I don't know whether it is connected, but there is probably a feeling that people who change the world have, historically, often meant trouble.

So yeah, it's a powerful thought in theory to want to make the world a better place, but so many people have gone so wrong with it.

Maybe that's why so many people have this kind of anti reaction to Superman. I see it with Wonderwoman too at times. That people perceive them as fascist and preachy.

Wanting something more and bigger has culturally, again, often spelled trouble. At least with somebody who does it for revenge their goals appear to be more limited (though I'm not convinced myself).
