## Summary

Collider ranks nine superhero shows from the past 20 years that it considers close to perfect, arguing that the strongest combine well-paced plots, compelling character arcs and action. The article highlights how some series have also used the genre to explore social issues and develop ideas from their source material.

Its examples include *X-Men ’97*, praised for continuing the 1992 animated series while welcoming new viewers, and *Watchmen*, described as a thoughtful continuation of the comic that addresses racism. The 2021 *Invincible* adaptation is commended for staying close to the comic while giving characters such as Amber Bennett greater depth. The supplied article text ends partway through its discussion of *Invincible*, so it does not provide the full ranking.
