What is a gift? A gift is something which is given to the undeserving. It is not a burden when it is used for altruistic reasons, it is a burden only when the gift is used for ends other than itself. This means that in order to fully maximize a gift, you must pretend that it does not belong to you. Because it really does not belong to you otherwise it becomes your nature.
The gift is no more a means to an end insofar that the gift is not an end itself. For example, if you given a gift of the gab, you must not keep talking to persuade people for no given ends but ends you deemed positive.
There are two types of people whom believed that a gift or talent must be sharpened, retooled and molded. One whom believes that values is used to harness a gift, the second is believed that the gift must be pushed to it's potential regardless of it's ends itself.
If a gift is outside of itself, this means the gift must be molded for ends beyond the entity otherwise it will become nothing more than instrumental. This means a person has a gift and not the person is a gift.
Insofar from this perspective, the person can be "encultured" to used it's gifts to ends that it deems positive- therefore the gift is left untouched but person is changed 2) the gift should then be molded and given a proper form for the use of larger context.
A person always has a gift and not anything else. Hence from this perspective, the person whom have the gift have as much agency as the person next to him. Hence this means that the person with the gift of the gab has also the right and not just the duty to do things whom he/she believed that is against it's own volition.
Insofar, the question is: If Spiderman sees someone in need and does not help the person but instead head home for breakfast with the family, does it make any less a Spiderman. The nature of the Spiderman does not always supersedes the need to use it's power to save other's all the time. He might not be so great a man, but perhaps it makes him more of a "man".
Spiderman is stereotype and stereotype is a public property. But Peter Parker has a job to do as a photographer and not just pretend that the whole world surrounds him doing a thankless job. The gift is a public property insofar that it does not infringe his right to perform his duties to people in his private sphere.
The public hence have no right nor have any claim on his gift insofar that he uses his agency in a manner which have performing his public duty to the best of his ability and not over and beyond his private self. Any charge on his private gift is nothing more than abuse of the claim of greater good for greatest number of people and which unless He is THE Spiderman, he is unlikely to lay claim on the sole possession of save Everyone ALL the time.
Spiderman does not exist because there is no such thing as a Spiderman. Period.
