Superman is a creature of the Golden Rule. It's one of the reasons why so many artists want to draw Batman graphic novels or work on the monthly comics, because you know there's a certain amount of rage they have at the world they get to convey through the pages. Superman, despite the tragedies he's faced, is a man without much rage or hatred for people. So he doesn't necessarily play into the adolescent power fantasy as other heroes do. He's the adult superhero.

OK. It's a bit of a dig against fans of other heroes, but I like this comment. I think Scott McCloud just into words one of the reasons I like the Superman character so much.
