This is a simple topic,


Or so it seems....
The question before you is this, WHO is the single best hero, Not strongest...

Not the fastest one
Not the strongest
Nor the smartest

But who best.... HERO
I don't give a damn which unverise you take them from, SCI-FI Anime

However Marvel and the Comics leave out for obvious reasons, We are not asking about super-heros, Rather who is the best HERO, Not superhero, not Galaticus uber power, just who is the best hero

By best I mean one who embodys the idea and concept of HERO the best


Open your mind and acutaly think about this one ladies and gents

The President of the United States of America, authorized by Act of Congress, March 3, 1863, has awarded in the name of The Congress the Medal of Honor to

SECOND LIEUTENANT
RUDOLPH B. DAVILA

UNITED STATES ARMY

Second Lieutenant Rudolph B. Davila distinguished himself by
extraordinary heroism in action on 28 May 1944, near Artena, Italy.
During the offensive that broke through the German mountain
strongholds surrounding the Anzio beachhead, (then) Staff Sergeant
Davila risked death to provide heavy weapons support for a
beleaguered rifle company. Caught on an exposed hillside by
heavy fire from a well-entrenched enemy force, his machine
gunners were reluctant to risk putting their guns into action.
Crawling 50 yards to the nearest machine gun, Staff Sergeant
Davila opened fire on the enemy. In order to observe the effect
of his fire, Sergeant Davila fired from the kneeling position
ignoring the enemy fire that struck his tripod and passed
between his legs. Ordering a gunner to take over, he crawled
forward to a vantage point and directed the firefight with hand
and arm signals until both hostile machine guns were silenced.
Bringing his three remaining machine guns into action, he drove
the enemy to a reserve position 200 yards to the rear. When
he received a painful wound in the leg, he dashed to a burned
tank and, despite the crash of bullets on the hull, engaged a
second enemy force from its turret. Dismounting, he advanced
130 yards in short rushes, crawled 20 yards and charged into
an enemy-held house to eliminate the defending force of five
with a hand grenade and rifle fire. Climbing to the attic,
he straddled a large shell hole in the wall and opened fire
on the enemy. Although the walls of the house were crumbling,
he continued to fire until he had destroyed two more machine
guns. His intrepid actions brought desperately needed heavy
weapons support to a hard-pressed rifle company and silenced four machine gunners, forcing the enemy to abandon their prepared
positions. Staff Sergeant Davila's extraordinary heroism and
devotion to duty are in keeping with the highest traditions of
military service and reflect great credit on him, his unit, and
the United States Army.

Jhonen Vasquez:
For Johnny the Homicidal Maniac
And Invader Zim

On a more serious note:
Shakespeare for much of our language and phrases, and for an excellent recreation of human nature.

The greatest fictional hero is probably Sir Lancelot.

In real life, I think that Werner Heisenburg is a great hero.
