For all of the ongoing dialogue in the last few years about how the darker characters make the hard choices to do what the other can't/won't do I think the  "boy scouts" make the really tough decisions. They do the right thing always not because it's easy or works the best but because it's the right thing and no matter what there is always a way around doing the not-right thing. Superman and Cap (some others too I'm sure) are the touchstones by which their universes measure themselves, like it or not. The problem I see is that too often they aren't written as the touchstones but overbearing, oh-so righteous, dorks that nobody can stand. It's the whole Paladin thing that OOTS showed pretty well.</blockquote>
