Superhero

A Superhero, also called, the good guy, protagonist, savior, good samaritan, or just plain, "The Hero or Hero," is someone fights for what they know in their heart is right, someone who follows the law, or at least tries to. The hero will also usually fight for the health and safety of people everywhere and strive for it. They stand for love, justice, friendship, and peace. A hero is the complete opposite of a Supervillain, and a symbol of Hope, nor do they ask for anything in return (at least in most cases). A hero can also be a vigilante and antihero at the same time, a classic example of a vigilante, is Batman in DC Comics, since he saves people while at the same time takes maters into his own hands and is always on the run from the authorities. If a female is a hero she will be referred to as a Superheroine or heroine, but in most cases she is just simply called a hero or good samaritan.
