I'll talk about those (heroes/villains) who single handedly changed the trajectory of entire domains and the culture around it. (for better or for worse).

* Narendra Modi - Modi is a phenomenon. You have to visit India to realize the extent to which everything revolves around him. A tier of popularity that was reserved for a Gandhi before this. The only man in India who can use the word 'privatization' without being cancelled. Did things that were considered political suicide (370 abolishment, Ram mandir, triple talak, now the Farm Bill).

* Arnab Goswami - changed the entire TV news landscape of India. Uprooted an entire entrenched industry and redefined what 24hr TV looks like for the whole country.

* The Viral Fever (a group) - Spearheaded the rise of stand up comedy in India. It had been simmering underground, until their comedy skits blew the entire industry up in a matter of months. It was all everyone talked about for a 2 yr. span in the early 2010s. The industry has risen at an incredible pace (thanks Netflix) and now a 'normal' way to spend a weekend evening in urban India.

* Netflix founders - Duh

* Boris Johnson - Brexit was THAT big of a deal
