Accidental Hero	comment	A character becomes celebrated for heroism. He says he didn't do anything special. Problem is, it isn't modesty this time, or even false modesty. He really didn't do anything special. Two flavors: The accidental hero blundered in some way that actually caused a rescue or saved the day. The accidental hero was just standing around in a place where it looked like he saved the day. In either flavor, public acclaim that just won't go away is the main complication. The subsequent plot is a good showcase for examining the fiber of the accidental hero's character and to spin a little yarn about how people ''need'' heroes. Many times he becomes a true hero by the end of the story. When someone purposely tries to look like the hero without deserving it, there may be overlap with Engineered Heroics. May be a consequence of Non-Protagonist Resolver. Compare And You Thought It Was a Game, Badass on Paper, Cowardly Lion, Framed for Heroism, God Guise, Nominal Hero, Mistaken for Badass, Spanner in the Works, Nice Job Fixing It, Villain. May result in Broken Pedestal. Frequently overlaps with Accidental Celebrity. This trope is the spiritual opposite of Nice Job Breaking It, Hero. Contrast Unwitting Instigator of Doom.

So while he was able to end the Machine War, Beatrice unwittingly made it so his he was unable to start the new one against mankind.

Accidental Hero / int_261c8d3f	comment	The Simpsons: In "Homer Defined" had Homer Simpson save the town from nuclear doom by using eeny-meeny-miney to find the right button. He is then lauded as a national hero. He later manages to recreate his blunder, but the townsfolk figure out he had no idea what he was doing, and his "reward" this time is inspiring the term "pulling a Homer". Similarly, in "Little Big Girl" Bart Simpson accidentally puts out a fire when using fire extinguishers to propel himself forward along the road... his intention was just a cheap thrill, but the material from said fire extinguishers put out a fire that he encountered along the way. The image is from "Moe Baby Blues", where Moe saves Maggie (who had been launched from the Simpsons' car in a traffic accident) just as he was about to jump off the Springfield Bridge. Also a heartwarming moment when Maggie kisses Moe and Moe smiles, saying "Life don't seem so hard no more". Homer again in "Boy-Scoutz 'n the Hood" when he and Bart go on a Father/Son camping trip with the Junior Campers. Homer is The Load all the way, losing their map and getting himself, Bart, and the Flanderses lost at sea. He only ends up saving the day when his keen sense of smell and the Krusty Burger map he brought along led them to food and rescue. It also turned out that the "correct" path led the campers who went down it to be attacked by mountain men, a bear, and eventually a psycho killer lurking in an abandoned campground. In "Brother's Little Helper", Bart's prank of flooding the Springfield Elementary School gymnasium accidentally saved Flanders' life by dousing the flames when Flanders set himself on fire. Of course, by flooding the gym, he prevented the firefighters from putting out the fire sooner.

She simply believes Ginny's frightened and unable to sleep much because of all the attacks, which then leads to her nodding off during the day and sometimes sleepwalking. So, when Ginny asks her to keep an eye on her, and stop her if she starts to wander off, she agrees. Little does she know, her interference, on multiple occasions, prevents Tom from being able to use Ginny to enact a full-scale massacre.

Accidental Hero / int_2675c915	comment	Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. has Jeffrey Mace introduced as a super-strong Inhuman who gained fame when he was photographed holding up a wall to save the life of a woman when a conference was bombed. He's made head of S.H.I.E.L.D. and helps the organization out. However, a mission exposes that Mace is not an Inhuman and has no powers. His "saving" of that woman was actually him tripping over her trying to save his own skin and a reporter just happened to get a photograph at the perfect time and angle to make it look like Mace was holding up a wall. The President and Glen Talbot thus pushed him to take on the role for public morale. In reality, Mace hated the whole act and is ready to announce the truth but Coulson (who saw Mace risk his life to help others) urges him to keep it up in public while Coulson handles the real S.H.I.E.L.D. activities.

Wario Land 3: Wario saves his own world and unknowingly breaks Rudy the Clown's curse on the music box world's inhabitants by defeating him purely in self-defence. The inhabitants, thinking this was intentional, reward him with freedom and all the treasure he found on his quest, which is exactly what he was after from the very beginning. Wario Land 4: He broke into the Golden Pyramid to steal its treasure, only to inadvertently defeat the Golden Diva and lift the curse on Princess Shokora. Wario World: He destroyed the Black Jewel out of revenge for destroying his castle and turning his treasure into monsters, only to inadvertently save the world from its wrath. Wario: Master of Disguise: He stole Count Cannoli's magic wand to hijack his show and get a wish from the Wishstone, only to accidentally save both his world and the TV one by defeating Terrormisu over not getting a wish.

