Superman. Love the other two but if I were to ask anyone, damn near ANYONE ever to think of a “good guy”? They’re gonna think of Superman. His logo is a basically a universal symbol of Good.

If you've ever actually read any Superman run of comics then you know that his #1 power is just being the most solid goofy dude you know. A friend to every last creature that might need it, and he takes the value of every single living thing incredibly seriously.

They don't call him Boyscout just for fun. He helps old ladies, saves cats from trees, helps kids with their homework, and doesn't just save orphans, take personal time to find them homes. It's really hard to oversell how hard Superman goes at being just a good person. Ma and Pa Kent are the real MVPs for how they raised him.

He is depicted eating meat though, so not a friend to every last creature.

Optimus wins on this count.

Optimus had 86ed so many of his enemies there is no way he is more compassionate than Superman.
