Line 8:
** Bob suffers from trauma stemming from how a young girl died when he chose to do the "logical thing" and call for help rather than dive in to save the day himself. Now, whenever he comes across someone who needs his help, his fears of history repeating itself keep him from ignoring them.
* '''Inverted''': Bob never passes up an opportunity to be a [[Jerkass]] to people.
* '''Subverted''': Bob acts far too heroic for his own good... but then he [[What the Hell, Hero?|refuses]] to rescue a kidnapped little girl.
* '''Double Subverted''': The overwhelming guilt causes Bob to rescue her later on.
* '''Parodied''': Bob is ''[[G -Rated Drug|literally]]'' unable to stop acting heroic, complete with trying to quit and a [[Cold Turkeys Are Everywhere]] sequence.
* '''Zig Zagged''': Bob acts far too heroic for his own good... but then he refuses to rescue a kidnapped little girl. The overwhelming guilt causes Bob to rescue her later on... but it turns out that that was her sister - the original little girl is still trapped! Bob goes off to rescue her, but stops mid-step. Then he goes on anyway...
* '''Averted''': Bob never performs any more heroism than the norm.
