I keep remembering how many people freaked out when Martha Kent said: 

“Be their hero, Clark. Be their angel, be their monument. Be anything they want you to be. Or be none of it. You didn’t owe this world a thing anyway.” 

Don’t you think Clark having a choice in his status makes it stronger?

He’s not just Superman because he needs to be, he’s Superman because he wants to be. 

He wants to save the world. He wants to be a hero. It makes everything he does much stronger because it’s his choice to be this way.

Humans are these dark, twisted beings. We’re this unsettling mix of good and bad. 

Yet there is a person who looked at us, looked the darkest of us in the eye and realized that he wanted to help us. He wanted to use his powers for our benefit. 

Doesn’t that mean anything to anyone?

Superman could easily leave the earth and go as far away as he can, but he doesn’t, because he made the choice to stay on earth and help humanity out. 

And it’s that choice to stay that truly makes Clark Kent super.
