Re: custombycrunch
You can hang the hero label on anyone you want, or even a sandwich, but in my opinion, being a hero involves taking great risk to accomplish some worthwhile noble deed. Maybe you don't have to risk your life but it has to be a substantial risk. So without Lex Luthor, superman wouldn't be a hero. But Haut's cleaning lady is. Climbing a tree to rescue a kitten might not make you a hero to America at large, but the kitten will always think of you as one.
