Wouldn't it be cool if a fictional character in your story was either wholly or partially responsible for a famous real-life historical event? If you're the author, you can make it happen!
Though in many cases a well-written character in their own right, this character simply cannot get around the fact that a good chunk of their screen time is being the driving force behind major events that have already been written or described by others. In effect, they are made more interesting by association due to having "guest-starred" in a suitably major event.
Oftentimes the character will be written in so that they can contribute to or take the place of whatever causes led to the real event, without radically changing that event's outcome or legacy. For example, you can have superheroes, supervillains, robots, zombies, aliens, vampires, alien vampires and whatnot play a decisive role in World War II, but the Holocaust, the invasion of Poland, the invasion of France, Pearl Harbor, the invasion of Normandy, and the defeats of Germany and Japan will still happen, just for different reasons. On the other hand, you aren't necessarily prevented from creating an Alternate History where your character does cause history to take a different path.
Supertrope to Historical Rap Sheet. Almost always the source of a Historical In-Joke. See Seemingly Profound Fool, Mistaken for Special Guest. Contrast Beethoven Was an Alien Spy where a real historical figure is given fictional adventures, and Julius Beethoven da Vinci where multiple real historical figures were actually the same long-lived or time-travelling person. Can often cross over with Noodle Incident and Real Event, Fictional Cause. May or may not involve Time Travel.

Watchmen:
It's heavily implied in the comic (and outright stated in The Movie) that the Comedian was the gunman who killed John F. Kennedy back in 1963. Though Before Watchmen claims it isn't true; Eddie was occupied with Moloch during the assassination. However, it does claim that he killed Marilyn Monroe and Robert F. Kennedy.
Doc Manhattan is there waiting when Neil Armstrong steps out of the lunar lander. And the famous Victory Kiss photograph after World War II is a bit different due to the presence of a certain female vigilante in place of the male sailor.

Averted in Jago. Susan is one of a small number of psychic Talents identified by a government research body that tries to find people like her and find uses for them. She recalls that one way they tried to get her to be useful was to apply her psychometry to a collection of items related to the Yorkshire Ripper murders. However, she didn't have any effect on the investigation; the few things she was able to gather about the murderer turned out to be true when he was caught, but that happened without her input because the police considered her impressions too vague to be useful.

In Perturabo in Remnant, the titular Primarch came to Remnant about a hundred years before the main timeline and thus played a significant role in the world's recent history. He fought in the Great War against the kingdoms of Mantle and Mistral, made the profession of Hunters more widespread, and built Beacon Academy, to name a few. In the follow-up setting, when he joins the Imperium of Man, he naturally plays a significant role in shaping Imperial history.

An episode of Blossom spoofed the trope namer in a dream sequence. Blossom had this role and was responsible for inadvertently giving Michael Jackson the inspiration for the moonwalk. The parody is spoiled because the writers didn't do their research — they meet after the Pepsi commercial shoot which left him injured, which was in 1984. He first performed the moonwalk the previous year.

The Chaotic Masters:
The titular Physical Gods evidently caused the eruption of Mount Vesuvius, and created Mts. Everest and Kilimanjaro, among other things they did for fun over the centuries.
The Knights of Entropy, the Meridian-based militant order of the Chaostism religion which worships the Masters, have been secretly influencing events in other parts of the world for centuries. For instance, they are confirmed to have caused the Great Fire of London, and are also suspected to have been involved in Frollo's actions, as well as the French Revolution and rise of Napoleon.

In The Unknown Supergirl, Supergirl time-travels to 1692, and is reminded of rumors about a so-called "Golden Witch" who terrorized the country in that same year and then disappeared suddenly. As she is wondering if she will manage to unravel the mystery, Kara decides to help out a nearby village. She provides food, potable water, coal, and medicine for the frightened farmers before flying back to her own time, unaware that their powers have been mistaken for witchcraft. Once she checks an encyclopedia, Kara realizes she was the "Golden Witch".

The Magic Treehouse: Averted for the most part, Jack and Annie are typically discouraged from interfering too greatly with events in time periods they visit. In "Earthquake Early in the Morning", this gets played with as Jack is unable to save a bunch of books from burning during the 1906 SF earthquake but he and Annie wind up as the subjects of an old photo symbolizing hope for the people of the city by the bay in this grim time.

The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles:
Befriending T.E. Lawrence and helping him take Jerusalem, drinking with Picasso, losing his virginity to Mata Hari, inspiring the Red Baron to paint his plane red, killing Dracula himself, and hunting Al Capone: just some of the less extreme contrivances in young Henry Jones Junior's life. If he or she's famous in the 20th century, Indy has probably befriended, fought, fallen in love with, and/or slept with that person.
The book series added a bit more. For example, Indy was discussing the origins and bases of the character of Sherlock Holmes with Arthur Conan Doyle shortly before returning to the United States. Aboard the Titanic.
And in a reversal, Jenny Sparks from The Authority is said to have known Indiana Jones. It's somewhat justified there, in that Jenny is the "spirit of the 20th century" — being Been There Shaped History is part of the job description.

In "The Gang Wins the Super Bowl", Dee, suffering from red-eye, rubs her face with a towel. That towel is passed to Tom Brady, who's thus infected, causing him to miss a key pass that allows the Eagles to win the Super Bowl.
"2020 A Year In Review" reveals that Mac and Dennis' attempts to fire up support for Kanye West caused the voter slowdown; Frank was the one who gave Rudy Guilliani his infamous "melting" hair dye; and Dee and Charlie made the costumes for the January 6 Capitol rioters.

The Simpsons:
Grandpa Simpson's increasingly bizarre backstory seems to indicate that he was somehow involved in every negative chapter of US history.
The same seems to be true of Mr. Burns. Being impossibly old, his influence extends to all negative chapters of world history.
In a related example to Mr. Burns, his teddy bear Bobo (its origin story being a reference to Citizen Kane) was also involved in inspiring Charles Lindbergh to cross the Atlantic Ocean in his plane, and upon arriving in France, he threw the bear at the crowd cheering him, where it was picked up by Hitler inspiring to do all the stuff he did (and Hitler blamed it for everything going wrong during his final minutes at his bunker) and was also stuck in the periscope of the US submarine which first reached the North Pole underwater, where it got frozen and was recovered by an expedition sent there to collect ice bags for Apu to sell. A deleted scene showed it involved in the Kennedy assassination.

Why is the Colosseum partially collapsed? Guess. Apparently, most of the destruction done to landmarks from ancient history is Obelix's fault (What's really impressive about this one is that Obelix collapsed part of the Colosseum 120 years before it was even built).

In The Pillars of the Earth two main characters are present at the assassination of Thomas Becket. William was one of the assassins, and it was Philip's idea to make a saint of him. A large section of the book can also be described as "how Jack introduced Gothic architecture to England."

Lyra Heartstrings, known in the fandom for some of her more human-like tendencies, sees this from afar and decides to start trying it herself.

Played with by Years and Years, a miniseries that takes the Forrest Gump style of storytelling and applies it not to the nostalgic past, but a dystopian future history stretching from The Present Day of 2019 to 2033. The personal drama and growth of the Lyons family happens against the backdrop of the rise of Vivienne Rook, the populist leader of the Four Star Party who grows in popularity as various crises afflict the UK and the world during the troubled 2020s.

DC Universe Online often has parallel missions between Heroes and Villains. Usually the Villain mission would logically occur before the hero missions (for example: a villain mission about stealing weapons from the military and distributing them to local thugs will lead to a hero mission to stop thugs armed with military-grade weaponry).

Don Rosa is not the only Disney author that did that. In multiple Italian stories, via either time travel, flashbacks, or other kinds of stories set in the past, Disney characters found themselves responsible for various events. Gus Goose invented the shape of the American Football doors, Donald Duck accidentally suggested the plot for E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial to Steven Spielberg when they were briefly in the same class at elementary school, Daisy Duck's great-great-grandma inspired the character of Sherlock Holmes... and so on.

It turns out he's a Phony Veteran only stormed Omaha Beach two weeks after the war for a photo op. Instead, he gained military experience in quelling civil unrest, his actions including hosing Civil Rights protestors in Birmingham and shooting anti-war protestors at Kent State. He may have also shot JFK in Dealy Plaza.

The Notre Dame cathedral in Paris, France has two pillars on its balcony missing, one of its gargoyles broken off, and the doorknob smashed off one of its doors. According to the climax of The Hunchback of Notre Dame (Disney), Quasimodo broke off those two pillars which Frollo chained him to, to save Esmeralda from being burned at the stake. During the final battle, Frollo smashes off the doorknob on one of the cathedral doors to enter the cathedral, and the damaged gargoyle is the one that dispatches Frollo in the end. None of this is called attention to in the film itself, being more of a Genius Bonus than an immediately-obvious historical joke.

According to Jack of All Trades, there was no Louisiana Purchase. Napoleon lost all the territory in a card game with the Daring Dragoon.
Also, the Daring Dragoon prevented Napoleon from using a certain statue he planned to give to the US as a Trojan Horse while distracting the French with a friendly game of American football... which wasn't invented until over 80 years later.
This didn't prevent Jack from claiming that it was an American tradition to play football during Thanksgiving. Given that there were no TVs then, he couldn't very well say "watch football", but still...

Immortals in Highlander: The Series live for centuries, so they have plenty of opportunity to mix with some pivotal events. Given their potential lifespan, if a character doesn't actively seek out a historic event, it's likely that one will just happen while they're around.
Pompeii was the result of an Immortal being killed on sacred ground. There's a reason why all Immortals respect sacred ground.
The title character, Duncan MacLeod, being 400 years old has plenty of history to get involved in, but he goes out of his way to involve himself in events relating to Scottish nationalism. He was a soldier in Bonnie Prince Charlie's army in the Jacobite rebellion of 1745, unsuccessfully advised the Charles to try again 14 years later, and stole the Stone of Scone in 1950. During World War 2, he was a British spy operating in occupied Europe and was part of Operation Valkyrie, the unsuccesfull attempt to kill Hitler.
Many present day plots involve Duncan trying to stop another Immortal from attempting to shape history through an assassination or terrorist plot.

An in-universe example from Modern Warfare 3: after it is exposed that Makarov knows Yuri, Yuri tells Price about his involvement in various affairs earlier in the series - he and Makarov were in the jeep that got Zakhaev safely away after Price shot his arm off in Pripyat from "One Shot, One Kill", they were there to personally detonate Al-Asad's nuke in "Shock and Awe", and Yuri was meant to be a sixth shooter in the massacre from "No Russian", though he was shot in the gut after having second thoughts and ended up trying to stop the massacre, only to fall unconscious from blood loss.

Shows up occasionally in The Dresden Files. Ebenezer McCoy claims credit for The Tunguska Event, Krakatoa, and the New Madrid earthquake. Kemmler was behind World War I (though exactly how he did it is left vague). It's implied that the Red Court caused a lot of the general bad governance in Latin America. The short story "Even Hand" implies that Gard assisted Admiral Nelson at the Battle of Trafalgar.

