Are there any earth guardians in mythology?

Question

I am writing a story and I want the strongest person to be a mythical earth protector. Now not the earth it’s self but say the earth picked one person to be its protector. Are there any being in mythology like that?

Answer 1

You have Attis, who was a Vegetation god, who originated in Asia Minor. He had a festival in the spring that had to do with death and resurection. He was Cybele's consort, who is also a Earth deity. Unfortunatly for you, most Earth deities are female.

Answer 2

In American mythology, the Earth protector is known as George W. Bush.
