I believe Edward Bloom was a hero. Although you can argue he was not there for William, William believes his father was a hero. All the stories William herd about Edward made him imagine what he was like and how he did things. I think Edward Bloom was a hero strictly because of the stories that were told of him. Not to mention other superhero like things about him like his birth.