The Warner Bros, and the Warner Sister, due to their ability to exist in several time periods, have had run-ins with several historical figures and had a big influence over their achievements. They've inspired Albert Einstein to write E=MC, helped Michelangelo Buonarroti paint the Sistine Chapel, and inspired Pablo Picasso and Beethoven. One particular episode shows how they influenced many 20th Century events during the times they had to leave the Tower for it to be fumigated, including the Yalta Conference and the fall of the Berlin Wall.

SCP Foundation: Although the write-ups usually try to hint rather than state things outright (it's more fun that way), several SCPs are implied to have been involved with or caused various historical events, including what we thought was the atomic bomb. In particularly bad incidents, entire geographical formations have been blamed on SCPs, and had to be passed off as natural by way of massive amnesiacs distribution.
On a more mundane level, the Iran-Contra Affair came about because a senior Foundation official facilitated the initial leak of classified information, purely to spite the US Department of Defence's own anomalous objects taskforce as part of a feud over Jurisdiction Friction, Inter-Service Rivalry, and petty institutional politics.

Monty Python's Life of Brian shows Brian attending a speech by Jesus, being mistaken for Jesus, and being involved in numerous other Bible shenanigans.
"He's not the Messiah. He's a very naughty boy!"
Funnily enough, the original idea for the movie was a subversion. Brian was envisioned as an unheard-of apostle who, because of various contrivances and scheduling conflicts, was constantly forced to miss the important events Jesus took part in (the Last Supper, the Crucifixion, etc.).

In the PandoraHearts Continuation fanfic Beyond the Winding Road, the three major wars we hear about throughout the story are far more intimately connected to the main cast than they first appear. All three of Sable's major wars in the past 100 years (the Revolution, Great Tousterre, and Idvitzen Invasion) basically dominoed from actions taken by the characters during the manga. The destructive climax of Pandora Hearts became the flashpoint of a building anti-nobility movement against the Four Great Dukedoms which led to the Revolution and divesting of the nobility; the Revolution's political instability opened up an opportunity for the Empire of Lucya to make a power grab that caused the Great Tousterre War; and the tensions left between Sable and its enemies in that war led to the Idvitzen invasion three decades later.

Several times, Mortadelo y Filemón have become parties to several important historical events. For example, in El Quinto Centenario, drawn to commemorate the 500th anniversary of the discovery of America, they get accidentally sent to the past and become part of the crew that discovers America, next to Cristobal Colón (who resembles Felipe González, Spanish President in 1992) and Fray Requemado Sinsilla (who is drawn to be like Alfonso Guerra, Spain's vice-president in 1992), Pepe Gotera, Otilio and Rompetechos (all of them Ibáñez's characters). For example, Mortadelo and Filemón cause the sinking of the Pinta in the Americas.
Siglo XX, ¡qué progreso! has Mortadelo, Filemón, Ofelia and Bacterio travel to the start of the twentieth century, and become part of history: they cause the Russian-Japanese War, World War I and II, Ofelia becomes Mata-Hari and kills Rasputin, they meet the Wright Brothers, Mortadelo and Filemón are nearly executed during the Spanish Civil War, they become acquainted with many small and great inventions...

Forever Knight. Although Nicholas and Janette have met their share of famous people, it's their maker Lucien LaCroix who appears to have had the most influence on history. He claims, "I taught Nero the tune, and together we watched Rome burn." He also ordered the execution of Grigori Rasputin to help bring about the Russian Revolution. Averted when LaCroix meets Adolf Hitler, briefly considers turning him, then changes his mind—decades later he wonders how history might have been changed if he'd gone ahead.

Conversations with a Cryptid: All For One was alive during the rise of quirks. He founded Japan's earliest vigilante association, which became the first supervillain league when it was outlawed.

Blue Eye Samurai: In the final episode the battle between Mizu and Fowler indirectly results in (a version of) the Great Fire of Meireki in 1657. Of course, the history of the series is somewhat different to real life ( case in point, the show's version of the fire destroys the Shogun's palace and happens concurrently with the death of the Shogun, neither of which happened in real life) so it's more like "Been there, shaped alternate history".

An April Fool’s day video from Overly Sarcastic Productions in the form of a YouTuber Apology Parody sees Red and Blue apologize for causing several historical and mythical events — Red for sinking Atlantis by pressing a random button, causing The Tunguska Event by plugging a power bar into itself, not crying when Balder died because she doesn’t like crying in public, and telling Pandora she dropped her keys in the box; and Blue for drunkenly explaining monotheism to Akhenaten, sarcastically recommending guillotining everyone to Robespierre, telling Virgil that no one would notice if he copied off of Homer, stealing the Horses of St. Mark from Constantinople because he wanted to pull his weight during The Crusades (which he’s also sorry for), kidnapping Tripitaka once, and stealing the Library of Alexandria while burning the foundation to cover his tracks.

At one point in Hellsing Ultimate Abridged, the centuries old vampire Alucard casually mentions having "unknowingly shot Archduke Ferdinand and blamed it on some other guy", thus making him responsible for the events of World War I, and, indirectly, World War II. It's also retroactively implied that he was responsible for Pope Benedict's retirement via all the death threats he'd been sending.

The Three Musketeers was historical fiction partly based on people who actually lived at the courts of Louis XIII and Louis XIV. Among other examples, it inserts Milady De Winter into the 1628 assassination of the Duke of Buckingham, all four musketeers into the execution of Charles I and the eventual restoration of Charles II, Athos' son Raoul into the story of Louis XIV's mistress Louise de la Valliere, and D'Artagnan into nearly every military campaign of any significance in the 17th century.

Ultimate Marvel:
Inverted with Captain America. According to Ultimate Origins, the Super-Soldier was going to be the best weapon the US had in the war, but he (seemingly) died while trying to stop a Nazi-alien rocket. Unable to use him anymore, the US had to resort to atomic bombs instead to end the war with Japan.
The Ultimates: Red Skull assassinated John F. Kennedy, took part in the Vietnam War, worked for two of the most brutal dictators of the 20th century (Pol Pot of Cambodia and Idi Amin of Uganda), worked for the Russians in Afghanistan and has trained and fought alongside terrorist groups across the entire globe. Basically envision all the terrible shit that occurred during the latter half of the 20th century and he probably had some involvement in it.

Atomic Robo alternately averts this trope and plays it straight. Robo participates in World War II in a story where Robo is off on a side mission while real-life soldiers are fighting real-life battles; goes along for the ride for the first Mars probe mission but does not contribute anything to the actual accomplishments of NASA; and he declares himself neutral during the Cold War. He has, however, been to the moon, but probably well after humans had already made it. Essentially, Atomic Robo qualifies in that he's around for all sorts of historical events, but he's an aversion because he never takes away from what was done by historical human beings. It's the stated intention of the producers not to reduce the significance of any historical figures' effort or sacrifice.

The Last American Vampire: If Henry's narration is to be believed, he and various associates played significant behind-the-scenes roles in every major event from 1865 forward, except for the Titanic. He claims to be the one who blew up the Hindenburg. He's also one of three survivors of The Lost Colony of Roanoke, the other two being Virginia Dare, whom he later marries then turns into a vampire at her request, and the colony doctor, who was responsible for the deaths of the rest of the colony and the one who made Henry a vampire.

Nick "Ace" Geraci, from The Godfather sequels, is a rare case where this turns out to be the canon explanation for events as the licensed continuation of the franchise. He is responsible for beating the two college kids who assaulted Bonasera's daughter. He executes Tessio in the first chapter of The Godfather Returns as a test of loyalty to the Family. Later, he manipulates Fredo into unwittingly betraying Michael by offering him help with a plan that would show his worth to Michael. Finally, he kidnaps and executes Tom Hagen by strapping him into a car and driving him into the Florida Everglades.

Mare Nostrum: This drama set during World War I has the protagonist, a Spanish sea captain, getting tangled up with some Austrian and German spies. He gets roped into using his ship to illicitly refuel a German U-boat at sea. The U-boat then sinks the SS Californian, a Real Life ship that really was sunk by a U-boat in the Mediterranean in November 1915.note The Californian is of course remembered by history as the ship that did not help the Titanic in 1912.

Ulysses from Fallout: New Vegas has a hand in influencing the stories of each of the DLC add-ons. Aside from Lonesome Road, where he takes center stage as the main antagonist, he was the one who led the White Legs during the sacking of New Canaan (their dogged pursuit of Joshua Graham bringing them to Zion during Honest Hearts), he also explored Big MT and met with the Think Tank where he inadvertently almost set them loose from the Eternal Recurrence imprisoning them, and finally, he set the events of Dead Money in motion by telling Elijah the location of the Sierra Madre as well as rescuing Christine from a Big MT medical facility. To top it off, Ulysses was also the frumentarii scout who discovered Hoover Dam and brought it to the attention of Caesar and his Legion, bringing them into conflict with the NCR and causing the First and Second Battles of Hoover Dam in the Mojave Wasteland.
Speaking of Lonesome Road, it's known that after the First Battle of Hoover Dam, when the NCR was giving chase to the defeated Legion who were retreating back east, all groups tried to cross through a region called The Divide. The Legion would have been completely vanquished if it wasn't for a sudden and unexpected catastrophe that annihilated the Divide and its surroundings, dealing a crippling blow to NCR operations and allowing the Legion's leaders to escape and begin rebuilding their strength for the future. Who or what caused the disaster? Your character, the Courier did. They unknowingly delivered a package containing launch codes for the military ICBMs stored in underground silos, resulting in them detonating and destroying the landscape.

Thunderball: SPECTRE were consultants to the actual thieves in the 1963 Great Train Robbery, and are also involved in the trafficking of drugs to the United States.
Tomorrow Never Dies: Elliot Carver caused the Mad Cow panic of the 1990s in order to avenge himself on a British beef tycoon who lost to him in a game of poker and refused to pay up. (And kept the stories running for two more years when the tycoon's French competitors bribed him to do so).
Casino Royale (2006): Le Chiffre is a banker for various international terrorists. As such, he was able to anticipate 9/11 and made a fortune off of it by shorting airline stocks.

Towards the end of Dark Souls II, you travel back to the Giants' invasion of Drangleic via the Ashen Mist Heart and the memories of the fallen Giants. Turns out the reason the Giants never made it past what is now called the Forest Of Fallen Giants was that you personally beat the crap out of their leader, the Giant Lord. You might remember him as the Last Giant, a.k.a. the first boss of the game. You know, that decrepit, almost-dead Giant who took one look at you and instantly got so pissed that he dug himself out of a pile of rocks and charged you at top speed? Now you know why he was so pissed.

