the answer to 18 is Star Fox

This one should be the easiest!

Some might say i've had a tough career.

I got my powers from a truely great man,

Only to have them stolen from me.

I gained another power, more power than I ever

had. But that soon faded. I struggled, even turned

to the sauce. If it wasn't for my friends I would have

died. But now, I've got a new lease on life. I'm gonna

become the great hero I always wanted. Or die trying.

Who am I?
