Screenshot by Destructoid This points out a problem I have with superhero media in general: when bestowed with great power, many people would act in brutal ways and walk away scot-free, as happens in Dispatch, should you do the deed. This has been the thesis at the core of Alan Moore's Watchmen, and it still seems to ring true, despite nearly twenty years of Marvel movies trying to depict the existence of superheroes as good.

Sad as it might be, randomly bestowing someone in the real world with superpowers—or the ability to command a squad of heroes—would more likely result in something much closer to Zack Snyder's Batman and Superman, than in the newest and much nicer iteration of the Man of Steel.
