All-Loving Hero: Superman, full stop. Even though Manchester Black tried to kill him several times over, Superman still wants to recruit him and, at the end of the first issue, when Black tells him he should get revenge on the world because it would feel good, Superman disagrees.

comment
Anti-Climax: Done rather deliberately. After much of the second and third issues is built on a true battle between Superman and the Ultra-Humanite, his oldest foe and the archetypal supervillain, not only is his newest body killed by Lois Lane, and his new Superman Revenge Squad wrecked in their first outing, but when Brainiac and Ultra-Humanite declare this is just the first step of an all-out war, Superman simply tells them... it won't be, and declares he's leaving the planet behind. In-story, this is showing that Superman has grown past that old rivalry and way of doing things, and trusts the new generation to handle any problems created by the Ultra-Humanite. Naturally, the Ultra-Humanite fails to understand that this was an insult, and interprets Superman's disinterest in answering his crude challenge as running scared.
