Baphomet
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.
Baphomet was born Cameron and was in a relationship at college with The Morrigan before they incarnated. He is actually the Mesopotamian god Nergal, but he tells everyone he's Baphomet, because he thinks that's a much cooler god. Poser.
