I've been trying for days but I just can't think of anyone I would consider my hero. Do you have one, real or not?

Do Optimus Prime and King Arthur count?

If not, there's this boxer called First Last that I really like. He looks a lot like me. Also, he's only on my Fight Night profile.

So you removed my poster from your wall? ;_;

I don't have a hero, I think. Zakk Wylde is probably the closest thing to that. And he looks like f*cking Thor, too. Awesome dude.

It's a close one between Isaac Newton, Charles Darwin, Thomas Jefferson, and Boba Fett.

I think the rocketpack tips it to Fett.

My father...

Back in 1985 he and my uncle decided it would be cool to navigate the Canadian Northwest Territories by canoe...The entire trip took 3 months from start to finish and they packed up everything they needed and took a train to the drop off point in the middle of nowhere...According to my father, around day three they stopped to make camp and do some steelhead fishing to catch supper...Apparently the river was quite fast at that particular point and swept his legs out causing him to slam against an underwater rock and breaking his big toe...Even though their trip involved a lot of hiking, and even some carrying of the canoes and all of the gear over small mountain ranges he never quit (my uncle says he never even mentioned his toe), and they even finished the trip a couple days early...

Years later in the mid 90's, he was in the middle of chopping down about a 80 ft tree (w/out a hard hat) for firewood, one of the top limbs broke off and hit him in the head causing a concussion and some serious bleeding...He woke up, dusted himself off and drove himself to the hospital 20 minutes away; once he walked into the emergency room he mumbled, pointed to his bloody head and collapsed...

Last summer my father was hit by a car going over 60 mph while on his bicycle (again no helmet)...I talked to him that night on the phone concerned about his health; all he was doing was complaining about the Poison Ivey he had all over his body...Apparently the force of the impact threw him about 20 ft and caused him to land in a big patch of it...All he kept saying was "yeah I'm lucky; but man, the itching is unbearable"...

That's my dad, my hero....

When I was still in school, Arnold Schwarzenegger was my hero. Lame, I know. However, considering that he has risen to the top of 3 separate and unrelated career fields, I think I picked the right guy.

Now that I'm older, I understand that people have flaws, and I don't have heroes as much as people I admire.

We shall grapple with the ineffable, and see if we may not eff it after all.

It's a toss up between Hulk Hogan and The Ultimate Warrior, but if I had to pick one I'd probably say the Hulkster.

Certainly had a lot of people I admire (my parents topping the list), but no one I would call my hero.

Because Brennil's avatar showed up, I guess I now have to say that Inara's my hero (in the gender neutral sense).

She's the wind beneath my wings and other parts.

My brother is pretty awesome. Hes taught me a lot. And when I say a lot, I mean A LOT! He taught me how to walk(correctly). He is always cool and the worst situations and makes the best of everything. Yea. My brother is my hero.

Always a good skill to learn. The key is to purposely try to weave, thus making yourself walk straight.
