One day friend you will end up finding answers to all your question. Seems like with your blog the puzzle of 3A will be solved AI Alien and Algorithms.

Anyway coming over to a superhero and an ordinary life. These stories of power are more grounded into failure-& success. Every superhero has tragic story of past filled with agony and failure cowardice and his subsequent makeover into a responsible powerful being. A total eclipse of past defeat into glorified welfarism. These stories create a world of escapism for the audience to imagine an overnight empowerment. I think this very sense of empowerment is what allure us towards these characters.

They are far from realism but they are a bundle of motivation to imagine our better selves.
