What is a Hero or Heroine and what is the definition?

A hero or heroine is......."A man or woman of distinguished courage or ability, admired for their brave deeds and noble qualities" or "A person who, in the opinion of others, has heroic qualities or has performed a heroic act and is regarded as a model or ideal".



Who is your hero or heroine? 
Who could it be? - Could it be your mother? Your sister? A famous person? or your neighbour?
For example:- My hero is intelligent, they are strong, wise and admired by all!! My heroine is thoughtful, helps people in poverty, lives life to the full and is always there for me. My hero makes me laugh, he fights bad people, he wears a cape and he looks great in red boots and blue nylon tights!!!!

If you could be a Superhero, who would it be and what would you fight?
Would you be Brave/Noble/Courageous and what qualities and super powers would you have?
