Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })This character has been hit with a Viral Transformation, Emergency Transformation, become a cyborg, demon, magical creature, alien or discovers they were never human at all. Despite this, and regardless of any angst over What Have I Become?, they decide that rather than go down the path of Transhuman Treachery and be a Smug Super, Black Shirt, or The Quisling, they will do everything in their power to stay a part of humanity. And if their new species/transhuman fellows are anti-human, they will vow to protect humanity in a pseudo Faustian Rebellion. This can also include transhumans who cast themselves in a shepherd-like role for mankind. This doesn't include forcibly applying What Measure Is a Non-Super? to bootstrap humanity up, though. That's more of a Visionary Villain who believes Utopia Justifies the Means. Many Friendly Neighborhood Vampires fall in this category. Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_2'); })If the transformation is due to The Virus, this requires copious Heroic Willpower. These characters can usually pull off a Sheep in Wolf's Clothing gambit. See also Monster Adventurers. Related to My Species Doth Protest Too Much, which refers to creatures that aren't former humans. Opposite Trope to Super Supremacist, a superpowered individual who regards the non-superpowered as beneath them. Super Trope to Vampire Refugee and Phlebotinum Rebel. Contrast Transhuman Treachery. See also/compare A God I Am Not. |

The sequel to Tokyo Ghoul has the members of the Quinx Squad, all experimental Half Human Hybrids created as a new potential weapon for CCG to use against Ghouls. Their existence and usage is controversial, with many other investigators expressing unease about the organization performing human experimentation and blurring the line between humans and Ghouls. In particular, team leader Haise Sasaki was transformed into a Half-Ghoul against his will and made the decision to use his new-found powers to protect humanity. Or rather, after Ken Kaneki was fatally wounded and lost his memory, CCG took him in and studied him before putting him to work as a potential trump card. As such, it isn't clear how genuinely "pro-human" he is. | |

Michael Costner and Sasha Bordeax, two of the OMACs in the post Infinite Crisis continuity. Sasha Bordeaux, formerly a Batman companion and then part of Checkmate, was infected with the O.M.A.C. nanovirus to become a more advanced O.M.A.C., with enough free will to coordinate and command the other units. That enables Sasha to rebel, destroy Brother Eye and later reclaim a less advanced, but more useful and human-like cyborg form for herself. Michael Costner, a young thief and grifter is activated as a regular powered O.M.A.C. unit to help rebuilding a thrashed Brother Eye. A peculiar combination of guilt for his past as a common burglar, lack of self worth, his earlier bout with drug addiction and The Power of Love enable Michael to shake off his programming and fight against Brother Eye for the sake of the world and his girl. In the end, while his pregnant girlfriend Vienna acquires his very same powers and rushes to his help, she dies and with Brother Eye deactivated, Michael loses access to his powers. In a bittersweet ending, Clark Kent manages to have Michael and Vienna revered as heroes and saviors of the human race. |

The protagonist in Blue Gender has a "disease" called B Cells which are a form of Gaia's Vengeance. It's intended to cause humans to rebel against their peers and go kill crazy (which it does spectacularly to two other characters). He manages to stay sane despite the various hardships Gaia and humanity throw at him. | |

Genocide Man: Genocide Men believe that they are such, except maybe for Joey, using their ceramic skeletons, artificial glands, and suitcases full of ebola to hunt down and exterminate genetic deviants for the good of humanity. Though there are signs that their philosophy is flawed, and they turned most of the planet into deviants themselves in an attempt to make people immune to designer plagues and less violent, with a virus that killed over a billion people. | |

In the original 30 Days of Night, sheriff Eben purposefully infects himself with vampirism and manages to save the survivors with his newfound strength. He then kills himself since he can feel the bloodlust coming on and knows he can't maintain his original self for much longer. The second comic series, Dark Days, has an originally less-than-nice vamp pulling a gradual Heel–Face Turn (at first helping Stella out purely for revenge against the Big Bad, but later on out of genuine feelings for her); by the end of the story, he doesn't even try to feed on her, despite having the perfect opportunity, which is saying something as vampires in that 'verse are pretty much all bloodthirsty (in both senses) Always Chaotic Evil sociopaths from the moment they're turned, even if they were dedicated vampire killers just before. Unfortunately, after his resurrection, vampire!Eben is not quite so inclined... |

