Hero or Hoard?

Imagine a scenario with an angry hoard of zombies and a hero with a chainsaw or shotgun fighting off the flesh eaters.  Which character do you identify most with?

Based on my survey of a few people today I am guessing with a moderate degree of confidence that you too see yourself as the hero.

A pretty smart high schooler presented the scenario to me this morning and he logically pointed out that, while we may identify more with the hero, the ultimate reality is that it is far more likely that we would all be in the hoard.
