It’s not in any dictionary I’ve looked at, but hazarding a guess, I’d say it was the process of molding somebody into a hero in the public’s eyes (deserved or not). Kind of the opposite of “vilification”.

Heroifying certain political figures is one of the most common methods used in order to make the governing experience a convenient one. Because, when a ‘political figure’ becomes a ‘mythic figure’, whatever he stands for naturally becomes self-evident – and thus inarguable.

Due to its highly manipulative aims, heroification is a degenerative process. It fosters status quo in the image of a mythic figure, and discourages any kind of critical thinking.

In that sense, it is a typical form of mind control implementation.

Sounds like the process by which we turn ordinary people into heroes (whether they deserve it or not). A good example of this is sports stars who win a few games and not only become celebrities, but become regarded as heroes for a particular town, city or state.
