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.

Bourgeois heroes are essentially just super cops.

Or vigilantes that border on being paramilitaries.
