The thing about Fallen Heroes/Heroes Turned to the Darkside is that PROFESSION does not automatically = "Hero". For example, just being/having been a Police Officer or a Soldier does not *automatically mean* the character was a hero. Because of the sheer prevalence of stories and franchises where such members are and have always been corrupt. In addition, these professions have their own systems of recognizing Heroes as those who go above and beyond the call of duty.

So such characters NEED something in their (background) narrative to say they *were* considered as the "Went the Extra Mile" type to say they used to be a hero who has now fallen.

For example, Shego's backstory says that she was a member of the superhero team "Team Go", but that over time their run-ins with Evil caused her to start liking the idea of being evil. And that former heroic outlook could be glimpsed at times. Like when she chastised/mocked Drakken about "Jacking a kid's wheelchair". She did *help* them do it, but she still balked at the idea of it. It gave her a momentary pause enough to voice how low it was. Which shows she used to have values which would not have considered it. So, Fallen Hero.
