In the earlier years, heroes are typically described by people with immense strength, immortal lives, and superhuman capabilities. As seen in some comics, heroes like Superman, Batman, etc., are the world's most famous heroes known. Why are they called heroes anyway? They are called heroes because they did great things for the sake of the good of other people.
But in the present generation, the qualities of a TRUE hero are possessed by mere ordinary people. Our National heroes like Dr. Jose Rizal, Andres Bonifacio, etc. didn't have powers like superhuman strength, Godspeed, etc. but they still were called heroes by people. That's because they had the guts to do something good to actually change the nation(if not the world) into a better place for us to live.
For me, my parents alone are the best heroes I've seen in my whole life. Yes, they have no super powers but they sure had the goodness that molded me into what I am today. If not because of them, no 'Jhed' is here today, and maybe many other people. I also consider our teachers hero because of their patience that is beyond their maximum and their unconditional love for us.
The qualities of a typical hero maybe had been changed through the years, but the trues meaning of a hero will remain as a person who has the wisdom and the maturity to use the power wisely. From an acting point of view. modern-day heroes maybe physically inferior than the heroes we see in comics or movies, but their immense will to make a good change cannot be matched by even superheroes with those super powers. And that's how I take what a modern-day hero is.
