In one scene of the movie Superman, Clark Kent is upset after a football game in which he was reduced to being a manager. He possesses supernatural powers yet must hide them from peers who don't accept him because he is not a star, only a team manager. Kent's father slips an arm around the soon-to-be Superman and says, "Son, you are here for a special reason. I don't know what that reason is, but I know one thing—it's not to score touchdowns."
