** "Heart Of A Hero" establishes Norman Sinclair as another foil to Kit. They're both shown wanting to go off on their in being heroes. However, with Kit, it's shown that she cares about her friends and family and going off on her own is for their own protection or so they're not bothered. In contrast, Norman wants credit for being a hero in order to be better than everyone else and show up his father. The way they treat villains is also different. As Sylvester Slapdash notes, she's tough but fair, and can at least be lenient with them from time to time when they have a common goal. She also never acts high and mighty when taking them in. In contrast, Norman rounds them regardless of how severe their actions are, and thinks he's above them by constantly rubbing his ego in their faces.
