But if he had stayed on Krypton, he wouldn’t have any powers, so it took an event to activate it, which isn’t any different than the other scenarios.
Batman was born rich, so he already had the potential to be batman, but it took the murder of his parents to set him on his path.
Really Spiderman is the odd one out.
Spider-man literally started as a pro wrestler who used his powers and a costume to make money
He was costumed and super-powered first, but heroic only after his uncle was killed. (By a thief whom Spidey let get away, since the victim was the wrestling promoter who cheated him out of his first earnings.)
I thought he had powers because he was born on Krypton under a red sun, and all Kryptonians gain superhuman powers when exposed to a yellow sun.

Spidey’s parents and his uncle who helped raise him are all dead/murdered. All three are orphans, so that all cancels out. :-).
Peter Parker only became spider-man once his uncle was killed, that set him on the path to use his “great power” with “great responsibility.”

True, true. I guess I was thinking of the spider bite, not the trauma.
