Why do people actualy enjoy going to see comic book movies?
I think that often people will look up to the lead charecters a lot, because of the powers that they have and how they use it, for example captain america is an icon of the american nation, he is the protecter and also 'the avenenger' of the nation. So they will look up to him as a hero. This is also common in other charecters such as the green lantern and Professor X becuase they use their powers for the good of the nation or of the world, they choose to use them for good as well, so people respect them for it.
Also as their alter egos, people may relate to them, for example the green lantern was just a normal guy, untill he gained his powers through the ring, for this reason, the audience will be able to relate to the charecter, or may feel sorry for them because of the struggles and stress which the charecters gain, as they gain more responsibitly of being a hero.
Because the characters are in a way, two different people, they will gain either double the respect or double the hate from the viewers, depending on how they choose to use their powers.
This is key to how a character is portrayed, and how the story will be layed out for the rest of the movie.
