Batwoman or Ms. Marvel (4)

I believe the answer is:

hero

(Other definitions for hero that I've seen before include "Chief good guy in a story" , "Male protagonist" , "Leander's lover, who committed suicide when he drowned" , "Man admired for courage and achievement" , "Rochester maybe required?" .)

I've seen this clue in The Wall Street Journal.
