Pericles, Giglamesh and The Korean Leader (forgot his name) and Ghenghis
My best all-around games have been with Louis. Fast, large expansion with creative; you can easily put cultural pressure on someone right from the get-go. No need for stonehenge or monuments if you don't want them. Cheap wonders with Industrious = more cultural pressure. Cheap libraries, theaters, and colosseums; cheap forges and factories. Those are the core of core buildings (other than granaries of course).
Salon replaces and outshines Observatory, giving you a free artist which generates 4 beakers base if you run Representation, or potentially 13 beakers in you oxford/acad city, 7 beakers elsewhere. (pre-Laboratory). They also generate even more culture which can batter your neighbors if you want to annex cities peacefully or via the Apolostic Palace.
The UU is a somewhat weak musketeer that gets 2 moves instead of 1, but it can be a decent mobile defensive stack that still gets terrain defense bonuses, has no weaknesses against any other unit until Infantry, and thus acts as a somewhat decent, all-purposes, rapid reaction defense force.
I used to look down on Creative when it wasn't coupled with Praetorians. No more.

He's talking about coolest looking leaders, not coolest leaders overall.
Me, I've always thought Hattie was kind of cute.

Zara Yaqob's Star Trek-esque uniform is growing on me.

Gilgamesh is overwhelmingly awesome
Willem van Oranje looks so goddamn evil and scheming, he'd give Machiavelli himself a heart attack
I also kinda have a soft spot for Cyrus. With his mullet and hat made of cigars and molestor 'stache, you could stick a wifebeater singlet with a NASCAR logo on him and it wouldn't look out of place
Mehmed and Hannibal also look great

Pericles of course, and have you noticed the moves with his hands before he takes his helmet up?
or Hamurabi man his beard is just way dicey.

I like Sitting Bull. I always use him now, and my second is Tokugawa :].
I have much respect for the "Native Americans","Japanese", and "much more".

Agreed, she actually reminds me a bit of someone I know.
Personal choice for coolest looking is Monty. There's so much evil in his grin.

I'm afraid I must heavily disagree. Isabella is not sexy at all, she gives me the shivers.
But maybe it's just past history.

So true...I personally think Zara, Suleiman, and Shaka are the coolest looking male leaders. As far as female, I'd go with my girlfriend Boudica, Hatty is kind of cute I think (she's a sweetheart!), and Isabella

What about Victoria? For 19th century, yes.

I've always had quite the crush on Catherine, especially that little head thing she does when you first meet her.

Top Females in my opinion are:
1) Catherine - I like women in uniform
.2) Boudica - is just bodacious.
Top Males in my opinion are[and I like more of the males than I do the females]:
1)Ghengis Khan - His armor and his hat are the likely the most awesome of things in this game.
2)Tokugawa - I just like him. Though his trait combo could be better to go with his appearance.
3)Bismark - Bismark is just plain cool(I always did like those pointy helmets). That and his in game portrait makes me think 'grandfather figure' which entertains me greatly.
Honorable Mention - Joao II is definitely fairly neat.
