Batman, for example.   I could wander the streets on foot at night for years and not encounter a mugging in progress or a convenience story robbery.   And since no sane mugger is going to try to mug The Batman, how does he manage always to be at the wrong place at the right time if he's just an extraordinary normal with no superpowers?</blockquote>
