I think there is also a lot of appeal in the idea that in being different/unique you are actually superior to everybody else and not the opposite.
Personally, I'm not much into super hero stories except in movie form. I haven't read a comic book since I was a pre-teen and then it was mostly the Scrooge McDuck comics my dad had.
For me, while it isn't the only thing I love about movies one aspect is the ability to create visually convincing non-realities. And the abilities of the medium have finally begun to catch up to the ideas behind fantasy (which I enjoy in written form) and comic books (which I don't). I have no real interest in the old Spider-Man movies, the Batman TV show, early Superman, etc.