A core premise of the Heroes of the Storm fanfic Heroes of the Desk is that many events in history aren't as they seem—many were part of maintaining a Masquerade. Feudalism, the Salem Witch Trials, and something involving the Catholic Church are all Noodle Incidents right now, though whaling in the early 20th century has finally been explained: It was a cover against Sapient Cetaceans who were going to melt the polar ice caps. The main rationale for The World Is Not Ready comes in the form of a Cryptic Background Reference to the fall of the Roman Empire being somehow related to Functional Supernatural Phenomena in an unmasqued world. It also posits that a Government Agency of Fiction and its predecessors actually worked to conceal Functional Supernatural Phenomena (Magic by Any Other Name) from the world through, among other things, feudalism, whaling, something involving the Catholic Church, and the Salem Witch Trials.

Stan discovers Principal Lewis' childhood was the basis for Diff'rent Strokes. Stan calls him out for abandoning his friend Dudley to getting molested by the bicycle shop man, with Brian mentioning the real Dudley is messed up because of it.
In the episode "The Best Christmas Story Ever", Stan buys Roger a "Best of Disco" cassette. Stan has it on him when he goes back in time to 1970 but unknowingly drops it. However, Roger (who was on Earth in 1970, working at a restaurant) winds up finding it, opens a music studio, and uses the cassette to invent the disco music craze of the '70s.
Roger does this all the time, actually. Another Time Travel episode showed him inventing meth. "The Return Of The Bling" also showed him help America win the 1980 Olympics hockey game, albeit with steroids.

Elias Vaughn in the Star Trek Novel 'Verse. Introduced in the Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Relaunch, he was an elderly Starfleet officer with a long history in Starfleet Special Operations. He went on to make appearances in novels fleshing out many established events in the Federation's history; the Tomed Incident, the Betreka Nebula Incident, and the fight to liberate Betazed from the Dominion, among others. That well-known but as-yet-unexplored historical event? Vaughn will probably have been involved. Some readers certainly feel this trope got over-used with Vaughn.
A novel also tries to fit the Eugenics Wars in the 1980s/90s listed on Khan's debut. So Khan kills Ayatollah Khomeini, helps the South Korean democracy movement, opens a hole in the ozone layer, and an attempt by fellow Augments to kill him causes an earthquake in India. The advanced spaceship when mankind barely explored the Solar System is also explained by having it reverse-engineered from the Ferengi ship that crashed in Roswell (as shown in Star Trek: Deep Space Nine).

A Moth to a Flame: Marcy's ancestors in the Wu Clan did this for centuries, pulling the strings of civilizations from Ancient China to the Roman Empire, before moving on to Amphibia to help build up its conquest-based society in partnership with the newts, even helping to create the Core, with some of them joining its Mind Hive as a result.

The Eternals, a race of long-lived superpowered beings, inspired some of mankind's legends. For instance, the Forgotten One was Gilgamesh (with some of the monsters he faced in the myth having actually been Kronans, the rocklike alien race Korg belongs to), while Sersi, a beautiful Eternal with the power to transmutate objects and living organisms, inspired the sorceress Circe from Greek mythology.

In another episode, an elderly monster recounts a story about how he scared a brunette Albert Einstein while he's trying to figure out the theory of relativity, giving him his famous hair.

In Vampyr (2018), several calamities that afflicted Britain such as the Black Death and the Spanish flu in 1918 were caused by the Morrigan to torment humanity by spreading disease through her female servants known as Disasters. In fact, the Great Fire of London was caused by William Marshal (who was a vampire) when he fought against a Disaster, and he only defeated her by locking her up inside St. Paul's Cathedral and setting it on fire to make sure she was dead.

Disney Ducks Comic Universe:
Don Rosa likes to do this. In The Life and Times of Scrooge McDuck, Scrooge is shown to be the reason Theodore Roosevelt went back into politics (and the origin of some of Roosevelt's famous quotes). Scrooge also gave Buffalo Bill the idea to do Wild West shows, and was a major influence on Jack London's The Call of the Wild. He also meets Wyatt Earp, sails on the Cutty Sark, and witnesses the eruption of Krakatoa, nearly became the owner of the real world Anaconda Copper Mine, causes the sinking of the Titanic, etc., etc., etc.
Uncle Scrooge once boasted about his wrestling skills (to Roosevelt, while they were fighting) by mentioning that he once met Sitting Bull. Back then he was known as "Standing Bull." What makes this even more impressive is that Rosa definitely did the research with regard to where these people were and how they acted at the time Scrooge met them.
Don Rosa is not the only Disney author that did that. In multiple Italian stories, via either time travel, flashbacks, or other kinds of stories set in the past, Disney characters found themselves responsible for various events. Gus Goose invented the shape of the American Football doors, Donald Duck accidentally suggested the plot for E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial to Steven Spielberg when they were briefly in the same class at elementary school, Daisy Duck's great-great-grandma inspired the character of Sherlock Holmes... and so on.

Baldur's Gate III has a key character in the game's late story, who had been around for a long time and made waves in the history of the city of Baldur's Gate. This is because the character in question, the rogue mind flayer who introduces himself simply as "the Emperor", is no less than Balduran, himself: the founder of Baldur's Gate!

The World of Darkness:
This is quite common among different game lines, and taken collectively can result in... interesting situations. For instance, among the Cherusci of Arminius were Brujah vampires Get of Fenris werewolves, Verbena mages, and probably a half dozen other supernatural creatures — that never met each other. In more modern times, you can have a mayor in any given city that is ghouled by the vampires, bribed by the werewolf Big Bad Pentex, mind-controlled by the Technocracy, and puppeteered by the wraiths...
It was Lucifer, of all people, who started the Scientific Revolution. And while he didn't actually create it he was a big reason for the early spread of Christianity in order to use it as a weapon against the Earthbound.
Although still present this was scaled back for later editions of the gamelines after the writers realised how out of control it had gotten, with the attitude then being that most major events and social movements were of human origin but supernaturals would then take advantage of them. There were still some examples though, such as the Punic Wars being at least partly a struggle between the Ventrue and Bujah vampire clans and a running gag of multiple different supernatural factions claiming Rasputin as one of theirs.
The New World Of Darkness takes a few steps away from this, for the most part. For the most part. Requiem for Rome implies that Rome's vampires were pulling a lot of strings during the Roman Empire's height — and that the first one was Remus. All in all, the supernatural generally moves along with human developments rather than setting them off... which makes a good deal of sense when you think about it, as there are more mortals than Supernaturals, and most Supers are too busy handling their own stuff to really mess around with human society too much. Throw in the Masquerade, Veil, and the general "don't let the normals know what's really going on" approach that the varying splats take, minor influence and the occasional nudge is about all the Supernatural does to influence the wider world... there are exceptions, such as Tunguska being caused by SOMETHING involving the Quasmalilim, and Dracula having been a very powerful Kindred, but these are exceptions rather than the general rule of thumb.
Promethean: The Created hints that a Promethean was "the Person from Porlock" who prevented Coleridge from finishing "Kubla Khan", and that a Qashmallim inspired it in the first place.
Vampire: The Masquerade: Vampires are usually behind the scenes in most of the biggest scenes in recorded history, right down to the first of all vampires being Cain(e)'s curse after slaying Abel. Although sometimes it is hard to tell what's truth and what's a lie; for instance, no fewer than three of the clans proudly claim to have Rasputin among their numbers. The clanbooks usually imply that the Storyteller is free to decide which, if any, claims are actually true.
Werewolf: The Apocalypse:
The Silver Fangs married into many of Europe's royal families and shaped history as royal leaders.
The Wendigo initiated the migration of humans from northern Asia to North America. Closer to the present era, Wendigo Garou were among Tecumseh's followers.
According to Rage Across New York, the Black Furies protected the early American suffragettes. Black Fury kinfolk encouraged leaders of the early women's movement to take refuge near New York's Finger Lakes (a Black Fury stronghold), which lead to the 1848 Seneca Falls convention.
Rage Across New York also states that the Children of Gaia contributed followers and protection to historical figures such as Harriet Tubman, Frederick Douglass, and Susan B. Anthony.
The Seventh Generation was responsible for several historical calamities. When Socrates discovered Seventh Generation activity in Athens, the cult arranged for his trial and execution. When Freud discovered that several of his patients experienced childhood abuse, the Seventh Generation forced him to revise his theories. According to Chronicles of the Black Labyrinth, Charles Manson and Gilles de Rais were Seventh Generation devotees, and their crimes were in the service of the Wyrm.
According to Rage Across Australia, Black Spiral kinfolk were behind the creation of Australia's Aboriginal Protection Board in the 19th century, as part of a strategy to destroy the Bunyip's human kinfolk.

X-Men Film Series:
X-Men Origins: Wolverine: Wolverine and Sabertooth fought in the American Revolution, were there on D-Day (though The Wolverine has him fighting in the Pacific instead, and being present for the Nagasaki bombing), and finally bumped into Stryker in the last days of the Vietnam War. And their action indirectly caused the Three Mile Island incident.
X-Men: First Class: Mutants both caused and averted the Cuban Missile Crisis. And Beast not only designed the SR-71 Blackbird, but it was originally a transport!
X-Men: Days of Future Past: Magneto was arrested for his involvement in Kennedy's death (as in the magic bullet; the Viral Marketing raises the hypothesis that Mystique in guise of Lee Harvey Oswald was the one who shot), and the Paris Peace Accords that closed America's involvement with The Vietnam War now have Dr. Bolivar Trask, Major William Stryker and some mutants in attendance.
X-Men: Apocalypse: Alex Summers says that Apocalypse took the idea of the Four Horseman from the Bible. Moira MacTaggert counters by suggesting the Bible took the idea from him.

Yakuza 0, which is set in 1988 during the peak of Japan's economic bubble, reveals that by giving a politician some advice on introducing new taxes, Goro Majima may have accidentally caused the massive recession in the '90s known as the "Lost Decade". It takes a turn for the hilarious when in Yakuza Kiwami, which takes place in 2005, Majima uses this as a Pre-Asskicking One-Liner of all things.

Quantum Leap often had Sam Beckett being responsible for a great many things while in the guise of various people. Creator Donald Bellisario referred to these as "kisses with history," giving Sam a chance to slyly affect the world more than just what the main plot required. Among the many things that Sam is responsible for are teaching The Twist to Chubby Checker, performing the Heimlich Maneuver on Dr. Heimlich, giving a young Stephen King ideas for some scary stories, encouraging Buddy Holly to continue with music (even helping him write "Peggy Sue" by trying to catch a pig), and teaching the Moon Walk to a young Michael Jackson.
By the last season, these became less subtle. Sam leapt into Marilyn Monroe's personal bodyguard (keeping her alive long enough to make The Misfits), Lee Harvey Oswald (where it turns out that Jackie Kennedy died in the original history), and Elvis Presley (having to ensure the King of Rock and Roll would get his big break).
Occasionally subverted as it seems Sam might be linked to a major event only to simply be caught up in it. In "Black and White on Fire," Sam leaps into a black man on the eve of the Watts riots. At first, he thinks his task is to stop the riots but Al tells him the key arrest that set it off has already happened and that the riots themselves were going to occur one way or another.

