Abstract
Heroes seem to have a strong sense of morality, and they influence society by modeling how such morality should be applied in real-world scenarios. Research has shown that heroes embody and impact the moral ideals of a society. Heroes are regarded as public figures that the population can identify with whose accomplishments can be celebrated by all (Allison et al., 2019; Hoyt et al., 2020; Pretzinger, 1976).
