Hero's Dilemma

""Spider-Man! This is why only fools are heroes — because you never know when some lunatic will come along with a sadistic choice. Let die the woman you love... or suffer the little children! Make your choice, Spider-Man, and see how a hero is rewarded! (Spider-Man: Don't do it, Goblin!) We are who we choose to be...now, CHOOSE!"

- The Green Goblin holding Mary Jane and a tram full of innocent children hostage, forcing Spider-Man to decide whom to save first.

Dilemma or The Hard Choice. In any great story, whether fictional or real life, the hero or heroine is faced with a hard choice. In some cases, the dilemma lies in the fact that when the hero wants to achieve something that is faced with a hard choice.

It's based on Hero's Weakness if villains want to get rid of the heroes and want to know what's their weakness or who they care about more than everything in the world
