There are several short columns on different categories of characters, by different columnists. The column on "Heroes" by Bob Verini begins-- "Mythologist Joseph Campbell influenced many a bigscreen tentpole, and understood TV as well. "A hero," he said, "is someone who has given his or her life to something bigger than oneself." Jack Bauer suffers the deaths of friends and loved ones to counter terrorism and keep his nation free; Xena: Warrior Princess wields a mean chakram to fight for the greater good. Even inept Maxwell Smart never flags as he diligently serves CONTROL and foils KAOS." Verini not only remembers Xena; he remembers the chakram. He goes on to mention Steve Austin, Michael Knight, Buffy Summers, Sydney Bristow and Emma Peel.
