Alternatively, Father of Ultra is the Big Good and Ultraman King is the GreaterScopeParagon.

** President David Palmer (Senator in the first season) in the early years. As the President of the United States, he's the guy coordianting all the efforts to stop whatever bad thing is going on, while [[TheHero Jack Bauer]] is the one in the trenches actually fighting the terrorists and stopping the nuke/virus/nerve gas/whatever. There's a relationship of complete and absolute trust that exists between him and Bauer; while other Presidents show up in later years, they're usually more of an ObstructiveBureaucrat (if not an outright PresidentEvil).
** President Allison Taylor fulfills this role in the final two seasons, a refreshing change from the incompetent, obstructive, or outright [[PresidentEvil evil]] presidents that followed Palmer. [[spoiler:At least until her FaceHeelTurn in late Season 8, though she manages to [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone pull herself back]] at the critical moment]].
** Bill Buchanan. During and right after his [[spoiler:pre-death, sacrificial HeelFaceTurn]], the trope also applies to [[spoiler:George Mason]] as well.
** President James Heller in "[[Series/TwentyFourLiveAnotherDay Live Another Day]]." Although he and Jack have previously butted heads and had their ideals clash in the past, he's more than willing to cooperative with him despite some misgivings, and is even ready to sacrifice himself if it can save everyone in London.
* Commander Adama from ''Series/BattlestarGalactica1978'' and his counterpart William Adama from [[Series/BattlestarGalactica2003 the new series]].
* ''Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer'':
** Subverted with Giles, who is nominally this but in practice tends to defer to Buffy. Also subverted in that the Watchers Council seems to see themselves as this and is indeed traditionally in charge of the Slayer's fight against evil (a tradition Buffy never follows), but they also use [[IDidWhatIHadToDo cruel methods]] like torture and [[SecretTestOfCharacter rendering Slayers defenseless before locking them up with a vampire]].
** A further subversion, emphasized in ''Series/{{Angel}}'', is that the celestial PowersThatBe share similar WellIntentionedExtremist flaws as the Watcher Council.
** The presence of a greater Big Good is implied in the Season 3 episode where the [[FinalBossPreview First Evil]] was introduced. Angel is DrivenToSuicide by the First Evil reminding him of every innocent life he's destroyed when evil. He attempts to commit suicide-by-sunrise, but fails because it suddenly clouds over and starts snowing just before the sun comes up. [[LawOfConservationOfDetail When they spent the entire episode complaining about the unseasonably warm and sunny weather they were getting that Christmas.]]
* ''Series/CarnivalRow'': Absalom Breakspear: as Chancellor of the Republic of the Burgue, he's the elected leader of the Republic and the highest politician. Though imperfect, he is fair and progressive.
* ''Series/DoctorWho'':

She's eventually revealed to be [[spoiler:a Time Lady and one of only two members of the High Council to vote against Rassilon's [[ApocalypseHow reality-destroying]] plans]], but her ultimate identity remains unknown.
* Dr. Donald Anspaugh on ''Series/{{ER}}'', head of County General. In his first couple appearances he's actually implied to be a [[TyrantTakesTheHelm tyrant]], but after receiving a surprising amount of CharacterDevelopment in season 4, wherein he cares for his leukemia-stricken son and resists a buyout attempt by a [[CorruptCorporateExecutive sleazy drug company exec]], he stays firmly in this trope.
* ''Series/GameOfThrones'':
** Ned Stark to the North as a whole. Indeed, he's somehow referenced in almost every episode since his death.
** Jon indirectly becomes this to the entire series in Season 5 onward. Becoming the new Night's Commander, Jon is the one character acknowledging that the threat of the White Walkers far transcends the political fighting the rest of Westeros is engaged in. Stannis acknowledges this trait in Jon and even tries to recruit him in his campaign for the Iron Throne. He's the indisputable leader of "the living" after his coronation as the King in the North, in which he convinces the northern houses that the true enemy comes with the Winter storms. Depending on how accurate the prophecy of the Prince That Was Promised is, Jon may end up being the rebirth of the legendary hero Azor Ahai.
