if you view this through the lens of enemies and weaker powers trying to jab at the superpower, I think you will find it a model with greater predictive power than "paragon" gets egg on its face. They are certainly similar with overlaps so the variables may be hard to differentiate. I think that you get jabs at both but it takes a paragon to really stir up the schadenfreude. Holier-than-thou trumps power, methinks, in stirring resentment but that's just my opinion. Put the two of them together and it's a sure thing. It really doesn't matter much which is the key indicator, I don't think, to the argument about double standards. Powers and paragons both trigger double standards.
