Line 4: This character has been hit with a [[Viral Transformation]], [[Emergency Transformation]], become a [[Cyborg]], demon, magical creature, [[Alien]] or [[Tomato in the Mirror\|discovers they were never human at all]]. Despite this, and regardless of any angst over [[What Have I Become?]], they decide that rather than go down the path of [[Transhuman Treachery]] and be a [[Smug Super]], [[Black Shirt]], or [[The Quisling]], they will do everything in their power to stay a part of humanity. And if their new species/transhuman fellows [[Anti-Human Alliance\|are anti-human]], they will vow to protect humanity in a pseudo [[Faustian Rebellion]]. This can also include [[~~Transhuman\|transhumans~~transhuman]]s who cast themselves in a shepherd-like role for mankind. This doesn't include forcibly applying [[What Measure Is a Non Super]] to bootstrap humanity up, though. That's more of a [[Visionary Villain]] who believes [[Utopia Justifies the Means]]. Many [[Friendly Neighborhood Vampire~~\|Friendly Neighborhood Vampires~~]]s fall in this category. If the transformation is due to [[The Virus]], this requires copious [[Heroic Willpower]]. These characters can usually pull off a [[Sheep in Wolf's Clothing]] gambit. See also [[Monster Adventurers]]. Related to [[My Species Doth Protest Too Much]], which refers to creatures that aren't former humans. Line 21: * In ''[[Trinity Blood]]'', Abel Nightroad is a Cruznik, a being that feeds upon vampires (and is thus two steps above humans in the [[Food Chain of Evil\|food chain]]). That doesn't stop him from devoting his life to defending humanity, and using his relatively harmless default form to masquerade as a normal human. He is an interesting example of a Pro-Human Transhuman in that he was a [[Designer Baby]] and thus born a transhuman. {{spoiler\|He was also originally quite anti-human.}} * Kira in ''[[Gundam Seed]]'' is accidentally this, being a Coordinator fighting for an army consisting entirely of Naturals (in a war started to exterminate his kind!). Not really his intention: he only fights to protect his friends. * This is [[Invoke~~\|Invoked~~]]d in ''[[Tiger and Bunny]]'' as all of the [[Superhero\|Heroes]] are trans-humans called [[NEX Ts]] with extraordinary powers which they use to save people and stop crimes, all of which are recorded by Hero TV for people's entertainment. == [[Comic Books]] == Line 29: * [[DC Comics]] hero [[Metamorpho]]. * The Thing of [[Fantastic Four]]. * Dr. Manhattan in ''[[Watchmen]]'' in the beginning of the story. Though this is actually his main character ~~arc-- he~~arc—he becomes less and less so as the story goes on, eventually getting to "Why would I save a world I no longer have any stake in?". By the end, spoiler: Silk Spectre II must convince Dr. Manhattan that humans lives are worth protecting. {{spoiler\|It's the revelation that her father is [[Sociopathic Hero\|The Comedian]] that does it - realizing the sheer improbability of human life is enough to restore his interest in protecting it.}} == [[Film]] ==
