Perhaps the most obvious among our choices, Neo possesses a name that is an anagram for "One." From his humble beginnings as computer programmer Thomas A. Anderson, Neo gradually becomes privy to the frightening truth: Humans have been enslaved in a virtual reality called the Matrix by machines, and those who have escaped have started a seemingly futile resistance. Neo learns kung fu, bullet-time, and dual-wielding guns under the guidance of Morpheus, who considers him to be "The One," the human with the power to manipulate the Matrix and end the war as foretold by the Oracle.
Over the course of three movies, we see Neo die and resurrect himself in Christ-like fashion, become near-invulnerable by his ability to read the code of the Matrix, negotiate a truce with the Machines in return for the agent-turned-virus Smith's destruction, and sacrifice himself in order to save humankind. His powers extend beyond the Matrix, as by the third film he is able to see everything, even in the real world, connected to the Source. The peace he creates does not last forever, however, as creators continued to squeeze the franchise for money in The Matrix Online. The game was shut down due to low sales before the end, but according to the Sony forums, the planned conclusion would indeed have meant peace between humans and machines, meaning that Neo ultimately did succeed in fulfilling his foretold Destiny.
