Not every superhero has to be woke.
There is a real contradiction between the people that want heroes of the nation state vs heroes of the people.
Or if you prefer, bourgeois heroes and proletarian heroes.
Batman is a bourgeois hero. Spiderman is a proletarian hero.
Fighting for the poor vs fighting for the cops.
Bourgeois heroes are essentially just super cops.
Or vigilantes that border on being paramilitaries.
Like Avatar Korra lol.
