Tom "Coors" Fallon. Senior at my school. Inside joke. In reality, probably Brian Wood, that designer from Relic who saved his family from a car crash by taking the impact full on with his side of the car. it killed him but saved his wife and their unborn son
Nobody in real life has had more of an impact on my life.
I could say things like my mom or my dad, but they have had their part in doing things that have truly screwed up my life. Clingy mom, relatively distant father(he's working on that these days, I guess it is because of the whole getting old thing.)
Stephen fry for me
that man knows everything
plus he's a writer, an actor, a presenter, a comedian, a director and a campaigner
and he's very good at all of them
plus for the awareness he's raised for manic-depression (or bi-polar) and for gay rights
and generally seems a modest, sweet and charming man
and for tghat reason he is my hero

I'm going to have to say that my heroes were always Ron Weasely, the 10th Doctor, and Gamers (all gamers!) were my childhood heroes, but recently I've added Scott Pilgrim and Yahtzee to that list.
I dont have a hero.
Im my own hero. Boy that comes out weird.
I look up to myself. When i get stuck, i ask, "WWMD?" ((my name is Markus if you didnt already know. But who doesnt!?!? IM SO POPULAR! /end sarcasum)) And then i sit, and think about how to handle the situation best.
Having a hero is to me, a sign of weakness. Im not saying it is, or that anyone is less of a man for it, but me personally. I think i can handle my situations better then others could. If i were taken to court, id ask to defend myself with the support of the lawyer. Because i think i could present my case better then him.

Ima gonna go with a man who in my own mind is still evil,
Vladamir Putin.
This guy was a spy, wrestled a tiger, rides around half naked, released his own judo instruction video and, when his spies were captured and deported back to Russia, he met them at the airport, where they got drunk and sang the theme to a 1960s saturday morning cartoon about spies.
The man is a bond villan mad flesh and put in charge of a country and while the rational part of my brain tells me that everything he does is bad, the child inside is clapping and shouting 'hooray!'

James Hetfield has probably been the one guy that's inspired me to continue with music over the years, he may not have the most amazing voice in the world, but it sure it recognisable.
The second person on my list is Henry Rollins. He's now a comedian, but back in the day he was a vicious punk rocker from Black Flag who didn't take crap from anyone. These days he passes on the wisdom he gained over that period of his life through lol's and srs. Go look up his videos on youtube, most of them are hilarious, and the other half are incredibly inspiring tales. Some of the stuff he has talked about made me rethink what I ate (I've cut down my meat intake to about 2-3 days a week), do more exercise (15 min run every day with my dog), and to be a better young person in society (ie. DON'T BE A DICK)
My Dad has also been inspiring over the years, and he has taught me quite a bit. He almost died at the age of 13 in an accident coming home on his bike and never misses an opportunity to show off his impossibly large scar from here his skull was busted open.

Harriet Tubman
300 people, including very small children led to freedom across hundreds of miles while being persued by the bad guys?
That equals hardcore, my friends.
And she was later a spy/scout for the Union Army.
Oh! And she accomplished all of this while still suffering debilitating damages from a head injury she had as a child. (Chronic headaches, seizures, narolepsy, etc.)

My older sister.
When pregnant with her second child, she developed preeclampsia and had to have the baby delivered 8 weeks early via c-section. Coincidentally, it was three days before she got married, on a Thursday.
On Saturday morning, three days after her C-section, my sister got married.
Just under a year later, she found out she was pregnant again. Doctors and our family warned her against it, since she had a bigger risk of getting full-on eclampsia this time. But she carried her baby until eleven weeks before her due date, and had a c-section the Sunday just gone. When removing the placenta, the doctors found that it was discoloured and infected. My sister had been in mind-blowing agony the last three months of her pregnancy and no one knew why.
It's Friday now. Not even a week after her op, and my sister is back at home.
And that, my friends, is why I consider my sister to be the ultimate badass.

Wow. Just wow. She deserves that title for sure.MonocleClaire said:
I have to say my Grandfather though. He was a good man. Owned a business by the time he was my age, fought in the Navy during the Spanish Civil War, was a P.O.W, brought and supported his family in a completely new country, well respected. He died when I was young and before I got the chance to know him. In a way, my biggest fear is that he may not have been proud of me or the decisions I've made or even if he approved of my life.
Got some dust in my eye.
In fiction mine would be Batman. Specifically Frank Miller's interpretation in Batman: Year One
Famous person-wise my big heroes would be Winston McCall from Parkway Drive
And Brian Fallon from The Gaslight Anthem
In real life, my dad for being a huge inspiration and my old English teacher for helping me see my potential and just for making literature fun and interesting

There are many people who I admire, but nobody has had such an influence on my life that I can go as far as saying that they are my hero.
Allan Alda better known as Hawkeye Pierce. And really the whole cast of M.A.S.H. Few years ago when this came to the History Channel I was in a deep depression. He taught me to laugh again, and to roll with whatever comes your way. If it wasn't for him and the M.A.S.H gang I would, lets say, be alot worse off these days.
My other "hero" is, now, Sergeant Pierre. Never knew his first name, and hes the only black man I've ever personally known.
He was my military instructor when I did a co-op through school with the army. He gave me the "Army" values, so to say, I'm a much stronger person because of him.
