It's the same idea as how Batman has been shown (rarely) to defeat Superman. Even though it should, under many (if not all) circumstances, be impossible, comic writers have it happen to reinforce the whole "Men can stand with gods" idea. It's that you don't need to be able to puch through a planet or sneeze away a solar system to be a hero.

That's what Jaune is. Someone who succeeds because of their cause, their drive, their insatiable desire to help people. What his character is trying to get across, I'm guessing, is the message that anyone can be a hero if they give it their all, and that it's less about what you do than why you do it. It matters that Jaune is going to help people, however he can.

Much like Batman has personal reasons, so does Jaune; But in the end, they're both (Or they both end up) doing what they do to help people. So, I wouldn't say that Jaune stands for the "common man" steryotype. He is just a common man, but I think his character has a far deeper meaning than that. As I'm sure White-steryotype Weiss and Black-steryotype Blake will get backstory and characterization that differentiate them from their Earth counterparts, so will Jaune. Hopefully.
