This rule does get broken occasionally, though. Most Rankers aren't even allowed to get close to the testing areas of the Inner Tower. That's why overpowered characters like Yuri and Lero-Ro rarely make an appearance on the front lines and often act with severe restrictions.
Any crossover team-ups between the heroes will usually Hand Wave away the possibility of the stronger hero making any substantial impact in the badass normal's livelihood. More often than not, the problem is so integral to their own works that most readers simply accept it. In that case, it simply won't ever be solved - even if the hero's superpowered friend could fix it at once. This is especially true if the hero is so thoroughly associated with a common everyday problem, characteristic or element that solving it would damage their franchise. Often, this is avoided by simply keeping the demi-Gods of comic continuity out of the less talented heroes' homes altogether. and that would make for a pretty dull storyline. While this hero can learn to become a part of the everyday reality of his not-so-normal colleagues, and even fight alongside them, it's much more difficult to do the other way around: most of the time, the more powerful heroes could easily fix any problem the weaker heroes have in a heartbeat.
This gives the writers plenty of opportunity to develop their heroes in contrast to their super-powered neighbors, while at the same time being able to focus on the more mundane issues taking place in the hero's own backyard. This commonly happens with Badass Normal heroes, who are defined as such because they live in a Shared Universe of wizards, literal supermen, flying tank armored guys, cyborgs or everything in between. This is because their powers would instantly solve the problems of the weaker hero(es), thus failing to preserve drama and cutting the plot short. This trope comes into play when two or more characters who are on the same team have blatantly different levels of power and live in the same universe, but the stronger of them always stays out of anything the weaker character(s) have trouble with. It's simply a fact that some characters are more powerful than others.
