Can You Tell What All These Pop Culture Icons Have in Common? Artist Draws Cartoons from Across Fandoms with Similar Attributes

Do you have a type? No, I'm not talking about attributes you look for in a potential partner – I'm talking about fictional characters. From cartoons, to movies, to video games, to novels: it is impossible to have a completely original idea. Forms of media build off of each other, taking certain aspects and changing them to fit new narratives. This is how tropes are born. Though, sometimes what may appear to be a trope at play is actually an homage to another work. Looking at the media that I consume, I seem to have a thing for eccentric detectives with a sweet tooth. Am I talking about the anime icon L, or am I referring to Twin Peak's very own Special Agent Dale Cooper? Both tbh. 

Digital artist and "crossover fan art specialist," Chris-theKid, draws pop culture icons from all across a wide berth of fandoms. From Marvel Comics to literary heroes, he illustrates characters with similar professions, designs, and other attributes hanging out and communing like old friends. Can you tell what the characters have in common in each image?
