Joe, Jack, William and Averell Dalton

Joe, Jack, William and Averell Dalton, collectively known as the Dalton brothers, are the main antagonists of the Lucky Luke comics franchise and the protagonists of the 2009 series The Daltons.

Why They Rock

 * 1) They're the most recognizable and well-known Lucky Luke villains in the whole franchise;
 * 2) Like the Cockroaches from Oggy and the Cockroaches, Their wacky and cartoonish designs make up for they resemblance to each other. It's needful to say that, while in the LL universe they're often regarded as ugly, their fandom, although suggestive, find them rather attractive;
 * 3) Not to mention, the four titular characters from the aforementioned shows could have been inspired by their round big noses and pointy moustaches.
 * 4) The countless hilarious gags in which they are involved. They vary from Joe's exaggerated body language during his mini-mental breakdowns caused by Averell's nonsense to the creative, absurd but prone-to-failure plans the quartet scheme in order to break out from prison;
 * 5) In spite of them looking the same, they do have personality traits that make them stand out, especially the two antipodes of the crew:
 * 6) Joe, the shortest and the oldest, one of his primary traits is his firy temper which leads him to insanity and his craftiness at scheming;
 * 7) Jack, taller than Joe, but shorter than the rest, the working boy and the most level headed;
 * 8) William, taller than Jack but shorter than Averell, the intellectual reader, the most laid-back and the suitor of the team;
 * 9) Averell, the tallest and the youngest, the kindest, most accident-prone, talkative and the glutton of the crew;
 * 10) Despite their villainous affiliation with crime, they retain a lot of likability and charm because of how goofy and simpathetic their portrayed.
 * 11) Their official spin-off series. While it deviates slightly from the source material since it does not feature Lucky Luke despite some minor appearences here and there, the slapstick and the overall zany tone of the show fit extremely well with the main characters.
 * 12) One of the best aspects of it is the fact that the creators actually cared of giving the middle brothers, Jack and William, two distinguishable personalities as, up until this series, the only reason they existed was to act as buffers between Joe and Averell or extras.
