It's gotta be the super mario man himself hailing from Georgia, Iosif Stalin.

Wins against the nazis, doesn't elaborate, leaves, USSR becomes the sugar daddy of the eastern bloc
Has a really cool looking moustache. No wonder he gets parodied as Mario
Literally outwitted his enemies by playing the "innocent secretary" and gaining power.
Was highly respected and feared by his enemies
Is still parodied and memes have spread of him by both tankies and non tankies alike
Is in Red Alert 1
Massive troll in pranking the other party members, he would throw bits of fruit into their drinks.
Isn't Hitler.

For me, Stalin falls out of the cool category due to deaths under his leadership (about 3.3 million officially recorded victims).

I have always enjoyed Alice Roosevelt, Teddy Roosevelt's daughter. She was brash, witty, at full of antics. Here's an example: When it came time for the Roosevelt family to move out of the White House, Alice buried a Voodoo doll of the new first lady, Nellie Taft, in the front yard.
