HeroesSquad

Samuel Jay Lagacé (born: ), also known simply as Sam and better known online as HeroesSquad or Hero, is a trilingual Canadian YouTuber who makes gaming videos (most common one being speedruns), memes, and ocassionally: YouTube Poops.
==History==
Before being a YouTuber, he was amazed of video games and the Internet. Originally, he watched only Cobanermani456, his inspiration. As years passed, he watched Charmx, Hobo Bros, Jacksepticeye, Tails & Sonic Pals, JonTron, Did You Know Gaming? and more.
After Cobanermani456 left YouTube, he was a bit bored since his favorite Youtube was not making videos anymore. He used to watch Kushowa, but since he stopped reacting to videos, Samuel stopped reacting to him.
On October 3, 2018, he made his YouTube channel along with his first video.
He started to do gaming videos, but due of a lot of stuffs going on his life, he stopped for a while.
After his third video about Super Smash Brothers 64, he made a short-lived plush series called "GamingPlush". After his plush video, GamingPlush Short: The Competition Event, he stopped for a while to make plush videos and instead made memes & mashups.
He used to use Youtube into Gif and Kapwing to make his memes and mashups. Ever since he found and downloaded OpenShot Video Editor, he makes his memes even better. We don't even see any watermark. Though, he's using an older version of the software. He has his issues, like how some of his edits includes crisp audio, reversed clips that glitch, glitched audio and the screen going to black for a split second.
He only did 3 TikTok videos before stopping making them. Although, he removed two TikTok videos.
==GamingPlush==
GamingPlush was a short-lived plush series from 2018 to 2019 where video game characters, which includes movie characters weirdly, are having mishaps. According to him, his plush videos are similar to SuperMarioLogan's, but has some meme comedy of SMG4's. But personally to him, it seems like he tried doing something like AnimeBroMii.
Some of the plush characters appeared in other videos aside GamingPlush. Sam doesn't make them anymore due to the fact that making plush videos wasn't his style. It was also too cringey according to him.
==YouTube Poops==
He watched six Sonic YTPs at the age of 7. Two of them from Sonic Colors. Two of them from Sonic 06. And two others from different Sonic games.
*YTP- Sonic's Stupid Wishes (A Sonic And The Secret Rings YTP)

He didn't understand much, but he find them funny. He rewatched YTPs at the age of 13. He understands and finds them more funnier than before.
On September 21, 2019, he made his first YTP. Then, more appeared. He even appeared in BotwFan!'s collab, however, due to BotwFan!'s channel being gone with the collab, Sam renamed his entry into "Mini YTP: Lego City With New Funky Mode".
