Most the time but there is a difference: Stories can and have existed without a Big Bad but a Heavy is only for a character that no story could exist if that particular character didn't exist. Some stories don't have an exact Heavy because no origin is given where the protagonist is given a motivation or was already on their way to be a hero with no indication one person set them to start said story. The main recurring enemy is an archenemy but not a Heavy unless they literally are the sole reason the character's story began due to their actions setting them on their path.
