Captain planet (he's our hero) (gonna take pollution down to zero)!
We could really, really use an environmentalist power that isn't beholden to any nation or company.

Oh that's not fair, Leslie Knope is the public servant we all deserve.
I'll throw in a few.
I want Dr. Cox and JD to be my medical team, the two of them would do everything they could.
I want my local burger shop to be Bob's.
And I wish Captain Holt was a real police commissioner.
I would not wish reality on bob.

Vaporeon.
Whelp, that's my internet quota for the day.
God.
... the good and forgiving one. Not the other.
Robin Hood, but modernized as a 21st-century hacker type so that he can cope in today's world. But I'd still like him to look like he belongs in an edgy 90s movie, complete with green tights, for authenticity's sake.

The Doctor from Doctor Who. It'd be nice to think we were all being simultaneously respected, cared for, and defended by someone smarter and kinder than most of us.
While a good choice, I don't feel warm and fuzzy about the prospect of being turned into some horror creature goop because I happened to walk down the wrong alley.

Robin Hood.
Dwayne Elizondo Mountain Dew Herbert Camacho
Say what you will about Idiocracy, but President Camacho knew his country was suffering a problem and he found the smartest man in the world, hired him, and put him to work to resolve it. If only we could get Trump to care this much.

If we're going for authoritarianism, at least let's have someone competent in charge.

Superman bc he was created originally to fight Nazis.
I am not too deep into the lore of Superman, but is it possible that you mean Captain America? Or is there something about Superman and nazis?

The Vision.
Indestructible, level-headed, compassionate mind-reader? All the world's big problems would be solved overnight.
(Assuming no Corvus Glaive)
Samuel Vimes commander of the Ankh-Morpork city watch (and Detritus so people have no choice but to do as he says).

The Great Sage, Heaven's Equal, the handsome monkey king Sun Wukong.
Not sure he'd care to fix things, but it would be different if there was a benevolent unbeatable power in the world.
Superman.
Yeah, that’s an obvious choice, but I like his character more than his superpowers. He’s civil and polite to various world governments, but ultimately, there’s no stopping him from doing the right thing.
If he’s too powerful and that’s a negative to you, substitute Captain America. The same reasoning applies.

My Canadian girlfriend.
Is there a fictional character that kills billionaires? If so then that one.
The thing. Indiscriminately.
In fact I think this may have already happened.
It's in charge. And a billionaire.

Lieutenant Commander Data.
God.
Specifically the version of God that is simultaneously all good, all knowing, and all powerful.
Were our universe created by such a being, evil could not exist: our reality would be very, very, very different compared to the dumpster fire that we all get to experience.
