Martin Luther

It probably wouldn't have made that much of a difference. He wasn't the only person who was criticising the church at the time, and a lot of what he argued had been brought up a century before by Jan Hus. The major factors that played a role in his rise to prominence had more to do with the rise of the printing press that enabled the widespread propagation of radical ideas, and the support of his patron the Elector of Saxony. Sooner or later things were going to come to ahead.
Before Hus there was John Wicliffe and the Lollards.
