What real life mysterious event or accomplishment is credited to the highest count of fictional (or fictionalized) characters?
I'm talking about stuff like "The Comedian actually killed JFK" or "The Doctor caused the tunguska event"

This is a really good question.
Probably the witch trials or the fannon retcon of count dracula being vlad the impaler.
Lucas Jenkins
Could be Area 51
Ian Kelly
JFK and Amelia Earhart are up there
Joshua Price
Dracula&Vlad is easily #1 if we count every single unique dracula as a separate character. Him being public domain, a ton of different authors create their own instances of Dracula that have entirely different personalities, motivations, backstories, etc. but most of them share being Vlad.

Why do so many comic book characters assassinate JFK?
Carson Murphy
He had it coming
Brandon Hall
it's one of the most high-profile assassinations of the modern history, if not THE.
Ethan Thomas
Creation.
See all of mythology.
Brandon King

The Ultimate Universes's Red Skull killed JFK in Ultimate Avengers 1. (Skull is Steve Rogers son in that universe)

>Why do so many comic book characters assassinate JFK?
Because the American left can't bring themselves to accept that he was murdered by "some silly little communist", so they constantly come up with theories that conveniently exonerate their fellow travelers, and if they can pin it on those evil right-wingers so much the better.
Jack Ross
More importantly, it's an assassination that many still feel hasn't been fully solved.
>the American left
Conspiracies about JFK aren't exclusive to the left, the right is invested in them too.
Andrew Morales
Can't believe no one's mentioned Jack the Ripper.
Yea Forums characters responsible include Carnage, Vandal Savage, Mr. Sinister, James Gordon, Gentleman Ghost, Chief Wiggum, The Pink Panther, A Jekyll!Batman who becomes a Hyde!Joker and, believe it or not, Winnie the Pooh according to anagram enthusiasts.

Jace Roberts
A Ripper debunker pointed out that you can use anagrams to prove anyone was The Ripper, including AA Milne, Christopher Robin, or Pooh himself by taking sentences from the books:
>“Here is Edward Bear coming downstairs now,”
Change it to:
>“Stab red red women! CR is downing whores – AA”

I am almost certain it’s gotta be the Sphinx statue losing its nose. That has been done to death.

One of my favorite things ever is in RA Wilson's Illuminatus novel, there were at least 6 different assassins all trying to kill JFK that day, none of them were aware of each other until they all heard gunshots coming from all over the plaza, and none of them is sure which one actually fired the fatal shot.
Luke Myers
oh yeah, he's probably the one with the most varied interpretations
remember when babylon fucknig five had jack the ripper in it
