A hero must prove himself and according to the storybooks he does that by fighting dragons and arch villains, but then those are only imaginary heroes.
What about the real ones? Those who begin life conquering impossible foes like dyslexia and attention deficit disorders? Those children who appear to be lazy and negligent but are really working ten times harder than the average child for half the recognition, or achievement? What about those children who survive incredibly abusive step parents and still manage to get good grades and go on through high school to graduate? Sometimes they are even the ones who discover they are not run of the mill gender specific kids who then have to face society's condemnation and misunderstanding too. How about these same kids who sometimes manage not only to make it through college but get advanced degrees?
These children, who have never had it easy, tend to be some of the sweetest ones around and they turn into teachers of the highest sort.
These are the real superheroes in my opinion.
