Well, we are looking for a man, most likely, who is very intelligent. He will be "without regard for women." He'll probably be celibate. Daniel described him as "The king with a fierce countenance," so we are looking for someone who appears to be very angry. Probably someone with the facial expressions of a Hitler or Stalin.
Then, there is the idea that it is a group of people. Namely the world body that is the anti-Christ. If that be the case, then the whole act of Christ overcoming the anti-Christ is symbolic for a change in consciousness of humanity.
