Not at all. One has to remember is that Supes is the forerunner, the Mario of the superhero world (although Mario wasn't the first of his kind of course, and neither quite entirely was Superman, but he so defined the standard that all conventional superherodom can claim to stem from him, and he is still the first in recognizability, much like Mario or Mickey Mouse)
The problem is that Superman has never quite managed to shake off his Silver Age image, not of being a perfect boy scout (because he's almost always been that way, barring Superman At World's End, one of the few superheroes to resist the "make everything dark and edgy" craze kicked off by everyone trying to rip off Watchmen), but of Silver Age Superman's tendency to pull powers out of his ass at any opportunity (for a while he could willingly travel through time just by flying). Superman now is better-defined, but remains no less Super, and he too can pull off a good story, of the burdens of power and what he can and cannot do for the world with his powers.
I tend to dislike what Wolverine has become. The original point of Wolverine was that he was short, ugly, and just plain unpleasant to be around. He was a badass, sure, but you had to take that in with his other qualities. The problem is someone like Wolverine fit the "Dark Age" of comics very well, which raised his profile until he basically gets all top billing now (and being played by Hugh Jackman certainly threw off his origins as a short, ugly, unpleasant dude)
Monster Hunter: pissing me off since 2010.
