Job is a myth, one that tells you that you must obey the Yahweh priesthood even though your life is shit.
And he didn't really overcome anything, Yahweh let Satan torture him for a while then he got bored and stopped. Then Yahweh gave Job back his wives and camels and everything else that shitskins praise.

Justinian II is pretty based. He was deposed, exiled and had his nose cut off, only to come back, reclaim his throne and take revenge on his adversaries.
