For some reason I've just never liked Spider-Man. He comes off as a whiney, ignorant child that never seems to grow up or mature despite everything he goes through. I love a good coming of age story, but he just never seems to become an adult.

Superman.

He's just a dude that was made of perfection. Nothing can go too wrong for him. Perfectly strong. Perfectly sound. Perfectly everything.

Yes I know and am aware of the arcs he's been in where writers have tried to give Superman internal challenges and struggles about who he is as a superhero. But it's like he's going to bounce back from it all anyways because he's walking perfection.

And a lot of over-compensating guys idolize that.

He epitomizes a lot of what I don't like about comics. He was strong and fast compared to earth people... And that's it. The thing about being able to leap tall buildings in a single bound? Yeah, he had to jump because he couldn't actually fly. Then he gained flight, xray vision, laser eyer, frost breath, and a ton of other convenient bullshit.

And batman is just a rich guy that beats up mentally ill people for fun, with young boy sidekicks in tights. Captain sunshine from venture bros kind of nailed him.
