The Hero Archetype

I believe that Buck Rogers was the perfect hero archetype. He became a hero through unusual circumstances (being frozen for many years until his body was discovered and 'thawed'), he has talents that no one else has (ingenuity and space ship driving skills), he was unwillingly put into the situation (because he didn't choose to be frozen in time), and he also has a sidekick, Buddy. I know Mr. Anderson didn't include that in the slide show, but I think the sidekick thing is important for a hero. Since we only watched the show for about twenty minutes, these are the only hero traits that I could find, but it was pretty obvious that he was the main protagonist of the story.
