- "Packie: Francis. You.. you saved my life. That car could have killed both of us.
Francis: No.. it could have killed me. I'm ready to have my life taken at any time, if it means you will be able to continue yours safely. Your life matters more than mine. I put yours in higher regard than mine. That's my job as your loving big brother..." - ―Packie and Francis
Wisconsin's Greatest Hero is the first half of the non-canon fifth special of Sibling Rivalries, part of Season 6.
Plot[]
Francis saves Packie's life after nearly being hit by a truck, and officially solidifies himself as the so-called "best brother ever".

Trivia[]
- GTA Nerd deems this comic the worst of the series (and his least favorite) after looking back a few years later. He regretted how he made Packie such a jerk obsessed with popularity, which was never the kind of character he is. He thinks the next comic is not as bad, although Packie cries a lot in that comic, which also made him feel bummed out when re-reading the comic.
- GTA Nerd compares his opinion to the comic (years after writing it) to The Simpsons Season 9 episode The Principal and the Pauper", which is considered one of the, if not the worst, episode of the series even by series creator Matt Groening. This episode was noted as the point where The Simpsons jumped the shark and declined in quality, due to the episode ruining the beloved character of Seymour Skinner. The episode had such bad reception that now the episode (and effect on Skinner's character) is agreed to be non-canon by fans and Groening himself. GTA Nerd agreed to make this "Wisconsin's Greatest Hero" story arc non-canon to this series as well in a similar way.
- The events of this SR comic were confirmed to be non-canon to the series in later comic "Packie The Prankster". At the end of this comic, Packie lashes out on his friends and family, being so bad that it brought the police over to take him away. However, in the later comic, when Principal Leone is looking at Packie's records, this event was not mentioned at all. GTA Nerd will not mention the events of WGH and BFL in future comics to prove the events never happened.

- The plot of the comic is loosely inspired by the iCarly episode "iSaved Your Life".
- Despite Joel appearing in this comic with a supporting, non-antagonistic role, his arrest at the end of "Get Rec'd!" was never mentioned, so he was likely released so he could attend school. However, this comic is non-canon anyway, so Joel could still be serving time in the series' normal continuity.
- Second time Packie is shown crying in the series, although for the first time these are actual tears of sadness. ("Like Father, Like Sons (And Daughter)")
- The Main Street Bowling Alley from "Like Father, Like Sons (And Daughter)" was shown in this comic.
- When this comic is combined with its second part "Brothers For Life", it equals a total of 35 pages which makes this special the second longest comic in the series after "Straight Outta Green Bay" with 38.
- Third comic to have "Wisconsin" in the title after "Hello, Wisconsin!" and "ApRiL fOoLs DaY: wIsCoNsIn StYlE!".