** Bran becomes the Three-Eyed-Raven, and will be the one to face the Night King when the time comes.
** Daenerys to her followers, since she is able to unite them and work together because they genuinely believe that she can make the world a better place and Tyrion fears that if she dies, everything will crumble to dust.
** Robert was the leader of the rebellion against the Mad King, which elevated him to King of Westeros. He commands the respect and loyalty of many people across Westeros and manages to achieve a delicate but peaceful balance of the Seven Kingdoms.
* Rebel/[[spoiler:Micah Sanders]] in Volume 4 of ''Series/{{Heroes}}''. Also, [[spoiler:Angela Petrelli]] in Volume 3, which is jarring because she and the Company had been portrayed as villains in the first two seasons. Richard Drucker, an opponent of the Company, served this role in the Season 2 graphic novels plotline, but had no role in the main show's plot and appeared to be killed by the Company after a couple of appearances. The Volume 4 graphic novels show that Rebel was inspired partially by Drucker's legacy, though.
* ''Franchise/KamenRider'':
** [[Series/KamenRider Takeshi Hongo/Kamen Rider #1]] (Hiroshi Fujioka) is the Big Good of the Showa Era and, to an extent, all Kamen Riders in general.
*** As the actor for [[Series/KamenRiderV3 Shiro Kazami/Kamen Rider V3]] (Hiroshi Miyauchi) proved easier to secure than Fujioka, V3 takes the lead when he returns in ''Series/KamenRiderX'', ''Series/KamenRiderSkyrider'', the ''Film/KamenRiderSuper1'' movie (voice only) and the ''Film/KamenRiderZX'' TV special, while Hongo appears either as StockFootage or a voice only FakeShemp. Even when Fujioka came BackForTheFinale in ''Series/KamenRiderStronger'', he was preceeded by Miyauchi as the first of the returning Riders.
** The Heisei Era doesn't really have a single unified leader, though [[Series/KamenRiderDecade Tsukasa Kadoya/Kamen Rider Decade]] probably comes closest thanks to his taking up the role of GuardianOfTheMultiverse. In ''Film/KamenRiderXSuperSentaiSuperHeroTaisen'' when Decade reverts to his original role as MultiversalConqueror and instigates a war with the Franchise/SuperSentai, the remaining heroes turn to Hongo for leadership. [[spoiler:Then it turns out that "Hongo" is actually Tsukasa in disguise. And ''then'' it turns out that Tsukasa is still a good guy and only pretended to be evil to lure out the real enemies]].
*** In individual Heisei series, the eponymous hero will typically act as this amongst the Kamen Rider ensembles.
* Jacob from ''Series/{{Lost}}''. Somewhat subverted in that he's a very "hands-off" kind of Big Good, doesn't put in any actual appearances until the final season, and he turns out to be a bit of a [[JerkassGods dick]]. The entire show was his giant SecretTestOfCharacter in order to find his replacement because he self-consciously realized he wasn't cut out for this whole PhysicalGod thing. [[spoiler:Accidentally turning your own brother into the ultimate incarnation of evil and the BigBad tends to do that to you]]. In the end, the best possible candidate ([[spoiler:Hurley]]) ends up succeeding him.
* ''Franchise/MetalHeroes'': Qom of the Galactic Union Patrol serves as the commander of ''Series/SpaceSheriffGavan'', ''Series/SpaceSheriffSharivan'' and ''Series/SpaceSheriffShaider''.
** By ''Series/SpaceSheriffGavanTheMovie'' and into ''Space Squad'', Retsu Ichijouji, the original Gavan, serves as this for the new Gavan and the next generation of Space Sheriffs.
