How about how the nerdy Peter Parker had to lose his glasses almost immediately in the Spider-Man movies?
Don’t look to the popular culture for role models.
And I’m sure that Steve Ditko (original artist and co-creator of Spider-Man) has to be dismayed to see his creation used by Marvel and the UN to push the United Nations’ propaganda to school children. Steve Ditko’s own political views are more alligned with Ayn Rand’s Objectivism.
Back in the mid '90s, they were using Batman to push gun control. All the bad guys in Gotham City were getting their guns in Virginia, or some such rot.
If you want to see Ditko’s Objectivism fully realized in comic form, see: http://www.dialbforblog.com/archives/297/
