The Greek myths are filled with materialistic and egotistic human foibles, the Chinese myths of bottled ethics and etiquettes, the American consists of technology, consumerism, righteousness, and the pure Good vs Evil. The preoccupation of righteousness of the Americans is instilled since young.
Superman
Superman (born 1938), the unique and ultimate symbol of American invincibility and righteousness. According to Superman's story line, he is a orphan from outer space. Nevertheless, his looks and mannerism are all-American -- blue eyes, burly, headstrong, and full of justice.
Covers of ~2003 Superman comics. Note the serious deadpan. He says, you don't want to mess with him. The cover is prominently titled “MYTHOLOGY”. Also note the caption “A Celebration of the World's Favorite Comic Book Heros.” The WORLD's favorite? It is questionable if half of the world's population ever heard of them, less favorite. To Americans, the words WORLD and USA are effectively equivalent.
~2003 comic covers of Superman and his cohorts. The JLA stands for Justice League America, in which Superman is the leader. Note how they are all WASP.

Christopher Reeve (1952 to 2004)
. Note the flag backdrop.
Superman flying with a USA flag, from the movie Superman (series). Quote from the movie: “I'm here to fight for truth, justice, and the American way.”.
If your way is the French way, or Chinese way, or Arabic way, you better watch out.
Christopher Reeve and his wife Data Reeve seems to be great people. Unfortunately, they both suffered tragedy and died young, around ~2005.
A poster, showing a savage-looking guy holding a bloody knife, with his face and upper torso painted in American flag. The caption reads “AM I RIGHTEOUS NOW”. This image probably dates sometimes after
Iraq War in 2003.
