I feel like all arguments from this topic considered, the top tier is Mickey and Mario, and that I don't think people are giving Mario due respect in here. I initially voted Santa but realise now that may have been flawed. Ended up doing some research online and finding out that Spiderman seems to be much more internationally recognised than the other major superheroes and think he's a stronger contended than this poll shows. and then there's Sherlock Holmes whose stories have been translated into nearly every language both in books and multiple adaptations over on screen.

I disagree with this. Mario's almost 40 years old, at this point. Today's elderly likely had kids, and definitely grandkids, who are aware of him, and thus would become aware themselves.
