What is a hero? A hero is someone that people admire. In today's modern times, people hear the word hero all of the time.
In 19 centuries, it wasn't hard to be a heroin America. Getting a name of the hero is like working hard on the game or making money on business, or lack of something.
In American life history, we have seen a lot of heroes. There was a real hero. People who declare American Constitution are genuine heroes for the past, present, and future. The name of those people will stay forever. They fought for human being right, speech, equality, and democracy. Hero definition is different from one country to another country for example, the former Afghanistan government was believed that the terrorists who killed those innocent people are heroes.

The hero is always lonely he must let people thought that he can’t be defeated, so he must temper himself every day, must let him become more powerful. Because of these heroes exist so we can have faith to live, let the people exceeded the target.
The superheroes who are people wanted to be. In general, it`s a symbol of all heroes from ancient times to now. Another words, it`s bind their democracy, and equality on human being to those super heroes. However, we all know some superheroes in our mind, maybe they are not real exist, but they can inspire so many people. Superheroes are extraordinarily powerful people who have both strengths and weaknesses. They typically have superpowers--the ability to fly or to leap over tall buildings--or at least normal human abilities that they have developed to a superhuman level.
