The Da Vinci Code said it all!
X
X invented something that bears his name. It is one of the most famous conundrums in the history of the subject. It is often found in nature, some instances being shown in the 2nd pic. What am I talking about?
P.S. Nobody has given the correct explanation of the 2nd picture collage!

Be different!
X
X was a prominent Texas lawyer, politician, land baron and one of the signers of the Texas Declaration of Independence. He was also interested in cattle rearing and was an avid rancher. But for some reason, he never used to brand his cattle, contrary to the common practice. When asked about this, he told that he didn't want to hurt the animals. His competitors however insinuated that he did this because it enabled him to claim any unbranded cattle as his own! Other sources state that he didn't do it because he was too less interested in cattle rearing to spend his time in branding them. His surname has entered the English lexicon since then as someone that refuses to abide by the dictates of or resists adherence to a group. Identify X and the word.

The day when David spun a web around the Jackal.....
X is a notorious murderer, presently incarcerated for good. He is mostly known by his attacks on OPEC headquarters in Vienna, when he murdered 3 people. He is also a member of Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, and was, at one time, one of the most wanted international fugitives. He is popularly known by a moniker which The Guardian accorded to him after a famous novel Y by Z was found among his belongings during a police raid. He is much more famously portrayed in a popular trilogy A by B, where the main antagonist shares the same moniker and even has the same mannerisms and crime-pattern. Identify X, Y, Z, A, B.

Tastes so good, your character hides under a hood.....
Ernesto X was a notorious American criminal of 1960s. He was regularly imprisoned for robbing, raping and assaulting women. Finally one rape victim identified him positively, and he was arrested. The police then did a tactical mistake, which resulted in a long chain of events that included his acquittal and subsequent arrest and trial, which finally incarcerated him for a long time. However the law was wise enough to learn a lesson from the loophole that had nearly allowed Ernesto to get off scott-free, and since then had incorporated that lesson as an important feature of all legal proceedings against such convicts. Give me the funda. Think of The Shawshank Redemption.
