What would you say is the comic-accurate character of Superman? Closer to unbeatable God and true "man of steel", or a kind hearted human being who shows weakness? The whole Gunn vs Snyder debate showed that people are kind of divided on what Superman should be. Some were relieved they made a nice guy "Superman with heart" and all. But others actually liked Superman who was almost a god and could wipe the floor with anyone. Where do you stand on this?
Personally, it's a tricky question for me. On the one hand, I know comics probably portray him as a guy with heart. Then again, being the strongest superhero is the distinctive feature of Superman, and he has been kind of an embodiment of "ideal man" in some ways, of old timey masculinity (although not deliberately so).

Superman isn't a god he is a community pillar.
As Clark he is a bumbling country boy and as Superman is an idealized version of the square jawed community leader, a kind word and mountains of charisma backed by a constant strength that doesn't need to be directly acknowledged but is always present.
The actual guy that the two personals are derived from should be like Superman but be kind of a goofball when not needing to be On. Like that same community leader having a model train collection in his basement.
