![Ross](/clue/static/ross-mug.min.png)
I believe the answer is:
superman
'reeve role' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for superman that I've seen before include "Nietzsche hero; comic-strip character" , "Ideal male" , "Kent some time" , "Nietzsche created" , "one with great abilities" .)
