Power acquisition and management is also a big theme. Since it's a self - insert into the Marvel world, often the character gains some sort of power, and then has to deal with how to use it responsibly or not get corrupted by it.

A prevalent theme is the idea of changing the course of the Marvel universe. The self - insert character may have knowledge from the real world about certain events in the Marvel storyline and tries to prevent disasters or change the outcome of battles.

It adds a layer of 'what if' to the story and can make for some really engaging fanfiction.
