Nickelbackfan,
No one is harassing you. This is a language learning site for not only those trying to learn and improve their Spanish, but also for those trying to learn English. In that regard, one of the rules (which you can see for yourself above by clicking on the blue "rules" or on the thread that has been hanging around on this page of threads) is this one:
Use correct capitalization, grammar, spelling, and punctuation. We are a language site.
You keep saying it is not "required," but that's a matter of semantics. Are storm troopers going to come to your house and arrest you? No. Might you be banned from this site? Quite possibly.
Rac1 is one of the moderators on this site. Once you've been here long enough, you will realize that she is the furthest thing from a "harasser." She's trying to have you respect the rules of the site for the benefit of EVERYONE.
In the end, that's really what this is about - respect. Please follow the rules, including using correct capitalization, grammar, spelling, and punctuation.
As for your question, my audio course has used both "hubo" and "habia" in virtually identical contexts, so I believe you can get by very well using either if you're not sure which one is the "most" correct.
Everybody needs a hero.
Everybody is best translated to: todo el mundo. Needs refers bach to that person (among the people) so you would put: necesita. A hero is un héroe in Spanish, you can also use un modelo a seguir.
So, the sentence would be: todo el mundo necesita un héroe/un modelo a seguir.
You can also say it like this:
Todo hombre necesita de un héroe
If you type the sentence into the translator and click Translate, you will get three machine translations. Choose the one you like best, or ask questions here if there's something specific that you don't understand.
