Try to actually think about it. What movies fit that formula?
Iron man - no, an arrogant man built his own powers
Thor - no, an entitled boy temporarily had to cope with the absence of his powers to earn them back
The Hulk - no, he is not a great wizard, he is trying to cure himself
Captain America - you could make an argument for it, but no, he auditioned for his powers
Batman - no
Guardians of the Galaxy - no
Spider-man - OK, especially in "The Amazing Spider-man" they played the destiny card
Superman - sort-of, but he grew up with his powers
Green Lantern - yes
Daredevil - sort-of, but his wizards power is "not actually blind"
X-men - sort of, but their powers are a civil rights race analogy
Most comic book movies do not fit the boy-who-thinks-he-has-nothing-is-actually-a-great-wizard formula and those that do tend to be less successful.
