I have to that most superhero stories grapple with that question only to a homeopathic degree. They certainly could, though.
-
i claim they're all dealing with it directly, though accidentally so they mostly get more and more tired iterating on hero-worship

Marvel's Civil Wars have drunk-walked their way to asking relevant questions, though, not that any useful answers are in evidence

I don't think "humans with exaggerated agency" are a one-to-one map with "transhuman actors", though obviously there's overlap.
-
But the few satisfying parts of CIVIL WAR II have treated Ulysses' power more like a poorly understood algo than a human drive.

So that's a point for you.

@womzilla so here's a fun question: what distinguishes Peter Thiel from Batman other than not punching people with his own actual fists? -
Batman has promised to use his inhuman wealth and concentration to punish "bad people" rather than "whomever I want"?
