A bit of Superworld Lore
Iron Eagle is what we call a tragedy.
He was a normal human by the name of [REDACTED] living in what else but a metropolitan area. However the mutants began to become more numerous and villains were more common than heroes by a 60% to 40%, and that doesn’t even include the neutrals.
Therefore, the man took it upon himself to become a mutant hunter, slowly becoming more successful and famous. Soon enough he upgrades thanks to government assistance and now helps the heroes, if a bit cautious.
However, a battle at the hospital with a radioactive villain results in a permanent effect unlike most mutants. Most mutants can turn off their ability or it wears out over time, but when Iron Eagle was born, he was fundamentally altered.
Fortunately, his sanity was intact, and devoted himself to humanity even more to prevent himself from falling into madness or greed. Soon enough, he helped push the villains into hiding.
But along the way, the peace led to an abuse of power. One day, Iron Eagle witnessed a few heroes pulverizing a defeated villain to near death. Attempting to stop the potential carnage, Iron Eagle was soon antagonized for this ordeal, but it led to him questioning what exactly heroes are seen as.
If they uphold the system, but are supported by the system, then they are simply working in self-interest. Of course the villains want to tear it down in 50 insane schemes, but there was always merit once or twice.
Through trial, betrayal, and a bit of bloodlust for chaos, Iron Eagle joined the neutrals and cut the mutant population down several notches.
He now flies to other cities, hoping to liberate the minds of the masses from so-called heroes like the Champions or Sentry Force Prime.

Ankara grew up in the poorest part of Bedlam City. She lost her father at a young age. Her father had been involved in a counterfeit designer bag operation and had fallen to his death while being pursued by the vigilante Pterodactyl-Man, founding member of the Retribution Union of America. Being down-and-out she signed up to a medical experiment being conducted by Meffott Enterprises (not knowing Jason Meffott is Pterodactyl_man’s secret identity). Every participant vanished into thin air but she reappeared – she had somehow gained superpowers which she has vowed to use to bring Pterodactyl-Man (and all of the members of RUA* enabling him) to justice.

I'll never agree with the short Peeta/tall Katniss takes because their canonical sizes are both narratively and thematically relevant.
Peeta's medium height and stocky build give him the size and strength to overpower most of his competitors in the arena, yet he rarely uses those traits to hurt people despite being in circumstances that encourage violence. Having the power and motive to be deadly and choosing to be kind instead is what defines Peeta's character.
Katniss's small size generally puts her at a disadvantage in the Games but she's still very deadly. I like that she's earned the skills (bow and arrow, hunting) and survivor mentality that make her a formidable tribute because she's not supposed to be this naturally gifted "chosen one" type figure. She's a regular teenage girl who has some special qualities but still needs a lot of help to win the Games.
Their size difference is also relevant in their relationship. Katniss has had to take care of herself since she was a young girl because of her mother's neglect, and as a result she doesn't trust other people to protect her. She's understandably mistrustful of Peeta's kindness when they become tributes, as one of them has to die for the other to live and he has the ability to kill her with his bare hands if he wants to (which we see later on when he's hijacked). Yet once they become allies, his larger size is no longer a potential threat but a source of comfort and protection; being held by him is the safest Katniss has felt with anyone since her parents held her as a little kid. And after they leave the arena, his strong arms are the only ones she trusts to guard her from her nightmares.
So even though I do think short guy-tall girl couples deserve more rep, it doesn't really make sense for Peeta and Katniss. And tbh viewing the gentle and compassionate boy as short and the tough hunter girl as tall is a little stereotypical lol.

Tiny stiles who wants to be a super hero so he begs his mother to make him a cape - “it has to be red mom, all the superheroes have capes and red is my favorite colour.” - but he also says it needs a hood so he can hide his face from the bad guys.
And his mother makes it for him a red cape with a hood! And he wears it every chance he gets, it’s his favourite thing ever. He wears it into his journey into the woods and when he saved a random dog in the woods. He wears it to the grocery store where he bumps into a boy who calls him “little red riding hood” and every time after that, when he see stiles he calls him little red. Even after stiles stops wearing the cape. He complains to the dog in the woods, but for some odd reason it seems amused.
He pretends to hate it but after his mother dies, it becomes a constant that he can rely on. Until he can’t. So he forgets.
Well until the day he is holding Derek who’s been shot by a wolfbane bullet and Derek is delirious and saying random things.- “thanks little red” - he smiles at stiles before he pass out.
