Which is exactly the point Gillianren had, superman is too perfect, while the endless as people are fundamentally flawed by being contrasts to the concepts they where supposed to reflect, which is what makes them so interesting.
Ok, Despair is not in much contrast, but she's both the youngest(having replaced a previous Despair) and the least interesting.
