Superheroes all but died out for a significant period due to

The 1960s titles I listed weren't just riding off the coattails of Batman and Superman. The 1960s titles I listed played a substantial role in reviving superhero comics from what Wertham did to them.
So the popularity of superheroes is
not just a carryover from the 1930s.
Look, hyl,
this is the bottom line - North American audiences have no problem with heroic characters with super-powers wearing flashy/unusual costumes. In fact, such characters have never been more popular than what they are now. There is no particular reason why magical girl anime couldn't tap into the same audience that likes superheroes. I myself am a magical girl anime fan in large part because I was previously a superhero fan.
