 Chu Chulainn and Jesus
Cu grew up to be the mightiest warrior for King Conchobhar of Ulaid, which is usually translated as 'Ulster' (while not corresponding 100%, it was the historical basis for what later became Ulster).
Cu could work what I guess Graves might call "miracles", although they were almost all of martial type: he could run along the blade of a sword, for instance, or throw a spear so hard it could pierce a tree as well as a man hiding behind the tree; that sort of thing.
There's a great statue of the dying Cu in Dublin's General Post Office (GPO), which was the rebels' headquarters during the 1916 Easter Rising which more-or- less led to the final successful secession of most of Ireland from the UK.
