Category:Heroes

A hero (masculine or gender-neutral) or heroine (feminine) is a person or character who, in the face of danger and adversity or from a position of weakness, displays courage or self-sacrifice—that is, heroism—for some greater good. Historically, the first heroes displayed courage or excellence as warriors. The word's meaning was later extended to include moral excellence.

The word can be used as a gender-neutral term for both males and females[1] because it has no gender-specific suffix in English.
