[QUOTE="Arrgh! Mark!, post: 2293722, member: 14559"] What makes those men heroic is not the fact they do a good action, or have a good intention. You mistake being "Good" as being a hero. I do not deny superman is "Good". I deny that he is a hero. Being a hero requires sacrifice. If there isn't sacrifice, it is simply being good. It's not actually hard for Superman to do what he does. He does not sacrifice anything; he doesn't have the ability to sacrifice. Superman doesn't have fear for himself; hence he isn't actually courageous. He can't be a hero. Although I do say that he becomes a hero when he actually does sacrifice his life. Now, those police and things you mentioned are heroes, because they act in adversity. Superman doesn't have such adversity (or danger.) He would do what any good person would do given supermans powers. Unless you wish to deny that heroism needs sacrifice, I'm fairly certain my argument isn't too silly. :D [/QUOTE]
