Do You Have What It Takes To Be A Hero...REALLY??

We all know the underlying theme of superhero comics: extraordinary people thrust into extraordinary situations trying to bring truth and justice to an often times deceptive and unjust world. We know the famous quote from Spider-Man: With Great Power Comes GREAT Responsibility. But do we really need to be bit by radioactive spiders to do great things? Being alive in itself could be considered a great power. "A day above the ground..." 
 
       If the opportunity arose to do something good for a random person that you saw in need,knowing that there may be no fame or notoriety as a result of your selfless act, would you do it? In fact, could you act courageously, in an attempt to do a good deed, knowing it might end in the loss of your own life. And finally, as you lie dieing, as people pass you in the street, and no one, not even the person you saved, comes to help you, would you stop to regret what you've attempted to do: bring a bit of good to an evil world? That is what happened to a New Yorker in Queens in an article released last year. I saw this article in my timeline on Facebook. Brought to my attention from the good folks at Superherostuff.com.  
 
For your consideration:   Stabbed hero dies as more than 20 people stroll past him  

So hows 'bout it--do you have what it takes to be a real life hero?

I have it in me to do good things, but I don't know if I have it in me to be a "hero". 

 I have what it takes to be a real badass villain. 
 
Hero, meh.

Absolutely not.

No idea.

" I have it in me to do good things, but I don't know if I have it in me to be a "hero".  "

I have what it takes to be a normal citizen. Nothing more.

some people will say they do have it in them and others will say they dont but i think no one really knows until the opertunity presents its self. Me, I wouldn't say I'm a hero but I have done whats needed to be done before so I would do it again.

I think everyone has the abilty to be a hero , it just depends on circumstance and  behaviour at thoose specific moments in time. Have i done some heroic things sure , but so have many people and whats to say that one deed is better than another unless its on a very grand scale.

No, but I could always become the villain.

Thanks for participating,guys.

I have what it takes to be a decent person. Does that count for anything?

....I doubt it lol if I freak out with spiders... I doubt I can stand up to a man with a gun xD

Without reading the OP or any other posts I can give my answer.
 
Nope. :P

" I have it in me to do good things, but I don't know if I have it in me to be a "hero".  "

" Absolutely. "

Reading that article makes me mad. 
Where the hell was the woman that he saved? You would think that she would call the police or something. 
 
I couldn't be a hero. The urge to cause mischief and mayhem would be too much. 
I'm also petty, violent and emotional.