Terry Pratchett's Discworld: In Thief of Time, the character Myria LeJean is an Auditor, an enemy of humanity, but upon taking human form she realises what it is she seeks to destroy and becomes opposed to her own people, in defence of humanity. In Snuff, the Dwarvish demonic entity The Summoning Dark, vanquished by Sam Vimes, becomes his ally in the cause of law and order. Also, DEATH himself is fond of people, and on more than one occasion actively defends them. His granddaughter, Susan Sto Helit, is a straighter example since she actually IS human, but inherited some of her grandfather's traits and abilities. She's also his most reliable ally in protecting the people of the Disc from the Auditors of Reality. |

In Kamen Rider Ex-Aid, Kiriya Kujo is killed fairly early in the series by Kuroto Dan, and much later on he's revived as a Bugster (essentially a living computer virus). While it looks like he's undergone a Face–Heel Turn at first, it turns out he was just faking it, and jumps ship to the good guys as soon as he steals something important away from the Big Bad. Kuroto is also killed and resurrected, but remains a complete prick with a major God complex; technically he's on humanity's side, mainly because he hates the other side more. Together they end up developing an important vaccine that helps bring down the Big Bad, and at the end of the series they're still Bugsters and still with the heroes. | |

The trope is downplayed in Diaspora in the treatment of the statics, people who remain baseline humans rather than accept any Bio-Augmentation, cybernetics, or Brain Uploading. Their choice is respected and their communities protected, but most individuals disregard them as being backwards, short-lived, and absurdly limited in their capacity for experience. When the Earth is scoured by a gamma ray burst, a few AIs try to save them by forcibly uploading as many as possible, others offer assistance on the statics' terms, and many have no qualms about standing back to watch the organics' self-righteous principles come back to bite them in the rear. | |

Mr. House in Fallout: New Vegas is this in spades. While he claims to be “flesh and blood, not silicon,” he projects his will through a brain-computer interface into an army of robots, all of which are functional extensions of his body when they’re close enough to the Lucky 38, and any Courier who turns against him will probably see the extent of his cybernetics. And his stated raison d'être? Nothing less than “[Give me] 100 years, and my colony ships will be heading for the stars, to search for planets unpolluted by the wrath and folly of a bygone generation.” He’s as cold as you like, but he does want to save humanity (though he doesn’t respect most of it, much less trust it to govern itself). | |

In Dragon Age: Origins, part of the Joining Ritual to become a Grey Warden involves ritually drinking Darkspawn blood, where the Wardens willingly submit themselves to the Taint, becoming immune to its effects (for thirty years), gaining the ability to sense the Darkspawn and rendering them the only ones capable of truly slaying an Archdemon, thus ending the latest Blight. The Architect in Dragon Age: Origins – Awakening qualifies, although technically he's a Token Heroic Orc who is not so much concerned with preventing further Blights to help humanity as much as he desires to free the Darkspawn from the influence of the Old Gods. However, he's not been particularly successful so far, since the last time he tried to help he ended up accidentally causing the Fifth Blight. On the other hand, the reason the Circles of Magi exist is because the Chantry, as well as a good chunk of the population, do not believe that mages can be reliably Pro Humans. This is mainly because of the Tevinter Imperium, which is ruled by powerful mages, and controlled much of Thedas centuries before. In fact, according to Chantry teachings, the Tevinter mages are responsible for creating the Darkspawn. There's also the little fact that every mage is a potential conduit for evil spirits of the Fade to enter the world. A good example of a Pro-Human mage would be the father of Hawke who taught his mage children to use their powers responsibly and had his own Badass Creed where he reminded himself that his magic would "serve that which is best in (him), not that which is most base." Mage player characters can be this as well... or not. |

Dungeons & Dragons supplement Knight of the Living Dead. A lich brings a paladin of Torm back from death as an undead creature. The lich orders him to gather magic items to help the lich conquer the city of Waterdeep, but instead he decides to fight against the lich's forces and protect the inhabitants of the city. Especially in the d20 fork, there are a lot of transhuman options (of varying degrees of alteration from the base norm) available for good characters (good, of course, being by its nature opposed to a lot of the classic symptoms of a Super Supremacist). |

