Super Hero Fantasy

The idea of being a super hero never really occurred to me growing up.  I think it is a common misconception that every kid dreams of being a super hero.  I mean, look at Batman, what kid honestly wants to be a lonely old man who's only enjoyment in life is dressing up like a bat and fighting crime.  And who expects no reward in the end for his heroic acts.  No kid wants all that responsibility, heck, most heroes hate the responsibility given to them, except for Iron Man.  No, i believe every kid wants to have super powers, like super speed or flight.  But they don't want the responsibility that comes with super speed and flight.  Sure the idea of saving a baby from a burning building always comes to mind when imagining one has super powers, but imagining one has to save every baby from every burning building they can manage because of some sense of heroic duty never comes to mind.  No kid dreams of being awoken at 3 in the morning to stop a mugging every night, because people can't learn to not go down the one alley that muggers frequent.  Kid's dream of having super powers so they can do what they want with them, all i ever wanted the ability to fly for was so i could go anywhere in the world, not so i could stop someone from jumping off of a bridge.  Sure, doing so would get me the key to the city and a smooch from the pretty lady mayor, but only the first time.  After the twentieth, i'd think people were doing it just to meet me, and as flattering as that is, i'd prefer to just run into them at wawa.  I believe kids just want super powers like adults want power, something that gives them an advantage over other people.  the only difference between the two is kids are more creative with the types of powers.  (Disclaimer: Iron Man is the exception to everything i have just said.)
