hero

one falsely presuming that their own actions are far more cool/significant that they actually are, often deserving the song "Heroes" (originally performed by David Bowie and later by the Wallflowers) to be played/sung as a sarcastic theme song as they walk away.

Jack and Jill are sitting at a coffee shop enjoying polite conversation. A pop-collar-frat-boy-looking hero appears. Jack: Can I help you? Hero: (staring intently at Jill) I just wanted to say whazzzup and see how y'all were doing. Jill: Go away, you're creeping me out. Hero: Well I'll see you kids later then. (turns and walks away, obviously trying to strut as he does so) Jill: (sarcastically singing) We could be heroes... Jack: (following suit) ...for just one day.
