I think it actually touches on a really interesting problem for superhero stories: All our institutions are based on the fact that, despite what some might say, *people are mostly the same*.

That is, our capabilities are *relatively* similar, difference in power largely comes due to difference in organization and position rather than difference in any inherent quality of the person per se. That's the basis of not only democracy but pretty much any other system of government too.

Superhuman beings (not perhaps Spider-Man, but someone like Superman, Charles Xavier or whatever) would totally throw this equation out of the window.
