The real star of the beloved 1964 Rankin/Bass stop-motion film Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer is by far the coolest hero of all Christmas movies. All hail the Greatest Prospector in the North!
He is magnificent to behold
Regard his gravity-defying mustache with awe. His beard is the template for all beards. The flagrant display of his revolver quietly states to the world: fuck with me and die.

Cornelius is not just a pretty face.
The most dangerous weapon in his arsenal is his cunning. When combined with his brute strength, he is unstoppable. Like, he clearly displays his gun though the entire movie but you never see him use it. Doesn’t need it! Even when taking on a 15-foot tall, carnivorous ape-like creature BARE HANDED!

Y.C. is courageous.
Spearheads a daring rescue mission, risking his life for his new friend Rudolph and Rudolph's loved ones asking nothing in return.

He's witty.
Iceburg-raft crashes onto shoreline of Island of Misfit Toys, Yukon: “LAND HOOOO!!!” Hermey: “No kidding.” Comic genius.
