The author of the book of Kings answers the question of who is fit to be a king by offers us three cases 3 men Saul (a prophet), David (a hero) and Solomon (the wisest man in the world). (s)he than shows us how each of them failed and hence no man should be king. (S)he was prolly some kinda anarchist or romanticized the rule of the Judges. I think the archmagnus Alan Moore is using the same rhetorical plan. He presents us with each of the Superhero archetypes and shows us how they are Naive, unhuman, or just plain evil. The high tech dilettante - is just play acting The heroine - is just furniture the superman - has no human connection the vigilante - is a sociopath the genius - is a conman the super soldier - is a scumbag Capes suck
