Hurting Hero is a disambiguation


* '''Played For Drama''': As a result of Hiro's fight against the darkness, his fight inexorably exposes him to the inherent suffering, death, and tragedy in the world. As a result, it takes its toll on Hiro's psyche, altering his personality (though his core morality is unaffected). These changes turn him into a HurtingHero, ShellShockedVeteran, GoodIsNotNice shadow of his original self. Hiro's love for the world makes him believe that he has to grow apart from it and push people away from him. While he carries a seeming mask of fearlessness, Hiro is always scared because he knows that any misstep could make the next battle his last. After a long struggle against the darkness he [[TakingUpTheMantle chooses a successor to pass his mantle to]]; someone younger and more idealistic like he used to be.

** His actions soon gradually go from innoucous to [[KnightTemplar morally questionable]] as his paranoia skyrockets from his adversaries soon justifying his atrocities as "heroic" and "righteousness" and will beat anyone who opposes his beliefs and gets in his way.

** Hiro dies but the MacGuffin keeps him from dying, and he [[CameBackStrong comes back stronger than ever]], and proving himself to be the hero by fighting off the threat that killed him and saving everyone.
** Hiro was faking to distract attention from himself. While Lance and the rest are out fighting small battles, he is mentally doing big picture heroics with the macguffin via EnlightenmentSuperpower.
