Date: 2025-04-16 04:41 am (UTC)Adrian Veidt pursues a plan to save the world with single-minded determination in Watchmen, and an array of mundane to insanely powerful superheroes are unable to stop him. Whether it actually worked is left as an exercise for the reader.
Severian the Lame, to use his most homely title, embarks on a voyage to save the world if he can in The Urth of the New Sun. His mission is a success, even if it's considerably more disruptive than the end of any of the ages of Middle Earth. How much agency he has in any of this is open to question, but he fulfills his role with his eyes open.
