No. I'm not sure what you mean, but the sentence suggests that a superhero has the choice of either helping people or tiring them (making them tired), which doesn't make much sense. Perhaps you mean "A superhero has to help people all the time, even if he is tired"(suggesting physical fatigue) or "even if he is tired of helping" (discouraged or bored by helping)?

Thank you.

That's what I mean. Even if the sentence doesn't make much sence, is it gramatically written correctly?
A superhero has to help people all the time,

Okay, if that's what you want to say. The two verbs should be parallel, so "A superhero has to help people all the time, not make them tired.
