: I think it's that he represents the best in all of us. Any thoughts?
He gets all the superhero angst of not knowing his homeworld and his biological parents... but his adoptive parents love him, he's got tons of good friends, hot wife, lots of hot ex-girlfriends who'd steal him in a second, a job that he's very good at, death means nothing to him, he can do lots of neat shit.
He's the ultimate power fantasy and the only psychic wound he's really got is missing something he can't even remember.
