My favorite hero would have to be Ender from the novel Ender's Game.
Ender is called to a greater future when he is selected to attend a battle school. Instead of normally rising through the ranks like most of the other students, Ender becomes commander of a large army of students in no time. Because of his incredible ability to acquire information and analyze it in seconds, he is constantly sequestered from the other boys around him. Although the Buggers are seen as the monumental evil force against all humans, the adults that control Ender's every move become the villains of the novel. Once Ender is finally able to defeat the Buggers, he is free from the authority that once engulfed his every action. He vows at the end of the novel to never allow himself to develop into the adults that made his life a truly living hell. He also wishes to renew the race he had defeated with such glory (the Buggers). Because of his motivation, confidence, and constant struggle to release himself from the life he did not wish for, Ender is my favorite hero.
