To riff on the One-Punch Man theme, Charapedia was looking for the saikyo mecha hero (or anti-hero, or antagonist in a few cases) in their latest 10,000 Reader poll, asking fans to name anime's mightiest robot pilot. 45 characters were suggested by a pool of voters that was 74.8% male. Because that was so one-sided, unlike many polls, they didn't offer a break down of top selections by voter.

20. Code Geass' Lelouch Lamperouge - 94 votes
