All of my heroes from wrestling were actually heels, ended up being washed up, or are now dead. Jake The Snake Roberts & Kevin Nash come to mind. Mainly because Jake Roberts was my first Hero & Kevin Nash was my last. I started a PS Home Biker Gang & Clubhouse last month named "The Adams Family" in memory of the late Brian Adams, The Wrestler. It also is a reference to The Addams Family the Comics / TV Shows / Movies.
My Heroes in Animation Eek The Cat, Freakazoid, & Jay Sherman (The Critic) have been forgotten about.
My Heroes in Anime tend to be Adults. Motoko (Ghost In The Shell: Stand Alone Complex), Roger Smith (Big O), Scharzwald (Big O), & Vash The Stampede (Trigun) all come to mind at the moment.
My Heroes in Gaming all have had tragic ends. Duke Nukem's last game that took unfortunately Forever was pretty bad & not the way I wanted to remember him. Travis Touchdown (No More Heroes) won't be getting another game. Eddie Riggs (Brutal Legend) had a fun game that most people didn't like.
My Heroes in Comics have been ruined & or recently retconned. Deadpool's last comic series was horrible due to Danial Way's writing & was retconned last year. Lobo was also retconned (again) though his 90's retcon was better & sorry to say he's still barely used.
My Heroes in Movies when I still bought movies were Chev Chelios (Crank) & Mr. Smith (Shoot 'Em Up).
My Heroes in "furry fandom" don't stick out well enough.... unless we were to talk about villains.... In that case Rain Silves comes to mind....

Sorry some of these weren't from my childhood....
