Some people view Che Guevara as a hero as others viewed him as a cold blooded killing machine. The poor people loved Che because he fought for there justice and to bring more attention to the poverty stricken parts of Cuba. Che's ways of doing things where very controversial because he was a violent man that was not afraid to kill or fight for what he believed in. This was a good thing, but also a very bad thing. It was a good thing because Che was willing to fight for what he believed in he wanted to promote equal rights. This was a bad thing because Che's ways of changing things involved murder, backstabbing, and corruption. Che was an rebel who many thought of as a super-hero, though some saw him as a criminal.

Guevera's life came to an end on October 9th, 1967, when Bolivian soldiers, trained, and guided by CIA operatives, executed him. Guevara's death stll remains til this day a historic event.
