One of my writing professors is a fellow believer of the notion that everything is cliche. Almost everything has been done before, and redone many times over.

The question is, can you write it in a way that your characters are still unique and interesting? Lots of things can be similar, but still different, and entertaining. In comics many characters are based off one another, but are still their own characters.

Take Hawkeye, and Green Arrow for example. They both use a bow, and are both super heroes, but they aren't exactly the same. The same can be said for plots.

TL;DR There is a reason they are called tropes.
