Who do you think is the real champion, Angel or Spike?
I love Angel, very much, but in this case I believe it's Spike.
Even when Spike had no soul he was still capable of being a good person. He still fell in love with a girl who was human and he went looking for his soul.
When Angel was soulless he was pure evil to the core. He could care less about anyone. He would laugh as someone died.
I realize that Angel while ensouled was a good man. He helped the helpless (and charged low 'rats') as much as he could.
But Spike helped even when he was soulless. He did have a chip yes, but he could have made the choice to still be bad, forget the innocent and move on and cry in his crypt. He didn't. He fell for a girl, and he helped. If it was possible with Buffy it could have been possible with another.
This is a guy who when soulless went looking for his soul. Angel would never have done that. He loved having no soul. He loved being bad.
I think that Spike was the true champion of the people. Soulful and soulless.
