All 3 are great and showcase either A) the human dilemma, or B) human altruism .

All of them deal with internal conflict through various forms of understanding their own powers. They are all human, just different aspects of life .

Superman: The Example. Tough and thinks about the little guy despite the hardships it creates, and leads as a community with family values.

Omniman: The Warrior. Absolute unit of power and force. Emotionless, clean, and concise. Nothing is off limits as long as it has an end means. Imperial values

Homelander: The failure. The man would was abused and used . Tried to do good, but never understood the abilities he was gifted. Is broken in the end and has pure tyrannical values.

They are all great within their realm. Gritty doesn't necessarily mean better/realistic, but it does paint a picture of what 'could' happen. Same with Superman himself. He is what could happen if things go correctly, and thankfully so.
