Well, not to be a jerk (as I am in principle in agreement with you), but actually most superheroes seem to get power and glory by doing nothing. The X-men were natural mutants born with their abilities, Spider-man didn't 'work' to acquire the abilities he posessed, the Fantastic Four were victims of an accident and Superman did absolutely nothing to acheive his powers. In fact, I would say it may be more the exception than the rule that a superhero in comics gains his/her powers through hard work and dedication than through dumb luck or fate...

well if superman and the xman had just stayed at home they wouldnt have been very famous, so they did actually have to go out and do something. And most super heros get better/ more proficient at using their powers some even do develop new powers, which if you look at the power pools as a power and the levels not as new skills but development of base power that fits in quite nicely with actually doing stuff rather than sitting ion the train.