Parodied by Walk Hard - Dewey frequently meets famous musicians, from Elvis to the Beatles, but they are all deliberately horribly miscast (Jack Black as Paul McCartney?) and Dewey always refers to all of them by their full names. The scene with The Beatles takes it the furthest - they all deliberately state that there is a rift between the four of them, George Harrison complains that they never let him write songs, and they all really obviously drop the names of songs that hadn't been written yet.
Also, Dewey apparently invents punk.

The Afghanistan level sees Mason saving a contingent of Mujaheddin from a Soviet assault, along with his friend Woods and a Chinese agent working with them, thus inadvertently saving the life of one Mullah Rahman, a real-life figure who went on to become a notorious commander in the Taliban. When they're betrayed and nearly killed, Mason and Reznov, maybe saves their lives. The Chinese agent is Tian Zhao, who later becomes the head of the Strategic Defense Coalition and a minor antagonist, with the Strike Force missions needed for the best ending culminating in him being assassinated by JSOC troops commanded by Mason's son, David.

Doraemon does this more than once, thanks to the constant Time Travel in the series:
What Am I for Momotaro has Doraemon and friends visiting Meiji-era Japan to investigate the Momotarō myth (after finding photographic evidence that Momotaro allegedly exists). They instead inspire the myth when Nobita gets mistaken for Momotaro while his friends have to take the Animal Transformation Cookies as a disguise, becoming Momotaro's animal companions from the legend.
Doraemon: The Record of Nobita's Parallel Visit to the West reveals that Doraemon's VR Simulator being left unattended in ancient China caused demons from the simulator to escape and wreak havoc, and after the gang manages to re-seal the demons, they discover the events of their adventure turned out to be the inspiration behind the Chinese literary classic, Journey to the West.

Newsfront: Among the events the film crew manage to document are the 1949 re-election of Robert Menzies as Prime Minister of Australia, the 1951 referendum to ban the Communist Party of Australia, post-war immigration, the combatting of the rabbit plague, the Redex reliability trials, the Hunter Valley floods, and the introduction of television to Australia.

Star Trek: Deep Space Nine:
The two-parter "Past Tense" has several of the characters going back to pre-First Contact times, to the time of an uprising in San Francisco that caused a major overhaul to the laws regarding the unemployed/homeless. Sisko even gets recorded in history as Gabriel Bell, a major figure in the riots, as his presence inadvertently caused Bell to die prematurely. Starfleet Command, however, is not amused on finding his face in history books.
"Little Green Men" has Quark, Rom, Nog, and Odo be in the spaceship that allegedly crashed in Roswell in 1947.
"Trials and Tribble-ations" takes a slightly different track. In the episode, much of the main cast is transported to the time period of the Star Trek: The Original Series episode "The Trouble with Tribbles", where they are responsible for many off-screen events which take place during that episode. Thus, it is an example of DS9 playing this to another fictional series. Particularly notable because the technology used to insert Forrest Gump in historical footage is exactly the one used to create this episode. The very episode was inspired by a technician showing off some quick'n'dirty insertion in an original TOS episode. (It helped that the TOS masters were surprisingly well preserved.)

Archer:
Mallory Archer has been involved in Operations Gladio and Ajax.
In "Blood Test", Woodhouse is revealed to have shot William S. Burroughs' wife in Mexico, in a bet for heroin. It's implied Burroughs ended up taking the fall for it thanks to Mallory's intervention.

In Prodigal Son, Hiccup was nearly hit by a swath of arrows during the Reconquista in Spain. Hiccup also briefly worked as a member of the Varangian Guard before quitting when he was ordered to needlessly destroy sacred objects, and while Hiccup and Toothless were unable to prevent the Siege of Alexandria, he was able to provide support in helping evacuate the citizens.

Delta Green has less tendency of this happening in-universe, as it's stated the unnatural is rare (albeit extremely dangerous), but this trope comes from time to time.
In 1969 Delta Green organizes an unsanctioned raid on Cambodia, where 300 Marines paradrop on Cambodia attempting to stop the summoning of a Great Old One, the operation fails spectacularly. When the US and South Vietnam invade Cambodia later, they meet stiff resistance from well-prepared Viet Cong and Khmer Rouge, the military's Joint Chiefs consider the intervention in Cambodia a failure due Delta Green's shenanigans seven months prior. This is the final nail in the coffin and Delta Green is officially deactivated in 1970.
Adolph Lepus, future leader of NRO Delta, participated in Operation OBSIDIAN and ended up as one of the few survivors, he was the one that killed Colonel Satchel Wade and his mistress as revenge for organizing the mission.
The The Vietnam War-era Delta Green game The Fall of DELTA GREEN implies that the legendary MACV-SOG might have been inspired by Delta Green.
In 1993 Delta Green discovered information about what they thought was a mythos cult in Waco, Texas. The agents organize the ATF and FBI to raid the cult's compound resulting in the now-infamous Waco Siege. They were wrong, there was nothing particularly unnatural on Waco. 76 people died due Delta Green's faulty intel.
During the Katrina hurricane, there were a lot of reports of gunfire shots in New Orleans after the levees broke. Much of those were agents part of Delta Green death squads sent to hunt down and execute Ghouls of the DeMonte clan.
In the scenario Khali Gati it is implied that the god-priest that sleeps in the mountain around Khali Gati inspired the pre-Islamic god Zun, at least that's what the village elder tells you.

Done in Pinky and the Brain. When Pinky runs for President, his small third party (the "Pink Party") only has one guy on the staff: "Sweaty Pete", who takes credit for many major failures of US Presidents and their campaigns. He claims to have suggested Nixon's nervousness on camera, the Bay of Pigs Invasion, and the infamously dorky shot of Dukakis poking his head out of a tank. He is seemingly oblivious to how badly all of these things backfired.

This is a plot point of the second Destroy All Humans! game. In it, the Tunguska event of 1908 was caused by a Blisk warship crashing into a small, remote community in Russia. Due to their mass amount of intelligence and being able to disguise themselves as humans, they ended up causing the Russian Revolution to succeed and seized control of the USSR.

Batman villain Ra's Al-Ghul, being over seven hundred years old, takes credit for numerous historical events. His spotlight issue during the New 52 Villains Month implies that he was responsible for the Great Fire of London, the cholera epidemic of 1832, and training Gavrilo Princip, the assassin of Franz Ferdinand. This last seems more like taking credit for something in retrospect, as Princip was so incompetent as an assassin that Ra's would only want to be associated with him because of the results.

Phineas and Ferb played this for laughs in a few Elseworld episodes, many of which also fall under Real Event, Fictional Cause.
"Tri-Stone Area": Phinabunk and Gerb invented the wheel, then the car, and then English, while Can-Tok discovered fire.
"Doof Dynasty": The Great Wall of China was Princess Isabella's idea, and apparently Phineas and Ferb spent the next several decades building it together.
"Excaliferb": A particularly strong throw-down during an epic monster battle created Stonehenge.
"Phineas and Ferb and the Temple of Jutchadoon": The Panama Canal was created by an earthquake after Ohio Flynn popped the evil Corn Colossus.
"Phineas and Ferb: Star Wars": Evidently, all of the characters were just out of frame during the events of A New Hope. For example, Rebel Spy Perry the Platypus retrieved the Death Star plans, and Darthenshmirtz designed it in the first place with his trademark Self-Destruct Button.

Red River (1995): Yuri tries to keep a low profile when she gets transported to ancient Turkey, scared of this trope. When her actions lead to someone saying she could be shaping history, she considers it a very sobering thought. Her involvement has quite some effects — giving the Hittite Empire access to iron when it was the Bronze Age, for example — but it turns out that You Already Changed the Past, so everything she did was supposed to happen.

According to Minions, the Minions have been around for millennia, helping out tyrants, would-be world conquerors, and other "bad guys" since the dawn of human history (and before that, when they tag along with a Tyrannosaurus rex). They're seen building the Great Pyramids and fighting with Napoleon in his Russian campaign; given how badly the latter went in Real Life, one can assume the Minions were even more incompetent before they met Gru.

In the A Man of Iron universe, Asgardians have a tradition of taking on mortal identities and living among the people of Westeros and Essos. This had led to them influencing a lot of the world's history, up to them even serving as the inspiration for the Faith of the Seven (though thanks to in-universe Sadly Mythtaken, the Faith isn't remotely accurate).
Sif was Nettles, the mysterious Dragon Rider companion of Daemon Targaryen during the Dance of the Dragons. She's also the reason that the giant Ægir is known as the Drowned God (as she dumped him in a lake after he drunkenly flirted with her at a party).
Thor was Joramun, the King-Beyond-The-Wall who fought the Others in the Long Night. And in addition to inspiring the Warrior of the Seven, he was also viewed as both the Storm God of the Ironborn and the one defied by Durran Godsgrief.
Loki is the most prolific, as over the course of his many pilgrimages to Midgard he taught Lann the Clever everything he knew, guided King Theon Stark towards raiding Andalos, convinced Ser Criston Cole to get revenge on Rhaenrya by siding with Aegon II, and wrote the Pureborn of Qarth's rules and doctrines.
A non-Asgardian example would be Qyburn/Mr.Sinister. According to himself, he engineered Robert's Rebellion, albeit only a side effect of his plan to push Rahegar and Lyanna together, since he wanted to the see the potential of a child with both Targaryen and Stark blood. And it's implied he's behind many other conflicts at both sides of the Narrow Sea as a result of his projects.

Pacific Overtures summarizes Sondheim's take on this trope with the Act I finale "Someone in a Tree." The musical, which focuses on Japan's forced opening to the Western world, describes how the Japanese government originally planned to deny that ambassadors from the United States were ever in the country by ensuring that they never set foot on Japanese soil, then burning down the specially-built treaty house the emperor had built for the occasion. The government then destroys all records of the event and claims that it never happened...but one little boy and a single samurai soldier were present on the scene, and share what they saw and heard. This is therefore the only (in-universe) authentic account of what happened on that fateful day, and thus is the history of that first meeting.

Werewolf: The Apocalypse:
The Silver Fangs married into many of Europe's royal families and shaped history as royal leaders.
The Wendigo initiated the migration of humans from northern Asia to North America. Closer to the present era, Wendigo Garou were among Tecumseh's followers.
According to Rage Across New York, the Black Furies protected the early American suffragettes. Black Fury kinfolk encouraged leaders of the early women's movement to take refuge near New York's Finger Lakes (a Black Fury stronghold), which lead to the 1848 Seneca Falls convention.
Rage Across New York also states that the Children of Gaia contributed followers and protection to historical figures such as Harriet Tubman, Frederick Douglass, and Susan B. Anthony.
The Seventh Generation was responsible for several historical calamities. When Socrates discovered Seventh Generation activity in Athens, the cult arranged for his trial and execution. When Freud discovered that several of his patients experienced childhood abuse, the Seventh Generation forced him to revise his theories. According to Chronicles of the Black Labyrinth, Charles Manson and Gilles de Rais were Seventh Generation devotees, and their crimes were in the service of the Wyrm.
According to Rage Across Australia, Black Spiral kinfolk were behind the creation of Australia's Aboriginal Protection Board in the 19th century, as part of a strategy to destroy the Bunyip's human kinfolk.

