Lincoln's NOT a hero. He's just an average kid.

The actual definition of the word "hero" is someone who sacrifices themselves to save the world or something like that... Like one who only does selfless acts for the good of humanity.

Lincoln is NOT that at all. In fact, he sometimes actually DOES act selfish and do things for his own personal gain. Like attempting to change Lisa in Making the Grade.. Or tuning everyone out with his earphones in Sound of Silence... Or saying he's bad luck so he doesn't have to support his sisters' activities in No Such Luck... Or... Well, I could name a billion right now, but that would take forever.

Point is.. Lincoln's no hero. He is the main protagonist of the show.. There is a difference.. Since this show focuses primarily on Lincoln - yet he doesn't really show typical heroic qualities.
