Doc Brown because he wasn't the main character and maybe it's my own perception, but I don't think many know him by name. Back when I did Google Trends statistics (like in 2014), I'm pretty sure Doc Brown was among the top 5 or so least googled ERB characters.

Master Chief because if they hadn't used him, the only game character they would have used would be the Mario brothers. So if somebody suggested Master Chief today, I think many would be skeptical at his inclusion in ERB. It would be mostly uncharted territory for ERB, and Master Chief is a big step down from Mario.

I left off Shake Zulu, Leonidas, Rasputin, William Wallace and even Julia Child because they all have that historical aspect to them. If ERB hadn't used Leonidas, you could point to Shaka, Rasputin and William Wallace as evidence that he was worthy for being a person of historical importance, even if he isn't known by name.
