Laziest criticism of Superman ever.
Lazy? What, you want me to write a novel about it or something? Jesus Christ dude, it's not worth getting all bent about.
I liked Superman well enough until I found Spiderman and the X-Men. It was the Spectacular Spiderman books from around 1976 or so that really hooked me. He was down in the grit and grime of New York at that time. And Marvel seemed so much less in love with itself and irreverent than DC did. I know I tried my arse off to win a 'No Prize', but that goal always escaped me.
I did really like the first two Superman movies with Christopher Reeves. I must've seen 'em both a zillion times back then.
But yeah, the Superman books bored the ever loving dog shite out of me. He was too perfect, and impossible to relate too. He wasn't conflicted like Peter Parker or Logan/Wolverine.
All a Superman book was good to me for was just trade bait for a Sgt. Rock or an Unknown Soldier.

No. It's more like the criticism itself. There's more to Superman than being some "overpowered" heavy hitter that just punches things.
He's an idea. And one of the greatest ideas to ever come out in the last 150 years. He's one of the greatest immigrant stories ever. He's an alien all alone with such incredible power that he could use to rule the world with if he wanted to but he lives like an average joe instead and uses it to help people and that's it. He's really alone with barely no one else like him except for a couple others and he constantly has distrustful governments plotting against him and he takes it in stride and stays in character. He's so powerful he's practically living in a world made of cardboard on this Earth and has to try like hell to restrain himself. Put simply, he's a model of character that humanity wishes it could be and tries to be that guy.
Read All Star Superman by Grant Morrison and get back to me. You'll have a different point of view of the character and why he's considered the the GOAT greatest Superhero of all time.
