What fascinates me though is that the villains aren't all trapped in the old style of bank robber. As comic books have progressed, their motivations -- as well as the motivations of the heroes -- have become explored at much greater depth.

Think about it. Suppose you suddenly had superpowers. Let's say you had the ability to fly, stength, and a level of invulnerability. Why be a superhero or a supervillain? What would you get out of it?

There's a character in Invincible, Atom Eve, who has transmutation powers. Eventually, she decides to stop going after bank robbers and evil scientists, and instead uses her powers to create viable farmland in drought-ridden deserts. Definitely a more sophisticated way of approaching the question of a superhero's motivations.
