Black Summer is the same concept writ large. A Superman analogue kills the President and Vice-President for war crimes against humanity, and the whole country goes crazy realizing that he has to be stopped, or who knows what he will do next...
Powers dealt with this too. Of course I can't remember which TPB it was in. (Wikipedia tells me it was The Sellouts.)

The Pope is trying to appeal to NASCAR dads?
Now I wanna see the Catholic Church sponsor a NASCAR car....
OK, best parodic superhero/supervillian?
I'd probably put The Tick before Venture Bros. There's also Ennis's The Pro, Moore's The First American, & Veitch's Bratpack.
