fostering the strength that he/she did, could not help but achieve greatness.

This is narcissism. You can't help but achieve greatness because of who you are. Exactly what I don't like about so many modern stories :-D

No, it isn't narcissism. I didn't say that the hero in question believes that they cannot fail or do wrong. The argument is that "heros" in all stories share common traits. They are the same traits that we admire when we look at people around us. Inner strength. Dedication to the truth. Willingness to sacrifice. Desire to make things better for the world as a whole. Generally speaking, a true narcissist shares none of those traits.
