So the question arguably becomes: Did 70s-era D&D begin – consciously or not – as a fantasy skin over a superhero-like base?
(Me, I've never really thought about the superhero genre as a meaningful input into the creation of fantasy RPGs. But it's certainly interesting to look at how the genres of fantasy and superheroes turned out, and make comparisons.)

Well the reason I said DFRPG and not high powered fantasy is because I run DFRPG and not (insert system) fantasy.
As it is there are a lot of comparison between the cinematic versions of Hawkeye and Legolas or comparing say Dr Strange and a DF Wizard and so on.
