Putting the "HERO" in Superhero

Awhile back I was running a Mutants and Masterminds campaign.  One of our players--Todd (famous for his Toddisms)-- was playing a superhero similar to Ghost Rider.  For Todd that's about as close to Captain Marvel as you are likely to get.  In Fantasy campaigns Todd almost always plays the Thief.  Sorry, that's my 1st Edition roots showing through-- Rogue.  To shake things up he might play an Assassin.  In our D&D games there is another Alignment on the Alignment Wheel somewhere between Chaotic Neutral and Chaotic Evil . . . that alignment is Todd:

Well, some important person like the Mayor's Daughter or something had been kidnapped and taken off down the highway in the villain's speeding car.  Todd's Superhero gave chase, trying to head off the villains or cause them pull over.  Instead, his pursuit caused the Villain's to lose control of their car and flip it over on the highway.  As Todd pulled up he saw that all the Villains and the Mayor's daughter were lying unconscious in a pool of blood.  I asked Todd the standard GM question, "What do you do?"  His response led to the Toddism that best sums up Todd's average character's response to many situations: "There's nothing I can do... I drive on by."

The other players looked on stunned. "You don't perform CPR?"... "You don't pick her up and rush her to the hospital?"... "You don't even hold a mirror in front of her mouth to see if she's breathing?"

Todd's response, "Like I said, there's nothing I could do."

In many future games Todd's various characters' typical lack of compassion often leads to some player remarking "Just drive on by".  It may not be the most humorous  quote on it's own... but it is perfect shorthand for summing up a situation and the memory of Todd's "Superhero" making such a choice was priceless.  For Todd, it was the least he could do . . . and never let it be said Todd didn't do the least he could do!
