Just like villains who are known as Fearmongers, dreaded heroes are the ones who inspire fear in those on the other side. These heroes are the kinds of individuals who are simultaneously recognized and feared for their great skills and for their legendary achievements in their lives. Most enemies that know of their legends would not dare crossing paths with them antagonistically, for fear that they would meet the same fate of those who tried to earn their ire foolishly, and those who know of them, but are not their enemies, would go on to speak volumes about their great skills. Overall, these heroes are those many would not mess with, and to be in their path will lead to their own demise or to a fate worse than death should their wrath be triggered. Often overlaps with One-Man Army.

DO NOTE: Some Pure Good heroes fall under this category instead of being hateful, misanthropic, xenophobic, lethal, or assassins. Sympathy, remorse, and mercy would be a good combination and conjunction of these.
