The term alpha male, according to the mainstream media is beginning to die.
However searches for the term, or similar terms such as “alpha male traits” have never been higher.
As the male community enters an era of submissiveness for the first time in history, we believe they’re in need of role models.
Here are the biggest alpha males who ever lived.

Who are the biggest alpha males in history?
Hannibal Barca
Hannibal Barca is famously known as the man who took on the Romans and won against all odds for a long period of time until he was eventually overcome due to issues outside of his control.
Hannibal marched across the alps with roughly 50,000 men and 38 elephants even into late October, then fought many Roman armies and won. The Roman’s decided to not engage with Hannibal due to his genius, instead waiting for his army to crumble due to time.
When they eventually found him, in his 60’s, Hannibal poisened himself in order to avoid being a trophy for Rome.
JFK
JFK is believed by many to be one of the most charismatic speakers of all time. Men wanted to be him, women wanted to be with him.
JFK even spoke out against “shadow societies” something that is believed to have got him killed.
Michael Jordan
Perhaps the greatest sportsman of all time, Michael was a true alpha male.
He never backed down from a challenge, won everything, looked cool doing it and made billions.
Tupac Shakur
Tupac defines alpha male. He worked his ass off, made no excuses, and every single man he was around he became the alpha male. Even Will Smith said he felt scared and out of place when he was around Tupac.
Tupac also wasn’t scared to speak out. He fought for female rights, wrote poetry and liked Oasis, things that were far from hip hop and gangsta life.
Mike Tyson
In terms of the basic understanding of an alpha male, Mike Tyson sits at the top of that list. He knocked all other men out and had the highest testosterone.
William Wallace
The Scotsman was able to lead a revolution, overcome the death of his wife and fight off a superior English army for a long duration of time.
Adolf Hitler
Sadly not all alpha males are idols. The term alpha can be attributed to someone who has power and dominance over others. Adolf Hitler is perhaps the most evil person who has ever lived, but no one can doubt his ability to stir a crowd and speak with charisma.
Sadly these skills were used for bad, and his “accomplishments” if you can even call them that, were close to world domination. He was very close to being “The Alpha Male” so regretfully Hitler has the make the list.
Genghis Khan
Another savage among men. Genghis Khan achieved the largest empire in human history and has nearly 16 million descendants living today.
However, as bad as Genghis’ conquests were, the fact he was able to create a multi-cultural educational system, an employee commission scheme and mixed up soldiers from different conquered armies so they didn’t revolt, were genius moves.
Similar to Hitler in terms of disgust, but without doubt was perhaps the biggest alpha male who ever lived.
Jonah Lomu
Just over 6ft 4, 119kg and an 11 second 100m time. This man was truly unstoppable, making other men look like children.
A New Zealand rugby player by trade, but a national icon throughout his life and even in death. Jonah Lomu was the epitome of sporting greatness and what we all assume an alpha male would look and move like.
Aaron Burr
Parents died when he was a kid, halted his studies to fight in the American Revolution, due to bravery rose to lieutenant colonel, won a duel against his rival for Vice Presidency who died the following day. That sounds pretty apha.
Abraham Lincoln
Abraham Lincoln went through hell to get to the top. Losing his Wife and Son, his was still able to make unselfish decisions such as freeing the slaves of America.
Pablo Escobar
Perhaps a controversial one, but Pablo was able to take over Columbia in his 20’s and put so much fear into the US that they had to kill him. The man put himself in his own prison and had models visiting everyday. Although he sold drugs, the people loved him because he gave back.
Muhammad Ali
The legend of Ali inspired millions of people, an entire race and the art of shit talking in fighting. Ali was not only a great man outside of the ring, but in the typical fashion of what it means to be an alpha male, he could pretty much beat anyone’s ass.
Mansa Musa
For many the biggest alpha male is the richest man in the room. How about the richest person ever? Mansa Musa lived in 14th century and was worth $400bn, with some believing he may have been a trillionaire.
Clint Eastwood
Even at 90 years old, Clint is still the coolest guy in any room. Clint has been an idol for more men than anyone else in history. His old school masculine traits and natural tough guy persona has been unmatched ever since.
Wilt Chamberlain
At 7ft 1 and 140kg, Wilt was fair to say a big guy with the frame of an alpha male. Add to that the fact he was a famous basketball player, considered one of the all time greats and holds the record for the most points ever in a game. Not only that, but it’s reported that Wilt had a giant penis that he had to tape to his leg during games, and he claimed to have slept with more than 20,000 women.
Alexander The Great
Due to his leadership alone, Alexander was able to convince his men to keep striving for more and more, from Macedonia to India where they were finally stopped. He was perhaps an India and China away from world domination.
Pier Gerlofs Donia
A rebel leader and pirate. He was said to stand at over 7ft tall, combined with an impressive wide frame and the “strength of an ox”. Pier’s village was burned down and his wife raped and murdered. In revenged he decided to take out everyone and succeeded. Anyone in doubt should search for Pier’s sword, next to normal men it looks unusable.
Alexander Karelin
Named the Russian Bear and the Russian King Kong, Alexander was a Russian wrestler standing at 6ft 3 and 130kg, with a 13 year win streak at Super-Heavyweight.
Achilles
Many believe he’s the biggest alpha male in history as he’s also considered the greatest warrior in history. If the film Troy is anything to go by, then he should certainly be considered as a contender. However there are some that don’t believe he was a real person.
Leonidas
The leader of the 300 Spartans who marched and fought to guarenteed death in order to delay thousands of Persians long enough for Sparta to assemble a bigger army.
Jon Jones
The biggest alpha male for many is the toughest guy. Jon Jones is the the baddest man on the planet right now and no one is history has had his fighting abilities. If you’re the last man standing that’s alpha, espcially at 6ft 4 and your only loss being a DQ.
Nelson Mandela
Everyone know’s the Mandela story, however the one thing that stands out most of all, was his ability to forgive. When he came to power he could have got his own back, instead he asked the black people of South Africa to forgive the white people and move forward.
Harald Fairhair
When Harold asked the woman he loved to marry him, she replied she wouldn’t marry him until he was king of all Norway. Harold then set out to destroy everyone who opposed him and become the king of Norway landing the girl.
Dave Schultz
Chael Sonnen believes Mark Schultz is the toughest man ever – Dave’s brother, who himself believes that his brother Dave was tougher. That has to count for something. He was also a great father, a leader, never lost his temper and helped as many people as possible.
Flamma
Flamma was a Gladiator who was awarded the rudis 4 times and each time declined in order to keep fighting.
Xiahou Dun
A military general in China, Xiahou according to reports, was hit in the eye by an arrow during battle, pulled out the arrow with his eye on the end and ate his own eye in front of his enemy. Maybe more crazy than alpha.
