Oh that's not fair, Leslie Knope is the public servant we all deserve.

I'll throw in a few.

I want Dr. Cox and JD to be my medical team, the two of them would do everything they could.

I want my local burger shop to be Bob's.

And I wish Captain Holt was a real police commissioner.

    : Only a signal shown and a distant voice in the darkness;
    : So on the tracks of life we pass and speak one another,
    : Only a look and a voice; then darkness again and a silence."

    Robin Hood, but modernized as a 21st-century hacker type so that he can cope in today's world. But I'd still like him to look like he belongs in an edgy 90s movie, complete with green tights, for authenticity's sake.

    Luthen Rael from Star Wars Andor. We need people like him right now.

    Samuel Vimes commander of the Ankh-Morpork city watch (and Detritus so people have no choice but to do as he says).

    His Grace, His Excellency, The Duke of Ankh, Commander Sir Samuel Vimes of the Ankh-Morpork City Watch (and Blackboard Monitor)

    (and Blackboard Monitor)

    Still gets me every time. The best Dwarfs call each-other as each introduces themselves. And that Vimes introduced himself this way in an un-filtered moment implies it matters to him, deep inside.

    We could really, really use an environmentalist power that isn't beholden to any nation or company.

    If we're going for authoritarianism, at least let's have someone competent in charge.

    Seems to be something from that SCP thing?

    What does that have to do with anything?

    Superman.

    Yeah, that’s an obvious choice, but I like his character more than his superpowers. He’s civil and polite to various world governments, but ultimately, there’s no stopping him from doing the right thing.

    If he’s too powerful and that’s a negative to you, substitute Captain America. The same reasoning applies.

    Maybe an unpopular opinion, and I only know the MCU version of Captain America, but he gave me republican vibes (conservative, puritan, trying to make a coup if he believes he's right, ...)

    And yes I do realize that originally he was created as the ultimate antifa warrior

    Sam Raimi's version of Spider-Man. He's an agent of the common man, and obviously someone with super powers would be amazing. However he isn't so powerful that he couldn't be subdued if he were to become evil. The only problem is I don't live in NYC...

    All of the good guys; none of the bad guys. Except Bebop and Rocksteady. They're not so bad without Shredder and Krang.

    Samwise Gamgee, Gandalf, and Aragorn from LOTR. Or just basically every sage/wise archetype character in stories. Need their wisdom to help me get thru life to prevent me from falling into another depressive episode.

    R2D2. Would like a robot friend that makes funny beeps and boops sounds so I won't be sad 24/7.

    Leon Kennedy from Resident Evil (game), Dante and Vergil from Devil May Cry (game). They seem cool and are badass.

    I am not too deep into the lore of Superman, but is it possible that you mean Captain America? Or is there something about Superman and nazis?

    The word you are looking for is didactic. He was very didactic, indeed. But didn't kill or jail people or deny human rights bc of color or religion.

    He was pretty nazi, in the Ubermensch sense of the word. A godlike, infallible upstanding moral (white) American, spreading peace through violence, as a blatant propaganda tool to sell people on the supremacy of the American dream and American exceptionalism.
