They kind of did that already in DC with Lucifer Morningstar but it was less he was a 'hero' more his role was a punisher for those that sinned which is a more interesting take that rather than being evil that wanted to destroy the world he was the jailer tasked with punishing the evil.
Villians can usually fall into two categories, those that believe they are righteous despite the actions they take thinking it's the only way to save everyone and those only there for personal gratification and enrichment. Just saying 'thinks of himself as a Hero' isn't deep and isn't new. It just shows how beginner level your writing is.
Which is an omnitroll position, guaranteed to piss off philosemites and antisemites alike.
I don't know how common a belief it is exactly, but I suspect many antisemites would be right there with you. I've seen a lot of people who are uncompromisingly critical of jews and "the powers that be" in general, who also express that we're responsible for letting our societies reach their current state.
There may not be much we can do individually in the face of such a massive machine, but it's generally understood that we're all tacitly accepting an unacceptable state of affairs simply by choosing to remain safe and comfortable in our homes while that state of affairs persists.
That can be said for many, many villains. Doesn't mean it's deep or significant.
I get so tired of these bozos.
Imagine if someone did a "Hitler is the hero of his own story." I'd say Satan, but they actually like Satan being the hero.
