1[[WMG: When ever the [[OrderVersusChaos Cosmic Balance Between Law And Chaos]] is threatened, there will be an incarnation of the [[CosmicPlaything Eternal Champion]] to SetRightWhatOnceWentWrong.]]
2That is, if they can pause from whining about their terrible fate long enough to do so, hopefully without [[TheEndOfTheWOrldAsWeKnowIt destroying the world]] in the process this time. Some possible incarnations include:
3* [[VideoGame/{{Marathon}} The Security Officer]] (and by extension Beowulf, Achilles, Gilgamesh and hundreds of others!)
4* [[Franchise/{{Halo}} Master Chief John-117]] (possibly same as above)
5* [[Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion Shinji Ikari]]
6* [[Franchise/TheMatrix Neo]]
7* [[Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer Buffy Summers]]- in fact, The Slayer is the form which the Champion takes in the Franchise/{{Buffyverse}}.
8* ''Literature/HarryPotter'' (the final chapter shows one of the few 'respites' which Sepriz mentioned to Flamadin/John Daker)
9* [[Literature/{{Discworld}} Rincewind]] - oh, the irony
10* [[Literature/SailorNothing Himei Shoutan]]
11* [[Franchise/EvilDead Ash Williams]] - because even the EC can't be {{Emo}} ''all'' the time. Besides, a chainsaw is '''''so''''' much cooler than some rusty old sword.
12* WesternAnimation/SamuraiJack
13* [[Franchise/{{Dune}} Paul Atreides]]
14* ''ComicBook/CerebusTheAardvark''
15* Webcomic/DominicDeegan - pretty explicitly, in fact
16* [[Webcomic/TheWotch Anne Onymous]], who hasn't been doing it long enough yet to get really depressed about it - give her time, sooner or later CerebusSyndrome will catch up with her
17* Baugb the Elf from ''Elf Life''/''Bookelfs''
18* Reuben Flagg from ''American Flagg!''
19* [[Literature/TheElricSaga Elric of Melniboné]] and anyone else explicitly labeled as an incarnation of the Eternal Champion in the works of Creator/MichaelMoorcock, obviously.
20* Mr. Game & Watch, who'll do it without any whining. He's too damn cool for that.
21* Franchise/TheCrow
22* [[Anime/TengenToppaGurrenLagann Kamina]], who, in turn, incarnates in Simon
23** Or more likley, was a botched incarnation that split the champion's power in half, and only with the death of one could he become complete once more.
24* ''WesternAnimation/WallE'', the little guy worked 700 years to clean up a defiled planet, then [[spoiler:instilled free will to robots and man and helped found a new age of peace]]. Nice work.
25** [[Series/BattlestarGalactica2003 Of course, he's done all of that before, and will do all of it again.]]
26* [[WMG/GrandUnifyingGuessesAvatarTheLastAirbender All incarnations of]] [[WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender The Avatar]]. Including the ones from ''VideoGame/{{Ultima}}'' and ''Franchise/FireEmblem''.[[note]]The first link makes 3 of these mentions [[DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment redundant]], but it's still true for all on that page.[[/note]]
27* [[Franchise/TheLegendOfZelda Link]]...Kind of a given.
28* [[Literature/TheWheelOfTime Rand al'Thor]]
29* [[Series/DoctorWho The Doctor]], of course!
30* WebVideo/ItalianSpiderman
31* [[Literature/TheDresdenFiles Harry Dresden]]. Saved the world three times and counting.
32* [[Series/{{Supernatural}} Sam and Dean Winchester]]. [[spoiler:The Archangel Michael claims it's in their bloodline]].
33* [[VideoGame/BlazBlue Noel Vermillion]]
34* [[Franchise/MassEffect Commander Shepard.]] No more needs to be said.
35* The ''VideoGame/PrinceOfPersia''
36* The [[Franchise/{{Castlevania}} Belmont Clan]]
37* [[Series/OnceUponATime Emma Swan]]
38* The [[Franchise/StarWars Skywalker]] clan.
39* VideoGame/MaxPayne
40* [[VideoGame/TheElderScrollsVSkyrim the Dragonborn]]
41* Holgen Carlsen from Literature/ThreeHeartsAndThreeLions by Creator/PoulAnderson, which were Moorcock got the order versus chaos thing.
42* [[Series/{{Grimm}} Nick Burkhardt]]
43* [[Series/SleepyHollow Ichabod Crane]]
44* [[VideoGame/AceCombat5TheUnsungWar Razgriz]], and by extension all of the ''VideoGame/AceCombat'' protagonists ([[MyFriendsAndZoidberg and]] [[VideoGame/ProjectWingman Monarch]]).
45* The ''VideoGame/ArmoredCore'' protagonists. Named examples include Leos Klein, White Glint, and Strayed. ''Armored Core 2'' and ''for Answer'' provides two rare examples of one Champion (possibly) facing off against a previous one.
46* [[VideoGame/{{Fallout}} Dogmeat.]] [[LegacyCharacter He is eternal, His essence immutable.]] Drawn to young heroes in skin-tight blue jumpsuits, he is fearless and unfailing even in the face of The Great Enemy: [[spoiler: Doors.]][[note]]Technically, really hot doors made of lasers, but "Doors" is funnier.[[/note]]
