>>Actually, I came up with “The Other masked Man”, the Adam West version of Batman with the same 9/9. <<

What was his injury?

Robin’s parents were killed (in all versions) but Batman/Bruce Wayne?

>>However, Perry Mason doesn’t fare so well, though I find the character likeable.

NO Courage (his clients are the ones in danger, he rarely gets a threat worse than contempt of Court)
<<

He takes loser cases in almost every episode. Ones where his client is absolutely guilty dead to rights. I say that takes courage.

That hits the 5/9 mark if you add it in.

In episode 1 (Hi Diddle Riddle) Bruce mentions several times that his parents were murdered by dastardly criminals. THat, of course, is the his raison d'etre, beginning with Detective Comics #27 back in 1939, but confirmed in the '66 show at least in the first episode, if not dwelt upon.

Wow, I did not know that. Paul Lynde in center square for the win! Bruce/Batman gets 9/9! :)

Carson, courage? Maybe, it takes a certain something to be willing to cut into a child's brain.

True. Plus, while he's not exactly a laugh a minute, he does seem to have a good humor and friendliness that would make him better company than a lot of other candidates.

That doesn't mean he should be president, but he's certainly likeable, probably more so one on one than Trump, who plays better to crowds, is.

The Lone Ranger:

...

YES Loved By Friends And Family

...

Maybe there's a reason we never see him with his family, and how beloved can he be when he's always calling his best friend and closest companion dumb?
