I like Superman going after wife-beaters and taking the high society partiers into the mine shaft. But then I'm more into urban vigilante heroes than sci-fi heroes.
That's good stuff! Like when he kidnaps the local quarterback for his own good and takes his place on the team or when he spilled the oil all over the oil field and making a million bucks in some stock deal. Awesome.
