Well, he became a Hero twice in the past. Once in the Movie where the Sonic personality in him took over and he saved the President and Old Man Owl before dieing a Heroic death and saying "There can only be one." and a 2nd Time in the Archie Comics when Tails reprogrammed him. Although they messed up in the Comics as they then decided to recolor him and name him Shard the Metal Sonic.
