We have been told that the Anti-Christ will be a very charismatic, adored, and admired by many.

Yes, he's been adored by millions the world over for many centuries.  ;)

From the beginning in the garden... I would say it’s the nature of his deadly game. Satan the devil, the spirit of error, the god of this world, the beast, as the father of lies began that work of making the word of God to no effect from the beginning by questioning the authority of God, as below.

Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the Lord God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden? Genesis 3

Because today we know that Christians do not wrestle against flesh and blood as to an outward appearance…. as if we did look to a sign, but I believe should look to Satan the spirit of error which is used against more than one ruler of the darkness of this world, but multiply (plural).... as rulers found in high places like the Nazi government for one of the many that hate word of God, or religious organizations that make the word of God to no effect by snatching the seed of Christ, as those that had no ground to start with, to receive the root of Jesse, the gospel of our salvation.

Ephesians 6:12For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places

Also knowing we are not to look for any outward sign to include this one involving the antichrist. Seeing the last sign and wonder that showed God was working was given in regard to Jonas, which Christ fulfilled at the cross. And today to look for one a particular outward of the flesh person to fulfill that sign would fall under the classification as an evil generation, as those in Adam, unconverted natural man, without the Spirit of Christ.

I believe our focus should be on the spirit of error rather than trying to put an outward body on the spirit of lies, the god of this world who does come like a thief in the night attempting to snatch the seed that God does plant in our hearts.

Luke 11:29And when the people were gathered thick together, he began to say, This is an evil generation: they seek a sign; and there shall no sign be given it, but the sign of Jonas the prophet.

I would never promote a rock and roll group and probably never listened to the whole song but I believe they hit the nail on the head according to the “Sympathy For The Devil”, which could of just as well been called the “Sympathy For The Antichrist”, seeing they are one in the same.

If the antichrists are here which scripture confirms they are, we therefore, I believe can be sure their father as the spirit of error, Satan, is leading them just as he did when he deceived Peter .

Then Peter took him, and began to rebuke him, saying, Be it far from thee, Lord: this shall not be unto thee. But he turned, and said unto Peter, Get thee behind me, Satan: thou art an offence unto me: for thou savourest not the things that be of God, but those that be of men. Mathew 16:22-23

I would suggest instead of looking for a sign and wonder. That Christians would study and learn the difference between the things of men, as those that do offend our God, and things of men. And not as if we did wrestle against flesh and blood as a way of seeking the identity of the antichrist.

Again, he been around a long, long time,  it’s the nature of His deadly game to seduce other he is comming, when he is already here.
