Why real life conflicts cant translate into comics

#1
So for example, In superman vs the elite
there's this conflict about terrorism in the fictional country of bilaya and so superman goes to stop it with the elite helping what makes no sense about the entire encounter with them being superhumanly fast, they can just knock the normal humans out before they notice and with manchester's power to read minds then he can find out where their base would be and get rid of them all ofc that's not what happens as the story needs them to exist, To pose the question of is killing okay or not if the people are causing massive amounts of harm.
Anyway, my problem here would be when you have conflicts of a human lv in a book about superhumans. things are just stupidly wrote like you cant have alot of real life issues be tackled in the way the writers do when characters are fast enough to travel around the planet in a minute, World hungry well superman flies around the planet feeding them in maybe an hour

People been making millions from vidoe games based on real life conflicts so why can't it works as comics
Was talking within the confines of a superhero setting, You cannot write stories about tragedy of war in a universe where there's a superhuman who can stop that conflict with a finger. it just does not logically follow

it's not like were talking about a batman only universe where the strongest person is a mortal man with ninja training and a Kevlar suit
or even more tame, cowboy bebop style setting where everyone has presumed normal human limits of power ie still dying to swords and bullets

alot of real life conflicts are based upon there being human limits to things, you cant have for example the execution and enslavement of native americans if there was actually some superhuman lv being among them. What would European colonizers have done to a superman who's immune to bullets much less their far inferior technology nothing conflict could of never occurred and that's the problem when marvel and dc try to bring up social issues in their books, It just does not function in the confines of the setting they have layed out
