Standard Job requirement for the Hero Secret Service. A heroic character wants to do something dangerous. Dangerous as in "you might be Killed Off for Real, or at the very least, maimed" peril. His less focused-on (and thus implicitly more disposable) friend (possibly The Atoner) will knock him out and go to do the dirty work himself. Cue the Heroic Sacrifice, or more commonly, Redemption Equals Death. Often preceded by a More Hero Than Thou dispute, or deliberately pre-empting such a dispute. Examples of More Expendable Than You include:

Usually part of an Only I Can Kill Him scenario -- The Hero is too important to waste on this minor sacrifice preceding the big showdown. Alternatively, it could be needed to avert Shoot the Medic First. Puts the "Cannon Fodder" in We Are Team Cannon Fodder. Contrast Martyr Without a Cause. Examples of More Expendable Than You include:
