Romantic Hero

Another
characteristic which I don't think has been mentioned is that the Romantic hero rejects
established behaviors and becomes something of a law unto himself, standing for the triumph of
the individual over the group.

That being said, there seem to be a wide
divergence of opinion among scholars about just what this hero looks like in real life.  The
Byronic hero is one model and, as someone has noted, is perhaps the most frequently referenced. 
But modern literature, with it's focus on alienation, and created a new kids of
"Romantic" hero with less emphasis on the romantic piece and more on the
alienation/lonliness --- more of the "Kierkegaard Romanic Hero."

And as a totally unrelated comment to #5, I think it's really sad that we have created
a differentiation between Batman and Superman as heroes.  I grew up with both these characters,
and I never saw any difference (beside "great toys" vs. super powers) in their
moral/heroic stance.  I think what "they" have made of Batman is sad
