    Have you seen ‘My Adventures with Superman’? I think they did a great job in this series dealing with the issues you mention.

    As an aside, One Punch Man is an example of a series where the protagonist is absurdly OP but super entertaining nonetheless - not a comic book series though, of course.

      My Adventures with Superman

      No, never heard of it. I’ll check it out at some point.

      I did like One Punch Man, and yes, they lampshade the sheer ridiculousness of his power level, and even mess with preconceptions by having the origin story be as mundane as possible. I think the core difference between One Punch Man and Superman/Captain Marvel is that OPM isn’t supposed to be taken seriously. The mismatch is the joke.
