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.

That man just recued the baby from that burning building and then left before we could thank him or ask his name. What a hero!

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.

One of the main characters of the video game Omori and brother of Kel.
Hero is described as universally loved and naturally gifted at anything he puts his mind to. He and Mari were very close, to the point of being described as “a match made in heaven” by Basil. However, following the loss of Mari, he became extremely depressed for almost a year. While he recovered, he gave up his passion of cooking, switched to medical studies, and still feels a great load of distress regarding the incident.
Main character Sunny looks up to Hero quite a great deal - Nearly anything Hero does, even in Sunny’s imagination, Sunny thinks to himself “Wow…”
Fans often depict Hero as violently lashing out after the end of the game following the truth, however this side of him is only mentioned once in the whole game, and it’s said after his violent outburst caused Kel to cry it snapped him out of his depressive state for good.
