Number 6 Ted
Indications of the man he’d become may have been present ever since he was 3 years old. That’s when his aunt woke up from a nap to find herself surrounded by items from the kitchen and Ted standing by the bed, smiling. He never knew his father and resented his mother for not talking about him. There’s even a theory that his real father was actually his grandfather, Samuel. His early years, while he was living with his grandparents, were undoubtedly confusing. To manage the stigma of being born out of wedlock, he was told that his mother was his older sister and that his grandparents were his biological mother and father. By the time he was a teenager, he couldn’t understand interpersonal relationships.
Number 5 Alexander
Pichushkin became prolific in chess and would often play in Moscow’s Bitsa Park. It was a passion instilled and encouraged in him by his grandfather.
Number 4 Pablo
Pablo is known in history by many names, including “The Boss”, “The Lord” or “Sir Pablo”. Born to a farmer and an elementary school teacher, he was the third of seven children. It’s been suggested that his mother was actually one of his greatest supporters, from his rise to prominence to the height of his power. Young Pablo’s dream was to have 1 million pesos in the bank by the time he turned 22. By the time he was 26, Escobar reportedly fulfilled that ambition a hundred times over.
Number 3 Kim
Kim is far from a victim of circumstance, but it’s hard to imagine his life turning out differently, when considering his ancestry. His grandfather was the creator of the country’s central philosophy of Juche, or self-reliance. This decision was criticized by some as an example of establishing a dynasty, which is against the principles of socialism. It’s a position he might’ve been groomed for from a young age. That being said, not much is known about his early upbringing. In fact, even his exact birth date remains unknown. It’s suspected that he studied in Switzerland under an assumed identity, chaperoned by a bodyguard, who posed as an older student.
Number 2 Adolf
He was the fourth of six children, born in 1889 to Klara Polzl and Alois. His mother was described as loving and kind, but Alois had little interest or understanding for the children. When he was 8, he sang in the church choir and wanted to become a priest. He wanted to become an artist, a desire that his father willfully ignored, choosing a different path for his education.
Number 1 Mao
Mao would slowly start to develop a rebellious side, inspired by the nationalistic drive of Napoleon Bonaparte or George Washington. At age 13, his father arranged a marriage for him with a 17-year-old girl, as means of uniting their two land-owning families. Mao refused to accept her as his wife and moved away. He wrote critical essays and took part in protests, which showed glimpses of the man he would become. During this time, Mao’s “Great Leap Forward” campaign saw the country’s transition from an agriculture-based economy to an industrial one.
