Fan Casting Samaritan Syndrome

Description of Samaritan Syndrome:

You guessed it: With Great Power Comes Great Responsibility. Whereas Muggles can "pass the buck" in terms of the responsibility for recycling, civic duty, or taking the government to task, Superheroes can't.

The more responsibility they feel, the more Guilt Complex they suffer for "failing" to be responsible.
