Which non-Star Wars character do you think would make the best Jedi?

The first character that popped into my head was Captain America. Steve Rogers, Captain America, that is. Nothing against Sam Wilson, but when you think of the embodiment of good, in the Marvel universe, at least, you think of Steve Rogers. While he would make a very good Jedi, the more I thought about it, the more I thought there might be another character who might be better.

Superman? Maybe, but he’s too powerful as it is. He doesn’t need the Force.

I tried to steer away from comic book characters and the first character that came to mind was from a series of novels that is… long. Very long. Right now, there are 39 books in the series, though I stopped reading halfway through the 35th. I may have grown bored with the series, but after some thought, I decided that the titular character of these books would be the best answer to this question. I’ve talked about these books a few times on this blog before. I am, of course, speaking about Drizzt Do’Urden from R.A. Salvatore’s Dark Elf series of novels.

Drizzt Do’Urden, for those of you who don’t know, is a drow (a race of dark skinned elves that live underground). It is a cruel and vicious race, whose deity rewards ruthlessness and treachery. Drizzt was raised in this environment but found himself constantly appalled by the things going around him. Finally fed up with their evil ways, he made his way to the surface where he became a ranger. In D&D worlds, rangers are protectors who usually have an affinity for animals. In the later books, he also began monk training.

The reason I think he’d make the best Jedi is because he already acts like one. The code he lives by is very similar to that of the Jedi.  He actively works to protect those around him, even those who hate him simply because of his race, and is constantly putting himself in danger to save lives.

What about you? Which non-Star Wars character do you think would make the best Jedi?
