Heroes and Villains of Imaginary Worlds: A Primer of Tropes

Here are 5 general kinds of heroes and 5 general kinds of villains.  The Cine-Sib just now informed me that he's the "everyman" type of hero.  As for me, guess ... No, too easy.  He said I was the "anti-hero" kind of hero.    He identifies with Peter Parker ("Crouching Moron, Hidden ..." or "Obfuscating Stupidity"), and apparently I'm the Han Solo or Malcolm Reynolds type ("Loveable Rogue," "Jerk with a Heart of Gold").  O RLY?  He also just accused me of having this, which I admittedly don't deny. I might be horrible, but I try to be honest on this blog, ha!
