Complex named after Napoleon:A "Napoleon complex" refers to someone who is short of stature, but big on ego. Complex not named after Napoleon:Apartment complex.
Most likely place for his hands to be:At the ends of his arms, pointing to various lands he'd conquered. Least likely place for his hands to be:Hidden in his jacket, like in many famous paintings of him. That was just a popular painting pose at the time. He did not have ulcers, itchy skin, or a deformed hand.
Who would play Napoleon in a movie?Jon Stewart. He's the right height, and he thinks fast on his feet. Who would not play Napoleon in a movie?The guy from that "Napoleon Dynamite" movie.
