Hero is a 2007 novel by Perry Moore. It deals with Thom Creed, the son of retired-in-disgrace hero Major Might and missing heroine Invisible Lass. Major Might, also known as Hal Creed, has two strong beliefs. One is that homosexuality will directly lead to the collapse of society as we know it. The other is his grudge against superpowered heroes. Guess what two attributes define Thom? The novel won awards.
