Some versions do try to tell a more complex story, like The Boys and Invincible. My Hero Academia is also there as an anime

Doesn't Invincible literally work with and for a secret government military organization?

TBF, Cecil is like the gold standard for shadowy government operation heads - he’s not corrupt, he listens to experts, he has no hidden agenda besides a full commitment to the Earth’s defense from near-constant alien invasion, and the worst thing he does is not fully trust Mark (with pretty good reason, let’s not lie) and rehabilitate villains by forcing them to use their abilities to protect the Earth. That and teleporter abuse, but he’s earned that.

, and the worst thing he does is

...to farm dead veterans and turn them into cyborg soldiers solely so that he can antagonize Mark and (fail to) make a point about how "above things" he has to be?

Oh and he tapped the water supply of the entire country. Possibly the entire world, who knows. Anyone who's read Batman "protocol" stories how where do those "preparations" lead and how.

That and teleporter abuse, but he’s earned that.

At the cost that has been calculated by the fanbase, in the apparent economy of cities being destroyed on the double? Okay that one I might be willing to concede.
