A guy named RetroGod died a while back... A lot of people, myself included, looked up to him. He found 200+ exploits within a couple years, really a genius when it comes to understanding code. He was a plethora of knowledge, and contributed a lot.
Other than that, no other names come to mind, really.

The king is the one you don't know about. Who doesn't have a name. Thanks Clover :)

Didn't a certain man possibly called dav/eddie hijack some Bulgarian-communist network for weeks and weeks wrecking havoc?
Or something along those lines... Nearly two decades ago??
Now? No idea.

zero for 0wned, to some extent.
Also whoever it is that's currently in charge of Phrack is pretty good i'm betting.

Woz.
He will be the best until the day he dies.
Also, my buddy Dave is a damn genius; it seems like he immediately understands new code or platforms or hardware or whatever without even having to fiddle with it... it's like he watches it go once and he has an intuitive understanding of its deepest inner workings and he can hack with it immediately.
A damn genius.
Dave, you rock.
