Erin, I was all excited to add Wolverine, but he doesn't have any divine aspects. Eh.
I want to torture you. I used to love it, and it's been a long time. I mean, the last time I tortured someone, they didn't even have chainsaws.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Deena, you know how I used to joke that Kara is the younger version of me? Perhaps it's not a joke. I need to send her a letter telling her that if she ever thinks about not doing her math homework for a year, just to see what happens, IT'S A BAD IDEA.
I'll second this suggestion, since I also did that experiment as a kid.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
God, maths homework was my favourite. What's with you people?

They don't have to hit ALL the characteristics.
Wolverine has "other" powers -- he's def superhuman.
His quest would be...finding out who changed him? I can't quite remember the X-Men reading I did in the 80's.
A student who was familiar with his mythos could do a pretty good comparision/contrast on him, esp. since Beowulf wanted to (a) protect people but mainly (b) establish his own rep as a mighty warrior.

finding out who changed him
This was my thinking. Finding who 'cursed' him is more to the point of what popped into my mind. It's a quest for revenge/redemption.

Actually for me it was often more than just math. I had an aversion to being forced to practice anything that I felt I already knew. This went double for having to write out spelling words every night if I already score 100 on the pre-test.

I'm not sure Coolio was all that heroic. Though Gangsta's Paradise does have superhuman powers of earworm.
