Grand Unifying Guesses Eternal Champions

When ever the Cosmic Balance Between Law And Chaos is threatened, there will be an incarnation of the Eternal Champion to Set Right What Once Went Wrong.

That is, if they can pause from whining about their terrible fate long enough to do so, hopefully without destroying the world in the process this time. Some possible incarnations include:

The Security Officer (and by extension Beowulf, Achilles, Gilgamesh and hundreds of others!)
Master Chief John-117 (possibly same as above)
Shinji Ikari
Neo
Buffy Summers- in fact, The Slayer is the form which the Champion takes in the Buffy Verse
Harry Potter (the final chapter shows one of the few 'respites' which Sepriz mentioned to Flamadin/John Daker)
Rincewind - oh, the irony
Himei Shoutan
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.
Samurai Jack
Paul Atreides
Cerebus
Dominic Deegan - pretty explicitly, in fact
Anne Onymous, who hasn't been doing it long enough yet to get really depressed about it - give her time, sooner or later Cerebus Syndrome will catch up with her
Baugb the Elf from Elf Life/Bookelfs
Reuben Flagg from American Flagg!
Elric of Melniboné and anyone else explicitly labeled as an incarnation of the Eternal Champion in the works of Michael Moorcock, obviously.
Mr. Game & Watch, who'll do it without any whining. He's too damn cool for that.
The Crow
Kamina, who, in turn, incarnates in Simon
- 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.
Wall-E, the little guy worked 700 years to clean up a defiled planet, then instilled free will to robots and man and helped found a new age of peace. Nice work.
- Of course, he's done all of that before, and will do all of it again.
All incarnations of The Avatar. Including The Totally Unrelated Avatar.*
The first link makes 3 of these mentions redundant
, but it's still true for all on that page.]]
Suicide.
Link...Kind of a given.
Rand al'Thor
The Doctor, of course!
Italian Spiderman
Harry Dresden. Saved the world three times and counting.
Sam and Dean Winchester. The Archangel Michael claims it's in their bloodline.
Noel Vermillion
Commander Shepard. No more needs to be said.
The Prince of Persia
The Belmont Clan
Emma Swan