* ''Series/PersonOfInterest'': The Machine combines this with DeusEstMachina and GodIsGood. It was designed to spy on the entire world in order to predict terrorist threats, with the side effect of also predicting all sorts of crimes irrelevant to national security. The protagonists work off this Irrelevant List to save the lives of common people. But as the show goes on, it becomes clear that the Machine is more alive than Harold pretends. It is a true AI, dedicated to nothing but protecting people. This especially becomes clear once it acquires an "analog interface" ([[spoiler:the hacker Root]]). She conveys the Machine's desire to protect anyone and everyone, to the point that she's not allowed to kill assassins coming to kill her. The Machine understands that sometimes its agents kill people, but never orders such things itself. In fact, a good number of problems arise because the Machine is [[HonorBeforeReason too good, refusing to allow innocents to be killed even for the sake of the entire world]].
-->'''The Machine:''' Trust in me. I am always watching.
* ''Franchise/PowerRangers'':

*** After [[spoiler:Zordon's death]], Jason Lee Scott, the original Red Ranger and leader of the ''Series/MightyMorphinPowerRangers'', and Tommy Oliver, the original SixthRanger, Jason's successor as leader and Red Ranger himself in ''Series/PowerRangersZeo'' and ''Series/PowerRangersTurbo'', serve as this as the number of Ranger teams continue to grow: Tommy and Jason take the lead together in the MilestoneCelebration episode ''[[Series/PowerRangerWildForce Forever Red]]'', Tommy leads a new team in ''Series/PowerRangersDinoThunder'', where he is revealed to be keeping an archive of Ranger history, is said to be a "legend" at the academy ExtyYearsfromNow in ''Series/PowerRangersSPD'', leads the Legendary Battle in ''Series/PowerRangersSuperMegaforce'' and in ''[[Series/PowerRangersNinjaSteel Dimensions in Danger]]'' and is suggested to be the ancestor of future Rangers in ''Zeo''. Then Jason comes back for ''Series/PowerRangersBeastMorphers''.
** Supreme Commander Fowler/Doggie Cruger from ''Series/PowerRangersSPD''.
** Captain Logan [[spoiler:and Alex Drake]] from ''Series/PowerRangersTimeForce''.
** Captain William Mitchell from ''Series/PowerRangersLightspeedRescue''.
** Animus from ''Series/PowerRangersWildForce''.
** Sensei Kanoi Watanabe from ''Series/PowerRangersNinjaStorm''.
** The Mystic Mother from ''Series/PowerRangersMysticForce'', [[spoiler:a famous villain and former BigBad after a HeelFaceTurn]].
** Andrew Hartford from ''Series/PowerRangersOperationOverdrive''.
** Gosei from ''Series/PowerRangersMegaforce''.
** Keeper from ''Series/PowerRangersDinoCharge''.
* Suleyman Shah, the chieftain of the Kayi clan, plays this role in ''Series/ResurrectionErtugrul'' [[spoiler: until he dies in the final moments of season 1, leaving his wife Hayme to take the position until sometime in season 2, when Ertugrul legally becomes the new head of the Kayis]].
** Korkut and Candar Beys (Seasons 2 and 3, respectively) are downplayed variants of this trope because although they have some seniority over Ertugrul, they enforce separate clans from his and therefore are relatively limited in terms of interfering in Ertugrul’s affairs.
** [[spoiler: Berke Khan, leader of the Golden Horde,]] becomes this at the end of season 5, leading the Muslims against [[spoiler: Hulagu Khan]] after Ertugrul forms an alliance with him.
* ''Series/StargateSG1'':
** For seasons 1-7, Major General George S. Hammond, commanding officer of Stargate Command. He was replaced for season eight by SG-1's commander Jack O'Neill, then Jack was PutOnABus and replaced with Maj. Gen. Hank Landry.
** On a galactic level the role falls to the ever-benevolent Asgard, and particularly their leader, Supreme Commander Thor. They try to help every planet to the best of their ability and become ''the'' most crucial allies to the humans of Earth, among other things, against the Goa'uld. Unfortunately their unparalleled technological prowess also makes them a massive StoryBreakerPower, so the ForeverWar against the Replicators was written, which is just about the only reason why they ''can't'' just wipe out the Goa'uld. All they could do was put several worlds (including Earth) under the Protected Planets Treaty with the Goa'uld which was basically a major bluff, as they didn't actually have the military power available to fight the Goa'uld if it came down to it. Despite that they are possibly the most inspirational race in the Franchise/StargateVerse and eventually even leave all their knowledge and technology to Earth as a final gift.
