But the video doesn’t just highlight superheroes -- it features the best ones: Everyday heroes.

We can’t help but love some of the most-searched hero terms: real life superheroes; people with superpowers; unsung heroes; sheroes; supermom; superdad; what do heroes look like? What makes a person a hero? Can anyone be a hero?
