Thinking of your Superman example and an ubermensch having to think about everything, I think several comics and media that have explored aspects of this idea.

I remember reading that there’s a Spiderman story arc where it’s revealed that Peter Parker is holding back his “true” strength for nearly the entire time he’s been Spiderman. It’s only been his true strength of character that has made sure that he “pulls his punches” far enough back so as to not kill or harm the people he’s fighting or saving.

I also think about Robert Kirkman’s Invincible comic/animated series that explores how powerful people decide, either intentionally or accidentally, the fates of those around them, often with dramatic and violent conclusions. Invincible is the story of Superman if Clark Kent wasn’t raised by an American family in the mid-West and was instead raised for another more sinister reason.

I’m getting strong “blue steel” vibes.

Great. Now you’re just making me rewatch allinall’s animated video of Pelinal’s slaughter for the 30th time: https://youtu.be/E5ix0_W-ouI?si=-2mGt8TDnU5wbwGO

Agreed. It was great game because the story, but I can barely remember anything about the gameplay aside from the interactions with Elizabeth. Sadly, my final moments were destroyed by a visual bug - right at the climax of the story near the end of the game Elizabeth’s hair inexplicably stopped rendering… She was as bald as Sinead O’Connor. It kinda killed the vibe.

Ah yes, Steven Colbert’s “truthiness” still holds true in 2023.

I’m not the person you’re responding to, but the post looks sarcastic to me. Have a good day!