* In ''Series/StarTrekDeepSpaceNine'' as Gul Dukat asserts himself as the BigBad, Ben Sisko was brought up by The Prophets (who are usually unconcerned with mortal dealings) to become the ultimate force for good. It can be questioned [[GoodIsNotSoft how much Ben Sisko was the embodiment of good]]. He was an accessory to two murders of Garak's to trick the Romulans into the Dominion War, and he poisoned the atmosphere of a Maquis planet (warning the inhabitants and giving them enough time to evacuate) to defeat Michael Eddington's attempts to push the Maquis agenda. From a [[UsefulNotes/EthicalHedonism consequentialist]] perspective, those actions were clearly justified by the [[TheNeedsOfTheMany general good]], but a [[ForGreatJustice deontologist]] would say the actions were wrong on principle, no matter if they won the Dominion War and helped to defeat the Maquis.
* ''Franchise/SuperSentai'':
** The franchise as a whole has [=AkaRed=], the closest thing to a PhysicalGod Ranger. Though originally an OriginalGeneration character for ''[[Series/GoGoSentaiBoukenger Boukenger]] vs Super Sentai'', his role in ''[[Series/KaizokuSentaiGokaiger Gokaiger]]'' expanded him into this.
** [[Series/HimitsuSentaiGoranger Akarenger]] and [[Series/JAKQDengekitai Big One]] were the two leaders in the Legend War and in ''Gaoranger vs. Super Sentai'', the latter played this 100% straight.
* Scott [=McCall=] from ''Series/TeenWolf''. Not only is he the [[TheChosenOne "True Alpha"]] (which is a once-in-100-years-werewolf who becomes an Alpha or rises to Alpha status through the goodness and nobility of their character, their strength of will and without taking the power from other werewolves) along with being TheHero, TheLeader, TheHeart, a MagneticHero, an AllLovingHero, a HopeBringer, TheParagon, TheCape, and an IdealHero, but Scott has the [[TheFettered highest and strongest morals, values and ideals]] of any character on the show. Scott stands for [[EmbodimentOfVirtue heroism, justice, compassion, kindness]] and he is a natural-born [[TheLeader leader]] who inspires others to come together for a common purpose. He is also strongly opposed to [[ThouShallNotKill killing]], believes that every one can be saved somehow ([[SaveTheVillain including villains, such as Jackson as the Kanima and Deucalion, for example]]) and [[AllLovingHero he always tries to see the best in everyone, even his own enemies]]. He's also a MoralityPet or MoralityChain for Derek, Allison, Isaac and [[spoiler:[[BigBadFriend Stiles]] (after he is possessed by the Nogitsune)]] and had a strong influence on both Derek and Isaac [[TookALevelInKindness becoming much nicer, gentler and kinder in personality]].
* ''Series/TwinPeaks''' Gordon Cole seems to be this for the FBI characters, with elements of DaChief. Aptly, he is played by series co-creator (and frequent episode director) Creator/DavidLynch. There's also The Giant, aka The Fireman, a mysterious HumanoidAbomination that - particularly in the third series, ''The Return'' - seems to be this trope for the more supernatural characters on the show, although a lot of this is ambiguous.
* ''Franchise/UltraSeries'': The classic Showa universe has two: the Father of Ultra/[[SpellMyNameWithAnS Ultra Father]] and Ultraman King. The former is the Supreme Commander of the Space Garrison, so he's the guy who assigns Ultras to protect Earth or missions to other parts of the universe, while Ultraman King, although not actually the king of the Land of Light, is extremely respected amongst Ultras due to his PhysicalGod-level powers.
* ''Series/WhereInTheWorldIsCarmenSandiego'' has [[DaChief the Chief]] in opposition to the titular MasterThief.
