While Superman is pretty super there is someone even super-er and that is Jesus Christ. The Savior of the world doesn't come out of a comic book and He doesn't fight crime with weapons of any kind. Perhaps His purpose is fairly similar to the super heroes though. Moses 1:39 states that it is "to bring to pass the immortality and eternal life of man." That's saving people physically and spiritually.
Christ taught us to turn the other cheek and to love our enemies. He exemplified these principles perfectly His entire life, especially the last week of his earthly ministry. He endured an unfathomable amount of pain. His response: love toward those responsible for his suffering.
Heroes come in all shapes and sizes. It's not like it's bad to think Iron Man is cool or whatever. After all, Moroni was a war hero and if all men were like him the very powers of hell would be shaken forever. What I am getting at is that at the top of our hero list should be Jesus Christ, He who conquered all with love.
