I think you need to start by having a common definition of "Hero" as "Hero" means different things to different people.

I'm interested in what everyone's idea of "hero" is. Tell me how you define it.

Here's what the dictionary said:

Hero - a man distinguished by courage or ability, admired for brave deeds and noble qualities.


I guess for me, a hero would be someone who places his own needs and safety second, in order to make considerable sacrifies for the good of others. However, being paid to do something sort of negates the "hero" aspect for me, as does parenting. What I mean is a parent ought to sacrifice and protect her kids, this should not be thought of as heroic. Likewise, a doctor ought to help try to heal patients. This is not heroic either.