Played with in Murdoch Mysteries' season 10 opener "Great Balls of Fire", in which both a firebomb hurled by the Killer Of The Week and a carelessly tossed cigar belonging to Constable Higgins are suggested as possible sources of the Great Toronto Fire of 1904. Neither were actually responsible, though.
Played straight in the Season 8 episode "All That Glitters". A heavily criticized landscape painting by Inspector Brackenreid proves inspirational to one of the assistants at an art exhibition: famed landscape painter Tom Thomson, whose style is similar to the Inspector's.
Played straight in Season 9's "Unlucky in Love", which implies that L. M. Montgomery based her character Anne of Green Gables on Constable Crabtree. Promptly lampshaded in the end title card:
Regularly played with in the later season appearances of James Pendrick, who is portrayed as developing an electric car prototype (and being cheated out of his invention by Henry Ford), inventing the airplane, becoming an early silent film director (and butting heads with Thomas Edison), and building the first space rocket.

Sympathy For The Devil later used the same approach, with the twist being that the narrator is Lucifer (interpreted to be either literally Satan or humanity itself).
Inverted in OK Go's response, "A Good Idea at the Time," where Lucifer admits being present at several of these scenes but pins the blame for them entirely back on humanity.

MonsterVerse:
Godzilla (2014) reveals that the various nuclear tests conducted in the Pacific Proving Grounds during The '50s were not tests at all.
The various Kaiju (called Titans) are heavily implied to have been the source of many mythological creatures (such as the Hydra, Scylla, Dragons, and the like) as well as being treated as Gods and Demons in many different cultures, a concept which Godzilla: King of the Monsters (2019) in particular explores.
And apparently, Monarch suspects that a Titan caused the Great Smog of London.

The Gundam franchise has a few, in addition to the protagonists' exploits in the various anime, films, and OVA:
Mobile Suit Gundam: The Origin reveals that Char Aznable participated in a number of events leading up to the One Year War, and in some cases, instigating them.
Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam Day After Tomorrow follows Kai Shiden's exploits from the end of the war to the events of Zeta and beyond. In the process showing his own involvement in some pivotal events.

The time-travel-humor webcomic Times Like This uses this trope on a regular basis. A sampling of some "Gumpifications" (as the author calls them):
The classic "clumsy chef" bit on Sesame Street.
Ellen DeGeneres' talk show.
A key scene in Monty Python and the Holy Grail.
The Declaration of Independence.
A hook for a Prince song.

In the flashbacks of Lost's fifth season finale, the infamous Jacob appears repeatedly in other peoples' flashbacks, always being responsible for something important in those characters' lives: he buys Kate the lunchbox she uses for her time capsule, gives Sawyer a pen with which to write his letter to the real Sawyer, preventing Sayid from being hit by the car that kills Nadia, saying hello to Sun and Jin at their wedding, asking Ilana for help with an unspecified task, speaking to—and possibly reviving—Locke after he is thrown out a window, giving Jack a candy bar after his first surgery, and convincing Hurley to return to the island.
In a simply "stumbling through history" case, Nikki and Paulo's episode shows them discovering the Beechcraft and the Pearl station before the other castaways, and seeing major events of the show (the plane crash, the "live together, die alone" speech, and in a deleted scene, the discharge).

Vorenus and Pullo on Rome have been described as the Forrest Gumps (Sylvanus Gumpae) of Ancient Rome. They are the direct cause of, or at least heavily involved in, several key events during the late republican years through the rise of Augustus. A few examples include: Pullo actually fathering Caesarion (Caesar's son by Cleopatra), the results of one of Pullo's barfights leading to Caesar crossing the Rubicon, saving Octavius from captivity, finding Cleopatra, Vorenus helping Marc Antony commit suicide, Vorenus' departure from the senate house making it possible for Brutus and company to murder Caesar, Pullo killing Cicero... And that's just a few examples.
Lampshaded in that one of the aforementioned episodes is even called "How Titus Pullo Brought Down the Republic".
In another they have a chance to capture Pompey after the Battle of Pharsalus but let him go. Caesar is not amused but concludes they must have "powerful gods on their side" considering how much unlikely shit they've gone through and decides not to punish them.

Superman:
In Superman (Brian Michael Bendis), Jonathan Samuel Kent suggests to a coalition of aliens to create a union of various worlds so that tragedies such as the destruction of Krypton would never happen again. The idea sticks and he, Superman, and Supergirl are shocked by the arrival of the Legion of Super-Heroes, who reveal he just helped create the United Planets.
Two for the Death of One: During the final battle, Superman gets smashed against the Sphinx's face, making him accidentally responsible for its missing nose.
In The Unknown Supergirl, Supergirl time-travels to 1692, and is reminded of rumors about a so-called "Golden Witch" who terrorized the country in that same year and then disappeared suddenly. As she is wondering if she will manage to unravel the mystery, Kara decides to help out a nearby village. She provides food, potable water, coal, and medicine for the frightened farmers before flying back to her own time, unaware that their powers have been mistaken for witchcraft. Once she checks an encyclopedia, Kara realizes she was the "Golden Witch".

Compilation of Final Fantasy VII: Before Crisis and Crisis Core are undisputedly lord and master of this trope, as it turns out Zack was responsible for Yuffie's Materia obsession, the bar where Tifa works being named Seventh Heaven, Aeris wearing pink and is now the only reason Cloud took up the persona of a SOLDIER First Class due to "passing on his memories" to Cloud. The Turks meanwhile turn out to have been present for Cid's failed rocket launch, the burning of Barret's hometown, the burning of Cloud and Tifa's hometown, Cloud's first fight with Sephiroth, they are responsible for Azul ending up in Deepground, Red XIII being able to procreate and are the reason for why when you visit the Midgar model in the Shinra building, one part of Midgar is unlike the rest. Finally, Genesis has become one of the primary reasons why Sephiroth went crazy, while Angeal has his place in the story as the origin of the Buster Sword.

American Dragon: Jake Long invokes this trope in at least two episodes.
"Fu and Tell": While fighting for an artifact belonging to Fu's family, Fu Dog and Yan Yan got involved in several historical moments. They caused the Sphinx' nose to break off, put the lean in the Leaning Tower of Pisa, and sent the Titanic into an iceberg.
"Hero of the Hourglass": Fu Dog made Atlantis sink.

The Chee from Animorphs are very long-lived androids who helped build the pyramids and use advanced holographic projections to masquerade as humans, appearing to age normally and eventually faking their deaths and assuming new identities when they decide they're getting too old. Some of the people they refer to are Moses (Erek's "father" was his law professor), Catherine the Great (Erek used to cut her hair), and Roosevelt (Erek "was the White House butler when he suggested the phrase 'New Deal'. Of course, it was during a poker game."). One Chee is also said to have been a famous actress in a previous life-cycle.
Averted, too: For example, Eric mentions he worked on the pyramids—as a slave hauling blocks.
The Chee take care to stay out of any great historical events. Erek mentioning that he thought up "New Deal" is probably the most they've ever contributed. Most often they're just on the sidelines, such as Erek mentioning he was Beethoven's assistant for a few years, and at least one Chee is a homeless person.
There’s also Elfangor and his friends Steve and Bill, who are hinted at being Steve Jobs and Bill Gates, and the implication that Elfangor helped them with information that led to the development of Apple and Microsoft and some worldwide internet stuff.

In a "what if" episode of The Boondocks (in which Martin Luther King, Jr. awakens from a coma), it is revealed that Robert "Grandad" Freeman was originally part of Rosa Parks' bus sit-in, but was completely ignored. Ever since then, Grandad felt that Parks "stole his thunder" and left her harassing phone calls right up until her death. Oh, and he never did get his five dollars from Malcolm X.
And he was supposed to be one of the protesters Bull Connor turned firehoses on, but he went home to get a raincoat and missed the march. Robert gets a lot of these related to the civil rights movement.

Bewitched:
In one episode, it's suggested that Aunt Clara was inadvertently the one responsible for the massive Northeast blackout of 1965.
In another episode, it's revealed that Esmerelda was responsible for the Leaning Tower of Pisa tilting when she was merely trying conjure a sandwich. She always considered it her greatest blunder and, not realizing it was a famous landmark because of its tilt, once decided to straighten it out. This ended up causing all of Italy to have a Freak Out.

In Good Omens, Crowley owns the original sketch of the Mona Lisa. A footnote then re-constructs a conversation between Crowley and Leonardo in which the artist blows off the lower quality of the painting, because "who's going to see it?" He goes on to ask Crowley about an invention, which apparently he later takes credit for. Subverted with Crowley's commendation from Below for the Spanish Inquisition — he was in Spain at the time... relaxing at cantinas and generally having a good time. When he gets around to checking out this thing he's being commended for, he promptly goes back to the cantinas and gets drunk for a week.

Shadows of the Empire 's story starts around the same time as The Empire Strikes Back. As such, the protagonist Dash Rendar took part in the Battle of Hoth; this was only mentioned in the novel, but an actual level in the game. It was the first time a Star Wars game allowed the player to take part in a movie battle like it (excluding the Death Star trench run from A New Hope), and nearly every classic-trilogy Star Wars game since has had a Hoth level if the developers could find an excuse to add one. One problem, however, is that the second level starts with Dash witnessing the Millennium Falcon's escape from the base just before snowtroopers pour in - and yet Dash somehow manages to completely miss encountering Darth Vader, who also saw the Falcon fly off. Also, in a double-example, Dash was a pivotal member of the team that captured the supercomputer containing the plans to the second Death Star - an event so important that the player gets to see him do it again in a mission from X-Wing Alliance, setting the player as the "Blue 6" who shouted at the team to scatter after the freighter with that supercomputer launches a diamond-boron missile (of course, since the XWA protagonist never speaks, someone ends up shouting his line).

Futurama:
The classic "Roswell that Ends Well" episode of features the stars traveling back in time and arriving in Roswell, New Mexico. Zoidberg is captured by the army, along with Bender's shattered body, making them the alien and "spacecraft remains" secretly held inside Area 51.
Futurama did it a second time in the direct-to-DVD Bender's Big Score. The story involves Bender being sent back in time to the year 2000 to kill Fry. Unable to find him, he tracks down every Philip J. Fry in the country. One of them happens to be in Florida, counting ballots from the recent election. Bender enters and begins firing a laser gun, and one of the stray blasts destroys a large stack of ballots labeled "Gore", causing George W. Bush to win the election.
In-universe (er) example: When Bender goes back in time to steal the Nobel Peace Prize, in his escape, it is revealed he is the cause of the first destruction of New York City, an event seen briefly through a window in the pilot episode.

