Both have recognized that no matter how powerful, we're all flawed. The invulnerable archetype just isn't believable anymore, quite possibly because of the blinding velocity of media. Besides, how dysfunctional were the the Superfriends? Constantly posturing to maintain their secret identities and appear invincible at all times? I prefer the X-Men any day: a collection of disillusioned misfits with weird powers they just don't know what to do with find a community of other misfits just like them. That, and Wolverine is a bad-ass. Social media, like comics in general, is completely post-Superman. Both have recognized that no matter how powerful, we’re all flawed.
