Line 1: {{trope}} When a hero has undergone a [[Heroic BSOD]] and the retirement is [[Ten -Minute Retirement\|longer than ten minutes]], maybe the hero failed altogether or just fell victim to their own personal demons. Whatever the reason for it the hero has been at best forgotten and is perhaps even actively despised or ridiculed, a has been or even worse a never was, but something happens and the Scrap Heap Hero rises first from the ashes and then to the occasion, showing everybody just what they once did or could have done had things gone differently. Nearly always results in [[He's Back]]. Could overlap with [[Retired Badass]], compare with [[Let's Get Dangerous]]. {{examples~~\|Examples~~}} == Film == Line 15: == Literature == * Jack Random from the ''[[Deathstalker]]'' books by [[Simon R. Green]], once a famous fighter against the tyranny of a corrupt empire he fell on hard times and was working as a janitor in a gym, sleeping in the back and subjuect to constatnt mockery and abuse form his boss. Then Owen Deathstalker showed up and gave him the figurative slap upside the head to shake him out of his misery and the Eternal Rebel was back. * The main character (The Coyote) and several others in ''In Hero Years, I'm Dead'' by Michael Stackpole. It's pretty much a major theme of the book. Line 31: [[Category:Pages Needing Wicks]] [[Category:Scrap Heap Hero]] ~~[[Category:Trope]]~~
