lol, of course, I like to write weak heroes, that doesn't mean I don't have a list of good ones. Still, this list is a bit of a hodge podge.

Found the list of bookmarked Wikipedia pages (gosh I have too many bookmarks. Ah, I swear there were more, but I must have lost them in the great bookmark purge. Eh, if they were any good then I would remember them):

Noah (Christian and Jewish myth, Ark guy)

Cain (Christian and Jewish myth, first murderer, just please no MEoDP, for the love of all that is decent in this world.)

Ferdiad (Celtic myth, Cu Culanins buddy and equal, had horny skin no weapon could pierce, died when forced to fight Culainin, who stuck his Gae Bolg up Ferdiad's anus. I really wish I could make that sound as sad as it must have been for poor Cu.)

Pecos Bill (American fakelore, rode a lion, ate dynamite, lassoed a tornado.)

John Henry (American Folk Tale, dug through a mountain and died of a heart attack.)

Guido Fawkes (Conspirator in the gunpowder plot due to his religious views, killed himself to avoid painful execution, had his face used (presumably ironically) by anons.)

Caenus (Greek myth, a lapith woman turned into a man after being violated by Posideon so he could fight the centaurs, had to be killed by being driven into the ground by timbers. Also had a role with the Argonauts.)

Koschei (Slavic folklore, hid his death in a needle in an egg in a duck in a hare in a chest under a tree on a magical disappearing island)

Culhwch (Welsh Arthurian myth, Culhwch and Olwen, completed a large series of tasks with the help King Arthurs court, eventually shaved and murdered his beloved's giant father to wind her hand in marriage.)

Pandora (Greek myth, Noble Phantasm would presumably be her Jar)

Lê Lợi (Vietnamese, "among the most famous figures of Vietnamese history and one of its greatest heroes", would wield Thuan Thien, which makes him grow and legitimises his rule, like Caliburn)

I honestly think my descriptions of these guys doesn't do them justice.

Based in Canon but still decent ideas:

An Assassin (not particularly hard, the NP is the main component. All it has to be is a body modification of some sort.)

A Robin Hood (most would be Archer, but I think there might be a depiction with a staff? The main goal would be being distinct from the one in Extra. Considering the many different Robin Hood depictions, this should not be hard.)

Saber Diarmuid (not sure what info could be gathered on his swords, though the idea interests me.)

Berserker Cu Culanin (Warp Spasm)

Hoping at least something here helps~