Randall Flagg from The Stand deserves an honorable mention. He remembers being involved in many of the most horrifying events in recent American history, everything from The Manson Family to handing Lee Harvey Oswald pamphlets, meeting Donald Defreeze (and suggesting the name Cinque in the first place), going to school with Charles Starkweather, and plenty else. It's all the more horrifying in that he has absolutely no investment in any of this; he has no misguided cause, or even a desire to profit. He just likes to be part of the hate.

In The Confectionary Chronicles, during Hermione's time in the past visiting the Hogwarts founders as they create the school, she plays a small but significant role in the creation of the Sorting Hat, and also witnesses Rowena Ravenclaw put the finishing touches on the Room of Requirement.

The Fairly OddParents!:
Cosmo sunk Atlantis nine times, caused the volcanic eruption that destroyed Pompeii, and George Washington used his head as a cannonball to win a battle. (But Cosmo didn't wipe out the dinosaurs - that was Sylvester Calzone.)
In the episode "Hassle in the Castle," Maryann, one of the former godchildren of Cosmo and Wanda wished Archduke Franz Ferdinand to be assassinated, which caused World War One. This in turn, led her to lose Cosmo and Wanda.

The third part of Day of the Barney reveals that Barney and Baby Bop were alive and present at the extinction of the dinosaurs and are hinted to have caused it. The list of historical events they are shown to have caused is long: Since the extinction of the dinosaurs, they are revealed to have met and corrupted Caligula, caused the spread of the Black Death, saved the life of and met Adolf Hitler, and befriended Anne Frank, only to betray her and her family to the Nazis after learning that she is a Jew.

Commonly happened to Buck Danny:
He was working at Pearl Harbor when the Japanese attacked, then became a flyer for the U.S. Navy and experienced several of the Pacific War's major battles, such as Midway, firsthand.
Halfway through the war, he transferred from the Navy to the Flying Tigers in China. In the series' first long-form story arc, he and three of his friends were responsible for ferrying the Allied plans for the Burma offensive to the Flying Tigers (and then retrieving them, and keeping them out of Japanese hands, when the plane crashes on the way back to China).
Later wars and historical events that Danny, Tumbler, and Tuckson participated in included The Korean War, the 1991 Soviet coup attempt against Gorbachev, The Yugoslav Wars, and The War on Terror.
They were also frequently assigned as test pilots helping to develop any pivotal number of aeronautical technologies. These include early jet and supersonic aircraft, the X-15, the SR-71 Blackbird, and the F-22 Raptor.

Inverted in the Horatio Hornblower series, where the author deliberately keeps Horatio out of the way of most of the major historical events of the time. Forester did this while at the same time using many real historical figures (there was a Captain Pellew, for example), but usually not in a way that you'd expect their interaction to merit special historical notice. (You can see the full list here at The Other Wiki.)
Commodore Hornblower, set in 1812, specifically places Hornblower in the Baltic dealing with Russia. This was to avoid any mention of the War of 1812 between the British and the USA. The stories themselves were written 1937 to 1967, and avoiding any hint of conflict between the RN and the USA was a priority.

Perry Rhodan has Atlan. Even with some hibernation periods, ten thousand years stuck on Earth make for a fair few opportunities for somebody who was already a certified badass before ever coming here to leave a mark. Among other things he supplied the poison that killed Attila the Hun, and he knew and crossed at least figurative swords with Nostradamus — who after his eventual reappearance in more modern times during the Swarm arc likewise turns out to be more than he seemed at the time. Oh, and the original lost Arkonide colony on Earth that was named after him...

Leverage: The 2008 financial crisis was caused by a huge number of Morally Bankrupt Bankers and other Corrupt Corporate Executives. Years and years of insider trading, market manipulations, and every other form of fraud imaginable took their toll until the entire world economy collapsed, at which point the people who had caused this collapse were able to exploit it to steal billions more. What's more, all the major police and regulatory agencies know this, having done all the investigating necessary after 2008 to identify the culprits. They chose not to prosecute anyone responsible, or reveal what they'd found to the public because they were afraid that it would cause so much disruption at the top of the business community, "the world's economy would never stabilize."

Good Omens (2019): In episode 3, we see that Aziraphale and Crowley were present at Noah's Ark, the Crucifixion of Jesus, King Arthur's campaign, Shakespeare's plays, The French Revolution, and the London Blitz. Not that they actually did much at any of those events (though they took credit). One of the running themes is that human history is pretty much entirely the fault of humans, for good and ill.

Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater:
The Boss. By the very end, it is revealed that she participated in major Nuclear Bomb testing, became the first human in space before Yuri Gagarin, and participated in the Normandy landing, the Bay of Pigs Invasion, and Project Mercury.
Sigint, due to being a member of ARPA/DARPA and one of the founders of the Internet. Hideo Kojima did his research; the MGS timeline syncs up with the same year and organization that started the Internet in Real Life.
Another in-universe example with The End, the Cobra Unit's centenarian sniper, who multiple characters call the father of modern sniping. In another sense, his remains would later provide the basis for Code Talker's parasite research.
Furthermore, in an optional Codec conversion during MGS3, it's revealed that Naked Snake/Big Boss, Sigint, and Major Zero actually gave the Hind D its name. In-game, he also created the infamous "hide in a cardboard box" trick used by Solid Snake and Raiden.
In-universe, Johnny Sasaki, by sheer coincidence, winds up getting involved as a minor mook in all of Snake's missions note  As a member of the Genome Soldiers in Metal Gear Solid, as one of the Gurlukovich mercenaries in Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty, and as a member of Rat Patrol 01 in Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots, and his grandfather (also named Johnny) personally met Big Boss while serving as a guard at Grosnyj Grad in Metal Gear Solid 3. Despite his stupidity and general bumbling nature, he's one of the few recurring characters to actually survive all that insanity — which Snake happily lampshades.

The protagonist of Call of Juarez: Gunslinger claims to have fought every single legendary outlaw in The Wild West. He even claims to have had a gunfight with Jesse James (once someone brings up Bob Ford, he immediately claims to have "wounded him" even if you managed to make him shoot James in the head) and another one with Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid (who, whaddya know, really DID escape the Bolivian Army)... at the same time. However, it's heavily implied he's making A LOT of this up.

In the Pokemon fanfic, A Professor and a Student, Ash is revealed to have been the subject of several research papers by the regional Professors, including some incredibly famous ones on dimensions by Professor Rowan. Ash himself was unaware of this before Kukui asks him about it and Tracey even points this out to Kukui in Chapter 20, mentioning that Ash is also a Frontier Brain Candidate, knows every Champion from every region he's been to, met Legendary Pokemon, and even helped actual royalty. But he also deconstructed it in that the reason that Ash may actually be bothered by it but doesn't voice his opinions anymore (Kukui eventually notes has also given him trust issues).

Jumanji has an early scene where Carl Bentley, a lackey at Alan's dad's shoe factory whom Alan has befriended, invents the modern basketball shoe in 1969. But then Alan drops it into the machinery, damaging the machine and destroying the shoe and getting Carl fired. After the game finally ends, winding time back to that evening, one of the first things Alan does is confess that it was his fault, presumably leading to Carl getting his job back and a chance to recreate his invention.

In The Ripper (1997), Florry Lewis is responsible for Jack the Ripper not mutilating the body of Liz Stride after he murdered (and, by extension, the second murder of the 'double event') when she witnesses the attack and screams "FIRE!", bringing others running and forcing the Ripper to flee.note It is generally accepted that someone disturbed the Ripper before he could mutilate Stride's body and he fled. However, no one actually witnessed the killing.

Subverted in Blackadder, in which what they're showing us is the real history, while the history that we know was rewritten by Henry Tudor, the fake Queen Elizabeth I, and the fake Prince George. Played straight when the reason they were able to re-write history was because of the character's actions.
Captain Blackadder, Lieutenant George, and Private Baldrick all took part in the Christmas Day Armistice. Blackadder was off-side.
If Series Five was made, one possibility was that Baldrick accidentally killed J.F.K while fiddling around with a gun in Dallas.
He also caused the extinction of the dinosaurs with his underpants in Blackadder: Back And Forth.

In the Asterix comics, the title character and his friend Obelix do this a lot, including in the animated adaptations:
Tea is brought to Great Britain thanks to some strange potion that Getafix gave Asterix before he left for Britain in Asterix in Britain.
Belgian fries and mussels are invented in Asterix in Belgium when a Belgian chieftain sees a cauldron with oil boiling in a Roman camp and when Obelix later finds a piece of the pirates' ship with mussels on it.
In Asterix in Spain, Asterix battles a bull with a red cape that accidentally fell in the arena, thus inventing bullfighting in Spain. In the same book, Unhygienix asks Obelix to make a payment in menhirs because he wants to "develop" a property in Carnac (Stonehenge in the English version).
In Asterix and the Great Crossing, Asterix and Obelix accidentally drift off on the ocean and unknowingly discover North America.
Why does the Sphinx have no nose? Answer: Obelix broke it.
Why does the Venus de Milo have no arms? Obelix broke it.
Why is the Colosseum partially collapsed? Guess. Apparently, most of the destruction done to landmarks from ancient history is Obelix's fault (What's really impressive about this one is that Obelix collapsed part of the Colosseum 120 years before it was even built).

The Shea Fontana iteration of DC Super Hero Girls had a tie-in graphic novel titled Past Times at Super Hero High, where the plot largely revolved around Batgirl and Harley Quinn going on a time travel adventure. On their journey, they encounter Amelia Earhart and Emily Dickinson when they were only young girls and end up encouraging them to respectively become the first female pilot and a writer of poetry.

The Flashman series often moves in this direction, having him not only indirectly responsible for important events in British history but also having him as the inspiration for The Prisoner of Zenda and Uncle Tom's Cabin (!). One novella, Flashman and the Tiger, has him getting the Sherlock Scan from lawyer friendly cameos of Sherlock Holmes and Watson and isn't as well done since the series (outside of the characters of Tom Brown's Schooldays) doesn't have literary characters as real people, only as the inspirations for them.
Fictional uncertainties aside, Flashman certainly serves as a splendid Gump, as his career spans virtually every notable conflict in the world from the First Afghan War to the Boxer Rebellion (though sadly his author died before recounting some of Flashman's highest-profile adventures, e.g. The American Civil War and (most) of the Zulu War).
He's also used to fill in some of the gaps in historical accounts. Unknown soldier leading the Charge of the Light Brigade? That was Flashman. Unidentified figure in a painting just after the Indian Mutiny? Flashman again.
He also accidentally killed General Custer during the Battle of Little Bighorn when he shot at a Sioux brave and missed.

