It highly depends on the type of game one plays. When it comes to superheroes, let's take Batman. While he does fight his rogues gallery of super villains, he also fights common criminals. If we would translate that to D&D terms, it like level 15 character beating CR1 monsters between fights with CR15 monsters.And yes, feeling overpowered and curbstomping fights is fun when not overdone. You start as lv 1 Joe Nobody, vanilla human fighter. CR 1/2 Orc is serious threat. Good damage roll can one shot you, crit will definetly one shot you. You fight, survive, get stronger ( more levels). Now you are Joe Somebody, lv 10 human fighter. That orc isn't threat any more. Sure, he can hit you and maybe it will hurt (but not too bad), but you can chop him up in one attack. Hell, you can solo him and couple of his buddies for good measure. Low level toughs that harassed you as low level PC are now getting out of your way.</blockquote>
