Some love for the "boy mentor" characters who are the rockstars of the neighborhood. They're impossibly cool and they could be spending their time doing cool big kid shite, but they have the heart to take the less cool kids under their wing and guide them through life.

Benny the Jet:






Chris Chambers:






I think a big reason why these movies resonate so much with us is because we all had a Chris or a Benny in our lives at some point.

This guy’s picture is in the dictionary next to the word “cool.”


There are a lot of cool characters out there, as this thread amply demonstrates, but I can't think of one whose entire existence centered around the character's coolness like the Fonz. Why was he in the show? To be cool. How would you describe him? He's cool. What is his personality like? He's cool. What are his goals, what motivates him? To be cool.

Not sure about Benny (too straight-laced for me), but Chris Chambers was a cool dude.
