And yeah, he breaks the fourth wall, makes stupid jokes, flirts with people who are trying to kill him, constantly talks, etc. But he is pretty much my favorite character in Marvel and I think it's not bad to take cool characters seriously. And we're not reeeally taking him seriousl, he's a comic character! It's not really important, it's fun. So saying he's not meant to be taken seriously is both insulting and redundant dude.

I really love Cap too. That JLU episode is one of my favs (and that's saying something; i have seen every episode, although i missed a couple of episodes back when it was just JL w/ 7 people). The way they fought in that was AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!! Supes was kickin' ass and Cap was definitely going down, but it wasn't easy for Supes. They were both gettin' some hits in.
But yes, Superman is ultimately more powerful. Although, in my imaginary, convenient-for-my-taste-in-comics universe, Cap's powers have been increased a crap load! Mary is evil and therefore is drawing from Black Adam's power, not the wizard's. Freddy Freeman (Captain Marvel Jr./CM3/Shazam) is getting the power from the gods directly aswell, not from Cap. The sum, Cap is at 100%, he doesn't have anyone drawing on the power, and magic has been increased so all magic users are beyond the top of their game. So, although Superman is more powerful still, it's a lot like where in Kingdom Come, Captain Marvel can kick some kryptonian ass. And he's cool.
But that's my non-canoncal, imaginary, DC multiverse where I change things to take ideas from Kingdom Come, the Frank Miller universe of Batman: year one, dark knight strikes again, dark knight returns, and batman & robin the boy wonder, the JLU show, etc. So it's pointless.
Sorry to bore you with that. Just wanted to share how I thought Captain Marvel should be.
He should get used more. He barely makes it into Infinite Crisis, or modern comics. He only appeared in a modern comic series when being showed-up by Marvel Jr. (going by Shazam). Cap is too cool to have a stupid Gandalf beard and be a @#$%ing mentor-type. Especially not to a guy who is older than him. In modern comics, Billy Batson should be about 16. Freddy Freeman is therefore 18.
Captain Marvel is soooooo underappreciated for being one of the coolest characters in comics. Long live the world's mightiest mortal!
