Amaterasu
In the comic book The Wicked + The Divine, every 90 years twelve random human beings turn into reincarnated gods and goddesses. Despite being immortal and having other god-powers, they all end up dead in two years. The series is written by Kieron Gillen, illustrated by Jamie McKelvie, and published by Image Comics.
Their purpose each go-round is to inspire humanity and fight off the Great Darkness. In the 2010s "Recurrence" (the term for their appearance) they all become pop stars.
Amaterasu was born Emily Greenaway and later went through a "druid-y stage" as Hazel Oak Ash Thorn Greenaway. She incarnated as the Shinto sun goddess Amaterasu at age 17. She can teleport and project solar energy.
