Magnificent Seven: Tie between Vin Tanner and Ezra Standish

SG1: Daniel Jackson

SGA: Tie between Sheppard and McKay

SPN: Dean. Definately Dean. His woobieness is epic in canon.

A:tLA: Zuko (his own father horribly maimed him, his sister wants to kill him, he was banished from his home at 13 with orders not to return until he'd completed a task thought to be impossible, and everyone either thinks he's evil or thinks he worthless. He is the best part of the entire series other than Toph and Iroh. Particularly since he doesn't *blame* his father for deliberately maiming and then exiling him).

Marvel Comics: Tony Stark, Gambit, Spiderman (who is less a woobie per se and more the guy with a cosmic "kick me" sign taped to his back who can never get a break), and, weirdly, Deadpool. Wolverine pings a lot of people's woobie radar, but it's difficult to really beat him up given the healing factor. Daredevil is a total woobie in canon, but there's very little fic about him.

ST: Reboot: Kirk, particularly in Kirk/McKoy stories, where the fragile woobie Kirk trope seems strongest.

ST: Voyager: Tom Paris. He was raped in prison, you know (or at least, so every slash writer ever tells us)

NCIS: DiNozzo

Smallville: Definately Lex, in canon and in a lot of fic, but there are a lot of authors who enjoyed woobifying Clark, as well.

Gundam Wing: Duo Maxwell. Why did I read all those abused!cutter!Duo stories back when I was nineteen? I knew they sucked even then.

FMA: Edward Elric (in canon, Roy probably shares top woobie billing with him, though)
Harry Potter: Draco, Harry, and Snape in a three-way tie, I think. Sirius comes in just behind them in forth place, though, and if you're going directly off canon, it's a Sirius/Snape two-way tie for experiencing the most canonical misery and suck.

Warnings: Noncon, dubcon, torture, past child abuse and incest, betrayal, cutting, slavery, underage sex, involuntary drug use and addiction, porn, some swears,

This is essentially a summary of everything that happens to the hero in canon in the Lymond chronicles, if you subtract the noncon/child abuse (keeping the incest) and replace it with "goes temporarily blind from sheer angst" and "repeated suicide attempts."
