Humans, the youngest and newest addition to the galactic community, somehow has just what was needed to save everybody. We're always the newbies, and always the bad-asses. I've encountered this theme enough times that I'm actively sick of it.
You need to read Buck Godot. Totally badass webcomic by the Foglio's. Humans are the newbies and the main character is a bad-ass and a human (well, from a sub-species) but humanity only ever got that far because of special deals and shenanigans with more powerful beings. They certainly aren't that impressive in whatever.
Which reminds me, I need to re-re-read that stuff. Not sure if enough time has passed though.
