Superman lives in a world made of cardboard ( obligatory youtube link:<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cl_5UwS57X8" target="_blank">YouTube - World of Cardboard</a>) and loves being Clark Kent. His deepest desire? Living on a farm with wife Lois and son on Krypton (see for the man who has everything <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ogQJYmAtYWM&feature=related" target="_blank">YouTube - For the Man Who Has Everything 2/3</a> couldn't find the first part). Spiderman's original motivation for crime fighting wasn't for power or glory but out of guilt for getting his uncle killed, who was in that situation because Parker was trying to cheat at a wrestling competition to make some money. And the second movie goes into how much easier Parker's life is without spiderman. So Dash's problems weren't stemming from the man keeping him down but learning to live with his fellow human beings, not above them.Also, what would Dash running a race at his full potential prove? Nothing. He needs his full potential when he is running across water away from minions piloting flying saucers equipped with machine guns and spinning blades of doom. Running the 100m sprint? the fact he could hold back is a bigger accomplishment considering that he could keep himself from putting tacks on his teacher's chair.</blockquote>
