People don't need heroes. It's a fact. People create heroes to inspire them to do good, or as an excuse not to try.

A hero is nothing but an ideal that people without power cling to. The reality is you'll either become a martyr for some cause, or an idol to be worshipped. Best case scenario is you're forgotten altogether

Do you know why I gave up? Why I quit being a hero? It's because evil. Always. Wins! Good is a candle that flickers in the dark. It may provide some warmth if your close, a beacon if you're farther away. But eventually it runs out of fuel, and then the darkness comes back. You can light it again, but by then you'd have already lost people to the cold.
