The usage of an article
This is a question from an English leaning app. The answer is B, but I think A is the correct answer. Could you give me the right answer and some explanation? Thanks.
Though he is a hero, he lacks motivation.
= ___ as he is, he lacks motivation.
A. A hero
B. Hero

Neither phrase sounds natural to me. "Heroic as he is" makes sense, but "Hero as he is" sounds awkward. "A hero as he is" just sounds wrong.
