Stan Lee. Between how much of others' work he got credit for because of his skills as a hype man, and how much he charges on the con circuit for three seconds in his presence... He takes the cake for me. He's created this image as every nerd's fun uncle, but in reality he's a total snake.

I haven’t heard much on him It's widely acknowledged that the majority of the characters he's credited with creating were actually created by the artists under his editorship, and he used his position of authority to undermine their contributions and claim all of the credit (and royalties) for himself.

What royalties? Stan,Jack,Steve and the others were working under contracts where they got no royalties. The biggest Carine in classic comics has to be Bob Kane.

Salvador Dali lived the gimmick pretty hard. He can't help it, he was born that way. Peter Molyneux certainly has the "hype man" quality down

Ed McMahon started out as a carnival barker. And ended his career endorsing cash4gold where in one ad he basically says "I'm broke and sad."

I'd say Kevin Smith. While he does a great job of doing the "I'm an outsider who's just lucky to be able to do this" image. He uses so much insider lingo, it always feels like he's selling his image rather than it being completely genuine. Not to say he's not cool, as I've heard a lot of great stories about him, but I think he realizes that being the outsider to Hollywood is his brand now, and he IS Hollywood these days.

Pretty much all of them.
