10. Tommy Shelby (Peaky Blinders)

Tommy Shelby's survival in Peaky Blinders was nothing short of miraculous. Tommy survived World War I trauma and assassination attempts through his own making, as well as betrayal among his ranks, always outsmarting his foes. His intelligent mind and practical ruthlessness would help him wade through very dangerous situations during his encounters with Luca Changretta and Oswald Mosley. In the final episode of the series, Tommy overcame a false terminal illness diagnosis, which marked his ultimate triumph over personal demons.
