You explained perfectly what I couldn’t express about why the movie Man of Steel made me angry. In addition to the thought Superman should not kill, he would also not put his secret identity ahead of saving lives.
"Super-incorruptibility is Superman’s most important power. Unlike his many other abilities, it’s one he learned and honed, and it’s not one he can take for granted. His parents set the example of how a person should be, and Superman amplifies that example and shares it with countless others."

Loved the essay - perfect counterpoint to people who think that Superman is boring because he's "too perfect" or "too invincible"!

Great paragraph from a great essay.
Thanks!