In Mass Effect 3, if Commander Shepard chooses to control the Reapers in the ending, Reaper!Shepard - especially a Paragon one - vows to use them as a force for good. Technically, Paragon Shepard became Transhuman during the second game, having been resurrected with cybernetic implants, as well as undergoing extensive genetic modification that not only gives them increased speed and stamina, but resistance to small arms fire and strong enough to wield weapons that when fired, would normally shatter every bone in a normal person's arm. Shepard is a Pro-Human Transhuman in either case; paragon Shepard is a hero who protects all sentient life in the galaxy, while renegade Shepard helps humans and nobody else. |

Kira in Mobile Suit Gundam SEED is accidentally this, being a Coordinator fighting for an army consisting entirely of Naturals (in a war started to exterminate his kind!). Not really his intention: he only fights to protect his friends. When it's revealed that both sides have genocidal intentions, he and his girlfriend, Lacus, form the Three Ships' Alliance, which includes deserters from both the Natural and Coordinator armies, and want an end to the war. Naturally enough, several other Pro-Human Transhumans, including Lacus, Athrun, Dearka, and the Desert Tiger, end up in this faction. | |

Kamen Rider series does this as a tradition. At the very basest level, in every series the Rider's powers are somehow connected the bad guys (most often in the form of stolen technology), but the hero chooses to use his powers for good rather than evil. The Showa-era shows (1971-1989) were about ordinary people being subjected to Unwilling Roboticisation by evil organizations or cults, only to escape with their free will intact and use their newfound powers to protect humanity. The few exceptions are V3 and Stronger (who willingly became cyborgs so they could fight the bad guys) and Amazon (whose powers come from a Mayincatec artifact). In Kamen Rider 555, Orphenochs are supposedly the next evolution of mankind, and the evil organization forces them to attack normal humans (in hopes of siring more Orphenochs. However, about one in a hundred can be transformed; most just turn to dust.) Some just go nuts on their own. However, there's a trio of renegade Orphenochs living together Being Human-style. The Rider suits were created by the bad guys, but are not themselves part of the transformation, though for the main Rider, it turns out there's a very good reason he can use a Transformation Trinket that isn't supposed to work for humans. In Kamen Rider Gaim, both Kouta and Kaito end up willingly becoming Overlord Invase in their pursuit of the Golden Fruit. When Kouta wins, he Takes a Third Option and sends the Forest of Helheim to a remote planet on the edge of the galaxy, sparing humanity from near extinction. Though Kaito acted as a Social Darwinist for much of the show and followed a different path than Kouta, he was still well-intentioned and wanted to help humanity. In Kamen Rider Ex-Aid, Kiriya Kujo is killed fairly early in the series by Kuroto Dan, and much later on he's revived as a Bugster (essentially a living computer virus). While it looks like he's undergone a Face–Heel Turn at first, it turns out he was just faking it, and jumps ship to the good guys as soon as he steals something important away from the Big Bad. Kuroto is also killed and resurrected, but remains a complete prick with a major God complex; technically he's on humanity's side, mainly because he hates the other side more. Together they end up developing an important vaccine that helps bring down the Big Bad, and at the end of the series they're still Bugsters and still with the heroes. |

In Trinity Blood, Abel Nightroad is a Cruznik, a being that feeds upon vampires (and is thus two steps above humans in the food chain). That doesn't stop him from devoting his life to defending humanity, and using his relatively harmless default form to masquerade as a normal human. He is an interesting example of a Pro-Human Transhuman in that he was a Designer Baby and thus born a transhuman. He was also originally quite anti-human. | |

In Infinity Blade, the Deathless are revealed later in the series to be normal humans from a bygone era, who technologically altered their Q.I.P.'s and bodies to make them immortal, permanently at their physical peak, and grant them superhuman power. In the second game, it's revealed that Siris, the main character, is actually the Deathless Ausar the Vile, who lost his memories and lived on amongst normal humanity, but this fact doesn't stop him from fighting for humanity's freedom. | |

Adam Jensen in Mass Effect: Human Revolution is this trope even more than he was in Deus Ex: Human Revolution, to the point where Hein means to use him to force humanity as a whole into a Heel–Face Turn "I'm going to turn Jensen into the most powerful human being in the Galaxy. I'm going to make the rest of mankind turn green with envy and stew in their jealousy as Jensen comes to their rescue, again and again and again, and go mad when he fails to turn into the monster they all expect him to become.

