Heroic Benchmark Wiki:Former Heroic Benchmarks

This category is for heroes who used to be on this wiki before being approved as Pure Good, Near Pure Good or Inconsistently Admirable, or being removed from the Heroes Wiki.

## Former Heroic Benchmarks

### Heroic Benchmarks that are now Pure Good

* Ariel from *The Little Mermaid:* She was thought to be bog-standard and a jerk sometimes before she subverted those factors and was admirable enough.
* Luigi from *The Super Mario Bros. Movie*: He was thought to be too bog-standard before it was revealed he was needed for both him and Mario to get the Power Star and save both the Mushroom Kingdom and Brooklyn. He also subverts his laziness and arrogance at the end.
* Rosalina from *Super Mario Bros.*: She was thought to have suffered from Fridge Brilliance over her best actions in *Super Mario Galaxy,* however, new installments such as *Mario+Rabbids: Sparks of Hope* have her pushed past the standards of the franchise.
* Jaq from *Cinderella*: It was thought that he failed the standards to Cinderella too much, but he was approved as PG when it was pointed out that he actually did admirable actions such as helping Cinderella in her quests.

### Heroic Benchmarks that are now Near Pure Good

* Cassie Lang from *Marvel Cinematic Universe*: Although her actions were thought to be too bog-standard, she did play a major role in stopping Kang by utilizing her accidental teleportation into the Quantum Realm to her advantage.
* Ellie from *Ice Age*: While she still fails the admirable standards to Manny, Diego and arguably Sid, her actions, such as going to save Sid from dinosaurs aloneside others and saving the situation there at least twice while being pregnant, or partaking in saving Earth from the meteorite, undeniably stand out. She also was considered a damsel in distress, but it was found out she wasn't.
* Hank Pym from *Marvel Cinematic Universe*: While he still does suffer from Fridge Brilliance, he played a huge role in Ant-Man's heroism as well as stripping Kang from his armor.
* Lumiere from *Beauty and the Beast*: He was thought to be bog-standard, but it was revealed he did play a major role in helping to save the kingdom from the curse by helping Belle and the Beast to fall in love, as well as saving the castle by stopping Gaston and his rioters with less resources.
* Michael Afton from *Five Nights at Freddy's*: It was thought that his actions were bog-standard and that he was grey squared.
* Nico from *Rio*: He was thought to be bog-standard, but since he was the reason Blu and Jewel were able to escape the marmosets, informing to Blu that Jewel got captured, and taking part in defeating the Big Boss and his Smugglers, he stands out.
* Pepper Potts from *Marvel Cinematic Universe*: She was thought to be just a bog-standard nice girlfriend, however after Aldrich Killian was approved as Pure Evil and her act of defeating her was admirable enough, she was reapproved here.
* Princess Fiona from *Shrek*: While she does fail the admirable standards still, her actions such as causing Shrek's redemption, and kissing Shrek before he would disappear, which helped defeat Rumplestiltskin, she at least stood out.
* Sting Eucliffe from *Fairy Tail*: Although he does still fail the admirable standards, he does at least take a major part in defeating Acnologia. He also changed Sabertooth into a much better place for its members as the new guild master, and saved his friends from Larcade's deadly spell that caused each of them to starve by knocking each of them out (what also helps is that he saved Kagura and Yukino from trying to eat each other).

### Heroic Benchmarks that are now Inconsistently Admirable

* Cogsworth from *Beauty and the Beast*: He was thought to be bog-standard, but it was revealed he did play a major role in helping to free the kingdom from the curse and stopping Gaston and his rioters with less resources. Despite this, he is still way too much of a jerk to be Near Pure Good.
* Gregory from *Five Nights at Freddy's*: He was thought to be bog-standard that his actions paled in that of Glamrock Freddy, but he was approved as IA after a reproposal.
* Lincoln Loud:
* Manny from *Ice Age*: It was originally thought that he was far too standard to pass the baseline, but he was proposed and approved as IA when it was pointed out that he saved Earth from getting blown and that he stopped Captain Gutt (who is a NPE villain). Although, Manny still is an extreme jerk and never completely reforms.
* Max Keeble from *Max Keeble's Big Move*: He saved the animals from being run over by a bulldozer driven by Principal Jindraike. However, he is too mischievous to be Near Pure Good.
* Mettaton from *Undertale*:
* Sakura Haruno from *Naruto*:
* Sandy Cheeks from *SpongeBob SquarePants*: She saved everybody when they were turned realistic in one episode.
* Willy Wonka from *Charlie & The Chocolate Factory*: While one could argue this is a pure innocence franchise, Willy Wonka genuinely wants to spread happiness around the world with candy and he gave the Oompa Loompas better homes in all of the adaptations.

### Heroic Benchmarks that no longer qualify as heroes

* Andy Davis from *Toy Story*: He wasn't aware that toys were sapient, making him just a neutral character.
* Caillou from his titular franchise: He doesn't even do anything remotely heroic. Not to mention, he is a spoiled brat.
* Chuckles from *Toy Story*: He didn't do anything remotely heroic despite being portrayed as tragic.
* General Hux from *Star Wars*: His "redemption" wasn't even genuine at all, and all of his "heroic actions" were done out of nothing but self serving reasons.
* Pomni from *The Amazing Digital Circus*: She didn’t do anything heroic at all. Though this is subject to change in future episodes.
* Fred from *SpongeBob SquarePants*: He didn’t do anything remotely heroic, although this might (unlikely) change.
* Herbert the Pervert from *Family Guy*: He's more of a villain than an actual hero. His actions are acts of kindess.

## Status Under Debate

* Bob from *Despicable Me:* He is back to Near Pure Good only because his removal had false information inserted.
* Toothless from *How to Train Your Dragon:* He is abstained from Near Pure Good because he doesn't fail the standards at all. However, whether or not his jerkish moments still hold up is debatable.
