[Kon shrugs like it's no big deal mostly because to him, it isn't. For a lot of superheroes the answer is altruism, but for him, it's a little more complicated than that. He's Superman's clone, created for one purpose and one purpose alone. To be a superhero. (To be Superman.) If he doesn't have that, he doesn't have anything.
(And no matter how cool he may play things, it would be a lie to say he doesn't love helping people.)]
Because I can. I mean, flying, strength, watching bullets bounce off of me. What would be the point if I took all that and tried to be anything else? [So the strength and the invulnerability thing aren't exactly the same as Superman's, but he still has them in his own way. He can't fathom standing by watching someone hurt people while he had the ability to stop it.]
[Shrug.] It's not like superheros are the only people who do the right thing just because it's right.
