Superman is way more powerful than any living person in the real world. He has the power to take unilateral action and even armies can’t stop him.
The powerful people in this world do have power, and can do a lot of things, but they have very little unilateral power. Even a dictator like Putin can’t take Ukraine despite being completely obsessed with it. Most other people (politicians, billionaires) have far less unilateral power than Putin. They can only do things when they get others to agree with them.
That’s really the problem with humanity in general and it’s the real reason Superman is a fantasy: it’s a fantasy of unilateral power. The ability to just solve some problems and not have to deal with people opposing you on everything.
You seem to have some comforting fantasies of your own!
Yes, but to the point of the picture, Putin with that much power would be one of the most evil, destructive motherfuckers around.