Alex Mason, the protagonist from Call of Duty: Black Ops, fights in Havana during the Bay of Pigs invasion and assassinates Castro (actually a body double). Once captured, he is sent to the infamous Vorkuta gulag. Upon his release, he receives his orders from Robert McNamara and JFK themselves. He almost single-handedly saves Khe Sanh in the precursor to the Tet offensive. And it is later revealed that he was the second shooter who killed JFK.
An in-universe example from Modern Warfare 3: after it is exposed that Makarov knows Yuri, Yuri tells Price about his involvement in various affairs earlier in the series - he and Makarov were in the jeep that got Zakhaev safely away after Price shot his arm off in Pripyat from "One Shot, One Kill", they were there to personally detonate Al-Asad's nuke in "Shock and Awe", and Yuri was meant to be a sixth shooter in the massacre from "No Russian", though he was shot in the gut after having second thoughts and ended up trying to stop the massacre, only to fall unconscious from blood loss.
Call of Duty: Black Ops II has this both in and out of universe. The Afghanistan level sees Mason saving a contingent of Mujaheddin from a Soviet assault, along with his friend Woods and a Chinese agent working with them, thus inadvertently saving the life of one Mullah Rahman, a real-life figure who went on to become a notorious commander in the Taliban. When they're betrayed and nearly killed, Mason and Reznov, maybe saves their lives. The Chinese agent is Tian Zhao, who later becomes the head of the Strategic Defense Coalition and a minor antagonist, with the Strike Force missions needed for the best ending culminating in him being assassinated by JSOC troops commanded by Mason's son, David.

Witch Girls Adventures has a lot of it. Most gods, mythical heroes, legendary monsters, and the like are somewhat distorted accounts of witches and otherkin; witches were major players in the Underground Railroad and were responsible for starting the American civil war; open Witch and Otherkin influence was pivotal in the flourishing of science and the arts in the late 19th and early 20th century and Allied victory in World War II — but was later erased from records and memory by the witches; the Flower Power movement was the result of a large-scale spell cast by the counselor and several students at Coventry school for girls... it goes on like this for a bit.

Forever (2014):
The Jack the Ripper case is described as leading to the creation of professional medical examiners. Henry just happens to be the doctor brought in to consult on the murders, thus he also happens to be the world's first medical examiner. Adam mentions he was in London at the time, leading Henry to fear he might be Jack the Ripper, but Henry's estimate that Jack had a larger than average hand, combined with the later reveal of Adam's relatively slight stature, makes it unlikely.
Thanks to his longevity, and supernatural ability to get himself in trouble, Henry's saved three generations of a royal family over the span of 60 years.
The doctor who experimented on Adam in Auschwitz was Dr. Josef Mengele.
Adam claims that he was there at the stabbing of Julius Caesar and died trying to save him.

Sharpe is a similar example—if he'd been killed in India, Britain would probably have lost the Napoleonic Wars. Some things Sharpe is responsible for: the assassination of Tipu Sultan; saving the Duke of Wellington's life; the capture of Gawilghur; stopping an Indo-French treaty (by murdering an accredited diplomat no less) to force Britain out of India; capturing the Danish fleet at Copenhagen; securing funding for the Lines of Torres Vedras; the explosion at Almeida; covering up a scandal involving the Peer's brother and the British ambassador to Spain; leading the Forlorn Hope at Badajoz; shooting the Prince of Orange at the Battle of Waterloo; helping the Chilean Revolution to succeed.
Similarly, the character of Uhtred from the Saxon Stories series is involved in most of Alfred the Great's campaigns against the Danes. His absence from historical records is explained in-universe as the result of a dislike for the pagan Uhtred on the part of the Christian monks who wrote them. In both cases, the series began as attempts to depict the careers of famous historical figures—the Duke of Wellington and Alfred the Great, respectively—from a different, more earthy perspective than usual.
His American Civil War character, Nathaniel Starbuck, was responsible for warning Nathan Evans (who is portrayed as a hilariously Lethal Joke Character) of the Union flanking movement at the First Battle of Manassas Junction, thus saving the Confederacy and setting the stage for a long Civil War.

In Nomine: Archangels and Princes tend to be quite old, and you don't rise to such a position of prominence in the Host or the hierarchy of Hell by sitting around all day. As such, quite a few of them were directly or indirectly responsible for several major historic events.
Eli, the Archangel of Creation, has been walking the Earth for a long time, and providing inspiration to mortals for almost as long. He was the one who delivered Zoroaster's original revelation, for instance.
Zadkiel, the Archangel of Protection, is a later-generation angel, having been "born" as a lesser spirit when history was already well underway, but she is old enough to speak on historic events from personal experience. She spent most of her early career in central Italy on the plain of the Tiber, and knew Romulus and Remus when they walked the world (Heavenly rumor to the contrary, she was not the wolf that raised them). Her personal efforts in preventing the Rape of the Sabine Womennote "Rape" here stands for the world's older meaning as "kidnapping" or "rapine"from degenerating into war was what earned her promotion to the Angel of Protection. Her later work in guiding Roman cultural growth were what saw her rise further to her current seat as an Archangel.
Belial, the Prince of Fire, has a habit of wandering the Earth in search of interesting things to set alight. As such, he has been present for a lot of famous conflagrations: he was there for the Great Fire of Rome, the burning of the Library of Alexandria, and the Great Fire of London, started the Great Chicago Fire outright, took efforts to confuse and disorganize firemen after the 1906 San Francisco Earthquake to help its resulting fires spread out of control, and was a cheerful spectator at the atomic bomb droppings and the Chernobyl disaster.
Fleurity, the Prince of Drugs, originally obtained his Word after goading the British into selling narcotics in China and starting the Opium War, rose to fame by inflaming the United States' drug panics and eventual passing of disproportionate control laws, and earned his Princedom on the twin impetus of the crack epidemic and the War on Drugs.
Valefor, the Prince of Theft, claims resposnbility for a number of world-changing thefts in the last millennium or so, such as setting up the Templars' disgrace to loot their treasuries, stealing the sealant for the Spanish Armada's gunpowder barrels, and filching Nikola Tesla's electrotherapy cure for cancer.
Played with regarding Baal, the Prince of the War. He has fomented his share of bloody conflicts, but he is always quick to point out the many, many wars that he had no hand in. Baal likes to emphasize these specifically because they help support his point that humans are pathetic and unworthy beings — if all historic disasters were made by Princely intervention, then it might seem that God's belief in the worth of the human spirit might be onto something after all. The fact that the apes don't need any external encouragement to slaughter one another, Baal says, is all the proof he needs that he was right all along.

Captain America: The Winter Soldier has the titular villain, an assassin active over the last seventy years, who HYDRA used to shape the world into the current era of paranoia. It's heavily implied, judging by the numerous Russian features they gave him, that the Winter Soldier is directly (though unwillingly and unknowingly) responsible for escalating the Cold War. The sequel Captain America: Civil War reveals the Winter Soldier killed Tony Stark's parents, which leads an enraged Iron Man to try to murder him and causes a rift between him and Cap for years.

Not only is he behind various events in the Sonic series such as the release of Chaos, the creation of Shadow, the Black Arms invasion, and the Metarex War, he's also been involved in actual human history numerous times.

Sophia Petrillo from The Golden Girls is a case combined with Unreliable Narrator, thanks to a combination of a slight stroke, general old lady nuttiness, and a tendency to stretch the truth in her stories if she's trying to make a point. One should take her stories with a grain of salt. Her various anecdotes include:
Having a romantic tryst with Pablo Picasso;
Knowing where Jimmy Hoffa was buried;
Holding court with three lovers on a small island before World War II, then promising to come back to that same island in the future to choose who she loved best—while she never returned, the three men did in what history knows better as the Yalta Conference;
Sharing a pizza-sauce recipe with the woman who later became Mama Celeste;
Being close friends with future Prime Minister of Israel Golda Meir;
And sitting in a mechanic's garage immediately adjacent to the St. Valentine's Day Massacre in Chicago (although in a later episode, she claimed "I was at the movies that day. All day.")

Doctor Who (Titan) has done this a couple of times:
In an Eleventh Doctor story, it is told that the vision at the Battle of the Milvian Bridge which converted Emperor Constantine to Christianity was a combination of a crashing Cyberman spaceship and an illusion that the Doctor created to drive the Cybermen away.
In a Twelfth Doctor story, a character in nineteenth-century England known as Charlotte is revealed to be Charlotte Brontë, with Clara and the Doctor and their relationship influencing Jane and Mr. Rochester in Jane Eyre.

These include leading an army of elephants over the Alps to attack Rome, inventing the telephone and Internet, and being the trusted advisor to British Prime Ministers and U.S. presidents, among other things. It has unexpected consequences when two space aliens try to kidnap him, wanting him to head up their civilization's Brain Trust Committee.

The Sandman (1989):
The stories occasionally feature Morpheus becoming involved with or perpetuating some of history's biggest legends. Throughout the Fables and Reflections trade paperback, he is the catalyst behind the City of Glass myth, as well as giving Joshua Norton the dream to become the Emperor of the United States on a bet with his siblings. He also made an arrangement with Shakespeare, giving him the stories and the immortality he wanted in return for two plays: A Midsummer Night's Dream as a gift to Oberon and Titania, and The Tempest for himself.
The Greek poet Orpheus was also suitably retconned into becoming Morpheus' son, with many of the Endless helping to facilitate his famous descent into the Underworld to retrieve his dead wife. For that matter, many of Apollo's deeds are explained as Morpheus' doing, with him explaining that Apollo was a god of storytellers and legends; aspects which fall under Dream's purview and confuse casual listeners.
All explainable by the fact that it's Dream's job to inspire people to greatness. So most people with lasting fame have interacted with him in some level. And by the fact that he's the personification of dreaming: both the dreams you have when you sleep, and the dreams that you strive for when awake.
In Sandman: Endless Nights, a cocktail party of the gods, at the dawn of time, ends up Gumping the origins of both Superman and the Green Lantern Corps.

Space Jam posits that the Looney Tunes and evil cartoon aliens persuaded Michael Jordan to return to basketball. One suspects they were not involved in real life. In a way, they were: as part of his contract, Michael Jordan demanded that Warner Brothers construct a basketball court with all imaginable amenities for him to practice himself back into shape.

Hercules: The Legendary Journeys and to a greater extent Xena: Warrior Princess each had the titular characters delving into full-on Gumpdom.
Hercules embedded Excalibur itself in stone, found himself caught up in the Norse gods' Ragnarok, invented the Olympics (with Salmoneus providing the name), saved King Midas from his gold curse, and was present at the destruction of Atlantis. Iolaus, meanwhile, was implied to be one of the Three Wise Men and helped claim the Golden Fleece.
The Golden fleece makes sense seeing as Hercules was one of the Argonauts.
Xena was responsible for Lucifer's fall from grace. She also gave a donkey to a certain pregnant couple on their way to Nazareth. By way of Greece. She took the Sword out of the Stone and then put it back in. She aided Boadicea's army and was the pirate captain that captured Julius Caesar. Yes. Xena is the master chef of the Anachronism Stew. She puts a bit of herself into each delicious bowl.

