The vibe, yes, but they don't have any form of innate magical ability whatsoever.

If they are stronger than the others, then why don't they deal more melee damage? Is the Mysterious Stranger, a female Hunter-like type, stronger than Lord Shaxx, a Titan literally a head taller than all the other Guardians? You keep talking about inspiration, but the inspiration doesn't actually change the lore, does it?

You don't really know what "iconic" means, do you? Please enlighten me how having the most screentime would make them iconic in any way. Because last I checked, the "iconic" Hunter would be the unnamed figure on the box art, not Cayde, who is in many ways quite different from most other Hunters in Destiny.

Oh, and the Vanguard aren't optional? Since when is the story mode any more mandatory than the Crucible? Not to mention that the Iron Lords are basically the epitome of the Guardians. There's no one more Titanly than Saladin.

Toland, Osiris, Dredgen Yor, Eriana-3, Felwinter, Efrideet... need I go on?
