Why Superman Fails as a Video Game Character

So, I saw Man of Steel. It's so-so. The main problem, I think, is that Superman and Lois Lane just don't have enough personality to care too much about. The female Phantom Zone villain is pretty fun at times, though.

Supes hasn't had much luck in video games either, and today I considered a few reasons why, which mostly have to do, of course, with his omnipotence and omnibenevolence. I consider whether or not either of them leads to mechanics that can make a game that might actually be fun to play. Superman might just be "anti-fun."
