A Street Wise Hercules

A hero is different in every body's eyes. They can range anywhere from Hercules, Pecos Bill and King Arthur to everyday firefighters and police officers. They can even be as simple as the main character of the story or a person's mother. To me however they must be smart. No matter how strong you are if you can't strategize you are useless. A hero must be skilled in fighting and/or contending as well. Brains cannot get you everywhere in life, if you are unable to defend yourself in someway you cannot be a hero. A hero fights for others, not for the glory or fame. Heroes and heroins are somebody you can look up to. Someone that will never shy away from danger or back down from a fight. Heroes are people that can perform amazing feats. Whether it be caused by a simple illusion, good connections, or a real power. Heroes are people who stand out in a crowded room. They should have a certain charisma about them, they should be captivating. They should have all the traits of a great leader, they should be able to take control in a crisis. Heroes and heroins above all else must care more about others than their own life. This is what a hero is to me.