After accidentally activating the autopilot, the ship flies to the scene of the space fight, where Anakin figures out how to turn off the auto pilot. In an effort to escape being blown up by federation fighters he flies the ship into the hangar bay of the enemy federation ship. After several robot droids notice him and start approaching his ship, he fires on them, destroying the droids. Conveniently, several of Anakin's missed shots at the droids hit a power system structure, which happens to be directly behind the droids. Anakin narrowly escapes the erupting federation ship, which is noticed by other Naboo fighters. "There's one of ours out of the hangar." After the federation ship is destroyed by Anakin's bad aim, the battle is over as without the command and control from the federation ship the attacking droids all shut down. During the battle between the Gungans and the Separatist battle droids, Jar-Jarâ€™s clumsy actions happen to destroy a number of battle droids and enemy tanks without even trying. For example, shots that he fires off accidentally while trying to shake off a blaster stuck to his foot, all strike the enemy, and a bomb of which he loses control happens to fall into an enemy tank.

Accidental Hero / int_3aeb1c75	comment	Dragon Ball, Idiot Hero Goku tends to make dumb decisions that work out splendidly later on, among them being: In Dragon Ball, he lets Piccolo live when he has him dead to rights. In Dragon Ball Z, he lets Vegeta leave when he has him dead to rights. They both become two of his greatest allies. He recognizes Gohan's potential and very stealthily guides him to be the one to defeat Cell. At the moment, it's monumentally stupid to send a child out to fight the Big Bad, no matter how powerful he may be. This leads to him having to conduct a Heroic Sacrifice to save everyone, which doesn't even really work because Cell comes back even stronger than before and kills Trunks — only to spur Vegeta into an unexpected rage that gives Gohan the chance to win the fight for real. Win! When Kid Buu destroys the Earth, instead of saving his sons, Present Trunks, or Piccolo, he saves Hercule, Dende, and the dog Bee. And saving Hercule is the absolute key to allowing Vegeta to use a Spirit Bomb to defeat Buu (and he also made things easier for Gohan and Videl's budding romance). When Beerus comes back to Earth in Dragon Ball Z: Battle of Gods, Goku just waits and watches him fight everyone else — but this allows Beerus to Dope Slap Bulma, triggering another unexpected fury from Vegeta that becomes his first encroachment into God-tier power. In Dragon Ball Super, King of All Cosmos Zen-Oh had previously expressed a desire to hold a martial arts tournament between all 12 universes but never got around to it. Goku reminds him of it several story arcs later, thinking it would be fun. Only Zen-Oh's plan is to destroy the eleven losing universes, and their inhabitants immediately laid into Goku for being so heartless. But Vados points out that if Goku had not intervened, Zen-Oh would have just destroyed every universe, no questions asked. Goku doesn't care either way, because he loves a good fight, and he's even okay with people thinking he's evil if he gets a good fight out of it.

Allowing Harry to grow up without all that pressure is one of the main reasons Dumbledore arranges for him to live with Muggle Foster Parents (even if said foster family went a little too far the other way.) In Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, the nervous Ron is applauded for making a save with his foot during practice. When Harry mentions this right before the first match of the year, Ron tells him that he fell off the broom and kicked it accidentally.

Accidental Hero / int_468bebb0	comment	Everything Rincewind ever did in the Discworld novels that didn't involve running away like his backside was on fire. Except for the one time that he mans up, in Sourcery. But it's okay! The statue, as a reward, gets downgraded to a plaque, gets downgraded to a certificate, gets downgraded to a fine. It's implied that although a coward he may be, Rincewind also grew up on the streets of Morpork — and Survived. Which is why he chose a half-brick in a sock as his weapon against the greatest Sourcerer to ever live. There's also the fact that at heart he's not as selfish as he lets on and will stick up for those he truly cares about. Also in The Light Fantastic and Interesting Times, although he is still trying to run away in Interesting Times. He just finds the save-everybody MacGuffin while he's at it. In The Light Fantastic, he beats up the bringer of the apocalypse. With his bare hands, but that's partly because he was pissed off at Trymon for laughing at him, which brought up memories of years of humiliation at the Unseen University. As Lord Vetinari remarks in The Last Hero, "[T]he thing about saving the world, gentlemen and ladies, is that it inevitably includes whatever you happen to be standing on." One of Rincewind's enduring character traits is his willingness to "heroically" face almost certain death whenever the alternative is facing absolutely certain death. The title character of Eric. He had intended to summon a demon from the Dungeon Dimensons to grant his wish. He ends up rescuing Rincewind instead.

