In the beginning, many heroes did not want to be heroes. Whether it stems from personal self-doubt or just simple interest in a normal life without any of the responsibilities a hero must face on a regular basis, heroes have found, through the course of time, that they were destined for a greater role in life. While these heroes have come to accept the mantle that has been given to them, many of them would still never pass up an opportunity to return to the ordinary lifestyle they once followed.

Note: Unlike heroes by proxy who don't want to become heroes, reluctant heroes realize and accept they were destined to become heroes. Thus, they can qualify as pure good if they meet all the criteria.
