You don't have to just sit around and wait. You just have to figure out what you're good at, and use it. Like...
[He pauses, trying to take his thoughts and put them into words, when all of a sudden his eyes light up]
Okay, so, let's say there's this one guy, he's got all of the things that you think a hero has. He's strong, he can see through walls, he can fly, he can do anything. But then there's another guy, who can't do any of that, but he's really smart. He can do math, he can do science, he knows everything.
And...and there's a bridge, and it's collapsing, right when everyone's on the road. Everyone. It's a really, really bad bridge, okay? Now the first guy, he can fly in and hold it up, and save everyone who's stuck there. But the second guy, he can design newer, better bridges, bridges that won't fall apart like that. Both of them are saving people, they're just saving them in different ways.
So, about what you said... you're right, you can't punch poverty or injustice until it goes away. But one person can punch the bad guys, while everyone else works on all the other stuff. So it's not like super strength or laser eyes are useless, you just need to know when to use them.
