    I think it’s pretty common to view a doctor saving someones life as heroic or a fireman pulling someone from a fire as heroic. They are normal jobs I guess but often involve acts that people view as heroic. Seems like it conveys the message. Not sure about delivery dude. More troublesome to me is that the artist completely ignored the latter part of the instructions that specifically mentioned ‘super’ heros

      This is a guy known for doing monkeys paw style photoshops for people, he’s not getting paid and people expect this kind of thing

      Honestly, being a (voluntary) firefighter is 90% exercises, 5% special training (learning new tech etc.), and <= 5% actually being in action. For our region, ‘action’ means 40% false alarms from the system at a hospital, 20% false alarm of someone being in the river near us (there never is anyone), and 30% other alarms. From the 10% of other action, most times we search for someone or clean up oil, pump out basement etc. In 2 years we had 5 fires, 3 of those were arson and basically a one-time thing. And of all of those, no human was ever in risk, except my sanity when being woken at 4 am before an exam.

      I’m unfamiliar with that delivery uniform, maybe it’s another country’s postal service, but the USPS has had a kind of “higher purpose” associated with it. E.g.

      The Postal Service shall have as its basic function the obligation to provide postal services to bind the Nation together through the personal, educational, literary, and business correspondence of the people. It shall provide prompt, reliable, and efficient services to patrons in all areas and shall render postal services to all communities.

      Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night stays these couriers from the swift completion of their appointed rounds.

        You can write whatever you want, but until my mail guy stops throwing packages in the mud at the base of my mailbox instead of leaving them on my doorstoop, I’m holding on the hero title.
