Part of the problem with modern superhero comics is that, at their heart, superheroes should have values that they stand for, and I don't even necessarily mind if they're values that I don't agree with (see also: Rorschach in Watchmen), as long as the authors writing those superheroes have values that I can get along with. And the problem with so many superheroes right now is not even as much that I'm saying, "Wow, these characters are so wrong," but rather, that I'm saying, "Wow, the intended messages of the authors who are writing these characters are so wrong."
