I'd say they all manipulated the emotions of others (mostly fear) to gather and exploit power. As jemware and others have mentioned, their authority was based in understanding/mastery of some mystical/mythical/religious agent, which imbued them with powers beyond normal understanding.

1. They were all orphans.
2. None of them completed their education. Hitler quit school; Vader never became a master jedi; Rasputin left the monastery.

Hitler was not an orphan. His biological father was an Austrian customs official Alois Hitler, and his mother was one Klara Pölzl.

Darth Vader was not an orphan either. He had no father, literally, and his mother did not die until he was already an independent, adventuring young man (maybe 20's or so).

Being orphaned doesn't mean you don't have parents, it means your parents have died when you were young. His father died in 1903, when Adolph was 14. His mother in 1907.

According to the legal definition of orphan: "an orphan is a child who does not have any parents because of the death or disappearance of, abandonment or desertion by, or SEPARATION or loss from, both parents." Vader fits that definition.

1. They were all in some form connected to mysticism, i.e. mystery religions.
2. All of them were expected to solve some ill:
Hitler: an economically and socially crushed Germany.
Vader: to bring balance to the force.
Rasputin: Heal a hemophiliac Russian prince.

One thing that Hitler, Vader and Rasputin have in common is, they all thought they were guided by a higher power of some kind.

1. According to an article from the Salt Lake City Tribune, and The Sun (UK):
http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/features/life/article217153.ece

Four years after the LDS Church agreed to stop posthumous baptisms for Jewish Holocaust victims, perhaps the best-known of death camp martyrs—Anne Frank and members of her family—continue to pop up in Mormon temple and genealogical records.

Further, the records show temple work has also been done vicariously for the Holocaust's chief perpetrator, Adolf Hitler, and many of his Nazi henchmen.

Mormons believe proxy baptisms give the dead an opportunity to join the church in the spirit world. Similarly, dead spouses and their children can be "sealed" for eternity, just as living Latter-day Saints enter into eternal marriages and families are "sealed" together in the faith's temples. Only Mormons "in good standing"—those who regularly tithe, live moral and law-abiding lives and adhere to the church's prohibitions against alcohol, tobacco, coffee and tea—are issued "temple recommend" cards that allow entry to temples. . .

. . .church genealogical records contain a "Who's Who" of historical figures targeted for Mormon baptism for the dead, family sealings and marriages in the hereafter.

The list spans both the noble and ignoble, famous and infamous. On one hand is a host of Roman Catholic popes and saints, among them Joan of Arc, Ignatius Loyola and Francis Xavier, the latter now listed as married, or sealed, despite lifelong celibacy.

Columbus also is there, sealed to a Beatriz Enriquez Harana—the explorer's mistress; so are Buddha and the mysterious "Mrs. Buddha." King Henry the VIII, along with several of his six wives, have appeared in church genealogical records, along with the Communist foursome of Karl Marx, Joseph Stalin, Mao Tse-Tung and Ho Chi-Minh.

It is harder to understand why some Mormons choose to offer posthumous salvation to history's tyrants and madmen. Herod the Great, whom the Gospels recount massacred Bethlehem's infant boys in an unsuccessful bid to kill Jesus, was baptized in the Logan Temple in 1994; Ivan the Terrible, Dracula (Vlad "The Impaler," Prince of Wallachia) and Rasputin, spiritual adviser to the doomed Romanov family of Imperial Russia, also have cropped up in church files.

And then there is Hitler, whose dreams of a German Third Reich resulted in the systematic slaughter of 6 million Jews and the deaths of tens of millions of others during World War II.

It took only seconds to retrieve Der Fuehrer's record—and that of wife Eva Braun—from the LDS Church's Ancestral File via the FamilySearch Internet site...

2. They all appeared in a comic book: "Superman meets the Quik Bunny"

3. Also, check out http://uncyclopedia.wikia.com/wiki/Jedi for the weirdest connection between these 3 and similar others...

And lastly,
4. U cant tell any of them apart from the rear :)

Even the Mormons aren't odd enough to try to save Darth Vader, a fictional character.
You could easily tell Rasputin from the rear by his long hair, and Darth Vader by his wounds and scars.
