well… say your son was into the whole fighting/action thing. like every boy is. they tend to look up to these angry, violent people as heros, because at such a young age they dont understand violence is bad, and they will try to copy these violent characters, without even realizing what their doing is wrong.

Of course people can have “villans” as their heroes. People have idolized serial killers in the past, leading to repeat/copycat crimes. At times the media leads to the glorification of people who have committed horrible crimes- which can lead viewers to treat these people as “heroic” celebrities.
