If you could meet any fictional character in real life, who would it be and why?

Deadpool hands down

Captain America to meet someone with a true sense of honor and standing up for what's right OR Captain Marvel for all that she's seen in the universe OR Ayla from Earth's Children series because I think there is so much value in learning what life and survival was like 30,000 years ago

Choosing Gandalf from 'Lord of the Rings' would be an extraordinary encounter. His wisdom, guidance, and profound insights into the nature of the world would be enlightening, and I'd love to hear tales of his adventures across Middle-earth.

Iron Man, for his wit and tech prowess.
