Nightedge is on a distinguished road
Default such as he/him

Are they both correct?

-Opponents such as she must not be made light of.
-Opponents such as her must not be made light of.

I see nothing wrong with the second, because 'such as' is the same as 'like', a preposition, which should be followed by the objective case, her/him/them, etc. What do native speakers think?
