11	* Finn from ''WesternAnimation/AdventureTime''.
12	* [[TheCaptain Captain]] Zachary Foxx from ''WesternAnimation/AdventuresOfTheGalaxyRangers''.
13	* Gumball Watterson from ''WesternAnimation/TheAmazingWorldofGumball''.
14	* Aang in ''WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender''.
15	* Jack/Bionic 1 of ''WesternAnimation/BionicSix''.
16	* Kwame of ''WesternAnimation/CaptainPlanetAndThePlaneteers'', which gives him the honor of saying the {{Invocation}} before their ByThePowerOfGreyskull ritual.
17	* On a similar note, the titular character of ''WesternAnimation/{{Clarence}}'' is a total [[TheDitz Ditz]], but all the same is very selfless and values his friends above all else, even risking his life tone with them!
18	* Averted in ''WesternAnimation/CodeLyoko'', where none of the protagonists is placed as the actual "hero", the attributes being instead shared between them: [[TheSmartGuy Jérémie]] is TheLeader (and the one in love with TheHeart), [[TheHeart Aelita]] is the one leading the plot, [[TheStoic Ulrich]] is the one with the HeroesPreferSwords and fighting attributes, [[TheLancer Yumi]] is the TheKirk and [[PluckyComicRelief Odd]] is the hot-headed one.
19	* Bulletproof, the African-American {{cyborg}} of ''WesternAnimation/COPSAnimatedSeries''.
20	* Many animated Disney movies have one.
21	** ''WesternAnimation/{{Aladdin}}''
22	** Simba from ''WesternAnimation/{{The Lion King\|1994}}''.
23	** WesternAnimation/{{Hercules}}, which is exactly the main plot in the film. To recover his [[DisabledDeity lost Godly-status]], he has to prove he is a hero like the other Greek legends, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pa0lMzaljTk the film even explicitly inserts a musical number titled "From zero to hero"]].
24	** Aladar from ''WesternAnimation/{{Dinosaur}}''.
25	* Callum in ''WesternAnimation/TheDragonPrince''.
26	* Rufus is a strange nominal case in ''WesternAnimation/TheDreamstone'' starting off as such in the pilot before getting quickly downgraded more into a TagalongKid and HeroAntagonist afterwards. He shifts back a little by the end of the series but it's still often downplayed and shared with Amberley.
27	* Hank of the ''WesternAnimation/DungeonsAndDragons1983'' cartoon.
28	* In ''WesternAnimation/{{Futurama}}'' being an impulsive CloudCuckooLander and IdiotHero has not stopped Philip J. Fry. He tends to have the most focus, often saves the day (even if accidentally) and most importantly of all, is the one who drew the RagtagBunchOfMisfits together.
29	* ''WesternAnimation/HeManAndTheMastersOfTheUniverse1983'': He-Man, of course.
30	* Hank Hill from ''WesternAnimation/KingOfTheHill'' due to being the guy that always solves other people's problems and being the show's [[OnlySaneMan Only Sane Man]].
31	* Littlefoot from ''WesternAnimation/TheLandBeforeTime''
32	* ''WesternAnimation/MollyOfDenali'': Molly Mabray is the heroine of the show. She has solved multiple problems and is heavily respected in Qyah for that.
33	* ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePony'':
34	** Megan.
35	** Twilight Sparkle from ''[[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic Friendship Is Magic]]''. It is downplayed due to [[ADayInTheLimelight character rotations]], but she still tends to play this role in the series as a whole.
36	* Jet of ''WesternAnimation/ReadyJetGo'' is the AllLovingHero [[TheLeader leader]] of Team Propulsion.
37	* T.J. Detweiler from ''WesternAnimation/{{Recess}}''
38	* Although Mordecai and Rigby get more focus than any other ''WesternAnimation/RegularShow'' characters, the real hero of the show is [[{{Keet}} Pops]], as Season 8 revealed that [[spoiler: he is TheChosenOne to fight the season's BigBad, his EvilTwin Anti-Pops]].
39	* In ''WesternAnimation/RocketPower'', the show mainly focuses on the main four kids at once with each of them having their own episode at times. However, Otto Rocket is the main hero due to being [[TheAce The Ace]] of his four friends and having way more screen-time and [[CharacterDevelopment Character Development]]. It also helps that when it comes to Rocket Power merchandise, his face is usually the biggest thing seen on them.
40	* Skysurfer One of ''WesternAnimation/SkysurferStrikeForce''.
41	* Stan Marsh and Kyle Broflovski from ''WesternAnimation/SouthPark''.
42	* ''WesternAnimation/StevenUniverse'': Well, Steven Universe.
43	* Robin of ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitans2003''.
44	* Lion-O in both versions of ''WesternAnimation/ThunderCats''.
45	* ''WesternAnimation/TheTick''. He's also TheBigGuy, believe it or not.
46	* Timothy from ''WesternAnimation/TimothyGoesToSchool''.
47	* Palmer of ''WesternAnimation/TitanMaximum'' is a Deconstruction of the classic Mecha Team hero, being a glory-seeking JerkJock who as his former Lancer turned BigBad Gibbs can tell you is "an egomaniac [[IdiotHero troglodyte]] who will let you all die a fiery hell before he shares even one iota of glory." Palmer does in fact put himself over the team and is directly responsible for Gibbs' FaceHeelTurn (having once ''left him to die'' so that he wouldn't be late for a hot date), though he does have some degree of care for his "[[TeethClenchedTeamwork Friends]]."
48	* While established more as TheSmartGuy of a three member ensemble, Sam of ''WesternAnimation/TotallySpies'' is usually enthasised as what holds the team together, usually saving the team at least once per episode and sometimes even stopping the villain almost singlehandedly at times.
49	* Almost anyone named [[Franchise/{{Transformers}} Optimus]] (whether it ends in Prime or [[WesternAnimation/BeastWars Primal]]).
50	* ''WesternAnimation/XavierRiddleAndTheSecretMuseum'' focuses on many different heroes of history, but without a doubt our three main heroes, the glue holding everything together, are Xavier, Yadina, and Brad.
51	* ''WesternAnimation/XiaolinShowdown'' started out with Omi as the hero. Later, the role was transferred to Raimundo.
52	* Jack of ''WesternAnimation/Xyber9NewDawn'', TheChosenOne as a Myth/KingArthur-related archetype.
53	* [[TheLeader Aqualad]] on ''WesternAnimation/YoungJustice2010'', though he's said he's willing to pass the mantle on to Robin (TheLancer) once he's matured and gotten better at working with a team, instead of as Batman's partner.
54	** The show mainly features an EnsembleCast, although ComicBook/BlueBeetle seems to have taken on this role in season 2.
