Superman could’ve lived a quiet life as Clark Kent, writing puff pieces for the Daily Planet, or could've taken control of our little blue planet. But no, his moral compass pointed towards protecting the innocents, repeatedly. He’s so selfless, he doesn’t even hold a grudge when people turn on him faster than a light switch. Let’s not forget, that the man literally fights villains in spandex. That’s dedication. And when you have heat vision, you could easily toast marshmallows instead of battling and finally forgiving Lex Luthor.
