Why I hate superheros

I hate superheroes. I hate them with a passion. In fact, it is my opinion that the whole super hero genre, as a genre, is leading to the collapse of any semblance of communitarian or even democratic values in contemporary America. Why do I believe this? Because of the cult of the ubermensch that surrounds superheroes today. These magical beings are to be worshiped, loved, never questioned, and generally obeyed (minus the good '86 revisionist trend). Superheroes are a genetic elite, who engage in vigilantism for the sole purpose of beating up some poor innocent street kid whose only crime is not being born with the superhero's elite genes. And, oh yeah, they're almost all white and even more male. If they're females, they have to have breasts that stick out into the stratosphere and be surprisingly easy to get into bed with. Does anyone see a problem with this? Sieg Heil, Superman, even if you were created by two Jewish kids from Brooklyn. We know what direction you're taking the world in.
