What makes a hero?

©

Bane as played by Tom Hardy in The Dark Night Rises is sort of an obsession for me right now. He is a fascinating character born of violence and yet I find myself drawn to him. What is so appealing? Well for me it is the mystery of the mask and his muscular physique. The shaved head, thick neck, bulging arms, and tattoo's. Oh yeah he is definitely my cup of tea. I consider it my job as a romance novelist to fantasize about men especially if they are great hero potential. Sorry dear husband but don't be jealous because many traits I find so irresistible in these characters you have too. To be quite frank I want to wrap my self around Bane and have his babies. Naturally I want to sooth all his hurts and change this wounded man from a violent monster into my personal beef cake cuddle buddy. That's what imagination is for right?
But is Bane hero potential? Is he redeemable and lovable? Sure there are naughty things I would like to do with him but could a heroine love someone so tragically twisted? I think not. It is such a pity that such a glorious specimen of masculinity will go without the love of a woman but such is his fictitious life. I will file him away to fantasy land and keep him there for inspiration.
