I am a fan of season 2, so Frank Sobotka may be on my list.

Omar
Stringer
McNulty
Lester Freeman
Bubbles

I don't see how you can have a list without bubs on it. At one point during filming an actual crackhead gave him a rock because he looked like he needed it.

Serious question... how does anyone not have Omar in their top 5? He's an all-timer

He was too larger than life as a character. Great character for sure. Well-written, well-acted, etc. But for a show that prided itself on "realism", you can't tell me he would not have gotten Kenarded two months into whatever he was trying to do as a stick-up kid. No way he's walking through any open yard like this without some POS kid either jumping/shooting him. Not in 2020 and definitely not in 2003. It's the same reasoning that makes Brother Mouzone's character 100 times worse. At least Omar was entertaining.

You do realize how fear works right?

Plenty of people have tried killing him and he ended up ghosting them. ...when you come at the king....

It's the same reason gunslingers dont get called out, there becomes a mythos that keeps the small players from having the balls to aim a gun at him. Hell by the end of the show even Marlowes guys were surrendering to him.

IRL, someone like Omar would have been snuffed out in two months.
