Whether you should use heros or heroes depends on what you’re talking about.

  • Heroes is the plural form of the noun hero, meaning “a courageous or admirable person.” Heroes can also be the protagonists in books, films, plays, myths, etc.
  • Heros is the plural form for a less common definition of “hero,” a type of sandwich from the United States also known as a “sub.”
  • Heros—always with a capital “H” and an “s” on the end—is also a genus of fish native to South America (e.g., Heros notatus), or a proper name (e.g., Heros of Arles).

Heroes, heros, and Heros are homophones: they sound the same, but have different meanings.
