indeed, in deed

Indeed or indeed ( one word ) means in truth or in reality, sometimes used for effect or emphasis--
"A friend in need is a friend indeed."
Did you indeed see a monster under the bed?

In deed or in deed ( two words ) means ( in ) action or performance--
Try to be considerate in deed, as well as in speech.
He is always polite, in word and in deed.

Now that you know that, you can say--
"If he were as brave in deed as he is in words, he would be a superhero indeed."
