Over on twitter, one of my favorite fan fic writers Drace Domino asked the question, "In your opinion, what franchise has produced the biggest roster of intensely fuckable characters? Not your favorite one, not where your personal waifu lives, but the property that’s been the biggest hottie factory over the years". For me this is an impossible question to answer when I really sit down to think about it, but I'll through what I came up over the past hour.
Being straight up, as some know I spent a large part of my free time from 2004-2020 writing fan fics based around the world of pro wrestling with Kristi, and so I can easily say that the Professional Wrestling as a whole probably would be at the top of the list, since promotions typically will hire performers who have certain looks and appeal to bring in an audience. Hell a lot of people are upset at the WWE because they are turning NXT back into its intended purpose as a developmental show to help bring along the next wave of men and women that people will find appealing to watch and grow attachment too instead of being a 'super indy', but that's beside the point. The fact is sex appeal is a huge part of pro wrestling.
But going beyond that, let's talk about Star Trek where you will find a wide variety of characters that can easily fit the build of Drace's Question. Hell the original series alone basically had a 'babe / hunk' of the episode to various degrees, but then you factor in the Animated Series, the Next Generation, Deep Space Nine, Voyager, Enterprise...and then look at things beyond the shows. The Starfleet Academy PC game in the mid 90s certainly delivers with the characters of Faith Gage, Maggie Horn, Vanda M'Giia & Jana Akton. Now go look into the comics particularly when DC and Marvel there is a treasure trove of characters to pull from, but let's stick with the Starfleet Academy vibe where you got T'Priell, Kyethn Zund, Pava Ek'Noor Aqabaa & Kamilah Goldstein,
But since we're moved in the realm of comic books with this, Marvel and DC Comics basically built up their their respective empires on the look and appeal of the men and women in the illustrated publications for close to 100 years now. From Superman to Wonder Woman to Harley Quinn to Nightwing to Spider-Man to Rogue to She-Hulk to Luke Cage, you really have no shortage of characters that one would consider doing the deed with, or imagining getting it on with others within their respective universe. Hell just look at the rosters of the Justice League and X-Men in any given year since the 1980s and you know there's a whole lot of fans figure out who's banging who.
But consider that Marvel has had a history of cross overs with Capcom, and this topic easily considers everything from the Street Fighter franchise, the Darkstalters franchise and so on. Hell fighting games in general have always been built around how characters look in addition to the game play. Consider how over the top the designs for many of the characters are in Street Fighter, and the backlash that came when Mortal Kombat 11's characters were 'tone down' in comparison to MKX and you realized just how much things like that matter to the core audience. Then you look at franchises like Dead or Alive whose entire premise is based around how fuckable the entire cast looks to be.
Then you got things like RPGs, JRPGs in particular... and big topic of interest whenever a new Final Fantasy game is announced is what will the characters look like, and hell folks had a fucking field day with the boy band looks of the Noctis and his buds in Final Fantasy XV, but then you go back and realize there were a lot of fuckable characters in every FF game, Tifa, Yuffie, Rikku, Lighting, Squall, Cloud, Tidus all instantly come to mind. Hell just look at Chrono Cross, a game I'm currently featuring on my Twitch channel and realize that a good chunk of it's cast, male and female, folks would find fuckable. And let's not forget about Kingdom Hearts which combines the Final Fantasy aspect of things with Disney's beauties.
Disney has done more than it's fair share over the years, and everyone can easily find just about every character, male or female getting the Rule 34 treatment. Hell Frozen basically became a huge money maker for Disney based solely on Elsa's looks alone, but just go back to the 90s with the Disney renaissance of that period, from Aladdin & Jasmin to Eric & Ariel to Belle & The Beast, Disney knew what they were doing, and they weren't the only ones. Example: Everyone mocks the yellow jumpsuit attire of April O'Neil in the 1987 TMNT series now a days, but when you realize that outfit design showed off her figure combine with the fact in the first story arc you have Michelangelo basically copping a feel on her and that just speaks for itself.. Then you got My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic and the very existence of its spin off Equestria Girls which is mostly based on the fact Hasbro realized what their audience included
I would be remiss if I didn't mention Overwatch, and that's a tough one where it certainly has a wild variety of characters but it's a real small sample size based on the game and it's expanded content in terms of books and comics. Hopefully that will be expanded upon in Overwatch 2.
Seriously, I could go down this rabbit hole all day trying to answer the question, because I didn't even go deep into Mass Effect, RWBY, Doctor Who, the Arrowverse... or just your typical anime with the likes the of Dragon Ball!
Anyway, this was a fun little thing to write as it certainly got me thinking!
