In the fictional world, anything can happen: people can fly, make all of their dreams come true, read minds, and other fun stuff. But it also reveals people's darkest fears, explores the dark side of human psychology, and the authors of those fictional worlds let their characters loose.

They're only fictional characters, right? So no harm here—we can exit the story as easily as we entered it. But what if some of the movie, book, and mythological characters were real? Reddit user SugarMinnow had that thought too and asked "Who is a fictional character that you're glad isn't real, and why?"

Over 17k people responded, listing their most feared characters. Some of them reasoned their opinions, while some didn't think that obvious things need to be explained. Bored Panda went through the thread and picked the characters that most people felt glad were not real. What do you think of them? Is there any character that you're glad is not real that is not mentioned here? Then put it in the comments down below!

    26 Fictional Characters That Are Unwanted In The Real World Burger King. He has not demonstrated to me that he would effectively rule a sovereign nation. He has shown little in the way of diplomacy skills, and has no record on defense. Unlike rival nations he has no enduring cabinet or advisers (no Grimace, for example). He has never forged an alliance (with Ronald or Wendy, at least). Flame-broiled only gets you so far on the world stage.

    26 Fictional Characters That Are Unwanted In The Real World Zapp Brannigan. Incompetent, arrogant, shameless, manipulative, zero morals or empathy, yet in a position of almost unequalled power. Although he isn't real, he's unfortunately representative of a lot of man-children in positions of power.
