To avoid nit-picks with comic book fans, let's say we have a super-duper hero named Omegaman who can hear any cry for help and know exactly how to fix every bad situation. This guy can cure cancer, whoop all the bad guys, and do everything necessary in just seconds.
But there is a lot of bad going on in the world and after a few years of having gained his miraculous powers, Omegaman finds now he has no life other than fixing things for a lot of idiots that bring bad times on themselves, mostly.
So Omegaman sneaks off to a desert island incognito and decides to drink some Margaritas and get a badly needed tan.
An old fan stumbles on Omegaman one day and accuses him of dereliction of duty, to which Omegaman replies, 'I gotta have a life too, buckaroo'.
Because Omegaman has the ability to help everyone, is he obligated to do so regardless of the cost to him personally in time and effort and lack/loss of a private life?
