Technically a game character, but because this series also had some animated projects, I'm counting him.

Son of the legendary dark knight Sparda who decided to live in the human world and start a company called "Devil May Cry" to fight other demons of his kind that abuse their power to hurt innocent people and find the demons that killed his mother.

Harold Cooplowski is a Jersey guy who loves tinkering with cars, playing videogames and humiliating his adversaries in eating contests. But one fateful day, he stumbled upon a giant robot from the future. Because the robot was so busted, Coop decided to rebuild the robot into his image and rewire the controls so it would work like a hybrid of a car and a game console.

Yamcha used to be a dessert bandit with some reputation. Early on in the series he's shown to be somewhat of a threat by beating Goku in their first bout. But as the series progresses, he becomes an ally to Goku and Bulma in their search for the Dragonballs and dedicates himself to his Martial arts. The last time he was known to be active as a fighter was during the Cell saga.

Even though Yamcha's abilities dwarf in comparison with the Saiyans and other threats, he was still one of the strongest earthlings around with the guts to step up when he was needed. His character growth from bandit with girl issues to a generally good guy shows that even people with a rough background are still capable of turning over a new leaf.

In a world where there is spontaneous human combustion that turns you into flame demons, you'd think that all the captains of the Special Fire Force would have some pyrokinetic abilities. But Ōbi is among the only few insanely strong people who can hold is own against infernals.

Anyone who saw/read One Punch Man knows of the many terrifying monsters that world inhabits and the many professional heroes that are at the ready to combat these things. But out of all those possibilities, including the caped baldy, I choose a powerless guy that rides on the scene on a bike in a leather cycling outfit.

Ikebukuro has many strange figures with a reputation. This bodyguard looking like a bartender is one of them. He doesn't prefer to use violence. But when he snaps, he would literally throw a vending machine at you with his unrestrained strength.

Though assumedly emotionally scarred for life for the atrocities he has witnessed and committed in the Ishval civil war, the Strong Arm Alchemist still tries to atone for his sins by becoming what he wants the state alchemists to truly represent.

He has become a true man of honor, a protective figure of the young and innocent, and gained a physical figure that commands respect among anyone who knows of diligent training. Combined with his power to transmute stone while fighting, this man is both someone to love (back) and to fear in combat.
