We Don’t Need Another Hero

Hercules, a hero indeed, might have had more in common with another muscle-bound figure, Mike Tyson, while the under-muscled Screech, of Saved by the Bell fame, has moved onto more “adult entertainment.”  Milada Horáková was executed in 1950s Czechoslovakia for denying fabricated charges against the state, while Kim Jong Il has fabricated a whole list of  heroic things he has done for the North Korean state.  Patti Smith was recently made a cultural hero by the French, and even though we love Patti,  Provokátor has compiled a top ten list on how to get rid of the irritant hero.  Want more while your saving the world?  Triple flip your latest copy over for our back facts.

Heroes, schmeeroes.  This month, Provokátor has torn off our civilian clothes to reveal our inner spandex and capes as we put heroes and anti-heroes under our x-ray vision:
