Is there a trope describing how random, destructive, life-threatening events are far more likely to occur when a character who is capable of saving the lives of those in danger is present? For example, take the scene in the first Superman film where the Lois Lane's helicopter gets snagged by a cable and Clark just happens to be walking out of the building in time to save them?
I hope I'm explaining this right. It kind of reminds of Good Thing You Can Heal, just in a more meta sense.
