Mmmm... Mahatma Gandhi. I wish at least. If more people paid attention to what he had to say, there'd be a lot more understanding and a lot less violence in the world.
Then there's... Abraham Lincoln, Jesus, Martin Luther King Jr., Adolf Hitler (No one can deny he had a huge influence on the world), Rosa Parks, John F. Kennedy, Muhammad, Isaac Newton, Buddha, Confucius, Aristotle, Einstein, Galileo, Christopher Columbus (2nd one after the vikings to discover the United States, the one who took it over from the Native Americans and colonized it.), Caesar, Constantine The Great (legalized Christianity), George Washington, Karl Marx (founded communism), William Shakespeare, Alexander The Great, Plato, John Lennon, Orville and Wilbur Wright (Invented the Airplane), Charles Darwin, Henry Ford, Napoleon Bonaparte, Montezuma, Harry S. Truman (the one who decided to use the two A-Bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki).
It's hard to say who is the most influential. They all had a huge influence on different things.

Moses. This was the first essentially messiah of a popular monotheistic faith. His presence (or at least the mythologized re-telling of his accomplishments) has influenced world belief systems ever since, both in the good and, more regularly, the wicked and tragic. Whether there is fact to the biblical record of this man, as well as the many others who are remembered as something they likely weren't to this day and praised, even worshipped for it, the fact of their influence cannot be denied.

Hercules!
He founded most of the known large and famous cities in the west and east, like Paris!
He traveled from the Pacific to the Central Asia to Africa, all over Europe, etc.!
He put the foundation of what the known and unknown leaders based their influence on!
