He found the Space Marines dead or out cold and rallied those young men who had been chosen. Koris recovered and concluded that Rafen had learned his lesson, so he got to be [[The Hero]] anyway.
* Antigra in the [[Redwall]] book ''Taggerung'' is convinced her son Gruven should have been the Taggerung (the chosen super-warrior) rather than Tagg, the hero of the book.

** A bit of a subversion, because Arata gets the powers of [[Kamen Rider|The Bee]] for a brief time and then becomes [[Kamen Rider|Gatack]].
