Martin Luther was the first person to call out the Catholic Church for its corruption and he led the movement away from them. Because of this, today there are many different types of protestant religions, and the Catholic Church is no longer all-powerful.
Martin Luther is a hero because he put others justice and the truth of the church in front of his own problems. He knew he would get in a lot of trouble for what he did and continued to stand up for the people and God. Even when he was faced by the superior of the church, he stuck by his word and didn't faulted.
