On the one hand, you’re right and I know it. It’s the power fantasy over structural and social solutions/cooperation.
On the other hand, some are more fascy than Superman:
Batman (general ignoring of structural issues, the even heavier glorification of vigiliantism over most capes)
X-Men (if the gay, persecuted minority stuff gets occluded, and possibly due to those a lot of the villains)
Green Lantern (might be wrong here, but seems to be space cops with a strong link to US military. I’ll assume Nazi-coded villains to make them seem more heroic.)
Yeah the Green Lantern Corps in particular actually sucks pretty hard. The human members spend a lot of time chastising them for either not doing enough or doing fashy space cop shit, and then doing genocides themselves.
