A hero is an individual that drives a society to go a step further. In the case of the evolution of archetypes there is no possibility to evolve without the existence of heroes. These individuals are members of the society that are willing to assume the responsibility of making the next step.

People project on heroes the values they need. This projection is what makes heroes change agents, because they are able to influence the environment that recognizes them as such.

After the change has been achieved, heroes are no more necessary. In this case there are two alternatives:

1)  Heroes return to their former role and the heroic action is part of their history.
2)  Heroes try to profit from their actions intending to occupy a leading role in the society based on their deeds.

In the first case heroic actions and heroes are part of the past and a monument is built after their death. George Washington is an example of this case.

In the second case heroes enter into a conflict with the establishment of the society and are usually eliminated because they threaten the power. Che Guevara is an example of this second case.

Heroes drive society to go a step further. Their goal is transcendence and they have necessarily a human side and a supernatural side. The active function is human; therefore they are permanently in danger to succumb in the deeds they are doing.

Their energy conservation function is “supernatural” which in this case means that they have an extreme superior energy and power to develop the tasks they are doing.
