If my Captain America did that, I wouldn't like him much, either. Mine's a pretty good guy.
Personally, I think you're definitely hero material, both of you. (I'm sure the rest of your family, too, but I haven't met them yet! But if they've got you two, they must be good heroes.) Especially if you saved the world.
I know Spider-Man but who's Teddy and who're the Young Avengers?
