The hero, first off all, has to possess unshakable positive moral values ...
He (or she, or it) is also generally very special in some way. (This is kind of true for all stories, even the "everyday Joe" types become special because of their involvement in the story (Ash, Arthur Dent)). If he isn't born special (Superman), then he works his ass off to BECOME special (Batman, Iron Man).
Woke philosophy is born of stuff like "You can be anything you want to be when you grow up because you are SPECIAL just because you are a human" messaging would have us believe that any piece of trash can become a "superhero" just by putting on a costume and kicking unpopular butt (modern Harley Quinn). That's not a superhero, that's a cargo-cult effigy of one.
Proper superhero stuff is inherently anti-woke.
