-Well i never mentioned Action Comics, but i'll look for a scan later when i feel like digging through the issues.

@nerx: lol

no

Well Bizarro is completely different to reverse flash, RF is just a counterpart everyone has them, Bats,Spidey,GL. Cap Cold has always been a blue collar criminal with morals nothing like the lonely victim Mr Freeze

This is a good example. Superman is my favorite character, but I do like that both Barry & Wally (almost done with John's run on him, pre-52) were more grounded (no pun intended). They helped out "regular folk" more often than Supes, even though all 3 come from blue-collar roots**

**Which I don't hold against Superman, because it's mostly a result of their character-function. Like the grounded metaphor, the Flashes literally are on the ground & deal with things that happen there - like bank-robberies by non-powered rogues -- while Superman takes to the skies & is there to defend us from threats that are beyond this planet. If people chose to write that Flash dealt with more "cosmic" threats, then he'd probably have to leave the "regular folk" to police & fire-fighters more often.

Tbh you can describe almost any character in terms of Batman and Superman. Batman, Superman and Composite Batman and Superman are the 3 major standards in comic books.
