I doubt the mental stability of most superheroes. They all seem need to lead two separate lives. They go by two names, and have two different personalities. I don't know about you, but to me that sounds like schizophrenia to me. My hero is stable, and has one awesome personality. Mom, I'm talking about you.
On a lesser note, the outfits they pick are ridiculous. Even the Green Hornet's outfit looked a little silly to me. What kind of person thinks, "Oh, I know what will strike fear into my enemies, a flowing cape, and spandex". Batman pulls off the intimidating look with a cape, but then he has that stupid mask, also I don't know whether to count him as a hero or a villain. All the girl superheroes wear essentially a one piece swimsuit with leggings underneath. It's like they think their enemies will go easy on them if they look slutty, which I guess is a possibility.
Superheroes may nab more criminals than the average police officer, but someone has to pay for all the damage they cause. These supposed heroes leave crumbling buildings and debris in their wake. I doubt the people will be calling them heroes when their taxes are raised to cover all the construction. I can't think of a single superhero that didn't cause an enormous amount of destruction to their surroundings.
With all of their flaws, why do we admire them so much? It's because even though there is danger their life is glamorous. They do whatever they think is right without any repercussions, because no one knows who they are. Everyday they get a good feeling, because they know what they are doing is right. No matter how hard it gets their powers pull them through.
Their fashion sense is horrible, they cost us money, and they're crazy, but we love them. We idolize them, and most of us wish we were one at one point in our life. Superheroes may have problems, but we would rather deal with their problems than our own.
