3. Kal-El / Steve Rogers - I'm lumping both of these to fine fellows together because they both embodied the same ideals of loyalty, Patrotism, and doing right for everyone in their guises of Superman and Captain America.
   


4. Severus Snape - The character willing put up with being one of the most hated characters in history.