The God Eater series features this trope more subtly in the form of the titular God Eaters. In order to use their God Arcs and defend humanity, they need to be injected with Oracle Cells that effectively turn them part Aragami. Otherwise, they would not only lack the strength and endurance needed to fight said Aragami, but would also literally be eaten alive by their own weapons. The use of a powerful drug called Bias Factor is the only thing keeping them from transforming fully into the same monsters they fight. | |

The player characters Vent and Aile in Mega Man ZX are, like most people in this period, crosses of human- and Reploidkind, and fight to protect everyone. In the earlier series, Dr. Light is this, having become an infomorph and continues protecting humanity through aiding his "son" X. In the Alternate Timeline of Mega Man Battle Network, MegaMan.EXE/Hub Hikari, an infomorph in the form of a Net Navi, is fully pro-human. |

Gilgamesh of Fate/stay night was created by the gods of his time to tie them to humans, ensuring the continued existence of the gods. Gilgamesh eventually came to love humans more than the gods and rejected his role in the gods' plan, choosing to rule over Uruk because it was worth ruling. Even Gilgamesh's attempts to unleash Angra Mainyu on humanity is driven by his belief that the best humans will survive and be worth ruling. | |

In Warhammer 40,000, every Space Marine is a bioengineered Transhuman, yet they serve humanity with zealous ferocity. It helps that the transformation, and the very reason they exist, is explicitly to protect humanity better. Of course their methods of protecting humanity include ruthlessly exterminating anything that isn't human. note Of course, they also gleefully exterminate humans that oppose the Imperium (heretics!) or those too deviated from the holy human form (mutants!). It does actually vary by Chapter to Chapter on whether they're the protectors of humanity or the executioners of the Emperor's enemies. Some of the nicer Chapters including the Ultramarines (who run a Lawful Good and comparatively pleasant sector of the Imperium), the Space Wolves (who pulled an epic What the Hell, Hero? on the Inquisition and actually had a small war with them at one point over it), the Raven Guard (who will save everyone or die trying due to their Tear Jerker past), and the Salamanders (who are the only chapter who actively protect civilians, making them something of an Ensemble Dark Horse in the fandom) count especially as this trope. The Flesh Tearers and Marines Malevolent, and especially the Chaos Space Marines, however... Deconstructed with the Emperor himself. An astonishingly powerful psyker verging on Physical God, the Emperor was essentially on the side of humanity...at the expense of all other species, meaning that the Great Crusade was as much a war of extermination as it was an attempt to protect human worlds. Additionally, his vast power and long lifespan meant that he had great difficulty relating to the people he depended on to run his great empire, which led to a rift developing between himself and the Primarchs that ended in fully half of them betraying him and setting off a civil war that would ultimately burn the Emperor's goals to ash. |

Virtually everyone who's not a "flat" (unaugmented human) is some shade of this by default in Eclipse Phase. Not much of a choice since the vast majority of those who survived the hard-takeoff Singularity were transhumans (and the harsh realities of the setting will ensure that they stay the majority no matter what anyone has to say about it); in fact, the setting refers to transhumanity. Though there are exceptions such as the Exhumans (in particular the Predator sub-faction) and the Ultimates. | |

This happens a couple of times in the new Doctor Who: This happens a lot with Cybermen who haven't been 100% perfectly converted. In "Doomsday," converted Torchwood head Yvonne Hartman shoots a bunch of Cybermen while repeating "I did my duty for queen and country...I did my duty for queen and country..." Cybermen who resist orders in the Series 8 finale include Danny Pink and The Brigadier. Similarly, Oswin Oswald and Tasha Lem resisted Dalek conversion and helped save the day. In "The Pandorica Opens", Rory Williams' Unexplained Recovery as a Roman soldier despite being erased from history is discovered to be because he was really an Auton duplicate and Manchurian Agent implanted with Rory's memories. Despite being forced to shoot Amy when his programming briefly took over, his genuine love for her allowed him to break his programming and he vowed to spend the next 2000 years protecting the Pandorica with Amy inside until she could be safely revived. And he did. |

Taken even further in Crysis 3, where a protracted nanotech Fusion Dance has you playing as an amalgam one dead guy's body, another dead guy's personality, and both of their memories, with an artificially intelligent suit of Powered Armor holding it all together.

