I gotta say Waylander the slayer from the gemmell books. I fkin love to read his adventures, and his crossbow is made of awesome.
My biggest hero is my grandfather. The man is eighty-six years old and he's more spry than me, my mom, and my dad all put together. He's one of the friendliest people you would ever meet. He knows everyone in the town he lives in. He actually goes to the retirement home to help people twenty years younger than him.
I went to visit my grandparents on the weekend because he was in the hospital with a blood clot in his leg. It really showed him that he's not really as young as he thinks he is. Everyone in our family has been trying to convince them to move to the closest major city to where they live for a number of reasons, and I think this may finally change his mind.

He's basically the God of Mounatin Biking, currently ranked number 2 or 3 (i forget) in the world. He took his first championship in 1993, been World cup champion 3 times, won the Lisboa downhill, the Mega Avalanche, the British Championship 7 times and the British NPS 7 times too. He's won titles in Cross country, downhill and 4-cross, making him one of the best all round riders to have ever lived.
On top of that he's done it all despite one of his best friends (Jason McCroy) being killed just as the two of them made it big. He's also responsile for getting most of the current Pro-downhillers in the uk sponsorship, training and advice, as well as leading the Orange MTB team to a whole bunch of championships. He's also a really, really nice bloke.
All in all a good person for a role model.

Issac Kleiner: Holy Crap that guy's a genius! Being a master of mechanical engineering and Revolutionary of Quantum Physics, who wouldn't? He even made the cover of 'Popular Scientist' once, back when he had hair.
And I've always thought awesome of Rev. David Wilkerson.

Melody Carlson.
More specifically, her characters she creates in her books.
Chloe Miller, Caitlyn Gregory Miller, Kim Peterson.
Yeah, I know I'm a guy, but it's not bad to have female heros.

My high school Drama teacher- not only has she spurred my love of Theatre, she also gave me the chance to teach as her Student Aide, taught me to drive while we worked at the Boy Scout Day Camp together, and was a close friend when I thought I had none. She's definitely the reason I am who I am today.
She also help a lot of kids in the high school with personal and academic problems; she's set a few kids back on track after they'd strayed far from it. She can barely even write legibly, but the difference shes made in other peoples' lives has been absolutely astounding.

I would have to say Martin Luther King. I should think that that is(hopefully)every young black persons hero. Obviously not their only hero but without him I doubt I nor my parents would have the lives we do now, they ain't perfect but they're far better off than what they could have been had it not been for him.

What that guy can do with a guitar with three strings is bloody brilliant.
EDIT: only because I wish I could play guitar like him. I do not have any heroes I would like to emulate in their entirety.

Bill Hicks. Probably the most honest comedian on earth with some of the most intelligent and thought provoking comedy I've ever heard.
"You know, I was playing a gig in the South one time and just after I'd finished my set this bunch of hillbillies came up to me and said-
'Hey Buddy, C'mere! We're Christians and we don't like all those things that you said in there!'
So I said 'Well, forgive me!'
RIP Bill.
