[quote=@Primal Conundrum] You're the one making ad-hominem attacks rather than actually responding to my point. You haven't provided a scrap of evidence for any of your claims. You made a few statements, but you never actually explained why any of your points could hold merit. He's a symbol of what humanity should be? He's not even human. It's not even particularly impressive that he goes and does heroic stuff, since he's almost never at risk by doing those things. He could walk into a burning building without any of the risks involved. He could rescue trapped divers without any equipment. He could single-handedly trounce a small army before they could threaten an area. He is never at notable risk, and that's part of what makes him not a good symbol of what humanity should be. To put yourself on the line, to risk personal injury while doing these things, that's a big part of what makes a hero heroic. Any of the heroes with no or few powers are examples of this, from Batman to Captain America. They are in real risk when they go to help people, but they do it anyway. Now if you want to respond with "but he's cool, your a troll" I'd like to point out that you're not actually discussing anything. You'd be doing the text equivalent of sticking your fingers in your ears and humming loudly, like a child being told something they don't want to hear. [/quote] You claim that you have read comics and then say he's never at risk, superman has been at risk plenty of times and has put his life on the line plenty times as well. The whole no or fewer powers equals better is a bad argument, it's not about the powers, it's about the story and characters and the mythology.
