[UA] Jesus Christ, SuperAvatar!

At a minimum, Christ could be any one of the following archetypes -

The (Holy) Fool
The Martyr
The True King
The Sacrifice
The Prophet
The Judge
The Magician 
The Hermaphrodite ("There is neither Jew nor Greek, slave nor free, male
nor female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus." & some of the odder bits
of the Gospel of Thomas)
The Rebel

Perhaps in a UA Christocentric theology, he would be a living incarnation
of the Godhead, silmultaneously manifesting all and none of the
Archetypes that mankind will create.  Of course, this means that somewhere
in the Hidden/Lost/Dark/Satanic Gospels his role as War, Executioner, and
so on is recorded - or perhaps there's an Antichrist who manifests the
darker Archetypes.
