Heroes in this category were based on real people or true events, but fictionalized and exaggerated in the process. Any historical hero who was portrayed by an actor in a film dramatization belongs here; however, fictional depictions of actual people who aren't really good at all and which have no basis in reality do not.

IMPORTANT: THIS DOES NOT INCLUDE COMPLETELY FICTIONAL CHARACTERS THAT WERE INSPIRED BY REAL PEOPLE. THIS CATEGORY IS ONLY FOR CHARACTERS WITH ACTUAL HISTORICAL EXISTENCE.
