To me personally a hero is someone who does the right thing or makes the world a better place no matter what popular beliefs are. Anyone can be a hero as long as you can do the right thing no matter what. I believe that Charles Darwin, Vic Fuentes, and Deadpool are all heroes. They have all changed the world for the better weather its from changing the field of biology or just changing what it means to be a hero through comic books and movies, or even just providing comfort to millions of people.

I chose Charles Darwin as my historical hero, because he revolutionized the way people see the world with his theory of natural selection as the means of evolution. His book “The Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection,” he published on …show more content…

This fictional hero is a former secret ops operative. Then after that before he had gotten his super powers he was a mercenary for hire. The main thing that makes him a hero to me is that he fights for what is right to him, and he will do anything to make it so, no matter how many people he has to kill or upset. What happens to him to cause him to do any of this is the simple fact of him having cancer, and receives a treatment that cures the cancer but leaves him with superhero regeneration powers and a messed up face.The main quote I would like to use for my research is “Wilson is out for blood and wants Ajax/ “what's my name” ‘Francis’ to ‘cure’ him so he can live happily ever after with Vanessa.” He is in my personal opinion one of the greatest heroes of all …show more content…

He is the lead singer of the alternative rock band “Pierce the Veil.” He's also the band's primary songwriter. Vic and his band, “Pierce the Veil”, tours around the world performing at many concerts with their life changing music. What makes him a hero in my opinion is that he actually pays attention to his fans and gives them advice. He’s so passionate about his fan base that if he meets someone at his concert that has scars from self harm he will personally pull them aside and try to help them and talk to them about it. Being a musician is his passion he doesn't just perform for the money, but to put quality music out into the world that people can relate to. I think the best quote from my research that amplifies the point that he cares about the music he creates is, “Vic Fuentes admits to being very meticulous when it comes to recording vocals for songs and has been known to do takes of the songs hundreds of times.”

As I have defined earlier, a hero is someone who does the right thing or makes the world a better place for most. I believe these great men have exemplified this meaning more than anyone else I can think of, more than the millions of people I could have chosen from. They have make this world a little less terrible than it is normally. My only question to you is what being a hero means to you? Be sure you think about

    A person who overcomes antagonistic and unnecessary issues in a mature and powering manor. That is the definition of a hero to me. Someone who is being hurt and sees others hurt from the actions and takes charge and does everything in his power to change it. Someone who puts others before themselves and acts in the most chivalrous way. The definition of a hero is different for everyone. Some one might think of a hero as someone who can lift a car and put it on their back, or gives a dying person their kidney. Yes all of those people are forms of hero’s. You can’t tell someone that they are not a hero just because they don’t change into a disguise in a telephone both or can throw lightning bolts from a cloud. Everyone is a hero in their own way.

    Dictionaries’ definitions of the word hero are exceedingly vague. A standard dictionary limits the definition of a hero to, “a man of distinguished courage or ability, admired for his brave deeds and noble qualities” (Dictionary.com). Heroes are people, not just men, who are generous, courageous, and take every event as part of the whole stream of life rather than as a critical moment. Humanity, endurance, and perseverance are other critical characteristics of a deserving candidate for such a title.

When the word hero is brought up, the most prevailing image that comes to mind is superheroes like Batman and Superman. But I don’t think you have to have superpowers or even be well known in order to be a hero. There are people all over the world whose intention is to do selfless deeds and go out of their way for others without expectation of obtaining anything in return. These are the type of people I like to consider everyday heroes. They go through life just trying to be the best they can and trying to help as many people as they can. Whether

Charles Darwin had looked into the eye of the storm, and found something revolutionary. His research has changed and reshaped science in it’s own very existence; changing how scientists see their works. Charles created a new way of thinking, and proven that there is always an alternate reason why something is the way it is, and how it became that way, not to mention he constructed against religion that proves itself to be wrong. Everything has a reason, and evolution has made that reason clear to us, through Darwin’s works.”Charles Darwin is best known for his work as a naturalist, developing a theory of evolution to explain biological change.”
