despite being the product of nepotism and a very successful PR campaign by his mom, Alexander in the end DID conquer more land in a single lifetime than any other individual has.

Temüjin founded a large empire and was a great warlord, but it was incredibly decentralized and his actual power was limited simply due to its size and the nature of the government.

Never interacted. One of the successor states threw British ambassadors into a pit full of bugs before executing them, though.

Yup. The ability to find out everything about someone and kill them is usually reserved for God, but it turns out counter-terrorism based on people's fear is also a contender.

At least Genghis' conquests lasted, and he actually had some heirs worthy of what he conquered

At least Alexander conquered a centralized political entity
All Genghis did was subjugate steppe hordes and tribes and start an invasion of China

On the other hand most of the British Empire's landmass was made up of Canada, Australia and India aka Snow Wastland, Rock Wasteland, and Former Trade Partner Keked in the Ass by Sneaky Commercial Policies (respectively).

We can play that game with anyone.

Everyone just seems to get on Genghis Khan dick about being a great conquer, but the reality is that it was his successors that captured the big populated areas of the Mongol Empire

Are we talking in terms of influence relative to the time? I'm a bit rusty on my history, but the first Persian Emperors where worshiped as gods by their subjects and had complete free reign to do whatever. Doesn't get more powerful than that.

The Shah was quite possibly the strongest empire in the world at the time. But the Shah was also an old man who lost his balls and lost his head and made it easy for the Mongols. If his son was in charge the entire time Genghis would have run back to China without conquering anything.
