Yeah, except, well, no. They don't act like high and mighty, and the accountability criticism is also...well...no. In the DC universe, heroes are technically accountable, because the Justice League smacks down heroes who cause trouble. And if one of the Justice League goes rogue, the other members smack them down too. The heroes keep each other in check. They are held accountable. Unless all the heroes conspire to start ruling over humans, any complaints that "they're not held accountable" fall flat. Heroes are people too. And even if the entire Justice League went all Justice Lords on the Earth, the Green Lantern Corp, etc, would promptly invade and topple them.

Marvel heroes aren't quite as organized, which gives civilians more leeway to be resentful, but it's still a bit stupid, because having heroes who occasionally cause trouble is vastly preferable to having no heroes at all. Sure it would be better if they were well-organized, but remember: in Marvel time, it's only been thirteen years since the Fantastic Four went up in their spaceship. An appropriate, stable status quo has yet to be established, and Marvel is perpetually in a state of semi-stasis because of the sliding timescale.
