Data as Faustian Hero?

In Star Trek: The Next Generation, there is a character who is an android but who constantly strives to be human.  Here are two clips that show characteristics that make him seem like a Faustian hero.

First, we have a scene where Data has recently acquired the capacity for emotion, and he seems to revel in his worldly experiences.

Second, we have a scene where Data expresses commitment to constant striving.

Each scene provides insight into the characteristics that Data has that seem to make him similar to Faust.  What other pop culture heroes (or villains) seem to represent a kind of Faustian hero?
