The way Superman acts in Superman 714 and Action Comics 783 I dunno if it's just not a behavior people see as realistic, but it's a very Superman thing to do. In short, (for those who haven't read those) Superman fights 5 Supervillains and offers to help them become a superHERO.
This isn't because he's naïve. But because he knows all five of them (at least by reputation) and thinks that they could do good things as a hero.
Stone Emperor: super minor character that I don't remember seeing outside this story.
Scorch: Superman met her in Emperor Joker and realized that while she's hot-headed and not necessarily kind... she's also not generally CRUEL.
Ocean Master: hmm... not really sure why TBH. He's an Aquaman villain who wants to rule Atlantis. I guess the key word there is "rule"... not destroy.
Major Disaster: Deep down inside he's a guy who wants to make a name for himself.. and cash. The supervillain stuff was just a means to an end.
Livewire: The limit of her villainy is usually just to be a nuisance. She has great power but also no good idea what to do with it.
How did that go for Superman? well.. the only one of these characters that actually went back to villainy was Ocean Master. Stone Emperor and Scorch immediately retired from villainy(although in Scorch's case that was temporary, she never became a proper supervillain again, and did some things that were quite heroic actually). Major Disaster and Livewire actually became proper heroes(although this incarnation of Livewire got continuity rebooted out of existence soon after).
I gotta say, THAT is a satisfying Superman story to me. Superman doesn't just beat the villains, he causes them to no longer desire to BE villains. I can get why some people don't enjoy that as much as I do. But to me it is THE Superman thing to do.
