5. Ned Kelly
Ned Kelly, an infamous Australian outlaw born in 1854, is celebrated for his defiance against colonial authority. Known for his distinctive homemade armor, which he donned during his notorious confrontations with police, Kelly became a symbol of resistance for the oppressed Irish settlers in Australia.
His life was marked by a string of robberies and a dramatic final stand at the Siege of Glenrowan, where he and his gang faced overwhelming odds. Kelly’s story has been romanticized in literature and film, solidifying his status as a folk hero who challenged injustice and fought for the underprivileged.
