*** Uh...it seems to mean something like the Superman argument where he has to understand people's suffering to want to save them; otherwise, he's just some guy. Of course, this ignores the fact that Superman is an alien with superpowers, so of course he'd have to make an extra effort to identify with humanity when rogue supers come out to play, rather than join the bad guys who are more like him than the Muggles he protects.
*** Or that by keeping a stiff upper lip approach and not admitting weakness, he can't empathise with the people he's purporting to protect and distancing himself from them, as well as from her. Fairly straightforward, it's similar to the accusations leveled at [[James Bond (film)|James Bond]] in [[GoldenEye (film)|GoldenEye]].