** President David Palmer (Senator in the first season) in the early years. As the President of the United States, he's the guy coordianting all the efforts to stop whatever bad thing is going on, while [[TheHero Jack Bauer]] is the one in the trenches actually fighting the terrorists and stopping the nuke/virus/nerve gas/whatever. There's a relationship of complete and absolute trust that exists between him and Bauer; while other Presidents show up in later years, they're usually more of an ObstructiveBureaucrat (if not an outright PresidentEvil).
** President Allison Taylor fulfills this role in the final two seasons, a refreshing change from the incompetent, obstructive, or outright [[PresidentEvil evil]] presidents that followed Palmer. [[spoiler:At least until her FaceHeelTurn in late Season 8, though she manages to [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone pull herself back]] at the critical moment]].
** Bill Buchanan. During and right after his [[spoiler:pre-death, sacrificial HeelFaceTurn]], the trope also applies to [[spoiler:George Mason]] as well.
** President James Heller in "[[Series/TwentyFourLiveAnotherDay Live Another Day]]." Although he and Jack have previously butted heads and had their ideals clash in the past, he's more than willing to cooperative with him despite some misgivings, and is even ready to sacrifice himself if it can save everyone in London.
* Commander Adama from ''Series/BattlestarGalactica1978'' and his counterpart William Adama from [[Series/BattlestarGalactica2003 the new series]].
* ''Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer'':
** Subverted with Giles, who is nominally this but in practice tends to defer to Buffy. Also subverted in that the Watchers Council seems to see themselves as this and is indeed traditionally in charge of the Slayer's fight against evil (a tradition Buffy never follows), but they also use [[IDidWhatIHadToDo cruel methods]] like torture and [[SecretTestOfCharacter rendering Slayers defenseless before locking them up with a vampire]].
** A further subversion, emphasized in ''Series/{{Angel}}'', is that the celestial PowersThatBe share similar WellIntentionedExtremist flaws as the Watcher Council.
** The presence of a greater Big Good is implied in the Season 3 episode where the [[FinalBossPreview First Evil]] was introduced. Angel is DrivenToSuicide by the First Evil reminding him of every innocent life he's destroyed when evil. He attempts to commit suicide-by-sunrise, but fails because it suddenly clouds over and starts snowing just before the sun comes up. [[LawOfConservationOfDetail When they spent the entire episode complaining about the unseasonably warm and sunny weather they were getting that Christmas.]]
* ''Series/CarnivalRow'': Absalom Breakspear: as Chancellor of the Republic of the Burgue, he's the elected leader of the Republic and the highest politician. Though imperfect, he is fair and progressive.
* ''Series/DoctorWho'':
** The Doctor's name inspires hope in all that is good and terror in all that is evil. Where he goes, freedom (and [[StuffBlowingUp explosions]]) quickly follow. Frequently acknowledged as this, by friends ''and'' [[WorthyOpponent enemies]] alike.
--->'''The Master:''' A cosmos without the Doctor scarcely bears thinking about.
*** In [[Recap/DoctorWho2017CSTwiceUponATime "Twice Upon a Time"]], the First Doctor reveals that one of the reasons he left Gallifrey was to discover why good continuously wins out in the universe, even though by all logic evil has all the advantages. Bill Potts clearly finds it hilarious when she tells him that maybe "some bloke" is running around the universe, fixing things.
---->'''First Doctor:''' You've travelled with my future self, haven't you? Does he ever figure it out?\\
'''Bill:''' You know, I really don't think he does.
** [[Recap/DoctorWhoS30E17E18TheEndOfTime "The End of Time"]]: The Doctor and Wilf are assisted by a mysterious woman in white who keeps appearing to the latter as an apparition and giving him advice. She's eventually revealed to be [[spoiler:a Time Lady and one of only two members of the High Council to vote against Rassilon's [[ApocalypseHow reality-destroying]] plans]], but her ultimate identity remains unknown.
* Dr. Donald Anspaugh on ''Series/{{ER}}'', head of County General. In his first couple appearances he's actually implied to be a [[TyrantTakesTheHelm tyrant]], but after receiving a surprising amount of CharacterDevelopment in season 4, wherein he cares for his leukemia-stricken son and resists a buyout attempt by a [[CorruptCorporateExecutive sleazy drug company exec]], he stays firmly in this trope.
