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.

The president from the West Wing. You know a politician who cared and did the right things despite optics

Dwayne Elizondo Mountain Dew Herbert Camacho

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.

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.

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).

The Doctor from Doctor Who. It'd be nice to think we were all being simultaneously respected, cared for, and defended by someone smarter and kinder than most of us.

The person I know I could be.

Vaporeon.

God.

Specifically the version of God that is simultaneously all good, all knowing, and all powerful.

Were our universe created by such a being, evil could not exist: our reality would be very, very, very different compared to the dumpster fire that we all get to experience.

Superman bc he was created originally to fight Nazis.

Ted Lasso

We all need that kind of positivity

Captain planet (he's our hero) (gonna take pollution down to zero)!

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

Victor von Doom.

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

Is there a fictional character that kills billionaires? If so then that one.

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...

Lieutenant Commander Data.

Everett True - !truecomics@midwest.social

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.

God would be interesting.

Dale Cooper

Sonic the Hedgehog. He goes really fast like this-PSSHHWWWWW!

Cthulhu. There is only one way to properly cleanse this world.

Santa Claus. I can't believe no one say Santa Claus.

I'll take the hyper-intelligent, godlike alien from Rejoice, A Knife to the Heart who makes violence impossible and gives everyone free food.

Me having a good day

Jesus

Any of the Minds from Iain M. Banks Culture series, because that would mean the Culture was real and I want to live there.

I guess for a specific one, maybe the Arbitrary? That one seems pretty chill and knows where Earth is:

Also while I'd been away, the ship had sent a request on a postcard to the BBC's World Service, asking for 'Mr David Bowie's "Space Oddity" for the good ship Arbitrary and all who sail in her.' (This from a machine that could have swamped Earth's entire electro-magnetic spectrum with whatever the hell it wanted from somewhere beyond Betelgeuse.) It didn't get the request played. The ship thought this was hilarious.

Kim Wexler

trogdor, but instead of burninating the pesants, he burninates the aristocracy.
