Oh, I disagree. As the main focus of a story, it would indeed, be fairly tedious. But as an element of it, I'd go as far as to say its not merely interesting, but really quite desirable. How else do you get to illustrate that the player heroes *are* above average?
Now, I quite like stories where the characters are (at least to begin with) not much above average, so it doesn't matter so much to me. But its often the case that a sense of the demographics enhances the story/narrative, whatever power level you're playing at.
