Yes, I definitely think that's part of it. I think it's also because a lot of superheroes are really dysfunctional people, either because they've had really crazy superhero stuff to deal with or because of their origin--like if they were raised by villainous parents or their powers gave them a weird childhood. So it's interesting to see them trying to figure out what "normal" means for them.
