We need heroes. We need someone who in times of danger, famine, war or violence will make us feel that there is still justice in the world. We obsess over Superman, Spiderman, Ironman and we are besotted with the idea that under the disguise of an exceptional, strong and a man of unsurpassed abilities there's a plain guy: a little bit geeky, unlucky in love, abandoned by parents. Such a deprived hero is like one of us: born not into wealthy families but into circumstances we can feel attached to. Harry Potter was an ordinary boy who found out that he's extraordinary. Jesus lived not in a palace but in an ordinary house with an ordinary family. We still need to feel that there's someone in control, that the good will always win and the evil will be defeated. And a hero might be an ordinary guy trying to do some good.
