Spider-Man (I know...shocker!) - not the strongest or most powerful and screws up plenty but always tries to do the right thing and never gives up. Never backs down from far superior opponents power-wise as well but just seems to find a way!
This is all about opinions in this forum discussion. I like Spider-Man but like you said he can be a knuckle head. He does the right things of integrity. Though he failed to save Gwen Stacy after that fight with the Green Goblin. Even his Uncle Ben told him "With Great power comes great responsibility." If I were to look into Spiderman's life right now. I would tell him keep your friends out of your life as Spiderman or more people will get hurt. The more friends he makes that knows he's Spiderman the more Peter will get hurt knowing that they have been killed or sufficiently injured.
@Jakcj He tried doing so before and it was too hard for him. He should be allowed to have friends and whenever he does try to push them away because of the danger, they usually accept the danger and say they can handle it.
@Tyrannus I'm not trying to say he shouldn't be segregated to have friends. I'm saying he shouldn't be telling his friends he's Peter Parker just like how Batman does it, so that way their friends don't get into that danger.
@Jakcj Oh yeah unfortunately he does that way too much. That's his own fault. He still hasn't told his best friend Harry and yet the whole world knows. How hurtful.
Cyclops
A lot of people will chose someone like Superman or Captain America because everyone knows them and they like to be shown doing the right thing. However Cyclops looks out for everyone. Humans or mutant. Majority or minority.
When you have titanic powers its easy to look inspirational. Its much harder to do so when your street level and Cyclops does so more so than the rest.
Cyclops is also inspirational in his leadership qualities. He's been put in lose lose situations and still somehow achieve his objectives.
Cyclops doesn't care about the glory, he cares about his people. Those that hate him are only allowed to do so because Cyclops allowed them to.
@Jakcj Why? Many people including myself would have thought the same of CA until he didn't. I know CA isn't Superman but their both seen as being very similar in personality.
@Tyrannus I think what happened was Captain America judged them. Here's what I think though. Superman isn't like other human beings. He's depicted as being an alien, so if he saw mutants in his eyes. Superman would accept them because he relates to them in a way. Superman was born with his abilities while mutants were born with whatever abilities they have. Whereas Captain america is a human and he has no relatives or anybody that he knew were mutant or alien kind, he became Captain America just by using steroids.
Superman,
and it isn't because He has Powers, but because He Cares about People and is a Symbol of Hope
Ex: He saved a Child from his Abusive Father & Comfort a Girl who had Suicidal Thoughts and Made Her feel Welcome and Gave Her a Purpose
Robin
especially the 3 classic ones (Dick, Jason, Tim)
They are shining examples that also boys who have no super-powers (e.g. eye beams, magic etc) can still become great & iconic superheroes, if only they train much and if their passion and their dedication for their job is good enough.
Well Superman is OP but he is still a type of guy that would help an old lady cross the road, help some random child who is being abused and save some random girl moments before she jumps from a building to her death
