Imagine a man walking down the street suddenly getting robbed. The man who is pickpocketed will certainly detest such injustice and gain the sympathy of society.

When I think of a hero I initially think of the known superheroes, such as spider man, super man, bat man, the flash, cat woman and the green lantern.
