Did Shakespeare have no heroes only heroines?

Shakespeare's plays contain both heroes and heroines. Shakespeare is said to not have heroes in his comedies because of the significant role the lead female characters (like Rosalind or Viola) play. However, in histories like Henry V or Henry VI Part I, King Henry V and Talbot are clearly heroes. In the tragedies as well, characters like Lear and Othello are "tragic heroes". In one critic's opinion, one thing Shakespeare aimed for in his comedies was to honor the qualities of Queen Elizabeth. Whichever critic had this idea has forgotten that Queen Elizabeth died when Shakespeare was in the middle of his writing career and that he wrote such heroic female parts as Isabella, Helena, Hermione, Paulina and Imogen after her death.
