Honorable term co-opted by corporate douches to pump up poorly paid 'associates' or other low-wage workers. This mis-use of the term devalues real heros by referring to anyone who is doing what the corporate douche wants done at the moment as a hero. A real hero is someone who risks their own wellbeing to save another putting themselves in mortal peril.

A gaming term that derived from any multiplayer "shooter" video game where "elimination" is involved. A "hero" is the last standing player who successfully completes the round through major extremities or when the odds are stacked heavily against them.
Call of Duty; Search & Destroy: "He was the only one on our team alive and he took down 5 (or all 6) guys by himself and won the round. He's a 'Hero'.
Gears of War; Horde mode:
"'Hero'! He completed the wave (there has to be a significant amount of locust alive, of course) on his own after we all died."
*The key thing to remember is that this person (or hero) has to be ALONE when the odds are stacked SIGNIFICANTLY against him (for Search & Destroy, at least 5 guys); yet he still eliminates the opposition AND wins the round.

Someone who has the courage to stand up for what's right or what they believe in, even when they themselves are scared. It doesn't matter how huge their deed is, even the smallest thing can make someone a hero. A hero can be a cop, fireman, doctor, or even a stranger on the street. It doesn't matter, anyone can be a hero.