When the Syndics invaded The Alliance, one of the first attacks was on the convoy going through the system. Sending all but his ship to the jump point, Geary turns his ship towards the incoming Syndics in order to hold them off long enough to let the others escape. He evacuates the crew and himself jumps into a cryopod before his ship is destroyed. While the act is definitely heroic, when he wakes up nearly 100 years later, he finds out that the Alliance has turned him to a great hero who will someday return to lead the fleet to a glorious victory over the Syndics. The Alliance-Syndic war has continued without stopping for all this time, with both sides being too large to be easily defeated. Heavy attrition of experienced personnel has resulted in Attack! Attack! Attack! being the only fleet tactic familiar to the fleet with personal glory of ship commanders being the most important thing in battle. Geary is now a full captain with the legendary nickname "Black Jack". However, when someone points out his heroic Last Stand, he explains that this was his only battle to date, and he lost it.

Sisko manages to convince Nalas that he can still be of value by inspiring his people, but the role never sits comfortably and he's actually relieved to sacrifice his life for Sisko in "The Siege". In "The House of Quark", a Klingon attacks Quark in a drunken rage only to accidentally fall on his own knife. Quark quickly exaggerates the story, claiming that he'd killed his attacker in a fight to the death, which earns him a lot of notoriety (and is good for business). Then he finds out the hard way that killing a Klingon in combat has more complex legal and political implications than he'd expected. "Nor the Battle to the Strong", has Jake Sisko: a civilian, aspiring novelist and part-time journalist. While on a besieged planet, Jake defends a field hospital by causing a minor cave-in, killing two Klingon invaders and sealing the entrance — except that it was all an accident, he was panicking and shooting blindly, and the results were extraordinary luck for him. He freely admits, however, that he was acting on fear and only trying to stay alive, and notes with some surprise that he was basically acting on the same self-protection instinct that had led to an act of what might be termed cowardace just a few days earlier — it just so happened that in this case, the instinctive action happened to be one that also saved others in the process. He even writes a truthful account of it for publication. He may not be a hero, but he's a very conscientious journalist.

He lets the hero stuff go to his head and Arthur and friends decide recreate the scenario via robotic cat to prove he is no hero. It succeeds, much to the disappointment of Buster, but then he (intentionally) saves Arthur and Francine from a runaway piano. Here We Go Again!.

Accidental Hero / int_7ed2e204	comment	Doraemon Invoked in one chapter where Doraemon and Nobita use a mind-reading device and encounter a would-be criminal. Since they can't report the guy (who hasn't done anything yet) to the police, Doraemon puts a device on him that somehow causes his attempts at committing a crime to become accidental acts of heroics: him trying to snatch away a child ends up saving her from a falling beam, trying to snatch a bag from someone ends up returning it to its original owner (the guy he tried to take it from had stolen it from someone else), and trying to break into a house to steal end up saving the house from fire. Things end happily when he confesses the truth to the owner of the house he saved (who also happens to own the bag he previously tried to rob, and the father of the child he intended to kidnap), and the latter gave the guy a job so that he wouldn't have to resort to crime to buy medicine for his sick wife. In The Doraemons Special, Doraemon, Doramed and Kid are babysitting for a family. However, the baby crawls away while they're not paying attention, and in trying to find the child, they end up foiling a bank robbery.

Unfortunately, the population are extremely skittish and therefore unsuitable to become Green Lanterns. Believing that he will soon die, El'qa has the ring search for someone on Qualar IV with no fear. The ring locates such a person but warns El'qa that he is not going to like it. The chosen individual, Perdoo, is erratic, disinterested in his environment and easily distracted, particularly by his appreciation for flitterbys. However, he manages to defeat the Statejians, someone that no one else in recorded history has ever been able to do, without even realising it. El'qa later learns that Perdoo felt no fear in any circumstances as he was an inmate in an insane asylum and was therefore unaware of his surroundings.

In the Scooby-Doo and Guess Who? episode "Returning of the Key Ring", Daphne brings the others along when she has lunch with her friend Sean Astin, but warns them not to say the word "ring" because it's a trigger for him after the filming of the trilogy. Velma accidentally triggers Sean when she finds a key ring.

