with the canon entity.

I agree with Azy here
There are much more notable 1-As from the mythos other than those that are already mentioned up there

They should probably both be listed. They are hyper iconic in different ways

I really don't think Cthulhu compares to Bugs or Mickey Mouse.

It's really influence more then being a pure icon. Inventing the Eldrich Horror is no small feat.

Cthulhu and his mythos founded one of the most popular types of horror and invented incredibly prominent motifs that are everywhere. This includes in works that are not directly horror. He is a different kind of iconic than they are, but just as prominent if not moreWarren Valion said:

Yeah, I'd say there are far more iconic High 4-Cs than Cthulhu, but the Mythos' influence on modern fantasy and horror is still kinda nuts.

I don't mean to bully. The crossed out text is basically saracasm/joke text on this wiki. It's honestly more making fun of myself mistaking the meaning then making fun of them.

Cthulhu is big, but Mikey Mouse or even Bugs are like the shining example of Western Cartoons and are far more iconic.

I know who they are quite famous. My point is that they are very different kinds of iconic.
See a show that has some kind of eldritch creature? Cthulhu and love craft. See a work that takes advantage of something being beyond comprehension? C&L. See a book that takes advantage of slime or aquatic motifs in horror or monsters? Its probably Cthulhu inspired. Any kind of ultimate transcendence is usually either Platonic, Religious, or Lovecraftian. Even their style of magic is so influential that most magic systems in Fiction have some reference to it. If it isn't some mythical language or Hebrew that they speak it, it is probably Cthulhu inspired. Ever read a book that makes you feel small in the universe and isn't in a religious setting? That's from Cthulhu.
The kind of iconic Mikey or Bugs is is different from Cthlhu's inconicness. They are one and the same, but are comparable in fame.
