Enter Atriox, who survived several dozen suicide missions in a row, thwarted his own execution, withstood the combined wrath of an intergalactic empire, trounced three Spartan-IIs simultaneously, and is now set to conquer the most important Forerunner installation in the galaxy. Yet it's unlikely that humanity has a monopoly on "abnormally lucky" individuals, and sooner or later there is bound to be an antagonist toting the same kind of good fortune which turned the Master Chief into a legend. note It's also a common theme in the Larry Niven novels which Halo borrows much of its inspiration from, i.e. Fridge Brilliance: The idea that some individuals are Born Lucky is a popular theory in the Halo universe in the novel Halo: The Fall of Reach and the intro to Halo 3, it's explicitly stated to be the attribute for which John 117 was selected to become a Spartan.
It helps he's completely different from almost all of his more bestial Brute kin. Evil Is Cool: Atriox completely embodies this trope, and he's been a fan favorite ever since the first trailer showed him curbstomping three Spartan-IIs.
