Perhaps Hanso has become a messianic figure in his own mind, and the Dharma Initiative is an effort to recreate mankind "in his own image." (Food for thought). Or one of Hanso's partners has placed himself in Jacob's role (messianic idea again, just using a different person).
Also, the phrase "great man," has been turning up. Desmond's girlfriend's father, Widmore, used it describing the McCrutchens whiskey, and how Desmond would never be "a great man." Mikhail says their
real leader is "a great man." Ben even told Jack and Locke (when he was their prisoner in the Hatch) that the leader of the Others was a "great man, but cold and unforgiving as well." (I think that's what he said, I'm paraphrasing here).
