I disagree. I think what makes The Boys tv show better than the comics is, unfortunately, this is how super powered beings would probably act and be treated in real life: They’d basically replace athletes and celebrities. Their public images are built up to make us think they’re amazing physically meaning they’re also morally superior. When in actuality, they use all of that for personal gains in ways we would never believe until it’s exposed…if you think that’s being too cynical, let me remind you of how Tiger Woods was covered before his private life got exposed compared to what we found out after he crashed his car while his wife chased him down the driveway. And obviously, not ALL of them are secretly freaks or assholes behind closed doors (Starlight). But I think it’s an interesting way to see how they would be in the real world; even something like assigning certain heroes to cities due to polling of demographics and such. Invincible is more of a Marvel superhero told in more modern times as opposed to being thought up in the 1960’s - a hero that isn’t perfect, has real life problems that conflict with his dual identity, and identifies more with being Mark than his superhero identity.
