Top 10 cartoon characters you wanted to be

1. Lion-O, Leader of the Thunder Cats: We wanted his strength and the clairvoyant power that he gets when holding his sword to his eyes, saying: “sight beyond sight”. Maybe then we'd know what women are really thinking.

2. Popeye: By simply eating spinach he gets stronger – no need for longs hours at the gym. And those muscles always made Olive Oyl swoon…

3. Inspector Gadget: Who wouldn't envy his cache of built-in gadgets like helicopter blades and super-strong, bionic limbs?

4. Optimus Prime: The leader of the Transformers is an all-around good guy: brave, wise, compassionate and he wants to improve the universe he lives in. All the ladies say, "Aaaah".

5. Conan: He's got a six pack worth envying, and we don’t mean beer.

6. He-Man: Prince Adam of Eternia becomes He-Man when he raises his Power Sword and says: “By the power of Grayskull”. Once the transformation is complete, he continues: “I have the power!” If only super strength was so easy for us all, especially when you're hung over.

7. Johnny Bravo: A modern-day Cassanova with an Elvis-like voice and beefy build… what’s not to like?

8. Throttle from the Biker Mice from Mars: The leader of the trio of bikers got us feeling all macho with his motto: "In this wild and woolly universe, there are three things you can count on: your brains, your bros and your bike!"

9. Donatello from the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: As the scientist, inventor, engineer and genius, he is more the thinking man’s favourite. Donny prefers to use his brain power over brawn, which can come in handy when you're asked to do some DIY around the house.

10. Bart Simpson: This fast-talking kid managed to win everyone over with his sassy ways and bad attitude. He represented the bad-boy wannabe in all of us.
