Sure, it's a cheat and a power fantasy (but so are most comic book characters, *how* strong isn't the problem). But the thing is, you still need to present a way to deal with the bad things, however you symbolize them. Comics are heightened reality. The powers aren't the thing.

The original point of Superman was really simple, it was "What if a guy who was literally bulletproof went and punched all the fucks who think they can do whatever they want because they have guns"

(Note that the Tick not being able to fly and just jumping really high IS Golden Age Superman Leaps tall buildings in a single bound, remember?)

Yeah, the Tick, particularly on that Amazon series is basically an incarnation of the good, innocent superhero dropped in the deconstructionist superhero world. It's fun. But they did do the "Supes is an asshole with a good PR team" joke, though.

Yeah the new Tick wasn't as thematically focused as I would've liked, but when has that ever described the Tick as a franchise A lot of the individual stuff was awesome though, like Griffin Newman is my all time favorite Arthur
