So if I understand right, they don't necessairly need to be fighters but must act and support heroic deeds, right?

For example, I have two characters in one of my stories which I consider Pure Good. The first one is the main protagonist, a detective who does everything she can to make the world a better place, she is not really a fighter (physically) but that doesn't mean she don't do heroic and pure things. She has empathy for many strangers who are in trouble and does everything to help them, she helps her friends and even forgives the murderer of her parents. The other one is her boyfriend, who was a misthreated soul because he was smart and knows much about technics. He again, is not a fighter, but a computer and hacker specialist, who helps everyone he can.

So, there is one question again, because it's a thing I somehow never really see in movies or other media or that I read in Heroes Wiki. Can a Pure Good Hero also be a "Heroic Criminal"? I mean not like "greatly illegal stuff" but something different. Let me explain. In the story with the detective, I planned a part where both of them are helping the best friend of the detective. They want to help her with deleting the crime list of her in the police data. They first refused to do it because it's illegal but they then did it because it's their best friend and they know she is not really an criminal. So would that be an heavy corrupting quality? Because Jester said something like, a Pure Good hero can do something criminal but they are pushed into it and don't like it. I think that's the case here in my story.

Also I just deleted two characters from one of my stories from my own "Pure Good list" because even if they seem pure good (which some heroes like Spongebob do but aren't) they aren't it. Because the first killed the villains and not only in self defense and is very aggressive in nature and the other, despite not killing the villains, giving one a fate worse than death out of revenge because he killed his love interest. So yeah....not Pure Good.
