Napoleon Bonaparte affected (and, in some ways, still affects) popular culture in at least two closely related ways. First, as a symbol for the power of a common individual with remarkable skills, and still more remarkable ambitions, he exerted an influence both awe-inspiring and terrifying, that is, both positive and negative. Second, in and through his empowerment of Revolutionary France, he spread revolutionary ideals throughout the many different cultures and socio-political groups of Europe -- and beyond -- which had a world-changing effect as the 19th century progressed into the 20th.
