That's a shame.
I found many superheroes inspiring as a kid (a lack of a father figure MAY have played a part in that). I liked Reed Richards' interest in science and his attempt to find a scientific solution; I liked Batman's commitment to physical fitness; I liked Superman's altruism. Even as a Brit, I found Cap's patriotism to be inspiring.
I wouldn't have articulated it like that as a kid (I doubt I even knew what the word "altruism" meant), but in retrospect, I can see how certain things were inspiring.
If I became a CEO tomorrow, I'd want to be like Tony Stark (as he was originally, no idea what he is like now). If I was pursuing a career in science, I'd want to have the same passion and commitment as Reed Richards. And on all sorts of decisions, may I always make the decisions that Superman would make if he were real. I may never be able to fly into a burning building, but the ideals he stands for are inspiring to me.
