Actually, it's not that he's a superhero in general, it's just that he's been cast in that role given the "orientation" of the world he's in. I'm sure that in a different world with a different social climate he'd play a different role...

That is surprisingly correct, since I never thought of it that way, and it still turns out so. For example, in the plotting that exists for DW1 he's treated as a kind of honorary Herald, because that's the closest analogue to his role back home. The societal framework around the concept of "Herald" certainly affects his behavior and his choices. (Not limiting them, though.)
