Leslie Knope for me!
Roland Deschain, the Gunslinger from The Dark Tower. I'd like to see what he'd do in a present-day USA.

As Leslie Knope is already taken, I choose Susan Sto Helit. It would have been so fun to be in her class, too.
Motoko Kusanagi.
How, is she when she doesn't surf?
I wonder what she does when she wakes up.
...
How, does she so perfectly surf?
...
She's incredible math.

Not a person, but a place. Namely the prison from Red Dwarf where everything you do to someone else, you did to yourself.

Optimus Prime. I wish giant robot dad was around to fix mine and the world's problems.
I hadn't heard of Leslie Knope. I looked her up and ok, but Archibald Tuttle from Brazil is more my style. Heh.
Ooh, you are in for a treat my friend. Parks and Recreation is a modern classic.
The first season is a bit rough. But once Adam Scott joins the cast, it becomes legendary.

A really good "people first in mind" politician. But that's only in fairy tales.
This characters punches are as powerful as nukes, can survive being hit by several nukes, has nearly indestructible arms, can fly really fast, being able to reach space in seconds, has managed to invent interplanetary teleportation, knows about the afterlife, even making an ability that prevents people he killed from coming back to life, can destroy the observable universe by concentrating for a minute and does not require food, water or oxygen
The planet he ruled seemed pretty peaceful
A nice variant of a genie could also work

I’ll go with Knope as well.

I’ll go with an obscure one and say TRON. I think it would be really incredible if there was an actual sentient program on my computer that worked actively to maintain, improve, and secure my system.
We get a limited view of that on the movies, but I would really enjoy being able to just open communication with the computer directly and ask it to help with complex work.
Essentially AGI instead of LLM.

V. Rather give me anarchy if our shitty government is the alternative.
