I just realized that what sets Netflix's Stretch Armstrong above the rest of contemporary superhero cartoons is that it gave each protagonist a rich inner and personal life, both separate from their superhero identity AND serving as their motivation to become a superhero. Compare Jake, Nathan, Ricardo, and Riya to Marvel's Spider-Man's main protagonists - Peter, Miles, Anya, Gwen, and Harry.
Out of the five MSM protags, only Peter has his personal life consistently explored. Harry's personal life is explored but only in opposition to Peter's, and once Harry's arc concludes in S1, he drops off as a protagonist entirely and becomes a supporting character in S2 & S3. While Gwen gets some personal life development in S1, it is to only forward the villain-of-the-week plotline. Once that resolves, Gwen is hardly given any real character growth except in a few key episodes with Anya. We never see her father or what her life is like outside of Horizon High. Miles and Anya both have a single episode that explores their family dynamics and THEN we only see Jefferson and (a fake!) Maria as poorly-executed villains to add drama to the last half of S3. Neither Miles or Anya organically develops without either Peter or Gwen around.
With Stretch Armstrong, each of the protagonist's family and past are explored. You get the backstory, you get familial dynamics, and you get motivations. Jake wants to be a hero to both escape the confines of the rigid expectations his father places on him AND because he feels like he can finally put all the lessons his dad taught him to use. Nathan wants to be a hero to protect his family and stay close to his friends. Ricardo wants to be a hero because he finally wants to belong somewhere - he wants community, and he wants friends that he doesn't have to leave behind. Riya's primary motivation is avenging her parents and taking down Rook before his corporate schemes go too far. And notice how all their motivations are distinct to their family dynamics and personal ambitions!
Why do Gwen, Anya, and Miles want to be heroes? We don't learn about Miles' desire to protect his neighborhood until S3! What are they motivated by? Just a desire to help? They're just naturally good people and want to make the world a better place? But why? Where does that desire come from? What do their family and community think of them - how are they motivated by those factors? MSM hardly explores that - MSM is primarily in service to the fantastical elements of Peter's life. And, when we do have time to catch up on the protags' personal lives, it is almost always Peter that has these moments. The MSM writers wanted to give Peter a team but then they never explored that team, never gave the audience to care about them other than "they're Peter's friends," while Stretch Armstrong gave Jake a team and THEN chose to develop each protagonist into their own fully-realized character. The show was about Jake but his team was not there to just serve his character and story - they each had their OWN character and OWN story. Had SAATFF been picked up for an S3, I'm almost positive Erika's personal life outside of Nathan would also have been fully explored to the point of being a main character rather than a secondary one.
IDK man, it just feels like contemporary superhero shows and comics in general can't balance the fantastical with the average, day-to-day lives of their protagonists. That's why ITSV and ATSV are so revered and stand out - because of that balance. Miles is a compelling character because he deals with and endures all these fantastical elements of his life WHILE having problems with his parents and deciding what his future will entail. Gwen is a compelling character for similar reasons. Their romance is compelling for these reasons - balancing the fantastical with the mundane - Gwen protecting Miles by keeping him away from Spider Society and all of its secrets, but still feeling jealous when Miles eyes Margo; Miles coming along with Gwen to earth-50101 to help her and then slightly panicking upon learning Gwen has been staying on another earth with a dude named Hobie.
If superhero writers have forgotten this, if they can't find that balance and explore it, then we're really in fucking trouble for years and years to come.

I been thinking of there being a comic book IP and sometimes a shared universe with superheroes, vigilantes, super-powered individuals, etc., similar to Marvel and DC, but it’s from shows and movies that either been cancelled, been left on a cliffhanger, are underrated, are not well-known, or have more potential than was presented.
It can’t already be based off another series, comic book, or have even been successful, which is why The Incredibles isn’t on here.
There are a few more that I want to include but I’m not sure about some of them.
And I will give you credit if anyone decides to come up with a name for whatever this is.

Jonathan Rook SFW alphabet (NSFW coming soon lol)
Affection: In public- Not afraid to be handsy (hand holding, staying close by your side) At home- Surprisingly touchy and willing to be affectionate
Best friend: Rook is an outgoing business man, and that plays into how he treats you. As a friend. He’s not scared to embarrass you in public, but he is considerate..doesn’t mean he tells you everything
Cuddles: Since Jonathan’s mothers passing, almost no one has been allowed near enough to even touch him without his security taking them down, so saying ‘touch starved’ is a tad understatement
Domestic: Rook isn’t the worst at cooking or cleaning, but trust me, it isn’t too great. He’s used to others doing it for him in recent times. Settling down is something he doesn’t really think about, but if he found his person, he’d want them to 100% stay in Rook Tower with him
Ending: Most likely breaking up over text (he doesn’t always have time or motivation)
Fiancé: With Rook, he wouldn’t be too upset if his significant other would suggest marriage, however, the wedding would most likely be secret, considering his publicity
Gentle: As someone who isn’t one for trusting, when he finally finds his other half, he’s being as gentle as he can to just keep them around. He can get slightly aggressive when upset however :(
Hugs: Side hugs are preferable, but when alone with you, he sometimes just lays his head in your lap and hugs your torso like a pillow
I Love You: After a few months, he’ll probably come up to you and ask you if you love him. Say yes, and he’ll immediately say it back. Say no, and you’re probably sent away
Jealousy: Outwardly, not as showy. He’s got the public to show off for. Inwardly, ready to turn into Stretch Monster and wreck them
Kisses: Usually just little pecks around your face from him in public, however, he prefers slow kissing when out of prying eyes. He’s handsy when his lips are on yours, and sometimes opens his eyes just to make sure you’re enjoying it
Little Ones: While not usually around young children, he tends to get along with them. Having any of his own, and he’s spoils them rotten
Morning: He’s an early bird, but likes to stick around just to watch you wake up. He finds it cute how messed up you look
Night: Due to him secretly being Stretch Monster, he’s not always around most of the night. When he does come back, he just wants to cuddle and love you
Open: Rook would honestly never willingly tell you about his secret, but once you find out, he’d make sure you keep it. If you kept his secret and maybe even helped him go against the Flex Fighters, he would be overjoyed. If not, he might just have to lock you away. Or kill you :((
Patience: Rook is very patient, but once angered enough, he’s like a fuse. Explosive
Quizzes: Jonathan is a genius. He remembers everything about you and everything you like
Remember: His favorite moment about you would most likely be when he realized you liked him
Security: Rook would be extremely protective of you, especially if you were pregnant. Sending most of his security to make sure you’re safe
Try: Jonathan would go above and beyond for you, no matter the circumstances
Ugly: He doesn’t always tell you everything…like his monster secret or true plans for humanity
Vanity: Due to the public, his looks are one of his main features. With you, he still tries to look his best, but knows you don’t always mind
Whole: Rook loves you through and through, but I wouldn’t say he’d be ‘incomplete’ without you, just…upset. Badly
Xtra: Jonathan likes that you remind him of his mother, that’s one of the main reasons he fell in love
Yuck: Jonathan would hate if you were a fan of the Flex Fighters, and would definitely show it
Zzz: Even though his looks betray it, he really does not get much sleep…
