Look at the comics. Many of them are combat-intensive, or the ones I used to read were. Ditto the films. Spiderman getting lumops whacked out of him, batman cracking heads, even Daredevil liked to mix it.
Combat has always been a big part of SuperHero comics and should be a big part of SuperHero games.
There are, of course, other things that are good fun. If you play The Nerd then you will be good with computers and science stuff; if you play The Whizz then you will be good at travelling quickly; if you play The Brain you will be good at problem solving and planning.
But, at the end of the day, it comes down to taking out SuperVillains and that may well involve combat.
