That's always a problem: after you defeat the most evil supervillian 
the WW has ever known, are a celebrity for "living" your whole life, 
are alternatively villified and deified in the media, what do you do 
for an encore? Heck, how do you fill your time? What do you do after 
you know what the purpose of your life is, and you've finished that? 

I suppose first, you write your memoirs, which may be what we're 
reading. 

After that, the only analog I can come up with is JFK, Jr., so I 
guess you start a magazine, try to carve out a niche as the reigning 
crown prince of the WW, and start a dynasty to serve the public good. 
And, sadly, die young, which is another thread altogether.
