I think Captain America is a good example of a non-gritty, optimistic superhero done well, and that may be because he has flaws and isn't physically invincible. Supes has always received criticism for being too perfect and overpowered (though there are some comic book runs where this isn't true at all).

Cap isn't quite the same because his history as a soldier and possible PTSD makes him a bit different from Clark. I think it makes Clark harder to write. But as I said below, I think one of the keys to writing Clark is understanding that he himself sets the limits on himself. He can do most things, but he won't. So writing him having to struggle with those limits he sets on himself can be really interesting.

I sometimes wonder if I would like Captain America if I was from the US. As it is, I can't stop myself from seeing him as this total nationalistic American symbol, and it annoys the hell out of me.

But that's the thing, he's nothing like that or even remotely jingoistic. I'm not American and I adore him.
