 There comes a time in every man's life when situations spiral out of control and he finds his back against a wall. Maybe somebody stole his iPod. Maybe he just killed his wife and kids. Maybe he looked in the mirror and saw a Fucktard. Maybe you can't live with the fact that you're a washed-up actor who's addicted to sex with Thai ladyboys.  Whatever the reason, you can either get up and face the music, or you can tell the world and whatever deity you believe in to fuck off. In the latter case, pull out your list of final solutions and place a check in the suicide box, because tonight, you dine in hell. 

 Simply pwning oneself IRL is no cause to become ""An Hero"". Without exceptions, ""An Heroes"" are made, not born. When otherwise normal and rational people fondly eulogize and honor those that have killed themselves before them, that's when ""An Hero"" is made. Like it or not, somebody out there probably gives a shit about Kurt Cobain (moar liek Kurt Gobang amirite?). Could anyone say the same about you? That's why you'll never amount to anything. You'll never be ""An Hero"". Don't let us stop you from trying, though. Having said that, becoming an hero is shit because you won't get to see the results of your successful endeavors. However, if you do a school shooting and don't kill yourself, you just might. With a lot of luck. Don't expect not to get raped and murdered in prison, or executed in the electric chair. There is no half/almost/soon An Hero. Either you blow your brains out and become An Hero or don't, but in your case, please do. 

 The phrase ""An Hero"" dates back to 2006, in reference to the prototypical An Hero, Mitchell Henderson, who famously shot himself after losing his iPod. /b/tards jumped on a grammatical error made by many of his MySpace friends, and it is now immortalized as the banner under which we mock those courteous enough to remove themselves from the gene pool. Since then, an heroes of all ages have bravely been removing themselves from the gene pool, including 3 year olds. 

 == You and Your Potential An Hero == 

  
 You hate life, you have no friends, your dad is a(n) insert problem here, your mom is a slut, school sucks, you get molested after class, you couldn't get a Wii two years ago or today, you lost your iPod (which BTW had terrible music on it), you're gay, you get bullied, noone loves you, everyone hates you, you lost ""the game"". You've been thinking about becoming an hero for a while now, but are not sure. Will anyone care? Have you given the military a try? Will anyone remember you? No, because you're a sick fuck. Now you have to get set on changing that. 

 == IRL usage of an Hero prior to the 20th century fagification of the Engrish language == 
 While ""an Hero"" is regarded as a grammatical error by modern linguists, usage of the quantifier an before words that started with a morpheme of the pattern CV that began with an h in the onset was common usage before the 17th20th century.  

 A Dictionary of the English Language (1824), defines the word heroical as something befitting an hero. 

 The Gentleman's Magazine (1787) uses an hero like a pro, and also includes many references to Johnfon.
