The theme was in no way painted on. It's extremely self-evident through the entire game that this is a DC Comics deck building game. Every card is designed to represent something DC, and it all works.
The multiple currency + random center row thing leads to very unpleasant games, and the catch-all term "Power" working for everything has no intrinsic issues. Anything you dislike about it is you adding the wrong mental images (yes, they are wrong because they create problems, it's not the word that creates problems).
I already addressed your addressing. It's first and foremost a card game, not an RPG.

And we're back to this again. I explained why I disagreed with you. And your response is not to accept that I disagree with you but to explain how this is all some kind of character flaw in me. This is why you're getting the hostile backlash.
So I'm going back to "give it up, dude". I was foolish to believe I could get through to you.
