Yes, a hero is a kind of sandwich. But a hero is usually the main character in a story or adventure, or a person who has shown unusual bravery or courage — or both.
Spiderman is the hero of the comic series: he's the central character, but he also tries to be heroic by saving people from danger. But it's possible to be the hero, even if you're not "heroic." In other words, not all main characters are brave or courageous, but almost all main characters could be called the heroes of their story. It's also possible to be someone's personal hero, for stepping in and lending a hand when it's most needed. I had a teacher in high school who was my hero, because she taught me how to like myself.
