In response to questions on the group and their playing style, I would say its evolved over time. There are 8 different players, ranging from 20 games played to 50 games played.I would expect different groups to get different results, based on their playing styles, but I reject any suggestion that my group is therefore playing the game 'worse' than another group, or that another group does not also have a unique playing style. It is simply incorrect to say that if these results are contrary to your results, then it must be THIS group with 'group think' or whatever and not your group. I can't see any way to determine how play styles affect the games.
As I said in the other posts, there is still not enough data yet to be really solid results. I think its virtually certain that Cyborg is a better character than the Flash or Batman, but its too early to say anything else. Aquaman may have just been unlucky until now and will move up the scoreboard over the next games, or he might not.
But there is actually more data out there. Some other folk on BGG are recording their plays. There are two people I could find with 10+ games recorded. Here is a summary of their results (22 games total), mostly three player games:
0.63 Superman
0.57 Cyborg
0.53 Flash
0.52 Wonder Woman
0.50 Green Lantern
0.42 Batman
0.38 Aquaman
Note that one of the people only recorded the winner, so I've assumed that the others split the other placings evenly.
In terms of win percentages, the results are:
27% Wonder Woman
25% Green Lantern
25% Superman
25% Cyborg
20% Batman
19% Aquaman
10% Flash
So its pretty clear that others are not having huge success with Aquaman. The Flash is a considerably better here than in my results, although he still does not win much - just more consistent second place finishes.
Another guy posted some results here:

He only did win percentages, with each character playing about 25 four-player games.
40% Aquaman
35% The Flash
27% Green Lantern
21% Wonder Woman
21% Cyborg
19% Superman
18% Martian Manhunter
15% Batman
Other than Batman being last, this list is not very similar to mine or the other stats I found. The Flash being above Cyborg is very surprising, since Cyborg's ability is prove-ably better - I don't think there is any disagreement about that.
Anyway, until someone else posts results up then I guess my results are the most authoritative out there. If you really think the results are wrong then post your own!