In the original Deus Ex, this advocacy is exactly why the Helios AI wants to fuse with J.C. Denton instead of Bob Page. Page is a power-crazed tyrant bent on world domination who would oppress and subjugate. JC has been a staunch proponent of the people, and Daedalus, an aspect of Helios, had been watching the entire time. The "Pro-Human" aspect of JC is what Helios wants, to understand the human condition so it can better function as a benevolent machine god ruler. Helios knows enough about humans to know Bob Page is emphatically not a good choice for this. One of the three endings for the game involves JC volunteering and doing just that. | |

When they learn of the Inhibitors coming to destroy humanity they make preparations to flee, leaving the "baseline" humans to their fate. However, their nominal leader, Clavain, defects in an attempt to warn human space of what's coming. Captain John Armstrong Brannigan also became a pro-human transhuman after he becomes one with his starship and got over his repeated attempts to kill himself, cooperating with Ilia Volyova to try and save as many people from Resurgam as possible before the Inhibitors blast it with a directed solar flare. | |

Most of the characters in GUNNM / Battle Angel Alita, largely justified by the fact that, because the percentage of Hollywood Cyborgs in the setting is roughly equal to the percentage of the Americans owning cars, the question of What Measure Is a Non-Human? simply doesn't come up.

Teen Wolf does this. Scott. He cares deeply for humans and innocents, even trying to protect the Argents when possible. In contrast Derek is fine offering the "gift" of Lycanthropy to those who crave it, outcasts, the ones who are emotionally damaged and with health problems. Scott is particularly upset at this because of the active hunting werewolves face, making that much more likely the new converts die... Assuming they don't kill someone first. | |

By the end, Silk Spectre II must convince Dr. Manhattan that humans lives are worth protecting. It's the revelation that her father is The Comedian that does it - realizing the sheer improbability of human life is enough to restore his interest in protecting it. | |

Amuro Rey of Mobile Suit Gundam upon discovery and confirmation that he is in fact a Newtype argues that this does not make him special or any better than anyone else on the White Base crew. Even later on in Mobile Suit Gundam: Char's Counterattack he outright says he is not going to force humanity to change and has faith that humanity can improve on its own. | |

People in Crimson Dark with lots of augs, despite often being less than 20% flesh, still act just like normal humans. | |

The Thing of Fantastic Four. His teammates too, although they can pass for ordinary people in a way he can't. | |

The Great Ones in Belisarius Series embody this trope, being all for freedom, diversity and free adaptation of the human race to the new circumstances, while their archrivals the New Gods are Politically Incorrect Villains bent on racial purity and conformism. | |

In Hellsing: While most vampires revel in their non-humanity even if they fight for humans, Seras does everything in her power to remain as human as possible without neglecting her duties to the organization... which involve drinking blood so that she can use her vampiric powers to kill vampires that threaten humanity. Alucard's a weird case. He'll gleefully slaughter ordinary humans just for being ordered to attack him, but he also believes that monsters like himself are, in truth, weak because they could not bear to live mortal lives. He believes firmly that humans are the only ones who could ever truly defeat him, the way Abraham Van Helsing and his companions did in the past. Thus he has a loathing for humans who choose to become monsters for the sake of power, especially the power to defeat him. |

The Carthian Movement from Vampire: The Requiem aren't exactly advocates for humanity - some of their plans for alternative models of vampiric government rely on a steady supply of "cattle" - but of the various Covenants, they're the ones most likely to advocate for human ingenuity, believing that human models of civilization will point to a grand replacement for the standing model of praxis. One of their more radical factions, the Anti-Obstructionist Army, actually takes action against anyone who tries to Embrace a human, claiming that human thought is hampered by the somewhat cooling effect of becoming a vampire. | |

In Old Man's War, the CDF consists almost entirely of elderly men and women downloaded into genetically enhanced pseudo-clones (the rest is even less human). During boot camp one guy asks why they're bothering to defend baseline humanity when their new bodies are the next step in human evolution. Sergeant Ruiz tells him he couldn't be more wrong, all the alien DNA in their genomes makes them sterile and thus an evolutionary "dead end". In fact one of the reasons for the advanced enlistment age is so most of the recruits would have grandkids back home they would want to protect from baby-eating aliens. | |
