Help me understand the Super Hero genre

I'm not into the whole Superhero thing myself, but I imagine it fulfills some sort of innate desire to experience invincibility or some such thing. Most Superheros are totally emo, so they kind of get on my nerves. I loved Ironman, but not because it's from a comic- I just liked the character and thought RDJ did a fantastic job. Eric and Tori are the ones who love Spideyman, etc, so perhaps they can answer this better than I.
