It still instills a dynamic that the best way to solve disputes is by force

How often is it that superheroes start the violence? Or are you suggesting that smiling as your teeth are knocked down your throat should be the reaction, here?

and that some parts of the public are undesirable by fiat.

... given the predilection of comics for redemption arcs, antiheroes, the struggle of being different, and the fucking X-Men, I'm gonna have to press X to doubt on that.

Given the current affairs of the US in which half our federal officials are trying to outlaw trans folk, I’m hyper-aware that this is a bad message to give.

You're hyperaware that a message that isn't being sent is bad. Okay. I'm very aware that Teletubbies advocating genocide is bad. Good thing that's not at all relevant.

Alright but 99% of my memories of superheroes as a kid weren't them fighting crime, but them fighting supervillains, which is generally the main draw for kids.

... you might be reading too much into a silly superhero. He fights a man with mechanical tentacles named 'Doctor Octopus'. He has an enemy who is literally just a stage magician called 'Mysterio'. There are several animal-people. One villain is literally made out of sand.

It's... generally not that deep.

Traditional-style Ethiopian illustrations often have sharp outlines, it's a very neat look.

The two characters are from She-Ra, a cartoon with LGBT representation. The flag is the lesbian pride flag, I think.

Not chained up. The Abomination carries his chains everywhere. He's kinky like that.

tbf if the Primarchs were female, the SMs would probably be female, or mixed male and female units.
