Wouldn't being an outcast make you even more attracted to heroes of your "outcast class?" Because, presumably, the hero had to overcome so much more for society to recognize them.

Depending on the era, we had Einstein, Turing, feinman. Kids my age had Gates (literally the richest man on the planet for my entire formative years), Jobs, Bill Nye. Little further along are the myth busters crew, musk...

We have plenty of heroes to pick from :)
