Sounds like the perfect storyline for a woman. The idea that something should be earned might be too foreign a concept.
That's popular with all comics, not just women characters.
Superman's entire planet destroyed, orphaned
Batman parents killed in front of him
Spiderman sees his uncle killed because of him
Thor is banished and gives his life for others (movie version)
Every male superhero myth starts with tragedy. It's an inherent part of the hero myth.
