And I'd argue that Marvel characters are the same. Peter didn't let tragedy define him, he continued to grow, went to college, attempted to get his PhD and through some Doc Ock fukkery finally got it. He owns his own company, he got married, he pushed to make a better life for himself and his family. Wolverine got over himself and wised up to the point where he opened a school for mutants and became a headmaster, despite all of his personal BS, he managed to do something really selfless in the name of professor X and Jean Grey in order to help kids who may be in the same situation he was in. Tony has conquered his alcoholic demons and while he's still not perfect, he's no longer a fiend. Reed found a way to balance his work and his personal life, something he couldn't have done before and Banner has embraced the good that comes with being Hulk and learned to control his anger rather than be a slave to it. Daredevil even has gotten over his demons and his past in order to try to be a better man and make the world a brighter place. All of them push and push and push but they never lose sight of what makes them human
