Superman is what it would take for the powerful to do things right.

In the new film, at the end, when the cops take Lex into custody, they are not doing it because Lex committed crimes. They're doing it because Superman could fucking destroy them if they don't. If Superman wasn't super strong and invulnerable, they would have told him to get lost.

Superman is a fantasy not because he's good and powerful. He's fantasy because the powerful are not accountable to anyone in real life.