* ''Series/GameOfThrones'':
** Ned Stark to the North as a whole. Indeed, he's somehow referenced in almost every episode since his death.
** Jon indirectly becomes this to the entire series in Season 5 onward. Becoming the new Night's Commander, Jon is the one character acknowledging that the threat of the White Walkers far transcends the political fighting the rest of Westeros is engaged in. Stannis acknowledges this trait in Jon and even tries to recruit him in his campaign for the Iron Throne. He's the indisputable leader of "the living" after his coronation as the King in the North, in which he convinces the northern houses that the true enemy comes with the Winter storms. Depending on how accurate the prophecy of the Prince That Was Promised is, Jon may end up being the rebirth of the legendary hero Azor Ahai.
** Bran becomes the Three-Eyed-Raven, and will be the one to face the Night King when the time comes.
** Daenerys to her followers, since she is able to unite them and work together because they genuinely believe that she can make the world a better place and Tyrion fears that if she dies, everything will crumble to dust.
** Robert was the leader of the rebellion against the Mad King, which elevated him to King of Westeros. He commands the respect and loyalty of many people across Westeros and manages to achieve a delicate but peaceful balance of the Seven Kingdoms.
* Rebel/[[spoiler:Micah Sanders]] in Volume 4 of ''Series/{{Heroes}}''. Also, [[spoiler:Angela Petrelli]] in Volume 3, which is jarring because she and the Company had been portrayed as villains in the first two seasons. Richard Drucker, an opponent of the Company, served this role in the Season 2 graphic novels plotline, but had no role in the main show's plot and appeared to be killed by the Company after a couple of appearances. The Volume 4 graphic novels show that Rebel was inspired partially by Drucker's legacy, though.
* ''Franchise/KamenRider'':
** [[Series/KamenRider Takeshi Hongo/Kamen Rider #1]] (Hiroshi Fujioka) is the Big Good of the Showa Era and, to an extent, all Kamen Riders in general.
*** As the actor for [[Series/KamenRiderV3 Shiro Kazami/Kamen Rider V3]] (Hiroshi Miyauchi) proved easier to secure than Fujioka, V3 takes the lead when he returns in ''Series/KamenRiderX'', ''Series/KamenRiderSkyrider'', the ''Film/KamenRiderSuper1'' movie (voice only) and the ''Film/KamenRiderZX'' TV special, while Hongo appears either as StockFootage or a voice only FakeShemp. Even when Fujioka came BackForTheFinale in ''Series/KamenRiderStronger'', he was preceeded by Miyauchi as the first of the returning Riders.
** The Heisei Era doesn't really have a single unified leader, though [[Series/KamenRiderDecade Tsukasa Kadoya/Kamen Rider Decade]] probably comes closest thanks to his taking up the role of GuardianOfTheMultiverse. In ''Film/KamenRiderXSuperSentaiSuperHeroTaisen'' when Decade reverts to his original role as MultiversalConqueror and instigates a war with the Franchise/SuperSentai, the remaining heroes turn to Hongo for leadership. [[spoiler:Then it turns out that "Hongo" is actually Tsukasa in disguise. And ''then'' it turns out that Tsukasa is still a good guy and only pretended to be evil to lure out the real enemies]].
*** In individual Heisei series, the eponymous hero will typically act as this amongst the Kamen Rider ensembles.
* Jacob from ''Series/{{Lost}}''. Somewhat subverted in that he's a very "hands-off" kind of Big Good, doesn't put in any actual appearances until the final season, and he turns out to be a bit of a [[JerkassGods dick]]. The entire show was his giant SecretTestOfCharacter in order to find his replacement because he self-consciously realized he wasn't cut out for this whole PhysicalGod thing. [[spoiler:Accidentally turning your own brother into the ultimate incarnation of evil and the BigBad tends to do that to you]]. In the end, the best possible candidate ([[spoiler:Hurley]]) ends up succeeding him.