It's only partly true. In his first short story he was nothing but, credited with saving the day while allegedly scouting for and finding a Tyranid flanking attack — when he was actually trying to desert; and saving his future aide, by charging to protect him from a horde of Tyranids — when in reality, he was simply running from more, larger Tyranids in the other direction. Since then, a combination of his survival skills, extreme good luck, and diplomatic abilities has resulted in him getting out of one hairy situation after another, with his reputation as a HERO OF THE IMPERIUM snowballing. However, only some of this had him accidentally being a hero. Other times, he'd do it on purpose, even if it was only because his own skin was among those needing to be "heroically" saved, or because of his being Slave to PR. He did like that reputation.

He doesn't feel deserving of the acclaim he got for this achievement because the stone was lucky shot that just happened to hit the lion's head in such a way as to kill it; he'd thrown it out of desperation and panic in the heat of the moment.

Yoriichi left Sumiyoshi's family just hoping they live a honest good life with his cherished Hanafuda Earrings to ward evil away, he was completely unaware a secret Sun Breathing legacy was left all the way up to Tanjiro Kamado, to potentially end what he started: the quest for Muzan's death.

Cartman, furious that no-one saw him on TV, knocks over the mind controlling Planetarium projector in a fit of rage, inadvertently saving Stan and Kyle and wiping the mind of the Planetarium owner. The second time by being a more overt sociopath in "Best Friends Forever." Kenny was killed by angels so he can lead Heaven's army against the forces of Hell and prevent armageddon, but is revived in a vegetative state by the hospital. Cartman is the one fighting to get Kenny unplugged, inadvertently allowing him to save the world, because he wants Kenny dead so he can inherit his Sony PSP.

Accidental Hero / int_e7e37776	comment	In the Firefly episode "Jaynestown", Jayne is idolized by the citizens of a small town who herald him as the hero who robbed their oppressor and gave them the money. What the locals do not know is that the robbery was just that: a robbery. Jayne had every intention of keeping the money, but his ship was damaged, and he had to throw the money out the window in order to escape. In fact, he was so determined to keep that money that he actually threw his partner out of the ship first. The spurned partner returns, minus an eye, and reveals the sordid truth, but this does not stop a local man from taking a shotgun blast meant for Jayne. There's even a song that the locals composed in celebration of his "heroics," an excerpt of which can be found on the quote page. Jayne also denounces heroes in and of themselves in a fit of grief after said townsman is killed, saying there's no people like that. "There's just people like me."

He's mortified... but then he notices a woman in one room is passing out from a heart attack, prompting him to run into the store and find her, rapidly giving her chest compressions and mouth to mouth, resuscitating her. Fellow patrons praise Quagmire for knowing CPR... to which he responds "What the hell is CPR?" Later in the episode, Peter Griffin — having recently become blind from nickel poisoning — casually strolls into the Drunken Clam, completely unaware that it's up in flames. Horace happens to be trapped inside from fallen pillar, and his pleas for Peter to grab his hand and pull — even as Peter doesn't understand why ("Jeez, Horace, you been drinking?") — prove successful, with Peter managing to unknowingly rescue him and get him out to safety.

Accidental Hero / int_eb5d7301	comment	Amphibia: In the second season, Grime, Sasha Waybright, and his soldiers lead a coup against King Andrias. Only to discover that Andrias was actually a mad tyrant and conqueror wearing the facade of The Good King. Though this ends up being massively deconstructed, as Anne and her team stop the toad rebellion, King Andrias regains control of Newtopia, and Anne gives him the music box. Allowing him to finally start his multiversal conquest. Played much straighter with Anne's other friend, Marcy Wu. In the episode "The Second Temple", while they were searching for Anne, Marcy showed the Plantars some cute animal videos on her phone while Anne's gemstone was still charging. Thinking they were in danger, Anne hastily takes back the gemstone just before it finishes charging, leaving it only partially charged. This would later prove to be a good thing in "True Colors" when King Andrias drops Sprig to his supposed death, causing Anne to activate her Calamity form, with Marcy taking advantage of the distracted King Andrias to save Sprig. Anne's connection with the gemstone saved herself, her family on a few occasions, and Earth by defeating Andrias in their second duel. And finally, Anne's connection with the gemstone was the key to unlocking Sasha and Marcy's Calamity Powers and saving Amphibia, meaning that Marcy practically atoned for her mistakes and saved Earth, Amphibia, and, to a lesser extent, the entire Multiverse by complete accident. Plus, as revealed in "All In", Marcy's cheerful, bubbly personality and kindness towards Andrias deeply moved him during their first meeting. He convinced the Core to spare her life by sending her and her friends on their temple quest to protect her from being killed, both effectively saving her and unintentionally setting the prophecy in motion instead of undoing it like they wanted.
