Oddly, this reminds me of the trope in a lot of fiction where the main protagonist has a super twisted back story.

It is super tiring and doesn't seem to actually be necessary or informative.

You must not be a DC Comics fan? It's often useful to the plot for the protagonist to be separated completely from normal concerns (and support systems). In our crowded modern world, the hero's journey can't really be into the wild. Of course we'd all like less hackneyed plots, but it's not a perfect world...

I have grown rather bored with the plots.

Granted... Comic plots, in general, are way to dependent on exceptionalism for my tastes nowadays.
