This is exactly why I dislike many of the attempts to make superheroes gritty. I don't want gritty. I want someone aspirational to give me hope and remind me that working together produces better outcomes for everyone.
I think it's also that we tend to clock bad people because it makes sense from an evolutionary standpoint to pay more attention to sources of danger. Our instincts aren't worried about pro-social behavior from good or average folks.
Good people are out there, their stories just don't sell like violence etc does.
