If this is true, then why do we fear it?
Not only this, superman is a hero of the many, a just saviour and is a model citizen, taking his part in assisting the justice system and punishing those who deserve it while seeking a fair end instead of a ridiculous goal. Superman, is, for a lack of a better term, every man's man. He is politcally active, communally active, and personally active. He's not one to succumb to the apathy of our society, or the greed and immorality.
Even with the new superman comics, in which superman was bron in the Ukraine to fight for the stalinist dream, he has pillars to his ethics, and superman still "always makes time for the children", and keeps his solid sense of morals, even if they are a bit tweaked from how we percieve them.
"Life gives us time, but only Love gives it meaning."
Gambit: Well, Gambit was just cool.
Green Lantern. (Kyle Rayner one, not Hal "haha, universe go boom" Jordan.) Because he had as much of a struggle with himself as with his powers: thrust into the role of the last of the universal protectors, told by a nearly-omniscient being that he wasn't worthy of his powers, has his life torn away from him simply because he kept the ring--hell, within a year of his having the mantle thrust on him, he had to help save the entirety of existence.
Yet somehow between all the angst and insanity, he managed to be a good person who did the right thing. That, to me, was what being a hero was about.
