Who are your heroes?

Excluding politics, sports and Albert Einstein, who are your biggest heroes? One of mine is the late, great Dr. Stephen Hawkings. Another, despite the fact that I don't actually care for iCrap products, is Steve Wozniak. Note: I would have said Winston Churchill but politicians are excluded.
- I would love to change the world, but they won’t give me the source code.
I'm surprised nobody has said Chris Maunder & co. As tongue in check as that sounds, my life as a software developer has been significantly, and in positive ways, influenced by the existence of Code Project. While that can be said of many people (99% of them are dead), there's something to be said about a hero that is relevant.

Everybody is like Tesla is the best, Einstein is the best! Nobody (I mean no laymen) ever invoke the name of Landau.. :(( Yet, when I studied physics, there was always a Landau theorem about whatever topic we were studying! :o

I wonder how different the world would be if people like Landau were thought of as celebrities?
