Saddam has that beard, meaning it was painted in the last 3-5 years

a lot of people have mentioned folks i've noticed, i think Guan Yu got a spot ver Lu Bu is because we know roughly whta he looked like, and he's worshipped in some quarters.

Some parts of this look like they were copied, pasted, and photoshopped to match the style.  Are we even sure this is a painting?  Even if it's not, it's really cool, but I'm having doubts about its authenticity as an actual painting.

I was happy to see Nietzsche in there (one of my heroes), but I was surprised to see that Jesus is missing.

More likely Mike Tyson, upon whom Balrog was based (The names were changed in the US version... on the original, he was M. Bison, the mask-and-claw guy was Balrog and the big bad was Vega).  Or some other well-known boxer.

I see Ghandi, Abe, Einstien, Marylin Monroe, Bruce Lee or Jackie Chan, Roosevelt, a Pharoh (Maybe Tutenakhmen), Hitler, Moses, Van Gogh, Che Guevarra, Napoleon, Pele, Socrates and Plato, Kim Jong, Bush, Confucius, Cesar, Mao, Castro (Guevarra's right hand man). And that's all I know.

Something tells me none of you know the names of the starfish or the ostrich. Barbarians.  ;)

OH!  The guy in the upper-right corner is Dante!  I knew I recognized him!  Shakespeare is next to Elvis.

Has nobody noticed Bismarck yet? He is the guy to the far right, close to the wall with his spike helmet.
Oh, and I see Bush to, not very far from Bismarck. And the Godfather next to Fidel Castro. That can't be a coincidence.
Btw, the russian guy who does whatever you described he is doing with his hands is Lenin. Vladimir Iljoewitsj ( thats how its pronounced, don't know its spelling ).

Oh, and next to Clinton is Peter the Great. That is no mere French guy... he is the a pwnzoring czar.
