"Aren't superpowers a form of magic?"
You would think! Batman and Superman both are famous for muttering "I hate magic," in the comics. It's one of those weird disconnects in comic world logic.
Like the world loves The Fantastic Four, but hates the X-Men. Because the Fantastic Four are normal humans that got their powers from space, and the X-Men were born with their powers therefore they can't be trusted.
Just shrug and move on.

Well Batman's power is riches. Some do bug me like how Hulk managed to get a load of mass from nowhere, but we have to suspend belief for a lot of these things. It's mostly fantasy.
Yeah, it's fun to listen to the pseudo-science explanations of super powers. There was a scene in Firestarter by Stephen King, just a reprint of some memos going back and forth between the scientists studying the pyrokinetic girl. "She raised the temperature by X degrees in so many seconds and only consumed about 13 calories in the process, the same amount she would from just standing there. If you can explain to me where the energy came from I'll have your Nobel Prize waiting for you." Something like that, quoting from memory and I read that in high school...
