Many of us will be familiar with the saying "with great power comes great responsibility", especially if one is a fan of the comic book hero, Spider-Man aka Peter Parker who did not actively seek fame or want to be a hero but was thrust with civic responsibility.

The reference is in fact drawn from the adage noblesse oblige, in which one in a position of nobility, power or influence is expected to be a paragon of exemplary conduct and assume public responsibilities.
