Complexo de Inferioridade: http://www.infoescola.com/psicologia/complexo-de-inferioridade/
Hero Complex
Carl Gustav Jung, Swiss psychiatrist and founder of analytical psychology, found that the phenomenon of fragmented identity can result in what he referred to as complexes.
There are various categories of complexes. Each category is rooted in a particular archetype. Major categories include: father, mother, brother, sister, hero, child and animus or anima.
An archetype is a generic, idealized model of a person, object, or concept from which similar instances are derived, copied, patterned, or emulated. In psychology, an archetype is a model of a person, personality, or behavior.
In Jung's psychological framework archetypes are innate, universal prototypes for ideas and may be used to interpret observations. A group of memories and interpretations associated with an archetype is a complex, e.g. a mother complex associated with the mother archetype.
Indeed, the contents of complexes are as varied as human experiences. We can have complexes about love, status, intelligence, competition winning, being recognized, money, food, addictions, honor, and so on, and so forth. Each complex produces a "knee-jerk" reaction to certain sets of circumstances.
The Hero Complex is an inherent desire to help others. It is a compulsion to help make their world right. NOT OFFICIALLY A DISORDER OR DISEASE, there are an increasing number of people who 'suffer' from it.
Comic book heroes also suffer from this disorder, having the need to help others. May also be associated with Zoological Altruism- Instinctive cooperative behavior that is detrimental to the individual but contributes to the survival of the species.
Those who suffer from it tend to feel like they do not understand what is wrong with them, or feel that the current life they live is insufficient. For most, the need will ebb and flow. There will be days where the sufferer will question why they have had the role thrust upon them, or will withdraw and think themselves into a quiet oblivion.
Many believe that they could do more, if they could find a superpower, or utilize magic, or be rich. They wait quietly, and without detection, believing that they will receive these 'powers'. They also often ask the question 'Is this really enough?' or something similar. Those with this condition make excellent leaders, and often give good advice. They are very loyal and dependable, and when given a challenge will almost always find a way to complete it; if they see it as a fun challenge. (Will often become hostile about 'drudgery work' -- i.e. cleaning toilets unless it is presented as something challenging.)
In fulfilling these desires, they will take on a more benevolent behavior, and 'unlock' the true meanings of themselves. This is the true need of the sufferer of the Hero Complex.
Villain Complex
A few of those who suffer from the Hero Complex may begin to turn 'toward the evil side'. The need to help becomes the want to hurt. Those that are closest will be pushed away, and a secret longing to create a quiet oblivion begins to form. Instead of using powers for good, they begin to think about how to use their powers for evil purposes.
