In the last seconds remaining, he swooped and saved the pretty girl from falling off the edge of the tallest building in the world. The masked figure accomplished this goal before rushing towards the destroyed urban city; he continued forward, fully aware, relentless, and unaffected.

A hero can be the one who saves a specific spot or place where there are a lot of people in the area during an attack or something. What makes a hero is the bravery and the intelligence of one person for themselves or others. First, It takes a brave hero to do tiring things in a rough situation.
