Some time last year, there's the show called Sky High, where it is a superhero schools consisting of mainly two types of students - sidekicks and superheroes.
There is always the distinction between them, but as the story proceeds, the sidekicks were the one who saved the day.
Drawing the theory to reality, we can see that there's this distinction that sets in nicely in the competitive environment that requires more of a result than a process, though having the right process is constantly being emphasised as well.
Mayb time can washes the strong line of seperation to a more ambiguous status.