* ''Franchise/MetalHeroes'': Qom of the Galactic Union Patrol serves as the commander of ''Series/SpaceSheriffGavan'', ''Series/SpaceSheriffSharivan'' and ''Series/SpaceSheriffShaider''.
** By ''Series/SpaceSheriffGavanTheMovie'' and into ''Space Squad'', Retsu Ichijouji, the original Gavan, serves as this for the new Gavan and the next generation of Space Sheriffs.
* ''Series/PersonOfInterest'': The Machine combines this with DeusEstMachina and GodIsGood. It was designed to spy on the entire world in order to predict terrorist threats, with the side effect of also predicting all sorts of crimes irrelevant to national security. The protagonists work off this Irrelevant List to save the lives of common people. But as the show goes on, it becomes clear that the Machine is more alive than Harold pretends. It is a true AI, dedicated to nothing but protecting people. This especially becomes clear once it acquires an "analog interface" ([[spoiler:the hacker Root]]). She conveys the Machine's desire to protect anyone and everyone, to the point that she's not allowed to kill assassins coming to kill her. The Machine understands that sometimes its agents kill people, but never orders such things itself. In fact, a good number of problems arise because the Machine is [[HonorBeforeReason too good, refusing to allow innocents to be killed even for the sake of the entire world]].
-->'''The Machine:''' Trust in me. I am always watching.
* ''Franchise/PowerRangers'':
** Zordon from the first series up to ''Series/PowerRangersInSpace''.
*** After [[spoiler:Zordon's death]], Jason Lee Scott, the original Red Ranger and leader of the ''Series/MightyMorphinPowerRangers'', and Tommy Oliver, the original SixthRanger, Jason's successor as leader and Red Ranger himself in ''Series/PowerRangersZeo'' and ''Series/PowerRangersTurbo'', serve as this as the number of Ranger teams continue to grow: Tommy and Jason take the lead together in the MilestoneCelebration episode ''[[Series/PowerRangerWildForce Forever Red]]'', Tommy leads a new team in ''Series/PowerRangersDinoThunder'', where he is revealed to be keeping an archive of Ranger history, is said to be a "legend" at the academy ExtyYearsfromNow in ''Series/PowerRangersSPD'', leads the Legendary Battle in ''Series/PowerRangersSuperMegaforce'' and in ''[[Series/PowerRangersNinjaSteel Dimensions in Danger]]'' and is suggested to be the ancestor of future Rangers in ''Zeo''. Then Jason comes back for ''Series/PowerRangersBeastMorphers''.
** Supreme Commander Fowler/Doggie Cruger from ''Series/PowerRangersSPD''.
** Captain Logan [[spoiler:and Alex Drake]] from ''Series/PowerRangersTimeForce''.
** Captain William Mitchell from ''Series/PowerRangersLightspeedRescue''.
** Animus from ''Series/PowerRangersWildForce''.

** The Mystic Mother from ''Series/PowerRangersMysticForce'', [[spoiler:a famous villain and former BigBad after a HeelFaceTurn]].
** Andrew Hartford from ''Series/PowerRangersOperationOverdrive''.
** Gosei from ''Series/PowerRangersMegaforce''.
** Keeper from ''Series/PowerRangersDinoCharge''.
* Suleyman Shah, the chieftain of the Kayi clan, plays this role in ''Series/ResurrectionErtugrul'' [[spoiler: until he dies in the final moments of season 1, leaving his wife Hayme to take the position until sometime in season 2, when Ertugrul legally becomes the new head of the Kayis]].
** Korkut and Candar Beys (Seasons 2 and 3, respectively) are downplayed variants of this trope because although they have some seniority over Ertugrul, they enforce separate clans from his and therefore are relatively limited in terms of interfering in Ertugrul’s affairs.
** [[spoiler: Berke Khan, leader of the Golden Horde,]] becomes this at the end of season 5, leading the Muslims against [[spoiler: Hulagu Khan]] after Ertugrul forms an alliance with him.
* ''Series/StargateSG1'':