The Man from Earth plays this straight and also averts it: John Oldman barely remembers a lot of the historical events he took part in because at the time he took part in them, they were not important historical events, just things that he happened to do that day. It was only later, upon reading history books, that he realized his probable involvement. He also points at that he's just one man in one place at one time, so there is a very limited number of important or famous people that he could meet even during the course of a 14,000-year life. That said, he claims to have known Van Gogh, studied under Siddhartha Gautama, and in an attempt to spread those teachings to the Middle East became known as Jesus.

Code Monkeys:
One episode had Dave give the phrase "jam on" to Michael Jackson, while working on what would be Moonwalker. He also offers up several that he's said over the years, such as "talk to the hand", "my bad" and "this is TOTALLY rape". By the end of the episode, the staff at Gameavision is responsible for everything wrong with Michael that wasn't the fault of his father or various gold diggers.
The "E.T" episode saw Dave meet a young M. Night Shyamalan at the E.T. movie premiere and give him the inspiration for The Sixth Sense. Likewise, Black Steve gives Steven Spielberg the idea for The Color Purple (1985), despite not knowing who Steven Spielberg is.
Another episode has one of Dave's games replace Taxi Driver as what inspired John Hinckley Jr's attempted assassination of Ronald Reagan.

There are actually a lot of these in Star Wars Legends. Any time someone makes a game and they want to set it during the movies, if they don't stick with the movie characters, they will make important new ones. There is a whole mess of people responsible for getting the Death Star plans to Leia, for example, like Bria Tharen and Kyle Katarn.

The Amelia Peabody novels center around a family of Egyptologists working in Egypt in the 1880s-1920s (so far). Since they have to make discoveries periodically, the author has them make all the discoveries of Flinders Petrie, a real-life Egyptologist who worked in the same era. In order to avoid the awkwardness of actually meeting him, the author gave the main character's husband an uncontrollable dislike of him.

Primeval: A recurring concept is that legends of mythological creatures and cryptids were the results of animals from the pre-Anthropocene past and the future coming through Anomaies into ancient human history — the Egyptian goddess Ammut was actually a Pristichampsus, Medieval English tales of a dragon being slain by a knight were apparently inspired by a Dracorex that Sir William de Mornay pursued, and Sisiutl was actually inspired by Titanoboa in the Canadian spin-off. Also, Spring-Heeled Jack was actually a raptor.

Legends of Tomorrow: Common, especially after season 1.
Sara seduces the queen of France and later becomes the central target of the Salem Witch Trials for "corrupting" the local girls. She also turns out to be Lancelot of Arthurian Legend.
Mick becomes friends with George Washington, resulting in there being a statue of him in DC during the present day. He also gave Ishiro Honda the idea for a movie about a giant lizard.
Ray leaves footprints behind in the Jurassic period (though paleontologists assume it is a hoax) and becomes Sir Galahad of Arthurian legend after the original one dies.
During the Apollo 13 incident, Stein distracts the entire control room at a crucial moment by singing the Banana Boat song.

The Troy Saga is a Demythification version of the Trojan War set during the late Bronze Age, so actual historical events at the time occur and sometimes the characters in the series take part in them. Hektor at the start of the series is off with the Trojan Horse serving in the Hittite Army in one of its wars against Egypt. He's later revealed to have played an instrumental role in the real-life historical Battle of Kadesh

Buffyverse:
A flashback in the Anya-centric "Selfless" episode shows the ex-vengeance demon and her friend Halfrek dining in a room full of massacred victims in St. Petersburg in the year 1905. Halfrek praises her for granting a wish which sparks the 1905 Revolution.
Anya's past Marxism is a comical allusion to her later Patriotic Fervor which sees her fall deeply in love with capitalism.
In the earlier episode "Lessons", there is a brief mention of Anya interacting with a "Mrs. Csolgosz", which some have suggested is meant to be a reference to Leon Czolgosz, the assassin of President William McKinley.
The Darla-Angel-Drusilla-Spike family have been linked to various events, but not necessarily causing them. From Spike killing a slayer in the Boxer Rebellion to Angel hanging out with Elvis, Bugsy Siegel, and The Rat Pack in Vegas.
Spike also claims Billy Idol stole his look from him rather than the other way around.
In "School Hard" one of the random vampires claimed to have been at the Crucifixion. Spike was highly skeptical of that, for good reason; the Sun was only dark for 3 hours and it was noon when the darkness started.
Sahjhan, a member of the Big Bad Duumvirate of Angel season 3, claims that he invented daylight savings time.

Ender's Shadow retells Ender's Game from the perspective of Bean, who is revealed to have been responsible for a lot of Ender's successes, making him this trope in a fictional setting. (And provoking some people to consider him a Canon Sue.)

In Neighbors, apparently Delta Psi is responsible for inventing toga parties, beer pong, and the boot and rally. Subverted when Pete explains that hundreds of fraternities have also claimed credit for inventing them.

Similarly, Histeria! had a group of kids who would appear in every era, interact with several historical figures, and somehow inspiring them. They've given Benjamin Franklin several of his famous proverbs, invented the Franklin Stove, and helped him discover electricity in lightning. They also inspired Rosa Parks not to move to the back of the bus, inspire Thomas Edison to invent the lightbulb, among other things.

Assassins features Being There, Shaping History as a key theme. Since the musical tells the stories of people who tried to kill Presidents of the United States, each of them is depicted as changing the course of American history with their actions regardless of success or failure. The same musical features the song "How I Saved Roosevelt," which features everyday people humorously exaggerating how their presence in a failed assassination attempt on Franklin Delano amounts to them being superhuman heroes that single-handedly saved him from death. Later, the same song gets a Dark Reprise in "Something Just Broke," which strips away the humor and focuses instead on the precise moment when those same everyday people heard the news of successful presidential assassinations—"I'll remember it forever...where I was, what I was doing..."

Casca: The Eternal Mercenary is about an immortal Roman soldier once known as Casca Rufio Longinus, who's fought in virtually every major war since he stabbed Jesus on the cross. He inspired the Aztec god Quetzalcoatl, returned to Mexico as one of Cortez's conquistadors, and shot Hitler.

X-Men Origins: Wolverine: Wolverine and Sabertooth fought in the American Revolution, were there on D-Day (though The Wolverine has him fighting in the Pacific instead, and being present for the Nagasaki bombing), and finally bumped into Stryker in the last days of the Vietnam War. And their action indirectly caused the Three Mile Island incident.

In The King's Beard, in the only hint in the film that the story takes place on Earth in the indeterminate past at all (as opposed to a generic fantasy realm), Wizzy shows off a "rabbit-in-a-hat spell" that he's developed and optimistically quips that it's "bound to catch on".

In a related example to Mr. Burns, his teddy bear Bobo (its origin story being a reference to Citizen Kane) was also involved in inspiring Charles Lindbergh to cross the Atlantic Ocean in his plane, and upon arriving in France, he threw the bear at the crowd cheering him, where it was picked up by Hitler inspiring to do all the stuff he did (and Hitler blamed it for everything going wrong during his final minutes at his bunker) and was also stuck in the periscope of the US submarine which first reached the North Pole underwater, where it got frozen and was recovered by an expedition sent there to collect ice bags for Apu to sell. A deleted scene showed it involved in the Kennedy assassination.

A character can run missions that set up events for heroes at the equivalent level. For example, a heroic story arc starts off when a gang gets their hands on a powerful spellbook and accidentally summons a major demon. A villainous contact at the same level range offers a mission to steal a spellbook and plant it for members of a minor gang to find...

A factor in both Dark Souls and its sequel.
The DLC to the first game has you return to the last days of Oolacile and rescue Princess Dusk from Manus. These tasks had, by the time of the game proper, been attributed to Knight Artorias, who attempted to rescue her but was corrupted by the Abyss into a mindless husk and then slain by you.
Towards the end of Dark Souls II, you travel back to the Giants' invasion of Drangleic via the Ashen Mist Heart and the memories of the fallen Giants. Turns out the reason the Giants never made it past what is now called the Forest Of Fallen Giants was that you personally beat the crap out of their leader, the Giant Lord. You might remember him as the Last Giant, a.k.a. the first boss of the game. You know, that decrepit, almost-dead Giant who took one look at you and instantly got so pissed that he dug himself out of a pile of rocks and charged you at top speed? Now you know why he was so pissed.
In the Crown of the Old Iron King DLC, there is an optional area where you can again use the Ashen Mist Heart to travel back in time via a memory, this time to Iron Keep at the height of the Old Iron King's power. You have a boss battle with his best knight Sir Alonne, who is said to have mysteriously disappeared around that time. Mystery solved.

Tomorrow Never Dies: Elliot Carver caused the Mad Cow panic of the 1990s in order to avenge himself on a British beef tycoon who lost to him in a game of poker and refused to pay up. (And kept the stories running for two more years when the tycoon's French competitors bribed him to do so).

In The Hobbit, it is said that the game of golf was invented by hobbits at the Battle of the Green Fields, in which Bilbo's great grand-uncle Bullroarer Took scored a decisive blow by knocking off Golfimbul's head with a wooden club for a hundred-yard drive into a rabbit hole.

All For Luz: All for One was born during the rise of Quirks in his world and became one its first supervillains. He also created One For All succession through his younger brother and wagged a 10-year war for control of the Boiling Isles with Emperor Belos and introduced Quirks to the witch population, including recreating One For All through Amity. After his death, he caused a Mass Super-Empowering Event in the Human Realm when soul ended up in Luz's mindscape. He's pretty much connected to almost every other character in the story either directly or indirectly.

Sunday in the Park with George is more localized, as it focuses on the (fictional) creation of Georges Seurat's masterpiece A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte. Each of the figures in the painting is imagined as a real person whose presence shaped Seurat's own perceptions of the world; the painting only exists because they were there to bring it to life.

In Age of Empires III, the Black family seems to intentionally or unintentionally insert itself into historical events.
Morgan Black, a Hospitalier, participated in the Great Siege of Malta, defending the island from the Ottomans.
Morgan's grandson John Black took part in the Seven Years' War and even worked with George Washington.
John's son Nathaniel fought during the The American Revolution.
Nathaniel's daughter Amelia helped Simón Bolívar throw off the Spanish rule in Latin America.
Amelia's son Chayton helped the Sioux fight The Seventh Cavalry and General Custer, taking part in the Battle of Little Bighorn.

In Superman (Brian Michael Bendis), Jonathan Samuel Kent suggests to a coalition of aliens to create a union of various worlds so that tragedies such as the destruction of Krypton would never happen again. The idea sticks and he, Superman, and Supergirl are shocked by the arrival of the Legion of Super-Heroes, who reveal he just helped create the United Planets.
