#1 was Dudley Moore. #2 was John Denver. #3 is Dan the Dyna-Myte.

IMHO, Deadpool is much more a ripoff of DC’s Lobo than Deathstroke. The initial parodic intent may have been Deathstroke, but Lobo’s the earlier-appearing rapid-healing profane-spewing wildly popular assassin/mercenary created as a joke storyline that took off.

#1 is kind of vague, don’t you think? A lot of public officials wear tuxedos at ceremonies, awards shows, fund raisers, etc. Do you mean he owned only 5 tuxedos and no other articles of clothing? From the context of the article, was five tuxedos considered something potentially scandalous, like say during the Depression? It doesn’t seem like the type of thing that would make headlines.
#2 DQ
#3 Deng Xiaoping?
