3 and 3.5 was possibly even more "super-hero-y" than 4th, in part because of the proliferation of OGL material and sketchy quality control of even WotC work in the start of 3e.

Comparing 250 points to 5th level as an argument that this is "superheroy" is a little amusing to me, because I'm constantly bumping into people who don't regard D&D (3e, 4e, 5e, Pathfinder...) as "starting" until level 4 or 5.
