I very much enjoy the stories where the villain is a villain because they had something horrible happen to them or people they love because of superheroes, and were simply brushed off as collateral damage. Especially if it was a situation where massively excessive force was used, like “your plasma vision went through an apartment wall and killed my entire family, all to stop a single thief!”
It commentates on the West’s attitudes toward both war and police (mis)conduct pretty well.
