Personality

Hero was a genial, encouraging man who secretly supplied the first Wards team with video games and movies so that they could have an enjoyable pastime between their work as heroes and after school.<ref>Crushed 24.x (Interlude; Chevalier)</ref>

Riddled with health problems from an early age, Hero considered Cauldron heroes after the formula they gave him cured his illnesses.<ref name=":0" />

He had a leadership position in the early Protectorate, even though he believed that he would not be suited to one.<ref name="14.y">Interlude 14.5 (Bonus Interlude) </ref>

Abilities and Powers

Hero was considered to be the preeminent Tinker of his day. Hero's specialization was not known because he lived before Tinker specializations were considered, but Legend correctly theorized that Hero specialized in wavelength manipulation, similar to the stilling powers that Zion and Eden employed, with broad applications stemming from few restrictions on his shard.<ref>Reddit comment by Wildbow</ref>

His creations included a helmet-camera, a disintegration gun, a jetpack, sonic weapons, and small, surprisingly effective power sources and explosives.<ref name="14.y" />

History

Background

For much of his early life he was beset with terminal health problems such as organ problems, diabetes, tremors, and chronic headaches until an unmitigated Cauldron formula cured him of his illnesses.<ref name=":0">Interlude 29</ref>

Career

In 1988, Hero was introduced to Alexandria and agreed to her idea of forming a government-regulated superhero team with Cauldron's backing.

Hero was present when Behemoth emerged for the first time in 1992.

In 1993, he was sworn in alongside Alexandria, Legend, and Eidolon as one of the founding members of the Protectorate.

On September 15, 2000, Siberian bisected him in a confrontation between her and the Triumvirate. Eidolon attempted to heal Hero, but he ultimately died.<ref name="15.z">15.z (Donation Interlude 3; Alexandria)</ref>

Legacy

His loss splintered the Triumvirate, resulting in the members going their separate ways.<ref>Reddit comment by Wildbow</ref>

Hero remained in the public eye even after his death, recognized as both the first Tinker and one of the best. Because of this, other Tinkers, such as Kid Win, strived to emulate his model.<ref name="14.y" />
