I think it is likely there was, as most myths have some basis in reality.  However, who he actually was is lost to the mists of time.  Check out the link for interesting details, especially about the evolution of the legend.

Fictional or Real?\n\nUh oh, time to break out the Yahoo! Search tool bar. \n\n1st grade, don't fail me now!\n\nHis name was George something and used to smoke pot and cut down cherry trees.

His earthly human existence died, not Him Himself.\nHe was resurrected and is still alive today but not in His human form.

Well, according to the posters all over everyone's walls when I was young, he was at least quite good-looking!  But he was a bandit who used the revolutionary movement in his country for his own purposes.  He was a killer, thief, manipulator, and generally not a very nice person.  But he WAS good-looking.

I think Robin Hood did a wrong thing (stealing) for a right reason (helping the poor and to correct injustice).\nDoing a right thing for a wrong reason could be when Lex Luthor does things for charity to impress Clark Kent.  Or when he invents a cure just for the money or power of having it.

You are referring to Pope Joan. There is a persistent belief that a woman who spent her life disguised as a man, became Pope and got pregnant. There are several historians who refer to this but it might not be true.\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pope_Joan

Well, when I was growing up they used to say a person was a "pistol" when they were rebellious or unique.   I guess it went from there to "son of a gun" which makes sense if you think about it.  LOL

She doesn't really have a Real Name. She was nicknamed Little Red Riding Hood, after the red hood she always wears.

yes they were. Ninjas were just like a "myth" of robin hood in england. "robin hood" was just a name taken by any bandit at the time looking to strike fear into his victems. There were actually a number of bandits that took the name.\n\nThe ninja- is much the same, sure japan had spies and assasins and saoteurs but saying "im a ninja" and having peope fall into the whole myth which spies and assasins let grow, created this "myth" that people on such missions could use to strike fear into thier enemies.\n\nIt is, the most likely story that "ninjas" were actually just samurai who specialized in the art of assasinations and spying.

No.  The Batman was an ordinary human; Superman had extraordinary super-human powers.  No contest.

No. Though he would be LIKE Nero, this is another person who is yet to be revealed.

Geoffrey of Monmouth, as I have been taught, embellished the part about Arthur being English. This was when the Britons were a backwood people, and the English were the ones in charge.\nSo Monmouth thought it would be helpful to turn Arthur into an Englishman, thus making himself (as a Brit) more important.\nThere is much evidence that Arthur was a real warrior and that some of the battles really did happen. But in Monmouth's time, saying he fought against the English just wasn't cool.
