What makes a kid hero a kid hero? For example Someone like Little Mac counts in his game since he's only 17 going against a league but some reason Marth from Fire Emblem doesn't count despite being 16 himself? Is it a genre thing? Then why does all iterations of Ben 10 count whether he's a 10 or 16 but spiderman from spectacular spiderman doesn't have in is character page despite being 16 himself but both being super heroes? Is there like a requirement I'm missing or is the answer is as simple as someone just didn't add it to their character page

Sounds like kid heroes completely choose to be heroes and live normal lives when not being heroic as I've seen many who go on full-fledged adventures to save the world.

Which trope would be more proper for when a kid isn't text-book "heroic", yet does something that shows the way / leads by example / acts as a surprise role model, with the end result of saving th eday (or even the world?) An example of what I'm talking about could be Scout in "To kill a mockingbird" with her mob-shaming skills. Or in a more modern example, Summer Wars where nobody thinks of helping Natsuki until a boy lends her his account, and then about 14 millon adults decide to follow suite.

I don't think that would fall under this trope.

Can we put this quote from Phenomena:

Where stories meet the young, is where we meet the heroes and the legends.
As the page quote? It's a story about two Kid Heroes. It's in the beginning of the 1st book as a foreword(forquote?) of sorts. I dunno how to add them if they are not esepcially said by anyone (well, expect the author). Thanks.

Seems OK for me. Might want to get more opinions here.

Removed this X Just X example. Please provide a description so those who haven't read it will have some clue what this means.
