Superman, like Starfleet, has the means to stop or put down his enemies yet always goes to pain staking lengths to do the complete opposite often to his detriment. If Superman showed them who was boss and that he was a force to be reckoned with everyone would think twice before embarking on a life of crime and the crime rate would go down. I think it is great that he is throwing bad guys down the street and hopefully we'll see some heat vision from the sky. All you need to do is set an example, the word will spread and everyone will fall in line.

I think that's why The Boys is very different to a lot of mainstream hero's.
Superman and others fight for truth justice and the American way. They are there to save people and stop bad guys, they are not murderers so will do everything they can to avoid deaths. Same for Batman, he usually avoids guns, instead incapacitating his enemies.
I'm up to ep5 so far with this and the 'heroes' are a bit out of control and pretty loose cannons. It's great though.
