Say what you will about My Hero Academia, but I have always loved All Might for this reason.
He is a prime example of upholding the ideals of Superman.
It helps that All Might is more proudly American - despite being Japanese both in- and out-of-universe - than characters written in modern American stories.
From what I have seen, it is because All Might is how most Japanese people see Americans: Big, loud, obnoxious, and in your face. But when the chips are down and you need a hero, they will bulldoze over everyone in their path to be the hero and save the day. And quite frankly, they are sadder when they arent like that.
On a strange note, I saw the same thing with the pokemon "Braviary"
I haven't seen Pokemon, so I'm not familiar - is it just the bald eagle resemblance, or is there more to it?
Braviary looks like an eagle, but in the anime, it is explicitly stated to have extremely high loyalty to it's friends and family, and can always be counted on to fight no matter how difficult the situation.
