My point is that the genre doesn't really have tropes when it comes to powers. Everything is on the table, no matter how ridiculous it sounds (and getting tired instead of hurt unless/until you fall unconscious seems conceptually simple compared to regular regeneration like Wolverine, getting tired while using a force field like Sue Richards, or increasing your total HP by using slugs which eat things and return the energy back to you a la Maggot, or increasing your total HP by getting angry like the Hulk). Comics are weird, and they try to make all powers unique with twists. The only tropes are in the story progressions or art styles.
