Traditionally, heroes are the backbone of a society. They sacrifice their health and well-being for the greater good. They are brave and courageous, always standing up for causes which few are willing to fight for. However, twisted heroes aren't necessarily fighting for the greater good but rather for results. They stand for power, strength, and most importantly, leadership. They are the definition of success and find it in many shapes and forms.

Why? Well, because he beats the students up. He doesn’t help them in any way, shape, or form. All he does in rule with an unjust system. That’s only twisted. But how can he not be the hero if he lead them to success through unruly actions? As stated before, he lead the class above all other class in projects and academics. In doing so, he lead with such power that it allowed for a biased ranking system of fighting, beating the students, and using his force to make himself look better than the rest. However, without him they were nothing.

For example, Alexander the Great. He was the king of Macedonia from 336-323 BCE. From the age of twenty, after the assassination of his father he took the throne and ruled over Macedonia. He found much success in conquering and his results of his invasions and land acquired were very promising to the views of power they had.

He also didn't govern any of his land. Many times whenever he conquered places he let their system of government remain. He showed unruly actions by allowing a differing systems of government to stay and conquering when he
