2. Hyperion
(Squadron Supreme, Marvel Comics)
The Squadron Supreme version, not the Supreme Power one.
Squadron Supreme is one of the greatest Marvel Comics of all time. The series is an in-depth examination of the Justice League done through pastiche characters. To put it simply, if Watchmen answers the question, What would superheroes look like if they existed in our world?, Squadron Supreme answers the question, What would our world look like with superheroes in it? Hyperion decides to go on the offensive in his world-saving, no longer content to just save the day. He and the Squadron start being proactive and changing the world.
They change prisoner rehabilitation, end wars, and attempt to use their means to cure cancer. It does all the things you aren’t supposed to do in comics, and it does them expertly. Hyperion is the Superman analogue, leading the Squadron in their mission against his former best friend, Nighthawk.
If you haven’t read that original Squadron Supreme series, you really need to.
