'''HeroesHero''' is a group of six [[Archetype]]s introduced in ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! GX]]''. '''Hero''' cards are denoted by 「<ruby><rb>ＨＥＲＯ</rb><rp>(</rp><rt>ヒーロー</rt><rp>)</rp></ruby>」 in the card's Japanese name. In the anime, [[Jaden Yuki|Jaden]] uses Elemental Heroes and [[Neo-SpaciansSpacian]] s (sub-archetype of Elemental Heroes), [[Aster Phoenix|Aster]] uses Elemental Heroes and Destiny Heroes, and Jaden as [[The Supreme King]] uses Elemental Heroes and Evil Heroes. In the manga, Jaden uses Elemental Heroes (but he uses different ones except in a flashback) and Masked Heroes while Aster uses Vision Heroes.
At first they were divided into "[[Elemental HeroesHero]]es", "[[Evil HeroesHero]]es" and "[[Destiny HeroesHero]]es" but later they shifted towards unification of the three archetypes. In Japan, there are two more; "[[Masked HeroesHero]]es" and "[[Vision HeroesHero]]es".
Cards whose text specifically reference this unification include "[[Elemental Hero Stratos]]", "[[Elemental Hero Ocean]]", "[[Elemental Hero Divine Neos]]", "[[Evil Hero Infernal Prodigy]]", "[[Elemental Hero Absolute Zero]]", and "[[Hero's Bond]]", where the effects are based on cards present on the field whose names contain "Hero", allowing them to be used with "Elemental Heroes", "Evil Heroes", "Destiny Heroes", "Masked Heroes", and "Vision Heroes".
The Korean cards use "히어로" to indicate Heroes. Elemental Heroes and Evil Heroes are denoted by "엘리멘틀 히어로" and Destiny Heroes are denoted by "데스티니 히어로". How ever, "엘리멘틀" doesn't mean "Elemental", it is translated to "Elrimenteul". The real translation would be "엘리멘탈". And further, the only card that shows "Evil Hero" translated into Korean proper is "[[Evil Hero Inferno Wing]]" and only in the [[Card Gallery:Evil Hero Inferno Wing|Ultra Rare-version]] of this card. So the proper translation of "Evil Hero" is "이블 히어로".
In English and other languages they have changed the text to allow only [[Destiny Hero]]es and [[Elemental Hero]]es to work with these related card effects. Most cards still need to be updated with the release of the "[[Evil HeroesHero]]es" to include them. "[[Elemental Hero Stratos]]" and "[[Elemental Hero Ocean]]" have been errata'd to support each type of Hero.
The "[[Masked HeroesHero]]es" and "[[Vision HeroesHero]]es" make their debut in the 50th chapter of the GX manga.
Heroes are often based off of comic or movie style heroes.
