I was always wondering about the value (e.g. educational aspects) of all superhero comics/movies. Probably a cultural difference thing, not only I live in Europe (not defended by any masked crusaders in colorful capes - hence both world wars), but also superheroes had only started to "visit" my country back in 1980s (my childhood era).
My heroes were guys like Indiana Jones. Doing extaordinary feats of bravery, yet in more modest costumes, and sans super powers. My parents were crazy enough to take a 6 year old to see a PG-13 rated "...Temple of Doom"! Probably this had started my lifelong affection to 1930s...
Even during my short stint with superhero comics (at the age 10-12) I disliked the ones blessed with special powers. No surprise I never cared for the movie adaptations (besides, they were usually inferior to comics)... well... maybe with
one exception
