>>122452281Because it opens up for more variated characterisation. Even if this is very shallow. Superman is so good that he is a boyscout and limits the character for low-brow writers. So their take is "Superman but what if he without social limits". I mean reality is full of Nixons, Trumps and egoistic bankers, so writers cant think of a person like Ghandi or Obama when they try a more realistic approach.
