Question 50 THE BIG PICTURE

Yeah..... 50th question... So here is a set of questions to celebrate
4 Questions which have a hidden theme...  1 clue for the THEME... Attempt only once.... Points given in Brackets... Total points = 10



1)    Saw a man in the movies that didn't have a heart
How I wish I could give him mine
Then I wouldn't have to feel it breaking all apart
And this emptiness inside would suit me fine
It's times like these
I wish I were the X
You could hurt me all you wanted
I'd never even know
Well...I'd give anything just to be the X
And I wouldn't have a heart and I wouldn't need a soul
ID the fictional character X (1)..... Enough clues in question.... 
Bonus point question : What is X's original name? (1)  
Ans : Tin Woodman...

Question 45

He believed sincerely in reincarnation and thought himself to have been a soldier killed at the battle of Gettysburg. Narrowly defeated when he ran for a seat in the U.S. Senate, he was a leading candidate for president in public-opinion polls for several years.
He was a shameful and vocal anti-Semite who achieved the highly dubious distinction of becoming the only American mentioned by name in Adolf Hitler's book, Mein Kampf. At the same time, he directed that jobs at his company be set aside for African-Americans, women, and the disabled.
He was mesmerized by the sound and sight of falling water, and deeply impressed by the writing and philosophy of Ralph Waldo Emerson - or at least his understanding of it. He also had a "voracious appetite for reading stories in the newspaper about himself," one biographer wrote.

Question 43

X is a common national personification of the American government originally used during the War of 1812. X is depicted as a stern elderly man with white hair and a goatee beard. Earlier representative figures of the United States included such beings as "Brother Jonathan," used by Punch magazine. These were overtaken by X somewhere around the time of the Civil War....
The well-known "recruitment" image of X was created by James Montgomery Flagg, an illustrator and portrait artist best known for commercial art. The image of X was shown publicly for the first time, according to some, in a picture by Flagg on the cover of the magazine Leslie's Weekly, on July 6, 1916, with the caption "What Are You Doing for Preparedness? More than four million copies of this image were printed between 1917 and 1918. The image also was used extensively during World War II.
