Is rocky an American hero? (Victor)

Honestly I don't think so. I have many reasons why I don't think rocky Bolboa was an "American hero". Why would we consider him an American hero? What has he done to the United States or Have a name for himself besides making great movies. Yea you can say his movies are great Americana but I don't see why we would consider him a hero. An great example of a hero would be Martin Luther King Jr. He's done and changed a lot in the United States that if it wasn't for him, segrigation would most likely STILL be happening. He got  killed for this. That's what I consider an American Hero. So NO
