Here he comes ... to save the day!
I read in a newspaper a while back that the reason shows like CSI are so popular is that we, as humans, like seeing good-looking, intelligent people quickly solving crimes and saving other people. It's a comfort to us.

I'm thinking, this isn't new at all. I'm just coming onto the (yeah, don't hate me) traditional American comics scene, and hasn't that been what's made them so popular over the years? I mean, would we care as much about our traditional heroes if they weren't saving normal people, for the most part?

I think that's a big part of my attraction to manga to begin with. They're constantly saving the world.

Though how it gets into so much peril, I shall never know.
