Legendary heroes of myth traveling to the future and ending up being real jerks. Then they go after our hero's girl--and then they get taken down a peg.

Superheroes (or villains) who are married, and stay married, and maybe even have kids. Superheroes with non-super-powered siblings (or parents) that are a part of their lives.
Rich superheroes (or villains) with *any* living relatives. It seems like all the rich ones (Bruce, Tony, Warren, Emma) are parent-adjacent, and usually sibling-adjacent as well.
Religious superheroes (or villains) who go to church/temple/synagogue/mosque on a weekly basis (but whose powers have nothing to do with their faith).
Costumes that use colors like brown, yellow or gray. Not everybody looks good in bright red and blue! (Or wants to creep around the shadows in black.)
Indians. (Not Native Americans, which are crawling out of the woodwork, especially in Marvel! The ones from India.) For a group that makes up such a large percentage of the world's population, they seem to have gotten the short end of the metahuman stick.
Foreign characters whose powers have nothing to do with their place of birth or ethnicity. Couldn't there be some Australian supers whose powers or schtick don't involve the Dreamtime (if Aborigine) or throwing boomerangs (if Caucasian)?

Discussions of Bernard Bolzano. In fact, there's not enough of those in the real world either.

"Essential" reprints of stories that were never even any good the first time-- only without any color and on even cheaper paper this time.
(The "Essential" Dazzler. Somebody shoot me.)
