From Zero to Hero

"Working hard is important. But there is something that matters even more, believing in yourself. Think of it this way; every great wizard in history has started out as nothing more than what we are now, students. If they can do it, why not us?"

• Harry Potter, making his noble choice.

Many heroes have always been aligned with good. However, there are those that start off an ordinary citizen and had no intention of being a hero (or were too weak to do so). But somewhere along the way, these heroes grew into power and became a true hero to everyone's eyes. Notable examples of this type of hero are Buffy Summers, Captain America, Hercules, Spider-Man, Harry Potter, and Neo.
