Nearly all of them, though I can't say I'd single out any one or few of them as having more influence than others, and there are other names I'd add to the list also.

Actually, from the point of the OP I have far more anti-heroes than heroes. I remember far more the people who influenced my thinking to oppose their ideas and agendas than those whose ideas and agendas I admired and wanted to follow.
