The word ‘will’ is effective after ‘hero’ because this implies that a person incline on doing something great or brave. They have also used ‘will’ before rise which also sets out that someone has a determination on rising. The caption makes the audience want to watch this because in my opinion they would like to know “where this person is going to rise to?” also the words ‘will rise’ are monosyllabic this makes the caption more powerful as they are two short, sharp, and straightforward words.
