Yeah. Totally unrelatable for most Americans. The billionaire genius who is also drunk a lot is so much more like us!
I actually found the Gods and Monsters iteration of Superman to be interesting for reasons like this. It showed just how little you need to change about Clark's origin story to create a recognizable but very different person, how much influence the Kents had in shaping who he became and what a Superman raised into a very different perspective on humanity looks like.
