I don't think this happens enough, honestly. Most of the times this sort of thing comes up the hero simply doesn't try out (see The Spectacular Spider Man, for instance).
I can't find the entry for when superheroes try out for a sports team of some sort, and they end up not making it because it's unfair for the other athletes that they're just naturally stronger/faster than them. Which ignores than in real life, there's tons of people who are just naturally stronger than other people without trying, and poses the question of where you draw the line.
