I'm not even sure what comic heroes are like that (outside of an issue of "the Crossed")? you have any recommendations (expecting a very general and fanboy biased answer, naming off whatever Marvel titles you can think of)? I have no need to knock you or anything you are interested in nor have I yet, and i appreciate your love for superman. It's just too bad not everyone feels exactly the same.
In the Ultimate Universe, Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch were an item (they were brother and sister, and the Wolvy of that Universe, whose MUCH crazier than the Wolvy of 616 (which is saying something), watched. In the Wildstorm Universe, the heroes practically became the villains and had managed to cow the government into a fearful subversion. In both Ultimate Marvel and Wildstorm, heroes were more concerned about public opinion than actually fighting crime or the like and were often jerky assholes who killed lots of innocent bystanders in fights that could have EASILY been saved were they not assholes.
Now, this is NOT the case with 616 (though, in this new dark age, anything is possible).
Some good 616 stories (or just good in general) that I recommend are:
-The Avengers: The Korvac Saga
-The Avengers: The Bride of Ultron
-The Avengers: Assault on Mt. Olympus
-The Avengers: The Serpent Crown
-The Avengers: The Private War of Dr. Doom
-Spider-Man: Maximum Carnage
-Marvels (ESPECIALLY Marvels)
-Most of the stuff with Deadpool because it just LOVES to take the piss out of the chaos that 616 has and often does get into.
-Secret Wars
-Secret Wars II (see the parenthesis for Marvels)
-The Phoenix Saga
-The Dark Phoenix Saga
-The trade paper back Spider-Man: Venom
-Marvel: Earth X
-That Thor run from the 80's that I hear is actually pretty good but I've never read personally that I still wanna read because everyone says it's beast.
-Spider-Man: The Death of Kraven
-That Trade-Paper back Spider-Man and the fantastic four
-Most of the Marvel Essentials stuff.
-Some other stuff I can't quite think up of at the moment.
