Hero 3: Thor

Next hero up is the Norse God of Thunder, War, and Oak Trees. This is only the Son of Odin himself, the Mighty Thor. We are talking about Thor, the real Thor. I don't care what's going on at Marvel, Thor isn't a girl. The character is based off a pre established mythological character. And that character is a guy. And that's my tangent, ON TO THE ANALYSIS!
Individualism and heroism. He's a god that fights for mankind for Pete's sake (who even is Pete?), he fits the description. So, you get the picture, SKIP.
Henry David Thoreau and other Romantic/ Transcendentalist writers used allusions to the Bible and Greek mythology. Thor's entire universe is an allusion to ancient Norse mythology. He is Norse, Asgard is Norse, Odin, Loki, Freyja, Heimdall... they're all Norse. The above picture is him slaying a Nordic monster, a Frost Giant. He faces off against the Midgard Serpent several times, like in the mythology... the list goes on and on. I think we can see he's an allusion to Norse mythology.
Like Aquaman, Thor has a strong connection to nature. He is the personification of lightning, and also oak trees (it's a thing, another allusion to Norse mythology). So like Aquaman, every enemy he conquers is the triumph and superiority of nature over man (or snake, or Frost Giant, or...).
Thor's childhood doesn't show a lot of innocence like in Romanticism. He was born Prince of Asgard, God of Thunder, and soon proved himself a skilled warrior on the battlefield. His childhood wasn't plagued with misfortune, but he wasn't exactly innocent either.
Interesting tidbit I found about Thor in my research, he once uppercutted a zombie pirate captain into space. Couldn't find a decent place to put that, so here it is.
But there's Thor, a classical allusion to Norse mythology and in tune with nature. Comment which hero you want to hear about later (just don't say Batman- he's so complex, I'm saving him for last). If no one responds, tomorrow will be about everyone's favorite Merc With a Mouth, Deadpool.
