Yes.
No. Who says they get to pick and choose who and why and how and how much they help. They should do everything to their potential to help everyone. If a hero has healing powers, then they should heal civilians, not just allies during a battle.
No, it's pretty dumb, same with the "To catch them when they fall." line in Morrison's first JLA arc.
It's an unrealistic idea centered around heroes only being there to punch villains.
You could have other kinds of heroes who were using their powers in other ways to do good things. Someone with high power and precision telekenesis building lots of low-income housing in a day, or someone with the power to regenerate donating an organ every week, or even have someone like Superman go in and stop ISIS from killing the men and enslaving women.
The only reason superheroes don't do that is because it's difficult. Not for them, but for the writer. Doing those kinds of things don't create easy, predictable conflicts and it does change the world, and they don't have the imagination or the balls to think about what kinds of stories those changes could involve.
Why does a human stop being a member of humanity and an Earthling just because he has superpowers?
yes because one someone goes around fixing everyones problems people become lazy, why build a house when superman can do it for you, why be a policeman when a hero can do it for you, why research into diseases when we can just use Wonder Womans healing ray.
People with shit tons of money think they're better than everyone else. What do you think super powers would do to someone?
Do you need a ladder to climb yourself back up that slippery slope?
The kryptonian and his idealistic fantasies. People are being kept one way or another. He is simply abdicating responsibility for it by leaving it up to others. It is just as well. He doesn't have the nerve to make the hard decisions.
Just because you say it's slippery slope doesnt make it true. What do you think is going to happen when you ask them to do everything?
