Superman Overrated Superhero

304 Words2 Pages

The most overrated superhero is Superman. Superman is a character in the comics that never had to really work to get to where he is at. He basically had everything handed to him. In the comics, he’s around other characters like batman who not only had something traumatic happen to him in the past, he also worked hard to get to where he is at. On the other hand, Superman is just a character that decided that he wanted to be a superhero and just had the abilities to do it. In the earliest comics, he never had a reason to become the person he is. They just say that is the type of person he is.

One reason that he is overrated is that he is a character that never gets any development. In a moment that calls for it, Superman just becomes stronger to match who ever he is fighting. He’s a character that you never get a feeling of tension from watching or reading because you know that no matter what, he either somehow going to survive, or he is somehow going to come out on top.

In The Joy of Reading and Writing: Superman and Me by Sherman Alexie, Alexie states “A smart Indian is a dangerous person, widely feared and ridiculed by Indians and non-Indians alike” (Alexie 364). I would have to disagree with this statement. He is making it sound like just because he is a minority that received somewhat of an education, he should be feared by others. I believe that anyone who is smart and forceful in a community is dangerous because they have the willpower to go to any lengths to uphold their beliefs. On the other hand, I also believe that just because you are smart, you don’t necessarily have to be feared.

From every one to your average person who watches whatever is on, to the hard core comic book nerds and geeks out there, they all seem to universally enjoy the show after giving it at least a little bit of a chance.
