Since I haven't read 'to be a man short stories' specifically, it's hard to say. However, they might be men of different ages, backgrounds, and personalities. Maybe there are young men starting out in their careers, middle - aged men dealing with family issues, or old men reflecting on their lives.
There could be characters like Mary Jane. She is often an important part of Spider Man's personal life. Her presence adds a layer of complexity to Spider Man's story as he tries to balance his love for her with his duties as a superhero.
The Illustrated Man himself is a main character. His body is covered in tattoos that come to life and tell different stories.
I'm not sure exactly, but I assume the Green Man himself is a main character. He's probably at the center of the stories.
The main character is surely the last man standing. However, depending on how the stories are written, there could be some other 'phantom' characters. For example, the voices he hears in his head which could be remnants of people he once knew. These might not be real characters in the present but play important roles in his mental state.
These two characters are often pitted against various villains. Their contrasting personalities make for an interesting dynamic. They have to rely on each other's strengths and cover each other's weaknesses. Whether it's infiltrating a secret base or decoding a mysterious message, they are at the heart of every adventure in the 'Man from Uncle Short Stories'.
Mr. Hawkins is another important character. He is Dave's employer. His relationship with Dave shows the power dynamics between an employer and a young, inexperienced worker. Dave wants to prove himself to Mr. Hawkins as part of his journey to manhood.
John Perry is a main character. He is an old man who signs up for the Colonial Defense Forces. There are also other old people like him who become soldiers in the stories.
Obviously, the two central figures are the poor man and the rich man. They are likely to be in contrast to each other in terms of their living conditions, values, and perhaps their behaviors within the story.
It's hard to determine the main characters precisely without having read the story. However, the burning man is bound to be a central figure. There could be other supporting characters like a bystander who witnesses the burning man's situation, a friend or a foe who has a role in his story. Maybe there's a character who has a past connection with the burning man and that connection drives the plot forward.
The main character is likely the lawnmower man himself. There may also be the people whose lawns he mows, like homeowners in the neighborhood.
